  1. The story starts in Tokyo in 1978. A mysterious man representing "The Boss" contacts the narrator's business partner. The narrator's agency has printed a photo of a pastoral scene, and it must stop. The Boss's secretary says the sheep in the picture is the secret source of his power. The narrator has one month to find the sheep, or his career and life will be ruined. So he sets out for the north with his girlfriend.

    場所の精度: The novel names Tokyo but no exact address for the agency; the pin marks the city centre.

  2. The couple fly to Sapporo to begin the hunt for the landscape and the sheep in the photo. The girlfriend's ears guide them to the Dolphin Hotel, which is a shadow of its former self. Upstairs lives the bitter, eccentric Sheep Professor, who remembers the sheep. The hotel is fictional, so there is nothing to find by that name.

    場所の精度: The Dolphin Hotel is invented; the pin marks Sapporo only.

  3. Readers trace the trip by its details: the party goes north from Asahikawa and then east. The sheep hunters board trains from Asahikawa, which makes the station a natural marker for the journey into the countryside. Asahikawa Station opened in 1898. The current station building was designed by Hiroshi Naito.

    場所の精度: The novel does not name the station; the pin marks Asahikawa Station as the starting point of the northern leg.

    訪問のヒント: Asahikawa Station is a working railway station.

    出典

  4. On the way north the protagonists take a train from Asahikawa and cross Shiokari Pass, which stands 263 metres high. Readers use this crossing as one clue to place the final setting in northern Hokkaido, since the book never names the village.

    場所の精度: The novel names the pass only through readers' reading of the text; the pin marks the pass itself.

  5. At the end of the line, the narrator waits in an isolated house for the Rat. Then the Sheep Man appears, a peculiar four-foot figure. The Rat later explains the house belonged to his father. The villa is fictional, but Niupu Station, the end of the Misayuki Line, opened in 1964, and farms near it are said to be one model for the story.

    場所の精度: The novel never names the place; Niupu is a traditional guess by readers, and no pin is given.

The Sound of Waves: Kamishima Island and Okinawa

Mishima's novel The Sound of Waves (Shiosai) is set on Utajima, a fishing island based on Kamishima in Mie Prefecture, with a lighthouse, a shrine and a ruined observation post that fans still visit. The route follows young fisherman Shinji and the pearl diver Hatsue from the island to a typhoon in Okinawa's Unten Port and back to the lighthouse. Kamishima is the model for the island; the novel renames it, so the island stops share one approximate pin.

Kokoro: Natsume Sōseki's Tokyo and Kamakura

Sōseki's novel Kokoro is set between Kamakura, Zōshigaya Cemetery, Ueno Park, Nogi Shrine and Koishikawa in Tokyo. This route follows the student narrator and his mysterious teacher, "Sensei", through places the book names. Starting at a summer beach in Kamakura, the route visits the cemetery where Sensei brings flowers each month, the cherry trees of Ueno, the Akasaka house of General Nogi, whose death in 1912 changes everything, and Koishikawa, where Sensei's story of K unfolds. Some stops are approximate, since the novel names districts, not addresses.

Matsumoto Seichō: Points and Lines and Castle of Sand

Points and Lines is set between Tokyo Station and the beach at Kashii in Fukuoka, while Castle of Sand follows a detective from the Kamata rail yard in Tokyo to Akita and Shimane. Seichō Matsumoto's two best-known crime novels turn Japan's railways into the clues. This route follows both stories: the four-minute gap on Tokyo Station's platforms, the Kashii shore, and the stations named Kameda that lead the detective to Kamedake. Pins at Kashii and Kamata are approximate.
