The Ōigawa Railway
The Ōigawa Railway is renowned for its stunning steam trains - still-functioning icons from a bygone era.
In Shizuoka prefecture - home to Mt Fuji - you will find the
beautiful little valley town of Kawane Honcho, surrounded by the greenest tea
fields you ever laid eyes on. Winding through the town is the broad Oi River,
and up both sides of the valley, there is thick forest. Throughout all of this
beauty runs the Oigawa Railway.
The Oigawa Railway is renowned for its stunning steam trains
- still-functioning icons from a bygone era. Twice a day, passengers can enjoy
a ride on the steam locomotives that rumble across the region looking like
something straight out of a nineteenth-century novel, with great plumes of
smoke billowing behind. This is a great opportunity to partake in a spectacle
swiftly disappearing from the modern world, as these remnants of a bygone era
ferry passengers through lush forest and on enormous stilted bridges over
sparkling rivers.
