One more manhole cover in Yuda Onsen features the white fox, this time in combination with one of the last steam trains in Japan, the Yamaguchi Go.
It stops in Yuda Onsen after starting from Shin Yamaguchi Station. It then runs to Tsuwano up in the mountains of Shimane. It runs most weekends and holidays between March and November.
The locomotive was built in 1936, and each of the carriages is fitted out in the style of different rail eras. The train is very popular so advance bookings are needed.
The train stops in Tsuwano for sebveral hours allowing passengers the chance to explore the town before heading back to Yamaguchi.
I love the train!
ReplyDeleteSimply fantastic, no wonder advance booking is required. Lights in the last pic are breathtaking: thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! I'm glad it's still running. I got to ride it six or seven years ago.
