"The Amaterasu Railway in Miyazaki Prefecture is a popular local train that
takes passengers on a gorgeous 30-minute journey through the spectacular
scenery of Takachiho. The quirky train is known for its open roof, its journey
over Japan’s highest train bridge, and train conductors who blow bubbles along
the way. But now they’re known for something else: leaving passengers feeling
hungry.

The Amaterasu Railway previously ran on diesel fuel and because of the open
roof, passengers would get whiffs of exhaust fumes. However, the railway
recently announced that they had switched to running entirely on biodiesel made
from leftover tonkotsu ramen broth. Now, instead of that toxic burnt smell,
riders report smelling aromas of fried rice along the way."
