Japan maple viewing guide | Eizan Railway Maple Leaf Tunnel.

From Rurikoin to Kibune, you need to get off at Takaraike Station and change to the train bound for Kibune. There is a famous maple leaf tunnel between Ichihara Station and Ninose Station heading towards Kibune. Eizan Electric Railway also serves this maple leaf. The tunnel specially added a Maple Leaf Tunnel Observation Train.

This is an ordinary carriage.

This is the legendary observation car with extremely large windows.

Because I read the travel notes in advance, I knew that the Maple Leaf Tunnel would actually look better when standing at the front or rear of the car. As soon as I got on the car, I occupied the position of the rear glass, and it didn’t matter what car it was in.

It was getting dark and the light was not very good and backlit. There were not as many maple leaves in the Maple Leaf Tunnel as expected, and almost half of them had fallen. It was a bit dim overall, which was a pity. T T
I only took videos but not photos. It was just the beginning. The denser section is very beautiful. You can see from the back that some trees have fallen out. At about 29 seconds, the lights happened to turn on, and everyone in the car instantly screamed WOW.

I specially posted a few screenshots. The first part is very beautiful!

The moment you light up the lights, you have a completely different feeling, much brighter!

When we arrived at Kifuneguchi Station, there was also a large maple leaf on the platform.

Then we went to Kifune Shrine, see the next article.

On the return trip, my feet hurt so much that I couldn't stand, so I didn't stand at the front or rear of the train. I sat at the starting station and then got on the train again to take my seat. I happened to encounter this observation train with a particularly large window.

When we arrived at Kifuneguchi Station, the whole carriage was instantly filled with people, and we could see the maple leaves of Kibuneguchi Station right out of the window.

Because I was sitting, I could only take pictures of the night maple outside the window on my side, so it didn’t look like a tunnel. When you get near the Maple Leaf Tunnel, you will turn off the lights in the carriage, slow down and drive slowly. The maple leaves with lights are more vivid than when I came here in the afternoon. I believe it will be very beautiful when viewed from the front and rear of the car. Just looking at the single-sided glass is a bit like showing a movie without the feeling of a tunnel. I have the strength to stand. People must try to stand at the front or rear of the car!
I only took a video, and you can hear countless Si Guoyi and Kilei in the background.
