{{Nihongo|'''''Tango Explorer'''''|タンゴエクスプローラー|Tango-ekusupurōrā|}} was a limited express service operated by [[Kitakinki Tango Railway]] and [[West Japan Railway Company]] (JR West) between {{STN|Shin-Osaka|x}} and {{STN|Miyazu|x}} and/or {{STN|Toyooka|x|Hyōgo}} stations. The term also referred to the KTR001 series (currently used for ''Tango Relay'' services between Fukuchiyama and Toyooka) rolling stock itself. "Tango" refers to the {{Nihongo|Tango|丹後}} region of northern Kyoto Prefecture.<br />
<br />
Prior to 1999, the ''Tango Explorer'' operated from [[Kyoto Station]], but with the introduction of the ''Tango Discovery'' service, ''Tango Explorer'' services begi at Shin-Osaka.<br />
<br />
The service operated from 1990 to 2011.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.ryoko-net.co.jp/?p=120342|title=京都丹後鉄道、タンゴ・エクスプローラー オマージュトレイン運行|website=ryoko-net.co.jp|date=28 July 2023|access-date=13 June 2025|language=ja}}</ref><br />

==Services==<br />
''Tango Explorer'' services were generally run with three-car trains, though during peak holiday periods six-car trains (three paired sets) are used. When the ''Tango Explorer'' KTR001 series trainset was out of operation, KTR8000 series DMUs (used on the ''Tango Discovery'' service) or JNR [[183 series]] EMUs were sometimes used.{{fact|date=June 2023}}<br />
