Enjoy a leisurely train trip at the foot of Mt. Chokai

Yuri Kogen Railway operates the Chokai Sanroku Line, which is approximately 23km long in Akita Prefecture. The sacred mountain Mt. Chokai is a 2,236m active volcano with a beautiful majestic appearance, and the Obako-go runs along its base, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely train journey while enjoying the scenery of each season. At Maego Station, which is popular among train fans, a rare "tablet exchange" is held where you can watch trains passing each other.
