Train was already full at 5:45. (Image credit: JR East / Carissa Loh) On my first day in Aizu-Wakamatsu, I took the Oku-Aizu Burari Tabi Bus to explore some scenic photo spots along the line, but on my second day, I finally got to ride the train! I had heard that since its reopening, many domestic tourists were flocking to support the line and visi...
Weather clearing up as the sun rose. (Image credit: JR East / Carissa Loh) There are only three trains per day that run the entire route from Aizu-Wakamatsu Station to Tadami Station, and the first one departed at 6:08. It was an unexpectedly foggy day, and when we departed, the view was eerily obstructed in white. Fortunately, as the sun rose, so ...
Steam locomotive train at Aizu-Yanaizu Station as seen from riding the train. (Image credit: JR East / Carissa Loh) At around 7:04, the train passed Aizu-Yanaizu Station (柳津駅 Aizu-Yanaizu-eki). Something special about Aizu-Yanaizu Station is that there is an old steam locomotive (SL) train, C11 244, exhibited by the station, which I got a glimpse o...
Aizu-Miyashita Station. (Image credit: JR East / Carissa Loh) One of the longer stops that the train made was at Aizu-Miyashita Station (会津宮下駅 Aizu-Miyashita-eki), where it stopped for about 10 minutes to wait for a passing train. The Tadami Line is mostly a single track, so trains need to wait at stations for each other to pass, in order not to co...
Long stop at Tadami Station. (Image credit: JR East / Carissa Loh) The final long stop was at Tadami Station at 9:07, a station that shares a name with the line itself. The train would stop here for about 30 minutes, so all passengers were encouraged to get off and have a look. By this time, the skies had turned blue, and the weather was beautiful....
Autumn colours around О̄shirakawa Station. (Image credit: JR East / Carissa Loh) At around 9:58, the train reached О̄shirakawa Station, the first station on the Niigata side of the Tadami Line. Around this area, the autumn colours were vivid and gorgeous, especially with the red car tunnel in the distance. Vast rice fields on the Niigata side of th...
Koide Station at last. (Image credit: JR East / Carissa Loh) Finally, at 10:41, after over 4.5hours of standing, the train pulled up into Koide Station, the Niigata terminus of the Tadami Line. There are 36 stations on the Tadami Line, but the ride honestly didn’t really feel that long due to the multiple stops and the amazing views. I was lucky to...
Welcome back, Tadami Line. (Image credit: JR East / Carissa Loh) After 11 long years, the entire Tadami Line is finally reconnected. In Japanese, the words for reopening (再開 saikai) and reunion (再会 saikai) have the same pronunciation. Indeed, the reopening of the line will lead to reunions. It was very heartening to see strong support from local to...
Aizu-Wakamatsu Station and Koide Station. (Image credit: JR East / Carissa Loh) The Tadami Line runs between Aizu-Wakamatsu Station in Fukushima Prefecture and Koide Station in Niigata Prefecture. There are only three trains in each direction per day that run the entire line; although there are a few more trains that run shorter routes of Aizu-Waka...
