Mooka Railway

4.0

This tourist railway operates in Moka City, Tochigi Prefecture. Running mainly on weekends and holidays there are two steam locomotives that run year-round. Due to the cotton production that follows the rail-line it has been given the nickname Cotton-Way. The steam locomotives run from Tochigi's easternmost station, Motegi Station in Motegi Town, Haga County down to Shimodate Station in Chikusei City, Ibaraki Prefecture.

茨城県下館駅と栃木県茂木駅を結ぶ鐵道。週末は下りと上り、各1本SL 現役のC12が走ります。下館二高前駅のすぐ近くのカフェでは目の前をSLが走るのを見ながらお茶ができます。A railroad between Shimodate st. and Motegi st. , Steam Locomotive runs on weekends.
