Maruseppu Forest Park Ikoi-no-Mori
Ride Japan’s Only Original Steam Locomotive Through the Woods of Engaru
Experience the "Amemiya 21," a living piece of Hokkaido Heritage. Feel the power and nostalgia of a steam engine that still breathes life into the woods today.
Located about 9km from central Maruseppu, this lush park is home to the Amemiya 21, a legendary steam locomotive built in 1928. Once a vital part of the logging industry, this majestic machine was saved from retirement by dedicated locals. Today, it remains Japan’s only locomotive of its kind still operating on its original tracks. As it travels the park’s figure-eight course, the billowing white steam, the scent of coal, and the echoes of its whistle transport you back to a bygone era.
The expansive grounds offer more than just history. Families can enjoy go-karts and "fluffy dome" trampolines, while the auto-campground is perfect for nature lovers. With an onsite history museum and a year-round Insect Museum, there are endless ways to satisfy your curiosity. Surrounded by the gentle murmur of rivers and trees, Maruseppu Forest Park is a unique destination where historical legacy and natural beauty meet.
