Shinkansen in the north of Japan

Get ready for the upcoming Hokkaido Shinkansen train!

The Hokkaido Shinkansen made its debut on March 26, 2016!

This latest high-speed bullet train will take travellers from the northernmost point of the main Honshu Island, Aomori, to Hakodate, a noted city in southern Hokkaido. Connections from Tokyo is now possible.

To celebrate the launch of this new train, this month we are releasing articles to explain more about the train, its new stations, where it goes, what to see, and the new rail passes that will come with it.
