A Local Railway Where You Can Enjoy the Original Landscape of the Satoyama and New Encounters
A 94.2-kilometer local line that runs through the inland region of Akita Prefecture from Kakunodate to Takano.

The scenery visible from the train window is truly a quintessential Japanese landscape.Please enjoy the “Mountain Resort Train,” where you can experience the “good old days” of Japan.
