Thanks to this, Japanese lovers of Taiwanese food have flocked to the island. This August, a guide with a group of about a dozen elderly Japanese tourists came to sightsee in Taiwan. As well as coming to visit various famous historical sites, another major part of their visit was the railway, during the course of their journey along which they were to try the Taiwan Rail lunches.
今年八月，一位日本導遊帶著十餘位上了年紀的日本觀光團員來台觀光，他們此行除了參觀名勝古蹟外，還有一項很重要的行程，就是坐火車，然後在車上品嚐台灣鐵路便當。
