The Naruto Line is a short 8.5km line from Naruto Station to Iketani Station in Tokushima Prefecture, where only local trains that stop at every station run every hour. To be honest, it doesn't seem like a very interesting line, but in fact, there is one truly unique train that runs on it every day on weekdays. The 953D, which departs from Naruto Station at 6:52, is a local train by type, but it passes through all the stations on the way to its final destination, Iketani. In other words, it is a mysterious train that passes through all the stations even though it is a local train. (I confirmed that the type is not rapid but normal by checking the JR timetable.) It is not so unusual for a local train to pass through a station on the way, and it is common for them to pass through a station with few passengers, but it is extremely unusual for it to pass through all the stations... This time, I would like to actually ride this Naruto Line local train and solve the mystery...
