About this event
This is information for the 2026 staging of the "Santa Train," an annual winter event that Hojo Railway has held every year since 1989 (Heisei 1), marking its 37th edition. The round trip between Hojomachi Station and Ao Station takes about 50 minutes aboard a specially decorated Christmas-themed train car. Inside the train, students dressed as Santa Claus and reindeer liven up the Christmas entertainment, and at the end, each passenger receives a gift filled with sweets from Santa. It is an ideal event for a Christmas outing with small children. All departures require advance reservations, limited to 60 passengers per departure.
