Japan's diesel hybrid trains use the very latest lithium-ion batteries. Compared to conventional diesel railcars, diesel hybrid trains reduce fuel consumption, carbon emissions and noise pollution. Join us for a ride on the eco-friendly "Resort View Furusato" as it winds its way through the beautiful Japanese Alps. Then meet the volunteer group that maintains its own line on a farm, experience changing a sleeper and see their museum condition narrow-gauge steam engine in action.
