Vintage Tokyo to Atami and Shuzenji Railway Sign

One for you shushu-tetsu out there (that’s someone who collects railway memorabilia): this is an original vintage piece of railwayana, all the way from Japan.

This is an original metal and enamel sign and double-sided. One side reads Tokyo to Atami and the other reads Tokyo to Shuzenji, unreserved section on the Izu Express line.

Atami is a seaside resort famous for its hot springs and ryokan, and Shuzenji aka ‘Little Kyoto’ is an onsen town known for its own bamboo forest, fairytale bridges and wasabi ice cream.
