Raise your hands if you're a fan of Thomas & Friends? Of course, we all are. Most of us have grown up watching the fun animated TV series. To be honest, at some point, we also desired to hop on a fun-filled trip with Thomas. Didn't we? Well, we're happy to announce that you can ride on a Thomas-themed train in Japan. In a clip shared by the Instagram page @debosdiary, we get a glimpse of the locomotive, which is designed to look like the main character from the long-running children's show, Thomas and Friends. The inside of the train is also designed with the theme in mind. Once aboard the train, you can buy exclusive souvenirs from the snack cart and munch on Thomas-themed bento boxes.
In the caption, the vlogger mentioned that the Thomas-themed train is operated by the Oigawa Railway in Shizuoka Prefecture. It runs between Shin-Kanaya Station and Kawaneonsen-Sasamado Station, providing a nostalgic journey through picturesque landscapes. The one-way ticket for the locomotive starts at 3,000 yen. The vlogger added that the best times to visit this tourist attraction are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November), as they offer pleasant weather and vibrant seasonal scenery.
