Riding Japan’s Cutest Nostalgic Trains 🚂

Описание: A ride on the Wakasa Railway in Tottori Prefecture truly feels like stepping back in time ⏳. Opened in 1930, this charming local line has survived decades thanks to the passion of the local community 🚂.
We cruised past unspoiled countryside aboard the cutest retro train cars, the green Wakasa Train 🌳 and the red Yazu Train 🍁, both inspired by the region’s captivating natural scenery. Along the way, we stopped at quaint stations like Hayabusa Station, a holy site for bike riders 🏍️, where the summer breeze carried the soft tinkling of wind chimes and rice fields stretched toward the mountains.
Our journey ended at Wakasa Station, a beautifully preserved wooden building with an old-fashioned waiting room, a turntable, and an original locomotive ⚙️. We couldn’t resist a cozy pause at Wakasa Cafe Retro ☕, located within the station, savoring the nostalgia of the moment while watching trains roll by.
