To celebrate the autumn foliage season, trains will run at reduced speed through the “Maple Tunnel,” located between Ichihara and Ninose stations on the Kurama Line.
In addition to the daytime slow-speed operation, the “Maple Tunnel” area will be beautifully illuminated after sunset, and more “Kirara” panorama trains will run during the evening hours.
