Whenever spring comes, trains such as the Oigawa Railway in central Japan and the Hirosaki Sakura Matsuri and Kakunodate Samurai Sakura in the northeast will be marked with the special train "SAKURA" (cherry blossom); and the Kominato Railway in Kanto. , Shikoku's Yozan Line and other landscape moving lines, the cherry blossoms extend along the railway tracks, laying out a wonderful cherry blossom railway journey. These "Hanajian trains" are not only sultry, but also many stops are also cherry blossom viewing spots. One of the great things about traveling by train is that you can concentrate on the slowly receding scenery outside the window, or you can enjoy the flowers while drinking local wine. The main line of the Oigawa Railway is a "Hanami Train" with an old Japanese flavor. The railway winds through Shizuoka Prefecture, where Mount Fuji is located. The SL steam train drags a long steam of white smoke and follows the Oigawa step by step. The old steam train travels to and from Jingu, Between a thousand heads, a distance of 39.5 kilometers, the scenery of tea gardens, villages, and valleys and mountains overlap. Sitting in the quaint wooden carriage, watching the scenes of Japanese impressions, it is like watching an old movie. The Oigawa Railway Main Line starts from Kanaya Station on the JR Tokaido Main Line, goes north along the Oigawa River, and arrives at Senzu Station at the entrance of Cunyu Gorge Hot Spring. During the cherry blossom viewing season, a limited express steam locomotive runs back and forth every day. It is particularly recommended that there is a cherry blossom tunnel composed of about 300 Someiyoshino trees near Jiashan Station, which was once used as a film location, with a unique style. You can get off the bus halfway, have a packed lunch here, and fully enjoy the fun of viewing flowers.
