Trains on Sekisho Line


In August 2025, I traveled around Hokkaido using the Seishun 18 Ticket. The Sekisho Line, which connects Minami-Chitose Station and Shintoku Station and includes part of the former Yubari Line, is a fascinating line that runs through the natural beauty of the mountainous areas across the northern Hidaka Mountains. I took the pictures of the various trains that run on this line.
