Ayu Ayu: It was my first time dining on a sightseeing train! It was something like a scene from a movie! The "Butternut squash pizza" was so crispy and delicious, who knew cheese and butternut squash are a perfect match!

Flavorful "vegan sweet potato cake" which we've enjoyed to the last bite!

Stefi Stefi: I had a good time on the train! It warmed my heart when the train attendant and the kids from the kindergarten located along the train line waved at me! I also really enjoyed the sweet potato dessert! It was delicious and went well with the peppermint tea I had!
