JR


"Shirakami Sanchi" is a UNESCO World Heritage site in northern Honshu well known for its cool and refreshing forest of Siebold's beech trees. "Sanchi" means "mountain country" and Shirakami Sanchi is the perfect place to enjoy trekking in deep mysterious forests. JR-East recommends that you get there on our scenic train "Resort Shirakami" which provides easy access from major Shinkansen Stations (Akita and Shin-Aomori) while offering a great panoramic view of the Japan Sea. You can also enjoy on-board events like Tsugaru-Shamisen live music. Come and take a relaxed trip to Shirakami Sanchi on our scenic "Resort Shirakami" train!
