A must-have! Winter limited steam train🚂only runs for two months a year

Take the SL Fuyushigen train from Kushiro Station.
It is a very popular check-in item when traveling to Kushiro in winter.
It only runs irregularly for a period of time every year in winter.
Specific operating times can be found on the official website.
The SL Shigenhao is a rare steam retro train in existence.
It is quite popular among railway fans.
The train shuttles through the snow-covered wetlands,
It gives people a dreamlike feeling of returning to the Taisho era.

Be sure to make a reservation on eki-net in advance when taking the SL Shigena Line!
You can check the SL Shigen number by entering the date and time period of Kushiro and Pyocha.
All cars have reserved seats.
If you have a JR PASS,
Just buy the designated seat tickets directly.
If not, you must buy a bus ticket + a reserved seat ticket.
The preferred seats are seats D in cars 1 and 5.
They are all bar seats on the river side.
The second is the odd-numbered seats A and D of cars No. 3 and 4.
They all have window seats on the Sichuan side with better views.
However, after actual testing,
The scenery on both sides has its own beauty.
When passing through the wetlands on the river side, you will see a large river.
There is no need to worry about whether it is on the Sichuan side.

Each carriage of the train has a charcoal-burning stove.
Simple self-service barbecue is also one of the special features of the train.
You can grill squid, sweet potatoes or rice balls here.
You can also share baked food with others,
Meet new friends,
It is a rare and simple and warm railway journey.

Shigenhao actually focuses on photographing cars.
So I strongly recommend taking the trip back to Kushiro from Chacha.
In the morning, we went to various shooting spots to take pictures of trains.
Because the standard tea does not have a U-turn,
On the return trip, the front of the car is in the opposite direction.
Very ugly,
Like my obsession to sit on the side of the river,
I chose the journey from Kushiro to Biaocha.
I can only take pictures of such an ugly car front.
