Aigi Tunnel - Kasugai

The admission fee is 100 yen and it will be open to the public from the 27th. It seems to be released in spring and autumn. The autumn leaves were beautiful ? Jokoji is basically an unmanned station, so I wonder if there was a ticket vending machine. It was open to the public today, so there was a station employee. It's smooth to go with an IC card. Certainly there is no charging machine. We recommend that you charge at the station where you board. It will take about an hour one way. If you take a picture or walk slowly. There are several toilets. Flimsy shoes hurt as I walk on the stones under the railroad tracks. It is convenient to have a flashlight as it is dark in the last tunnel. At Marche, there were quite a lot of types such as bento boxes, okowa, mitarashi dumplings, and beer. There are quite a few desks and chairs, so everyone sat down and ate. I bought a maple ale containing maple extract. The price was high, but it was delicious. On Saturdays and Sundays, we are showing off various things at the Brick Square. When I saw it, there were people playing the Alps horn and playing the trumpet. The tunnel was quite interesting because it had lights and sounds. Ankyo is like a stepladder, which is used as a staircase, so you can get off it. Be careful when going in and out as your legs are narrow and a little dangerous.

I went today. The autumn leaves are about to end ? There was also a mini concert, and lunch boxes and bread drinks were also available. There are several tunnels. Collaboration with autumn leaves There is nothing to say if there is a blue sky. The scaffolding is in place. However, it may be easy to get tired because the stones are spread and move.

It is a nationally registered cultural property A tunnel on the abandoned line of the former Japanese National Railways Chuo Line. It is open to the public for a limited time in spring and autumn. One of Japan's three major abandoned railway tunnels (Usui Pass tunnels, Hokuriku line tunnels, Aigi tunnels). The car was parked in the free parking lot of Jokoji Park. There are from the first parking lot to the fourth parking lot. There is also a toilet nearby. I think this is the closest parking lot from the Aigi Tunnels. 30 minutes walk to the entrance of the Aigi Tunnels. If you come by car by relying on the navigation system, you can go to Jokoji Station from Prefectural Road 53 via Prefectural Road 205 (the road on the right bank of the river). The road is narrow and it is difficult to pass each other, so it is better not to go through during the event. I really have a hard time. Please set the destination of the navigation to the Jokoji Park parking lot. There is no parking lot near Jokoji Station. You cannot drive beyond Shiromine Bridge. If you don't like walking, we recommend taking the train from the nearest station on the Chuo Line and getting off at Jokoji Station. An unexplored unmanned station on a cliff. Walk from the parking lot, cross the Jomine Bridge, turn right and cross Jokoji Station, you will see Tunnel No. 3 (there is a full-scale steam locomotive curtain). 1.7 km from here to Tunnel No. 6 is open to the public. It takes 2 hours for a round trip just to go slowly to the No. 6 tunnel. It will take more if you do the road grass. So it's better to have plenty of time. It takes about 30 minutes on foot from the parking lot. When I went to see it around 13:00 on the last day (I arrived at the parking lot at around 12:30), it was vacant. It seems to be crowded in the morning. If you don't like being crowded, I think you should stagger the time. The event ends at 15:00. Admission is from 9:30 to 14:00 in the morning. Pay attention to the time. Pets are not allowed. The inside of the tunnel is pitch black and it is difficult to walk on the gravel road, so you can rest assured that you have a flashlight to illuminate your feet. There was a community of maple leaves 80 meters to the right in front of the No. 6 tunnel, and the autumn leaves were beautiful.

It was very crowded for a limited time, but it was very good. It was fun just to walk, but the autumn leaves were beautiful. It is recommended to bring a flashlight inside the tunnel. I brought a 2-year-old child, but it was unpaved but flat, so he walked slowly. In addition, there was a Marche that also sold lunch boxes along the way. I would like to come again ^ _ ^

I went to see the autumn leaves. It was an old tunnel, a trace that made me think that there was a station in the old days, and a hunt for autumn leaves in the mountains that was kept to a minimum and healed by nature. I was impressed that there was such a wonderful place ♥ ️ I go by train, so it will be crowded when the train arrives. When I arrived around 10:30 in the morning, it was quite crowded. It was about 1 o'clock on my way home, but I was vacant, so I wonder if it was good about this. I walk a lot on the stones, so I recommend shoes with thick soles and well-dressed shoes.

On December 2, 2021, we went to a special exhibition in the fall. I've been there a few years ago, but it was better than that time. Enter by paying a cooperation fee of 100 yen. I feel that the tunnel was lit with candles and the illusion was increasing. But today was the first weekday morning, people, people, people! I was able to enter without lining up, but it looks like it's going to be amazing on Saturdays and Sundays! The autumn colors are so beautiful now, and I felt happy to take a walk while looking at the Tamano Valley and thinking of the train that used to run. Mitarashi dumplings are sold on the way. (There was a trash can nearby) I hope I can go to Gifu prefecture as well.

At the end of November 2021, when the corona was also settled, I went to a special exhibition in the fall. Autumn leaves with three colors of red, yellow and green? I was able to enjoy. Not only the many tunnels, but also every corner of the walking path connecting them, I enjoyed it with a lot of handmade ingenuity, and it greatly exceeded the schedule of 2 hours. The sound of the steam locomotive running through the side of the pitch-black tunnel was the best, as it gave me a sense of realism. Under such circumstances, it was impressive that Culvert on the way back felt extraordinary. I think this is a wonderful event that has been realized with the kindness and efforts of many people, including the Preservation Society. Thank you very much.
