Moji Port, the gateway to Kyushu. The “Shiokaze” tourist trolley train, which slowly travels through the nostalgic cityscape, has a special charm during the autumn leaves season. The vivid red and yellow scenery spreading out through the train windows is like a painting.
Highlights
Autumn Leaves Viewed from Japan’s Slowest Trolley Train: Because it is “Japan’s slowest” trolley train with a speed of 15km per hour, you can enjoy the autumn leaves slowly. The scenery viewed from the large windows is like a scene from a movie.
Enjoy Autumn Leaves While Strolling: The railway line is about 2km long, which is just the right distance for a stroll. While walking through the retro townscape, find your own autumn leaves spots.
