Located next to Yatake Station on the JR Hisatsu Line, the Hitoyoshi City SL Exhibition Hall houses a preserved D51-170 steam locomotive. Visitors can step inside the driver's cab and admire this well-maintained engine. The hall is a short walk from the station platform, making it easily accessible for those arriving on the Isaburo/Shinpei sightseeing train. The station itself, dating back to 1909, is also worth exploring. A small shop selling local products may be open during your visit.
