This is a JR seasonal train. It only operates in July to September. Book in advance is essential.
It was one of those pleasant, semi joy ride sort of thing. Light breeze in the face, enjoy their infamous home-made yogurt / ice cream while taking in the view. That old school wood finish definitely added to the experience. Simple joys of life!
Here is a sneak peak of what to expect 😀
The train in itself was an activity for us. We didn’t have much goal in mind. We got off at the Toro stop and walked around Lake Toro a bit. Slow travel as always. It was such a beauty!
Tip
- This train is NOT frequent. Do study the schedule carefully before hand.
- No vending machine spotted beyond Toro train station.
- I did not come across any convenient store near Toro station. Buy snacks before boarding at Kushiro station is recommended.

My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Lovely greenish part of the world
Thank you for dropping by, Sangeetha 😉 It was a big change of scenery indeed
I love train rides! So relaxing especially when the route is scenic. I love that they served ice cream on-board! If that was here, the train would be covered in a film of sticky melted ice cream but I bet that train was immaculate! But I’m shocked there are no vending machines at the station! 😮
Great images and story Joyce
Thank you, Denis 😀
