\Japan's No. 1 Thomas tourism mecca/

One of the most enduring characters, just like Anpanman, is Thomas! Recently, the face of the character has changed considerably after the refurbishment, which has become a hot topic. I went to a place that excites Thomas fans, the Oigawa Railway Shin-Kanaya Station. You can see the real Thomas here. Thomas can be found at Fuji-Q and LaLaport, but this is completely different. This is a real steam locomotive that has been modified to Thomas specifications, and it is running with passenger cars pulled on real tracks! Strangely enough, even children who are into real trains will be happy to see this! (However, be careful, because it is so real, there is a risk that children who are too young will be a little scared.) You can ride the actual trains that are running, but unfortunately there is no guarantee that you will be able to ride because tickets are a hot topic. However, there is a depot at Shin-Kanaya Station, so you might be able to see Thomas resting when he is not running! ? There is a rotating platform and a photo spot, so it is worth stopping by if you are in the area. In addition, the "Plaza Loco" next door sells original Thomas goods, so don't forget to stop by there as well. Thomas-related souvenirs include Thomas Tomica cars that can only be purchased here, so Thomas fans will definitely want everything! There is a Thomas-related arcade game at the back of the shop, so be careful there too (lol) #PR #Shizuoka Tourism #Oigawa Railway #Thomas #Trip with Children #Recommended Outing Spots for Children
