Kitakyushu Retro Line Shiokaze-go train

Kitakyushu Retro Line Shiokaze-go train

One of Japan's smallest sightseeing tram trains, from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Port of Moji

See, Play, Experience Mojiko Area

This sightseeing tram train runs 2.1 kilometers from Kyushu Tetsudo Kinenkan (Kyushu Railway History Museum) Station near JR Mojiko Station to Kanmon-kaikyo Mekari Station.

The blue-colored train, with a small diesel engine between two passenger tram cars, looks brilliant against the background of the scenic beauty of Mojiko.

This train, running 15 kilometers per hour at maximum, is the slowest train on the shortest track in Japan. The train is attractive because of its low speed, which enables you to enjoy the landscapes of the Kanmon Strait leisurely.

In the tunnel before the terminal, a wonderful attraction awaits you.

A one-day pass with unlimited stopover privileges allows you to ride the train as many times a day as you like.
