The sightseeing train “etSETOra”

This sightseeing train runs from Hiroshima Station to Onomichi Station and back via the JR Kure Line on limited days of the week. You can get on and off at Kure, Akitsu, Takehara, Tadanoumi, and Mihara stations along the way, so you can either take the train all the way through or just to your destination.

The car's interior, with its spacious seating, allows passengers to enjoy the beauty of the many islands of the Seto Inland Sea. Car #1 expresses the autumn atmosphere of Miyajima, and the floor pattern is based on the image of Senjo-kaku (Toyokuni Shrine) on Miyajima. Car #2, with green as its base color, expresses the fresh green of the mountains in the Seto Inland Sea, and the floor pattern is designed to resemble the cobblestones of Onomichi.
