As the name suggests, the train features three types of seating: traditional tatami rooms, open-air torocco seats, and observation seats with panoramic views. This allows each traveler to enjoy the journey in their preferred style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally part of the local transport supporting Aizu residents, the train has now become a popular sightseeing line, attracting railway enthusiasts and travelers from across Japan. It\u2019s truly a \u201crolling showcase of Aizu\u2019s charm,\u201d where passengers can experience both the area\u2019s natural beauty and its warm local hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-btn\"><a class=\"btn-brand\" href=\"https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/r-journal\/aizu-report-nishikiya-ozatoro\/\">Read our experience at \u201dOza-Toro Scenic Train\u201d<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-vk-image-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ryokan-book.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC08353-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1012\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-liquid-speech-balloon liquid-speech-balloon-wrap liquid-speech-balloon-00\"><div class=\"liquid-speech-balloon-avatar\"><\/div><div class=\"liquid-speech-balloon-text\"><p>&nbsp;It connects Aizu-Wakamatsu Station with Aizu-Tajima Station, offering passengers a relaxing ride while enjoying the region\u2019s rich natural scenery and historic towns.<\/p><div class=\"liquid-speech-balloon-arrow\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enjoy-aizus-scenic-beauty-from-the-open-air-torocco-seats\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enjoy_Aizus_Scenic_Beauty_from_the_Open-Air_Torocco_Seats\"><\/span><strong>Enjoy Aizu\u2019s Scenic Beauty from the Open-Air Torocco Seats<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC02804-1024x683-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC02804-1024x683-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC02804-1024x683-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC02804-1024x683-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC02804-1024x683-1-1x1.webp 1w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest appeal of the Oza-Toro Sightseeing Train is its open-air torocco seats. From late April to early November, the windows are removed, allowing passengers to feel the refreshing breeze while taking in the stunning views of valleys and rural landscapes up close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the route, the scenery changes with the seasons. In spring, cherry blossoms line the rivers, while the lush greenery of early summer brings the countryside to life. In autumn, vibrant fall colors fill the train windows, attracting travelers with cameras eager to capture the beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unique spots can be found at some of the stations along the way. For example, Yunokami Onsen Station is one of the few stations in Japan with a thatched roof and a nostalgic waiting room with a traditional irori hearth. A foot bath is also available, making it a perfect place to relax while waiting for the train.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"spot-middle-banner-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"

Take your time and enjoy Aizu\u2019s natural beauty and local culture by stopping at interesting points along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A highlight is getting off at To-no-Hetsuri Station for a walk. The natural rock formations of To-no-Hetsuri, created over a million years ago, are designated as a National Natural Monument. Crossing the suspension bridge and seeing the cliffs up close is awe-inspiring. The site is just a 5-minute walk from the station, making it very accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-vk-image-photoFrame-tilt-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1026\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ryokan-book.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC08253-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1026\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-vk-image-photoFrame-tilt-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1027\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ryokan-book.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC08409-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1027\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Yunokami Onsen Station, you can also take the Saruyu-go bus to visit the Edo-period post town of Ouchi-juku. Walking along streets lined with thatched-roof houses feels like stepping back in time. You can enjoy local flavors such as hand-made soba noodles, local sake, and the traditional dish shingoro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fully appreciate the ever-changing scenery along the route, it\u2019s best to take a morning train. In autumn, the torocco train moving slowly through morning mist creates a magical atmosphere. In spring and summer, traveling during daylight lets you enjoy the green forests and sparkling rivers along the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Tokyo, it takes about 3.5 hours from Tobu Asakusa Station to Aizu-Tajima Station, making it easy to enjoy a relaxed and scenic train journey from the city.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-btn\"><a class=\"btn-black\" href=\"https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/r-journal\/aizu-report-2n3d-route-omotenashi\/\">Check out the recommended model course<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"spot-information\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spot_Information\"><\/span><strong>Spot Information<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spot Name\uff1aOzatoro- Railway Ozatoro Scenic Train (Aizu Railway)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Train route section\uff1aJRAizu-Wakamatsu Station\u301cAizu Railway AizuTajima Station<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operating Period\uff1aLate April to early November (not in winter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Number of services\uff1a2 trains per day (operates on designated dates)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fee\uff1aRegular fare for the travel section + 400 JPY for the Torocco reserved seat (adult)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seat Type\uff1aObservation seat \/ Tatami-style seat \/ Torocco seat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"access\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access\"><\/span>Access<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boardable from JR Aizu-Wakamatsu Station or Aizu-Tajima Station<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3165.0022250332704!2d139.92775117587104!3d37.507865672053825!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x5ff5534dc30fef17%3A0xac9765617b30fd16!2z5Lya5rSl6Iul5p2-6aeF!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1761730401470!5m2!1sja!2sjp\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>JR Aizu-Wakamatsu Station: 1-1 Ekimae-machi, Aizu-Wakamatsu City, Fukushima 965-0041, Japan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3177.8710037047535!2d139.7718712108313!3d37.20329324475855!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x601fef4b6ad194ed%3A0x7c66261cd6fc1c5e!2z5Lya5rSl55Sw5bO26aeF!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1761730470632!5m2!1sja!2sjp\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Aizu-Tajima Station: Tajima Nishibanba Ko, Minamiaizu Town, Minamiaizu District, Fukushima 967-0004, Japan<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"pickup-ryokan-banner\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC00292-scaled-1.webp);\">\n        <div class=\"pickup-ryokan-wrapper\">\n            <div class=\"pickup-ryokan-banner-header\">\n                <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recommended_Nearby_Ryokans\"><\/span>Recommended Nearby Ryokans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"pickup-ryokan-info\">\n                <div class=\"pickup-ryokan-titleset\">\n                    <h3 class=\"pickup-ryokan-name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Onsen_Minshuku_Nishikiya\"><\/span>Onsen Minshuku Nishikiya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n                    <p class=\"pickup-ryokan-description\">\u201cOnsen Minshuku Nishikiya\u201d is a small hot spring inn with only six guest rooms, located in Yunokami Onsen in Shimog\u014d Town, Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture.
