SL Fuyu-no-Shitsugen Train

A Beloved Winter Icon Steaming Through Kushiro Marsh

Operating only from January to March, the SL Fuyu-no-Shitsugen Train is a steam locomotive that runs powerfully through the snow-covered landscapes of Kushiro Marsh—a true winter tradition in eastern Hokkaido. This special seasonal train travels along the JR Senmo Main Line between Kushiro Station and Shibecha Station, offering a nostalgic journey that’s filled with retro charm.

Inside the train, you'll find polished varnished walls, wooden-framed seats, and classic interior design—all meticulously crafted to evoke the authentic atmosphere of the past. It’s not just a ride, but a step back in time.

As the train glides through the vast panorama of Kushiro Marsh, passengers can often catch glimpses of iconic winter wildlife such as red-crowned cranes dancing on the snow and Ezo deer roaming the fields. This atmospheric steam train draws railway enthusiasts and travelers from across Japan every winter.
