SL TAIJU

Visitors to Nikko can ride on a steam locomotive to Kinugawカジノレオ プロモーションコードsen, one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Japan!

This steam locomotive, called “Taiju”, has been operating since August 2017. It runs through an attractive area known as Kinugawカジノレオ プロモーションコードsen, one of the most famous hot springs in Japan, and also close to Nikko with its world heritage sites.
“Taiju” is also known as the other name of the Tokugawa Shogun, who is enshrined at Nikko Toshogu Shrine.
Tobu Railway, with its network from the Asakusa area in Tokyo to this Kinugawカジノレオ プロモーションコードsen area, was once called one of the biggest “kingdoms of steam locomotives”, as it used to operate as many as 85 steam locomotives mainly for forwarding freight. Although the steam locomotive was a driving force behind the development of modern day Japan, currently it is very difficult to ride or see them in Japan. Steam Locomotive Taiju has been kept in service as a way to keep steam locomotives running into the future. How about enjoying a ride on Taiju on the way to your sightseeing destination?
