«Trenes hacia Tokio» is a collection of short stories by Alberto Olmos, published by Lengua de Trapo in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
A volume of short stories that approaches contemporary Japan from within, beyond clichés: characters in recognizable situations, relationships between people, daily routines, loneliness, love and the search for meaning. The title evokes the trains that cross the country and the journeys of those trying to find their place.

For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in short stories and a literary look at Japan.
