I took the Chuo East Line's special express train Alps from Shinjuku to Hakuba. The train was operated by the 257 series 2000 series Odoriko express train. Night trains have returned to the Chuo East Line for the first time in six years! Enjoy the flowing night scenery, dawn, and the magnificent early morning views of the Northern Alps and the Nishina Lakes.
