Sota Fujii, who won three consecutive titles in one of the eight major shogi titles held in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture, served as station manager for a day at Sanriku Railway's Miyako Station on the 1th, one night after the game.
Fujii Rokukaku defended his title for the first time this year and won his third consecutive title in the fourth round of the "Eio Match" 28th round held in Miyako City on the 4th.
On the 3th, Rokkaku Fujii, who is known for his love of railroads, visited Miyako Station on the Sanriku Railway with Reo Koyama Shidan, a native of Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture, who became a professional shogi player for the first time after the war without experiencing the "encouragement meeting" of the Japan Shogi Federation.
The Sanriku Railway was severely damaged by the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and was subsequently restored.
On the 2th, the two toured the depot and actually got into the vehicle to experience driving.
After this, the two were handed a one-day stationmaster's order and a suki, gave the departure order at the station platform, and saw off the train.
Rokkaku Fujii said, "I had a great experience with driving experience and uniforms because I didn't expect it to be so serious. We will have the fifth round of the Meijin Tournament tomorrow, so we will do our best to play shogi in good condition."
