Tarain travel to Kirishima with "Hayato-no-kaze"

Train travel makes ,feel somehow fresh and excited for me,
Because in Kagoshima, train travel is not so popular than European countries I guess.

Today, we are going to Kirishima in Kagoshima
one of the famouse area for its beautiful nature and hot springs in Japan.  
  


The train we rode is not usual one.
It's name is "Hayato-no-Kaze", black and letro style.
It costs a little bit higher than local train.

 
You need to get two type of tickets.
One is usual ticket, 820 yen and
the other is limited express ticket, 500 yen.
So total: 1,320 yen.

The moment you get on the train,
                   you can see how different to usual ones.
 The interrior is wooden simple style
with large windows.


                                                Enjoy beautiful sceneries from windows.


 Shaved ice with kinds of fruits Shirokuma is sold in the train
as well as chips, beer, soft drinks:)
This ice is Kagoshoma original one,
Try it! Feel summer of Kagoshima!

 About 40 minutes after,
the train arived Kareigawa station.
here is the oldest station in Japan.
It has loooong history,
and interesting is no staff is there.
but the station is clean, and well-kept.
 
 
This station is a kind of sight seeing spot,
so the train stays there for about 10 minutes.
Passengers can get off and see around.
Taking a such phote is available.
Enjoy! but be careful, the train will leave after 10 munitus:)
