A nostalgic heritage railway running along the Oigawa River. It is famous for its authentic steam locomotives (SL) that puff smoke through beautiful tea plantations and deep valleys. The line includes Japan's only Abt-system railway, taking you to the dramatic "Floating Station" on a lake. With retro passenger cars and special "Thomas the Tank Engine" runs, it offers a cinematic journey through Shizuoka’s deep nature that delights both children and adults with its vintage charm.
