A fictionalised account of the story of the Chôshû Five, who travelled to and studied in Britain in 1863 while Japan was still under sakoku
This Japanese historical drama has a lot of scenes filmed in England, and a period train filmed on the Bluebell Railway provides the railway content, with an arrival scene filmed at Horsted Keynes station. The Japanese title translates as Chôshû Five, Chôshû being an old Japanese name for Nagato Province.
