Hokuriku ShinkansenArea Guide

A new golden route will come into existence in Japan in March 2015.

The Hokuriku Shinkansen line, which will open for service soon, will run from Tokyo through mountains of some 3,000 meters, carrying passengers to the fascinating cities of the Japan Sea side of the country in the blink of an eye. It will be a new golden route that allows passengers to enjoy all Japan has to offer from the capital city of Tokyo to various regions of Japan that still have the country's original scenery intact.
