SL Fuyuno Shitsugen: Riding the Rails in Rustic Style

Step back in time and board the SL Fuyuno Shitsugen, a steam locomotive, and enjoy the sights of billowing smoke and sounds of the train’s whistle as you barrel through the snow-covered Kushiro Marsh. Grab the one round-trip ride offered daily between JR Kushiro Station and JR Shibecha Station and marvel at the unique views of the Kushiro Marsh in Winter. Over the course of your hour and a half journey, with keen eyes and a bit of luck, you might spot the distinctive red and black plumage of a Japanese crane as it contrasts strikingly against the Wintery landscape. Add this experience to your Kushiro Winter itinerary to make your time there even more magical.
