Their itinerary was:

Nishi Maizuru Station – Amanohashidate
Amanohashidate sightseeing

Day 2 :

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.

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
or us .
