Japanese cruiser Abukuma, a World War II cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy
During peak holiday periods such as Golden Week, Obon, and New Year, the rapid service Abukuma makes a single round-trip with a 2-car train.
Abukuma was then ordered to Palau, from which it accompanied the Carrier Striking Force on the attack on Port Darwin, Australia.
The entire task force consisted of the aircraft carrier Zuikaku, the light aircraft carriers Zuihō, Jun'yō and Ryūjō, the heavy cruisers Maya, Takao, Myōkō, Haguro and Nachi, the light cruisers Abukuma, Kiso and Tama, and 15 destroyers.
