I just read this myself, I thought it was hilarious.

 

I would say that the 20,000 estimate of enthusiasts in japan is probably conservative?!?

It was pointed out on the the Yahoo forum that hard core Japanese train enthusiasts are estimated at 1 million in Japan.  General media outlets often get these things grossly wrong.

Didn't I also hear that there are 9 million model train enthusiasts in Japan too?

 

That's what I have heard and I believe Kato is the source of that number.

Its "Just like the N-gauge Model, Train View Stay Plan" is named after Japan's standard size of model railway sets.

 

The offer includes a gift of a paperweight made of a piece of track, as well as a copy of the latest railway timetable.

 

Dude, these guys have the foamer market down.

With exception of my stay in Ueno, every hotel I have stayed in was next to the mainline. Not by design, but because these are business hotels geared towards OW men so they are always cheap.
