It is a 26.8 km operating line from Ohara Station to Kazusa-Nakano Station. The scenery from the Isumi Railway’s cars is beautiful and relaxing, like ‘Typical Satoyama (village-vicinity mountain).’ I could see pheasants in the fields. Together with one seen along the Kominato Railway, we saw five national birds in one day. The pheasant is Japan’s national bird, as selected by the Ornithological Society of Japan. The pheasant, whose male has beautiful peacock-like tail feathers, was also the symbol of the former Isumi Town (now Isumi City merged with Ohara Town and Misaki Town). 2: Ruins of Otaki Castle On the Isumi Railway, the train slowed down near the ruins of Otaki Castle with an announcement on the train so that I could take a photograph of Otaki Castle. This kind of service is unique to local railways. In modern times, Otaki Castle was builtread moreTwo local trains in Chiba Prefecture (Isumi Railway)

Two local trains in Chiba Prefecture (Kominato Railway) Table of Contents 1: Introduction 2: Chiba Urban Monorail 3: Board the Kominato Railway at Goi Station 4: Itabu Station 5: Boso Satoyama Trolley Train 1: Introduction I wanted to rediscover the charms of Japan through local railways. I took a day trip from Tokyo to two local railways in the Boso Peninsula, Chiba Prefecture, in mid-April. In conclusion, the Kominato Railway and the Isumi Railway I boarded are attractive local railways. I could have a very satisfying trip, whether a day trip or an overnight stay. You can traverse the Boso Peninsula by boarding the Kominato Railway from Goi Station in Chiba Prefecture and transferring to the Isumi Railway at Kazusa-Nakano Station (of course, the reverse route is also possible). A Trans-Boso Peninsula Commemorative Ticket allows you to board both railways and is available for 2,000 yen. I went from Tokyo Station to Chiba Station and from Chiba Station to Goi Station. Using the Sobu Line rapid train without stopping at Chiba Station, the journey from Tokyo Station to Goi Station takes about one hour. 2: Chiba Urban Monorail I got off at Chiba Station because I wanted toread moreTwo local trains in Chiba Prefecture (Kominato Railway)
