The Tsugaru Railway Line is notable for its seasonal trains that are run during the summer, autumn and winter.

The Tsugaru Railway Line is single-track for its entire length, and its sole passing loop is located at Kanagi Station.

During the summer (from 1 July to 31 August), locally-made wind chimes and haiku strips are hung from the ceiling of all trains in operation.

[5] During the winter (from 1 December until 31 March the following year), a 'stove train' is generally operated three times per day.

The Tsugaru Railway Company was founded in 1928, and the first section of the line was opened on July 15, 1930, from Goshogawara to Kanagi.
