The page, specifically for the Thomas the Tank Engine train on the Ogiwana Railway's website specifically says:
> Please kindly note that our DAY OUT WITH THOMAS™ event is exclusively marketed to the Japanese domestic market and tickets cannot be purchased from abroad
> Thomas the Tank Engine tickets are sold exclusively on Lawson Ticket and Asoview, and Oigawa Railway cannot accept direct reservations. Foreign residents may purchase Thomas the Tank Engine tickets via Lawson Ticket or Asoview, but please be aware that their websites are only available in Japanese, and English support is severely limited.
So – Can I or can I not purchase them through Lawson? Can I only do it whilst in the country? Will I, as a foreigner, just be turned away if I somehow do get a ticket – espeically where I have no kids and it's just me and my partner going?
Anyone been to the railway itself and can clarify?
