A short 360° video aboard the Akechi Line train, going from Iwamura back to Ena. It’s only one carriage long, and chugs along at a leisurely pace through the Gifu countryside. The best bit of the journey is watching the train driver (r/OldSchoolCool), and his safety check rituals before departing from each station. =]
If you find yourself going hiking in Kiso Valley/Magome/Tsumago, stay overnight in Iwamura (Yanagiya Guesthouse – the owner, Miyazawa-san will pick you up and drive you to the tiny Akechi station in town =] ) and enjoy this train ride – much better than the Shinkansen!
