Nippon Travel Agency, JR West Japan, and Adventure World will jointly offer the "Trip to Nanki-Shirahama Onsen (Hot Springs) by Panda Kuroshio".

The outbound train will depart from Kobe Station and travel through Hyogo Prefecture, where limited express Kuroshio trains do not normally operate. This is also a rare opportunity for a chartered group train to pass through the Northern Freight Line, where passenger trains normally do not run. (The return trip will stop at Shin-Osaka Station.) The train can also board from the "Osaka Station Umekita Area Underground Platform," which opened on March 18 this year.

As a special feature of this tour, you can participate in the "Nanki-Shirahama Dream Lantern," which was very popular last year. On the second day, you will have priority entry to Adventure World 30 minutes before it opens to see the giant pandas.

In addition, a backyard tour of Nanki Shirahama Airport and a near-future MR experience, realized in cooperation with Nanki Shirahama Airport, are available on the first day of the tour as newly introduced optional plans.

We look forward to your participation in this trip to enjoy the charms of Nanki Shirahama!
