A self-run cart with an engine for sightseeing runs on the railway which became the abolished line by a typhoon damage.
Though it is not a long railway, it runs about 30 minutes,
its peak is to see a 352.5 meters long and 105 meters high Takachiho Bridge.
It is really a wonderful view. It is fun that visitors may experience different feeling from the amusement park.
Yet, when the weather is bad, it is impossible to pass the bridge.
No reservation is necessary. Take a train at the previous Takachiho Station.
The service time varies according to seasons, but there is one every 40 minutes in the opening seasons.
