At the open-air museum "Historical Village of Hokkaido" in Sapporo City, the operation of a horse-drawn carriage railroad where horses pull vehicles on rails has started.
"Historical Village of Hokkaido" in Atsubetsu-ku, Sapporo is an open-air museum that reproduces the townscape from the Meiji era to the early Showa era.
On the premises, the horse-drawn carriage train, in which horses pull vehicles on the rails, began operating on the 16th, when the snow had melted.
The horse-drawn carriage railroad was actually used as a means of transportation for people from the Meiji era to the Taisho era, and tourists immediately boarded the train and enjoyed the view and comfort from the train window.
The man who got on the car said, "I felt the atmosphere of the Meiji era, and it was good to run while looking at the building slowly. Unlike the car, it was fresh that the horse was pulling."
Noriaki Matsui, General Manager of the Historical Village of Hokkaido, which manages the Historical Village of Hokkaido, said, "Since the horse-drawn carriage train runs only in the Historical Village of Hokkaido, we invite families and children to ride and enjoy the old townscape. I would be happy if you could get it. "
There are about 20 horse-drawn carriage trains operating daily until the end of November.
