Gomen-Nahari Line: Tei's Movable Bridge and the Field Clock, a Seaside Train Journey
An open-deck train running on elevated tracks with a view of the Pacific Ocean, and a movable bridge that lifts an entire road up toward the sky. This is a seaside train journey for vehicle lovers, following the Tosa Kuroshio Railway's Gomen-Nahari Line. Board a train with an observation deck at Gomen Station (後免駅), and Tosa Bay fills the window the whole way. After enjoying a seaside stroll at Ya-Sea Park (ヤ・シィパーク), take your time observing the rare, bascule-style movable bridge at Tei Port (手結港). For lunch, savor local flavors at Jibasan Ichiba (ぢばさん市場), directly connected to Aki Station (安芸駅). Wrap up the day with a town stroll past the Nora Clock (野良時計) and Idokaku-chu (土居廓中). A greedy course that lets you fully enjoy 'mechanisms that move' and 'mechanisms that keep time' - trains, bridges, and a clock tower - all in a single day, tickling the heart of any vehicle enthusiast.
