The much-loved seasonal Stove Train runs through snowy Tsugaru every winter. Each carriage is heated by a traditional daruma-style coal stove, creating a warm, nostalgic atmosphere as passengers watch drifting snowstorms sweep past the windows.

The Stove Train first began operating in 1930, and the trains currently in service use the fourth-generation passenger cars. The service runs three round trips per day. Dried squid (surume) is grilled on top of the stove, and the carriages become a lively space where travelers and locals naturally strike up conversations.

Operating season: December to March of the following year (tentative)

※To ride the Stove Train, you need both a regular train ticket and a Stove Train supplemental ticket.
