Tadami Line Summer Tour

See the sights of the historic Tadami Line on this special limited-time tour. Including trips by both bus and on the train itself, you’ll have the chance not only to take pictures at the train’s best photo spots, but also experience seeing its sights first-hand from the carriage. Most notably, you’ll visit two of the Oku-Aizu region’s most stunning locales: the spectacular vista over the Tadami River Bridge No.1, and the wooden ferry boat ride through the ethereal river valley of Mugenkyo. Summer is an excellent time to see both, since the region turns a beautiful emerald green that makes for great photos. A trip to the hot spring at Hayato Onsen is offered as an alternative to the ferry boat ride, which has limited seats. It’s advised to book early to avoid disappointment. (If tickets are fully booked but you'd prefer not to use the hot spring, the Mugenkyo area can still be enjoyed from the bank of the river, where there is seating, and beautiful photos of the river can be taken.) The trip includes lunch at the roadside station ‘Hotto’ in Yanaizu, where you’ll choose one of the region’s specialties to try (ramen, udon or katsudon), and you’ll have the chance to sample or buy sake at a traditional store. The tour includes a Japanese-speaking guide. Please be aware that this tour may be subject to change or cancellation in cases of extreme weather or unavoidable circumstances. Thank you for your understanding.
