What is the Kisuki Line Wrapping Train?

There are four kinds of "wrapped trains" that run on the JR Kisuki Line, one of the leading mountain railways in the Chugoku region. The two-tone color scheme is based on the Kisuki Line's line color of golden yellow and expresses the tourist attractions along the line in color, with pink representing the cherry blossoms along the line, light blue representing the Hiikawa River, the birthplace of Japanese mythology, yellow-green representing the abundant nature and rice terraces, and gray representing the nationally proud "Tatara".
