The Tsugaru Railway runs north-south through the Tsugaru Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture. Starting from Goshogawara station on the Mutsu Railway (now JR Gono Line), the 20.7 km route to Tsugaru-Nakasato was fully opened in November 1930 (1930). In addition to Kanagicho, the birthplace of the novelist Dazai Osamu, and Ashino-koen, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, are located along the line, so the company is focusing on transportation of tourists. In the winter season, the company operates a stove-heating train equipped with a heater in the passenger cabin to attract customers, taking advantage of the cold winter in the Tsugaru region. In this book, we explain the history and present state of the railway, which is unique, together with abundant photographs.
