【乗るなら今！】会津の新たな主役に？キハ110の新型特急「あかべこ号」の快適車内と車窓に感動！

This trip took me on the "Akabeko" limited express train, a weekday-only special service running on the Ban'etsu West Line in Fukushima Prefecture! From the outside, it looks just like a regular diesel train (Kiha 110 series). But stepping inside, you'll find a special setup with rows of reclining seats. Enjoying authentic ramen in Kitakata and gazing at the spectacular views of Lake Inawashiro and Mount Bandai from the train window, this journey on a rickety diesel express train is packed with the charm of the Ban'etsu West Line. I'll give you a thorough report on the actual ride experience. Please enjoy the contrast between the relaxed atmosphere of the Ban'etsu West Line and this special, limited-time train! Here's a video of the Rapid Aizu train, also running on the Ban'etsu West Line:    • 安くて快適！磐越西線・快速あいづ号の指定席に乗ってみた。   00:00 Opening: Looks like a regular train, but is it a "limited express"? 00:46 Starting from Kitakata Station!
