SL Fuyu-no-Shitsugen Train
Hear the nostalgic whistle and the scent of coal
A remarkable winter journey through the home of the Red-crowned Crane.
Running for a limited time from January to March, the SL Fuyu-no-Shitsugen Train travels across the snow-covered landscapes of Kushiro Marsh. This unique winter rail experience invites visitors to step away from everyday life and immerse themselves in the beauty of Hokkaido’s winter wilderness. Operating on the JR Senmo Main Line between Kushiro Station and Shibecha Station, the steam locomotive has become one of Hokkaido’s most beloved winter attractions. Stepping aboard feels like traveling back in time. Inside the carriages, polished wooden interiors and classic seating create a warm and nostalgic atmosphere. As the locomotive’s whistle echoes across the marsh and white steam rises into the cold air carrying the scent of coal, an unforgettable journey begins.
Beyond the windows, endless expanses of white stretch across the landscape. Red-crowned Cranes can often be seen gracefully moving through the snowy marsh, while Ezo deer wander across the winter countryside. This peaceful scene captures the essence of Hokkaido in winter. Inside the fully reserved carriages, traditional coal-burning daruma stoves provide gentle warmth and a uniquely comforting travel experience. Blending sound, scent, scenery, and nostalgia, the SL Fuyu-no-Shitsugen Train offers a winter adventure found nowhere else.
