We will be holding a "Hokkaido Shinkansen Construction Site Tour for Townspeople"!

(Application required) Events / Events

Currently, tunnel construction is underway in Niseko Town for the Hokkaido Shinkansen, which is planned to extend to Sapporo. We will be holding a "Townspeople's Site Visit" where you can see the construction site firsthand.
After receiving a tour and explanation of the construction at the town community center, we will actually visit the open section of the construction site. On the day of the tour, we plan to go up onto the elevated bridge and see the construction site up close.
This is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of Shinkansen (bullet train) travel in the future, so please join us.
We are looking forward to your application.
