Trivia[]
- The cab of KuHa 810-2 is used as a simulator attraction on the premises. The cab was salvaged from the set which was involved in an accident in 2002; the use of an actual car body of a train car is rare when it comes to simulator usage. Developed by Ongakukan, a company involved in the development of train simulators in Japan, footage was recorded from 813 series set RM205 while the motor sounds of 811 series set PM1 are superimposed over.
