Kushiro Shitsugen Norokko Train
Experience the Charm of Kushiro Wetlands on a Leisurely Sightseeing Train
The sightseeing train "Norokko-go," which leisurely travels through the Kushiro Wetlands, operates between Kushiro Station and Toro Station (about 40-50 minutes). From the train windows, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the wetlands, the meandering Kushiro River, the Iwabokki Water Gate, and, if you're lucky, you might even spot some wildlife. The train makes stops at Kushiro Shitsugen Station, Hosooka Station, and other locations, allowing you to traverse the great outdoors at a relaxed pace. The train slows down at notable spots, and onboard announcements provide guided commentary, allowing you to fully appreciate the charm of the wetlands.
