Classic railcars at Togura Station
この間のお客さんは面白い理由で戸倉上山田に来た：
しなの鉄道の湘南カラー169系の電車の為。
私は毎日の様にお客さんの送迎で戸倉駅でそのオレンジと緑色の車両を見ていましたが、どれだけ貴重か知りませんでした。1960～80年代にこの色の電車は日本全国に走っていたが、現在はこのカラーが唯一見えるのがここのしなの鉄道だそうです。
戸倉上山田温泉: 温泉らしいお湯、千曲川と周辺の山々の自然、伝統的な温泉宿と工夫したお料理、
そして、湘南色の169系の電車。
来る理由は様々ありますね♪
Recently we had a guest who came to Togura Kamiyamada for an interesting reason:
To see the "Shonan" color scheme Shinano Railway train.
I had seen the orange and green colored cars every time I came to Togura Station to pick up guests, but didn't realize how rare they are. Apparently from the 1960's to the 80's, this color car could be seen all over Japan, but today the only place they exist is here in Nagano, on the Shinano Railway.
So there you have it, come to our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada for the mineral water, for the scenic views of the Chikuma River and the surrounding mountains, for relaxing ryokans and gourmet food ...
... and rare, nostalgic trains!
