Description

The main dining space integrates rolling stock from the former Yabakei Railway, incorporating Showa-era diesel cars alongside historic timber carriages. The kitchen serves regional dishes like local karaage, pike conger, and Yabakei softshell turtle hot pot alongside Taisho-era Western fare. Inside the cars, details include an illuminated floor window showing the engine below. For overnight stays, private single-carriage annexes offer compact rooms fitted with tatami floors and futons.
