Rise & Shine: The Tadami Line
The Tadami Line is a train line that runs from Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima to Koide, Niigata. This train line is famous for its breathtaking natural views. A ride on it offers spectacular mountain and river views.
In July 2011, the track was knocked out of service. Torrential rains caused flooding that all but washed away some of its iconic bridges. Now, after 11 years, the Tadami line has reopened in full as of October 1st, 2022! Many local residents and train enthusiasts celebrated its return.
The train line gets its name from Tadami, a town located in the Aizu region of Fukushima prefecture. It also includes the “natural capital” of Japan. The first town in Tohoku to be certified by the UNESCO Eco Park, it’s a place rich in nature where people co-exist with the natural world.
So why not celebrate the return of the Tadami line yourself? Visit the beautiful town, and book a romantic trip on a train line that offers some spectacular scenery!
