A Journey by Rail (Shikoku) - Tosa Province.

The Story of the Dawn of the Era in Shikoku Tosa The train named 'The Spirit of Shikoku Tosa' departs from Kochi to Kubokawa, greeting NPCs and passengers at different stops with waves, while serving an exquisite meal. The exterior is a retro mix of steam locomotive and jet engine designs, with a two-tone color scheme. From the front and back, it looks like two different trains: The brown 'KUROFUNE (Black Ship)' car number one, themed after wooden steamships, features an interior with wood and sky blue tones, reviving the late 19th-century art design style that symbolized the 'dawn of a new century' with the Black Ships; The white 'SORAFUNE (Sky Ship)' car number two is conceptualized as a modern space vessel, signifying the pursuit of future dreams. It offers a unique view of the tropical scenery along the Pacific coast, embarking on an unknown new journey. In short, it's a fusion of old and new! The route is the Tosa Kuroshio Line, passing through Ino, Sagawa, Susaki, and Tosa Kure, with a total journey time of 2 hours and 40 minutes. The meal is a Kochi Prefecture specialty 'Sara-bachi style' local cuisine, with hexagonal dishes containing grilled vegetables with tomato jelly, salt-grilled sweetfish, eel rice, stewed octopus, and Shimanto beef grilled with sansho miso.
