Fuji Kyuko will open its “Sa-den” sauna train in December.
A 1000 Series 1001 trainset from the Fuji Kyuko Line, which was retired in December 2024, will be converted into a sauna and permanently installed on railway tracks. The company says this will be Japan’s first use of a retired train car as a sauna facility.
The facility will include an indoor relaxation area inspired by a station platform and an outdoor cooling area with views of Mount Fuji. The driver’s cab will also be incorporated into the facility’s features, while Sauna Ikitai will assist with its development.
The facility will be operated by PICA and located at Shimoyoshida Station on the Fuji Kyuko Line.
