Sanriku Railway|Gallery train operation to enjoy the superb scenery of the four seasons along the line with train windows and illustrations
The Sanriku Railway in Iwate Prefecture will post 60 illustrations of train window scenery from October 1 (Friday) ~ 31 (Sunday) "Superb view! Santetsu Car Window Gallery Train" will be operated by the Sanriku Railway. A collaboration project between Santetsu and the Japan Advertising Production Association (OAC).
The illustrations to be displayed on the gallery train are 60 works that OAC solicited from professionals and amateurs nationwide. Passengers will be able to appreciate the beautiful seasonal scenery of the Sanriku coast in both the actual and illustrated train windows.
A departure ceremony will be held on Friday, October 1 at 12:30~13:00 at the Sanriku Railway "Miyako Station" platform. Ribbon cutting and headmarks will be shown. After the ceremony, the train is scheduled to depart from Miyako Station at 13:05, turn around at Iwate Funakoshi Station, and return to Miyako Station at 15:20.
To commemorate the operation of the Gala Train, we have created a "Santetsu Calendar 2022" using 13 of the 60 works on display. From 10/1 (Friday), it will be on sale for 1,500 yen at the souvenir shop "Santetsuya" at Miyako Station and the Santetsu online shop. Travel information along the Santetsu line, such as superb view points recommended by Santetsu staff, gourmet information, and illustrated maps, is also posted.
