Tsugaru Railway
The Tsugaru Railway has been running since 1930, and is Japan’s northernmost private railway. It connects Tsugaru Goshogawara Station to Tsugaru Nakasato Station, a ride of about 45 minutes.
Tsugaru Railway runs all kinds of event trains, but the most well-known is surely the “Stove Train.” Every car in the Stove Train is outfitted with a potbellied stove, creating an old fashioned atmosphere as passengers watch the snowy landscape pass by.
Other trains include the summer Wind chime Train, the autumn Cricket Train, and more.
