Retro style station

As a railway fan, of course you have to ride the special railways and visit the stations when you come to Japan! ! ! Kumagaya Station is the first and last station of the Chichibu Railway. Arriving at this station, it feels like going back in time to the Showa period in Japan. It is full of retro style, even the soda machines are retro, and there are check-in spots everywhere. It is really exciting to see! At Kumagaya Station, you can also take the old steam train SL PALEO EXPRESS. The train runs along the Arakawa River, with endless hillsides and pleasant river views along the way. However, the SL PALEO EXPRESS service is very sparse. I unfortunately missed it this time because of a railway delay when I departed from Tokyo. But other trains are also full of history and atmosphere! #2024TravelReview
