The train will cease operation around March 2024, so we will show you inside the passenger car of the 100-year-old "SL Hitoyoshi". Tosu Station → Kumamoto Station The interior of the train has a nostalgic atmosphere, and there is a model steam locomotive on display in the well-maintained passenger seats. Each passenger car has a different interior, so you can travel without getting bored no matter how many times you use it. At the front and back of the train, there is a shared space with a good view, separate from the seats. The lunch box is a limited-edition "Tosu SL Bento". Since it was almost a private train, they brought it to us from the onboard sales. You can also take a commemorative photo of your ride with a date stamp on it😊 A relaxing and leisurely steam locomotive trip. It was a charming and comfortable trip. Used on October 10th. #Kumamoto #Tosu #sl #ekiben #Kyushu #bento #Autumn trip

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
