Good afternoon, everyone!<\/p>\n

The rain from yesterday has let up, but it’s colder than ever now! It seems spring is still teasing us.<\/p>\n

Do you know about the JR Oito Line? The Oito Line runs from Itoigawa Station through the Himekawa Gorge to Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture. The region it runs through receives a great deal of snowfall throughout the winter season. Enough so that it must occasionally be closed to allow for snow removal.<\/p>\n

\"Waiting<\/a><\/p>\n

To make the best out of a bad situation, on Saturday, February 23rd, JR workers will host the “Snow Removal and Snow Play Tour.” \u00a0Adults and children alike are invited to ride the Oito Line from Itoigawa Station to Hiraiwa Station to play in the deep snow…<\/p>\n

\"Playing<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

…and see the snow removal trains in action! (all pictures are from last year’s event)<\/p>\n

\"Snow<\/a><\/p>\n

‘Tonjiru’ pork soup will be served for lunch and after the event participants are invited to bathe in the hot springs at nearby Hotel Kunitomi. It should be a fun day for adults and children alike, so if you’re interested, please stop on by!<\/p>\n
