Former JNR Temiya Line Site

A Nostalgic Walk Along Hokkaido’s First Railway

Step onto the tracks of history at the Former Temiya Line Site, a historic walking path that preserves the legacy of Hokkaido’s first railway.


Originally opened in 1880, the Temiya Line played a vital role in transporting coal, herring, and kelp, supporting the region’s early economic development. The line was discontinued in 1985, but many of its original features—including rails and crossing gates—remain intact.


Today, the former railway has been transformed into a scenic 1.6-kilometer promenade, inviting visitors to stroll along the tracks and experience the nostalgic atmosphere of a bygone era.
