On September 1, 2024, among about 400 applicants, we were able to take part in the trolleybus backyard tour and see the interior of the bus and various engines that you cannot normally see. It was a manic event where we were able to see every detail without being affected by the typhoon. Thank you to all the staff at Tateyama Kurobe Kanmitsu for making it an unforgettable memory!
