This street corner watching is the Tokotoko train of Nishikigawa Tetudou Co., Ltd.
Taken on June 26, 2021.
There is a railway that runs along the clear stream Nishiki River in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
The line name is Nishikigawa Seiryu Line, and the company name is Nishikigawa Railway Co., Ltd., which is operated as a third sector.
Originally, the construction of the JNR Iwahikita Line was canceled because it was never completed.
The Iwakuni Kita Line was planned to connect JR Kawanishi Station (Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture) to JR Nichihara Station (Tsuwano Town, Shimane Prefecture).
Construction has begun up to Yoshika Town (Muikaichi City), Shimane Prefecture.
After all, the completed section, from Kawanishi Station to Nishikicho Station, was operated as Nishikigawa Railway.
After that, about 6km from Nishiki-cho to the Katsukyo Onsen was developed, and the Tokotoko train is also open as a sightseeing truck.
As a rubber tire pleasure car, the one-way travel distance is the longest in Japan.
You can enjoy a fantastic world inside the “Kirara Yume Tunnel”, a tunnel decorated with glowing fluorescent stones.
Bats are flying in the second longest tunnel.
During the cherry blossom season, a tunnel is made from the cherry trees on the left and right.
In the clear stream Nishikigawa, the ban on sweetfish fishing has been lifted from June 1, and anglers can be seen everywhere.
You can enjoy seasonal flowers such as common hibiscus, cluster amaryllis, oleander, and hydrangea.
You can enjoy the scenery of nature in each season.
Run at a slow speed for about 40 minutes.
The Tokotoko train will be operated by turning back at the Kakutsukyo Onsen station, but if it is a good idea, I would like you to utilize the 10km to Muikaichi, where the construction is completed.
This concludes the introduction of the Tokotoko train.
Please subscribe to the channel, which is encouraging.
