Ai Yoshinogawa Trolley

#Domestic Transportation I rode on the "Ai Yoshinogawa Trolley," a tourist train that lets you enjoy Tokushima's nature! It was a valuable experience to enjoy the spectacular scenery along the Yoshino River on the trolley train that runs on the Tokushima Line. 🚂Characteristics and atmosphere of the train As the name suggests, the train is designed with an image of indigo dyeing, giving it a Tokushima feel. As it is a trolley train, there are no windows, so the appeal is that you can enjoy the train journey while feeling the refreshing breeze! The weather was good that day, and the pleasant breeze blew through, which was very pleasant. 🚂View from the train window The Yoshino River flows along the line, and just watching the sparkling water is soothing. In particular, although it is not as rugged as Oboke and Koboke, it is characterized by the gentle beauty of the valley. There are attractive views in every season, with cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and clear air in winter. 🚂Special features and services The train will slow down at the sights along the way, making it perfect for taking photos! The guide will also explain the history and sights along the route, making you feel even more like a tourist. These features are a great way to experience the local culture. 🚂Access information The Ai Yoshinogawa Trolley operates for a limited time and all seats are reserved, so advance reservations are required.
