Tsuwano Night Steam Train Photo Shoot

About this event

This is the annual first event of the new year where visitors can photograph steam locomotive D51 194, displayed in front of Tsuwano Station, enhanced with smoke effects. Event hours are 17:30 to 20:00. The locomotive will feature a red number plate (front only), national flags (cancelled in case of rain), and a headmark display (which may be removed during certain hours). No fee is stated. Widely loved as a winter tradition of Tsuwano, this event allows people to soak in nostalgic atmosphere while photographing the imposing steam engine. In particular, the sight of the illuminated D51 enveloped in billowing smoke as dusk settles is magical, offering participants a special photography experience. While visitors should check information for the specific event year for full details, it is visited annually by many railway fans and photography enthusiasts as an event heralding the arrival of the new year.
