【JR Tadami Line】

The JR Tadami Line, which made a miraculous full recovery in 2022! It is a scenic local line covering approximately 135km from Aizu-Wakamatsu Station in Fukushima Prefecture to Koide Station in Niigata Prefecture. The view from the window as it weaves through grand mountain valleys and rural landscapes is breathtakingly beautiful. It is packed with highlights, such as the 'station closest to the river' where the Tadami River flows right in front of the platform, the stunning view of the Taishi settlement, and the area around Hayato Station where magical mists rise in the mornings and evenings during summer! Stations with stories to tell, such as Aizu-Miyashita Station, the gateway to the Tadami Line's highlight, the 'No. 1 Tadami River Bridge,' and Aizu-Yanaizu Station, the birthplace of the Akabeko legend, will color your journey.

【Sightseeing Train SL Banetsu Monogatari】

Enjoy an immersive steam locomotive experience woven together by powerful whistles and white smoke!

【JR Iiyama Line】

The JR Iiyama Line runs alongside the clear streams of the river! It is a scenic local line through the countryside that heals the heart, woven together by majestic mountains and beautiful rural landscapes.
