One of highlights of Day 1 is AKAMATSU train ride.
AKAMATSU is one of sightseeing trains of Kyoto Tango Railway, which runs between Nishimaizuru and Amanohashidate.  
AKAMATSU sightseeing train is reservation required. 
URL for reservation is : https://trains.willer.co.jp/matsu/train/  (Japanese only)
Fare is 640 JPY + 540 JPY (reservation fee) = 1,180 JPY  (Feb. 2017)

Climax of AKAMATSU ride is “crossing the iron bridge over Yuragawa river.”
The bridge is located close to the mouth of a river.  

After the bridge, AKAMATSU runs along with the coast line and mountains.


Super enjoyable and relaxing ride lasts about 40-50 min (depends on train schedule).    If you need more information, contact Kyoto Tango Railway
