Location information

Name: The Chokai Sanroku Line of the Yuri Kogen Railway

Address: Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture

Description: This charming rural railway meanders at a leisurely pace through peaceful pastoral scenery.

Running 23 kilometers from Ugo‑Honjo Station toward Mount Chokai to Yashima Station, it is affectionately known as the “Obako‑go.” Its cute, slow‑moving trains, the majestic silhouette of Mount Chokai, the tranquil countryside vistas, and the nostalgic atmosphere of diesel railcars all embody what locals proudly call a true “treasure of the region.”

A highlight is the Chokai Toy Train Nakayoshi Koyoshi, the first train in eastern Japan to feature a wooden interior.
