🚞📸One of the last things we were able to do before it got too cold was taking a ride through the countryside…. on a train with no windows.🛤🌄
Going through the rural countryside, we passed through places we have never visited and seen it from a perspective we could never have imagined. We went through dark long tunnels, switchbacked (railway zig zag) over hills, had freshly grilled yakitori from a station, viewed the beautiful mountainside, passed under autumn trees and even got to see the famous “Orochi loop” from above. We brought our own bentos to eat on the train and we had a blast of a day. Definitely, something to suggest if you want to see the countryside without having to drive.
Also if you go in November we suggest wearing some warm clothes because it does tend to get windy without windows.🧣
The “Torokko Ressha” or “Okuizumo Orochi-go” runs from April to November during the year and goes from JR Kisuki Station in Unnan, Shimane to Bingo-Ochiai station in Hiroshima. You can go one way and from different stations, but we went the whole way from JR Kisuki Station to Bingo-Ochiai Station and back.
