Abstract
Today , people have paid more attention to scenery in Japan. Scenery from trains is not exception. Some local governments mention about scenery from trains in their issue of landscape planning, though they are only statements without detailed plan. The aim of this study is to analyze characters of scenery from trains by comparing impressions on movies and a series of still pictures of scenery from the same train. The results are 1) scenery which locates 200 - 300 meters away showed more differences of impressions between movies and a series of still pictures of scenery, 2) scenery of cities showed more differences in 'perception of three dimensions' and 'changes', 3) scenery from trains is easily affected by surroundings. From these 3 results, some guidelines about diverse scenery from trains, which are urban, natural, and ever with train stations, can be proposed.
