SL Winter Wetland Train
January to March limited service, steam locomotive running through snowy Kushiro Wetland with dancing red-crowned cranes
A special train running on the JR Senmo Main Line between Kushiro Station and Shibecha Station for a limited period from January to March, powerfully traversing the snowy white Kushiro Wetland.
The interior features varnished heavy walls and wooden-framed seats, a space committed to authentic retro styling. Sitting on seats where you can feel the glossy shine of varnish and the warmth of wood, the characteristic whistle of the steam locomotive resounds. The smell of burning coal and the warmth of steam filling the interior evoke the travel sentiment of the Showa era.
From the windows overlooking the grand panorama of Kushiro Wetland, you can sometimes see the graceful figures of red-crowned cranes dancing in the snowy fields and herds of Ezo deer. The scenery woven by the white earth of the frozen wetland and the nature where wild animals breathe is a spectacular view unique to Hokkaido winter. All seats are reserved, and railway fans and tourists visit from all over Japan every year. When using the SL round trip, you can use the Kushiro Station Park & Train parking lot for 500 yen per day.
