The picture-book-like "Thomas the Tank Engine" runs between Shin-Kanaya and Kawane Onsen Sasamado. On operating days, you can meet characters at the Thomas Fair venue, which is popular with families. The train uses old-style passenger cars, and the clear waters of the Oi River, tea fields, and rural landscapes spread out from the windows, inviting a nostalgic travel experience.
In addition, between Senzu Station and Okuizumi Station, there is the Ikawa Line, which has Japan's only Abt system section, where you can experience the rare experience of climbing a steep gradient with a locomotive and rack rail. There are also "hidden stations" scattered around, such as Okuoikojo Station, which is recommended not only for railway fans but also for tourists who want to take a walk in nature.
SL express "Minami-Alps/Kawane-ji" express fare: 1,500 yen for adults/750 yen for children (separate ticket required)
Reserved seat on Thomas (round trip/fair admission included): 6,000 yen for adults/3,000 yen for children
