“etSETOra” – Tourism Train Impeccably Engineered in the Local Flavor
“Et cetera” is the Latin phrase used to express “various other things,” “and so forth” and similar concepts. The “etSETOra” reflects this nuance, striving to articulate the attractions of the Setouchi region found along the train’s route. The origins lie in the phrase “etto,” which in the local Hiroshima dialect means “many” or “numerous.” In other words, the hope is for passengers on this train to tune into and interact with the abundant attractions found in Seto.
