The train will cease operation in March 2024. It is over 100 years old. The exterior of the SL Hitoyoshi, the oldest steam locomotive in Japan.

It has been announced that the train will cease operation around March 2024. The SL Hitoyoshi is a train pulled by the oldest active steam locomotive in Japan, which is over 100 years old. There was only one other group of passengers from Tosu Station to Kumamoto Station. We enjoyed a luxurious, almost private steam locomotive trip. I haven't experienced a steam locomotive trip since I was a child. I was surprised that it was almost a private trip. I don't know much about trains, but the conductor explained that the SL Hitoyoshi departing from Tosu Station is pulled by a diesel car, so it's inevitably less popular. It's a shame to be able to experience such a luxurious trip. It was a valuable experience, so I will post about the inside of the train and the food separately. I hope you will be interested and enjoy it before the train ends. I rode it on October 10th. #Train trip #SL #Locomotive #Autumn trip #Tosu #Kumamoto #Kumamoto sightseeing #Kumamoto trip

Tosu Station This JR Kyushu station is located in Kyomachi, Tosu City, Saga Prefecture, and is one of the oldest stations in Kyushu, having existed since the opening of the first Kyushu Railway. It is the only station in Kyushu where the Nagasaki Main Line and the Kagoshima Main Line intersect, so you can see express trains and trains on both the Nagasaki Main Line and the Kagoshima Main Line. The JNR No. 268 steam locomotive and Ekimae Real Estate Stadium (home of J1 Sagan Tosu) can be seen from the station platform. #supporttourism #Tosu #Saga #KashiwaUdon #supporttourism
