Also known as Night on the Galactic Railroad, this is a very famous young adult book in Japan.
Originally published in 1934, two intrepid young boys from a small Japanese village take a trip on a fantastical Milky Way Train on the night of a local festival. On the way they witness many amazing sights until they ultimately must part. It's a short book, it reminds a little of Jules Verne, but its a fun read.

En realidad me han gustado más las historias de Matasaburo y Gauche que la del tren nocturno, pero igualmente son bonitas las tres. Al leer Gauche me he acordado del corto de animación que hizo Studio Ghibli y que vi hace tiempo. Una historia corta pero graciosa :)
