Retro brick tunnels among the lush greenery of spring

The red-brick Aigi Railway tunnels were opened in 1900 along the Shonai River valley and appear today just as they did back then. Enjoy the now abandoned tunnels' beauty in the spring with the vibrant greens of new Japanese maple leaves and other surrounding nature. The JNR Class C57 steam locomotive wheel you can move with bike pedals and Tarzan swing are of particular interest. Bouldering for the little ones is also available!
