Kushiro Shitsugen Norokko Train
Admire Rare Flora and Fauna While Riding the Rails
The sightseeing train “Norokko-go” runs leisurely through Kushiro Marshland between Kushiro Station and Tangro Station (about 40 to 50 minutes). From the train windows, you can enjoy not only the magnificent scenery of the marshland, but also the meandering Kushiro River, the Iwaibogi Water Gate, and if you are lucky, you can see wild animals. The train traverses through the nature slowly, stopping at Kushiro Marshland Station, Hosooka Station, and other stations. The train may slow down at some of the most scenic spots, and on-board announcements will guide passengers through the marshlands, allowing them to fully enjoy the attractions of the marshlands.
