Regarding the highly acclaimed "SL Yamaguchi", we will hold a special experience tour where you can see the maintenance site, which is normally inaccessible. We have prepared valuable programs such as a tour inside the SL Yamaguchi's garage, whistle operation, and a coal throwing experience using training equipment. This project is exclusive to "tabiwa travel", and we offer both day-trip and overnight plans. It is recommended not only for SL fans but also for making memories with family and friends. We sincerely look forward to your participation.
