🚂 Winter only! Stovetop train × freshly grilled squid × Aomori snow scene – a journey through time on the Tsugaru Railway

Today, I came to the Tsugaru Railway in Aomori Prefecture, the northernmost private railway in Japan. This time, I took the winter-only dream train that only runs from December 1 to March 31 every year: the Stove Train! As soon as I stepped into the carriage, the most eye-catching thing was the red stove in the middle. The whole carriage was warm and formed a sharp contrast with the snow outside the window. The retro carriage, the circular fluorescent lights, the white cracked floor, and the steaming stove, everything made people feel like they had traveled through the Showa era in an instant. 🚉 After the departure, the conductor will come to check the tickets, and then the attendant will come over with a cart to sell hot grilled squid, Aomori apple juice and other snacks. I ordered a squid (500 yen) and a bottle of apple juice without hesitation. The attendant will put the squid directly on the fire to grill, and the whole carriage will be filled with fragrance while grilling, which really makes people drool! 🦑 The squid is salty and chewy after grilling, which is absolutely a great item for drinking! Although I couldn't drink alcohol that day because of work, I could only drink apple juice (which is actually super good), but I sincerely recommend that you must drink beer or Japanese sake next time, it will be more enjoyable! The train swayed along the way through the silver-white world, looking at the quiet snow scene outside the window, and the words written by Dazai Osamu emerged in my mind. This land that gave birth to him seems to have slowly soothed my always anxious heart in urban life. 📍 Information summary: Boarding location: Tsugaru Goshogawara Station (39 Omachi, Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture) Operation period of the stove train: December 1 to March 31 every year Fee: Basic fare + stove surcharge 400 yen Recommended items: Freshly grilled squid 🦑, Aomori apple juice 🍎, snow view window ❄️ If you also want to experience the double touch of stove train × snow country scenery × appetite and healing in Japan in winter, then you must not miss this Tsugaru Railway stove train.
