Did you know that a light railway once known affectionately as the "Yamasen" ran along the cycling road connecting Tomakomai and Lake Shikotsu? In its early years, from 1908, it hauled materials and construction crews for a hydroelectric plant upstream on the Chitose River; in its middle years it carried logs; and in its later years it transported tourists to Lake Shikotsu, serving the area for 43 years until 1951. On September 6, 2025, the YAMASEN30th event will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Yamasen being exhibited at its current location ✨

Minagi Station on the Bobi Line in Okayama Prefecture. It is a retro station that has been carrying people and feelings since 1925 (at that time, it was the terminus of the Bobi South Line, the predecessor of the Bobi Line). There are many stations in the Chugoku region, including the Bobi Line, with such a retro atmosphere, so I would like to visit all of them someday.

Japan houses lined up in the back with the Nose Electric Railway 7200 series near Myomiguchi, the northernmost point of Osaka. I was able to talk about various things with the farmer who was working in the field, and the conversation was lively. It was quiet and rich in nature, so I want to go again.

The JTB special train “Tabimonogatari” has arrived! The JTB “Tabimonogatari” has made a stop here for three consecutive years since Reiwa 5. This year too, we welcomed guests on the station platform with about 34 minutes of hospitality. 🚃 About 60 guests enjoyed Shintoku soba tea, two kinds of soba-yu (rich soba-yu and dashi-infused soba-yu), and soba karinto, and we sold a limited assortment set. Afterward, guests took photos on the platform and in front of the station’s photo frame, and enjoyed shopping at the station shop. More than ten groups posed at the “Soba Red Photo Frame” installed immediately to the left after exiting JR Shintoku Station. At the station shop, the soba karinto offered for tasting proved so popular that it sold out. When we spoke with guests returning to the platform, we heard happy remarks like “It was very delicious” and “It goes well with tea,” with people holding soba karinto. We bade them farewell, hoping they will stop by again next year. A short announcement. The “Soba Red Photo Frame” in front of the station is not a face-in panel, but you can pose as if you are eating soba noodles.

From August 2024 the Saba-go has been running on the JR Obama Line, and from November the Torafugu-go joined it. And starting this week the Saba-go and the Torafugu-go are coupled together so you can see them at the same time. To be honest, without prior information it’s hard to tell what the pattern is, but if you spot them something good might happen‼️ maybe‼️ right!? JR Obama Line This JR West railway runs from Tsuruga Station in Fukui Prefecture to Higashi-Maizuru Station in Kyoto Prefecture. Both the Saba-go and the Torafugu-go are scheduled to run on the Obama Line for about five years. Their operating times have not been released.
