The SL Ginga is a steam locomotive train decorated to bring to life Kenji Miyazawa's novel "Night on the Galactic Railroad”. The train was restored from the C58 239 SL train, in order to revitalise the disaster-stricken Iwate region after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. With a retro interior, gallery, and planetarium, it is sure to be a fun ride for all!
