Watarase Keikoku Railway

"This JR East Japan Ashio Line railroad was changed to Watarase Keikoku Railway in 1989. This trolley train has become famous thanks to being picked up by the media and its abbreviated name, ""Watetsu”. There are two types of trolley trains, Trolley Watarase Keikoku Go, and Trolley Wasshii Go. There is the ordinary type, and the open type, which has no window panes. The trolley trains allow customers to enjoy the ever-changing seasonal landscapes and refreshing wind of Watarase Keikoku (gorge). The trains do not run every day, so please be sure to check the website for operating schedules."
