Furano-Biei Norokko Train
A scenic rail journey through lavender fields
Enjoy a leisurely summer-only sightseeing train ride through the stunning landscapes of Furano and Biei, where lavender fields sway in the wind.
The Furano-Biei Norokko Train, named after the words “noronoro” (moving slowly) and “torokko” (open-air freight car), is a special train pulled by a DE15 diesel locomotive and classic 510-series passenger cars. Large open windows allow the crisp Hokkaido breeze to flow through the carriage, carrying the gentle scent of lavender and summer fields. Outside, the vibrant Patchwork Road stretching across the hills of Biei and the majestic peaks of the Daisetsuzan mountain range unfold before your eyes.
At the most scenic points along the route, the train slows down, giving you plenty of time to capture the perfect photo. While listening to the rhythmic "clack-clack" of the rails, you can lose yourself in views of red-roofed houses perched on hills and the vast, unfolding plains. With the rustic texture of the wooden benches beneath you, this is a luxurious invitation to savor the very best of a Hokkaido summer.
