The JR Hokkaido Soya Main Line is 259.4km long and connects the northernmost Wakkanai Station and Asahikawa Station in Japan. This is a tough line with few trains and passengers, but you can ride the whole line with only local trains! It's tough to make a round trip in a day, but the views of Shiokari Pass, Teshio River, and Nakukai are amazing! In particular, the sunset over Rishiri Fuji and the Sarobetsu Genya are a wonderful view from the train window that is typical of Hokkaido! I also took a lot of photos of the front view! There are many charming station buildings, such as the conductor's car at Nisshin Station and Monkanbetsu Station, the storage station building at Nukanan Station, and the wooden station building at Nakukai Station! The engine sound of the Kiha 54 JNR-type diesel car is also great! And what's more, you can go even further from Wakkanai Station? You'll also encounter many deer! With the Seishun 18 Ticket, you can travel at a low cost for just 2,410 yen per day! *A super cheap ticket that allows you to ride JR local and rapid trains nationwide for 5 days for 12,050 yen! Masochistic railway fans, please try this out! In railway-related YouTube videos, they say "Wakkanai is in the neighborhood," but it's too far away to be called a neighborhood... #Railway #Seishun 18 Ticket #JR HokkaidoReference video >> Cruel [2 years since the line was closed] I've seen a line that has not only been closed by rail, but has even "withdrew from being converted to buses" • Cruel [2 years since the line was closed] I've seen a line that has not only been closed by rail, but has even "withdrew from being converted to buses" Yoichi → Otaru [Parallel conventional line] Crowding in the section that has been decided to be closed!
