Bungo-Mori Roundhouse Park, located in Kusu Town, is a prestigious, highly emotional historic cultural park where the footprint legacy of the "Old Bungo-Mori Roundhouse" completed in 1934, which once supported Kyushu's railway transport, is carefully preserved. The magnificent fan-shaped concrete roundhouse and the heavy, authentic steam locomotive (SL) standing there are simply breathtaking, instantly inviting travelers into the history story of Japan's old good modernization. Rumored to be a model for a world-class animated masterpiece film, it is a brilliant master scenic spot and highly popular among global travelers. Trace history's footprints in the deep silence away from urban bustle to touch artisans' craftsman identity.
