The "Amachan" is back thanks to everyone's support! NON "Ama-chan" is back!😭🚃🌊
To commemorate the 10th Year Anniversary of the drama, fans crowdfunded a train of the Sanriku Railway.
Seeing her reactions to seeing the art of her character on the train and her dressing up as her character again is so cute and wholesome.

Tetsu Yoshida of Ofunato City
Since its opening in 1984, Mr. Yoshida has been working for the Sanriku Railway, a local train that runs up and down the coast of Iwate, and now he is the director of operations on its South Rias Line. Along with being directly involved with the restoration of the line following the 2011 disaster, he also helps to run an educational train about disaster preparedness, as well as “event trains” such as a Sweets train (with locally-prepared desserts) and a New Year’s train.
“Down here in the worst-hit areas of the tsunami, we knew it would be a long time before the Sanriku train lines would be restored. For the train conductors or otherwise train-related positions, we had no choice but to give them work that had nothing to do with what we hired them for. So I really tried hard to stress to them that we were definitely going to rebuild the lines and have the trains up and running again. The president at the time showed some powerful leadership, and vowed that all of the lines would be back up and running within three years. So when someone was worried if we’d really recover, I’d tell them that it would be alright. Our president stood in front of all of us, and told us, right? Right after the disaster, he traveled to all the parts of the railway, pushing forward without sleep. If a man like that said so, then we should believe him, and calmly follow him. That’s what I told my workers. And we did completely reopen in April 2014 – three years after the disaster.”
Mr. Yoshida and other employees at South Rias Line Operations of the Sanriku Railway
“There was a small restaurant near this building that was badly hit by the tsunami, and yet the owner gave us a donation shortly afterwards. We said, no! You’ve suffered enough; don’t worry about us. But the owner said she wanted us to rebuild the train lines as quickly as possible. That’s what so many people told us. This is the local train line of a rural area. The way people get around. You’ve got to rebuild – the town just feels lonely and empty without the sound of the train on the tracks. The funny thing is, usually train companies only hear from local people that the trains are too loud. But now people were telling us they missed the ringing of the train signal and the whoosh of the train crossing by. For two years, we didn’t have the sound of the trains running by, and the people who live by the tracks told us it just wasn’t right that you couldn’t hear the train. We knew we had to rebuild for them.”

A railway line stretching more than 160 kilometers along the Pacific Coast of northeastern Japan resumed regular services Sunday for the first time since sustaining heavy damage caused by the tsunami following the massive earthquake that struck the region in 2011.
The service between Miyako and Kamaishi stations in Iwate Prefecture officially reopened Saturday with a single train journey. The operator Sanriku Railway Co. gained control of the section of track from East Japan Railway Co. and opened the whole of the 163-km Rias Line that also includes two sections along the prefecture's coast that had already resumed operations.
At Unosumai Station in the city of Kamaishi on Sunday, local students welcomed train cars adorned with the design they made, featuring English and French words of appreciation for the support they received from overseas for the region's reconstruction.
"It looks better than I expected. I hope more people will smile and cheer up our town when they see this train in operation," said Mana Kawasaki, a 14-year-old from Kamaishi-Higashi Junior High School, as she saw the brightly-colored train.
In the 2011 disaster, the Unosumai station building was completely destroyed. Unosumai will become the closest station to the stadium serving as one of the venues for the Rugby World Cup that starts this September in Japan.
The Rias Line, which links Kuji and Sakari stations further to the north and south in the prefecture, is the longest railroad in Japan operated by a public-private venture.
Among three prefectures -- Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima -- significantly damaged by the March 11, 2011 disasters, train services remain suspended only between JR Namie and Tomioka stations in Fukushima due to the nuclear crisis in the prefecture.

Rugby World Cup Shines Spotlight on a Less-Traveled Japan
This autumn, fans from around the world will descend upon Japan for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, the first time the tournament will be held in Asia. With venues spread across the country, the five-week-long tournament provides an opportunity to see a variety of sights in Japan. Matches will be played in major cities like Tokyo and Osaka, but the less-traveled host cities like Kamaishi, Kumamoto and Fukuroi offer accessible, charming destinations — as well as special deals and events — that give visitors the chance to experience Japan off the beaten path.
Kamaishi, Iwate Prefecture
In March 2011, the scenic steel town of Kamaishi lost more than 1,100 residents in the tsunami that followed the Great Tohoku Earthquake; it is the only host city directly affected by the disaster. With deep ties to the sport through its famed Northern Ironmen club, the town has embraced rugby as part of its disaster recovery efforts, including construction in 2018 of the 16,000-seat Kamaishi Recovery Memorial Stadium.
“We wish to show visitors the restored image of [the Tohoku region] and convey our gratitude as a host city of the Rugby World Cup,” said Yoshinao Takahashi, a public relations official with the city’s Rugby World Cup 2019 promotion headquarters.
When not taking in rugby matches, visitors can explore the town’s forested mountain surroundings. The Kamaishi Section of the 700-km Michinoku Coastal Trail winds through the town, making for a flexible, low-impact day trip that lets hikers take in both the history and natural beauty of the area.
The Kamaishi Iron and Steel Museum (Adult admission: 500 yen, or $4.50) traces the town’s industrial history and provides a charming side trip with views of the surrounding Kamaishi Harbour.
Visitors to Kamaishi should also keep an eye out for the rugby-themed “Scrum Iwate Fifteen” train. Introduced earlier this summer, the train is adorned with 35 yura-chara mascots from across Iwate Prefecture and is scheduled to run on the Sanriku Railway line through June.
WHERE TO STAY Traditional Japanese inns — ryokan — in Kamaishi and nearby towns are an excellent opportunity to experience the famed hospitality of the region. With autumn temperatures in the mid-70s, Kamaishi, and Iwate Prefecture as a whole, also offer an abundance of campsites for those seeking more rustic accommodations.
Kumamoto, Kumamoto Prefecture
In the southern reaches of Japan, Kumamoto — one of three host cities on the island of Kyushu — is perhaps best known for its famous bear mascot, Kumamon. But the city has more to offer than its perpetually cheerful avatar.
The city is home to the 15th-century Kumamoto Castle, one of Japan’s “big three” castles (along with Himeji Castle and Matsumoto Castle). The complex was damaged in a series of earthquakes in 2016, but visitors in October can see the castle and its grounds close up when town officials open a nearby plaza.
In recent years, Kumamoto has quietly developed a reputation as a must-visit for foodies. Kumamoto ramen in particular, with its trademark thick noodles and distinct garlic flavor, is a popular draw. The city is also something of a meat-lovers paradise, known for its akagyu red Wagyu beef and immaculately raised pork.
For those looking for a quiet respite between raucous rugby matches, the calming Suizenji Jojuen Garden (Adult admission: (¥400, or $3.75) is a pleasant 17th-century garden and pond located in the heart of Kumamoto.
WHERE TO STAY Kumamoto’s unique geography results in exceptionally clean groundwater, and the city is quite proud of having mineral water on tap. Beyond drinking water, this natural resource also makes for excellent hot spring hotels. The mountainous Aso Region surrounding Kumamoto offers many such onsen hotels, such as the Sanga Ryokan, with traditional lodging and two open-air hot springs.
Fukuroi, Shizuoka Prefecture
Located halfway between Tokyo and Osaka, Shizuoka Prefecture is perhaps best known as home to Mt. Fuji in its eastern region. But its western region, where Furukoi lies, is not without its charms.
As the former seat of the powerful Tokugawa Shogunate, the area has a deep history. Visitors can walk the ornate grounds of the 15th-century Kasuisai Temple, rebuilt and named by the former Shogun, and partake in a Shojin-ryori — a traditional Buddhist vegetarian meal — or a Zen meditation session.
The city and its surrounding regions are known as a top producer of green tea in Japan, producing about 40 percent of the country’s crop. A modest trek from the city at Grinpia Makinohara, guests can pick tea leaves in the plantations lush fields, with tours operating from April through early October (Adult admission: ¥820 or $7.60). Tea-making workshops are also offered on site, as is a free tour of the Grinpia factory.
WHERE TO STAY As part of its mission to provide visitors with an authentic taste of the city, Fukuroi is offering a unique homestay program for international guests during the Rugby World Cup. Visitors can apply for three-day, two-night homestay packages with host families in the city (¥27,400 or $258 per person), as well as a variety of optional cultural activities and tours with their host families.
Cost-Effective Travel
The Japan Rail Pass provides the most practical way to reach the more far-flung host cities of the Rugby World Cup. Sold by the Japan Railways Group in 7-, 14- or 21-day increments, and available only to foreign passport holders, the Rail Pass offers unlimited travel on local JR lines as well as most of the country’s famed shinkansen bullet-trains.

One year ago, we started traveling around Iwate Prefecture to get to know some of the fine people who live here. It has been a whirlwind – from riding on boats down in Geibi Gorge, learning about stargazing from experts in Ofunato, and learning about the Miyako dialect through illustrations from a local artist.
There are a lot of different people in this little-known region of northern Japan, but what ties them all together is their warmth, openness, and their love for Iwate.
