JR brochures

One the things I will do when I’m overseas, particularly in Japan, is to collect free brochures (pamphlets or leaflets) and free catalogues (or even product packages) with chic and beautiful illustrations. And in the case of Japan, these printed materials can be found in many places. (Perhaps someday I should show you my little collection.) The main JR (Japan Rail) train stations in the cities are a good place to start collecting because they display different brochures such as those for holiday getaways to other parts of the country reachable by their JR trains, of course.

Here you will see a few of the latest brochure covers for Autumn/Fall, from different regions. They can be viewed online, see links at the bottom.

If you have noticed, the first 3 are targeted at ladies only.
