The Takachiho Railway line was permanently closed after a typhoon in 2005 destroyed sections of track. Rather than restore service, a local company converted a 5.1km segment into a tourist attraction — visitors ride modified train cars (グランド・スーパーカート, 'super cart') that look like miniature locomotives, powered by electric motors, along the abandoned rails through forest and over bridges.
The ride travels at slow speed (15km/h), allowing views of the surrounding valley and the sensation of piloting your own train.
