Kushiro Wetland Winter SL Wetland Train

The SL Winter Wetland Train, operated exclusively during winter months, is a special train featuring a C11 type steam locomotive running through the snow-covered Kushiro Wetland. From the train windows, you may encounter wild animals such as Red-crowned cranes and Sika deer. The passenger cars are equipped with Daruma stoves, creating a perfectly retro atmosphere where the aroma of coal-grilled dried squid fills the air. The sight of the steam locomotive running with snow smoke is deeply moving—not just for railway enthusiasts, but for everyone.
