The
Japanese
Railway Society (JRS) was founded in 1991 in
London to promote the knowledge of the
railways of Japan in the UK &
other non-Japanese-speaking parts of the world. Since 1991, there have
been
several activities like exhibitions (also of railway models), a TV-show
(on
Naruhodo The World, Fuji TV),
many meetings in the United Kingdom, Germany, the
Netherlands,
and many guided tours to and meetings in Japan.
Our membership is now more than 200 people in over 10 countries
worldwide.

101 Series Trams
The 101st issue of our magazine, Bullet-In, features type 101 trams and trains. The only 101 series trams in Japan are the Randen (Keifuku) trams in western Kyoto, of which cars #101 to 106 exist, all built in 1975. All other trams in Japan that are numbered 101 do actually belong to a series 100, as does the Kagoshima tram #101.
