Yes ! Matsuyama is appealing it ^^

 

“train like a matchbox” it is words that symbolizes the train that was in Matsuyama Ehime. Soseki lived in Matsuyama as english teacher in 1895~1896. His work “Botchan” is based on this experience. He took the “matchbox train” and used Dogo-onsen.

 The train, locomotive were made in Germany and used 1888~1954. In 2001, Matsuyama city revived it as a city train.
