Aloha,

We are leaving Sapporo early (7am) on the 15th of October and need to be at NRT early afternoon (2pm) on the 16th. We are trying to find either a very nice scenic route and/or JR Pass interesting city for the 15th and an overnight to enjoy before heading to airport.

1) Does the Resort Shirakami run in October?

2) If so, how can I find out the days/times it is running on?

3) Are there other trains on the Gono line in October that are worth taking?

3) Do you have any other suggestions? Maybe that involve fall colors or historic small town?

thank you,
René

Hi René,

1.) Yes

2.) Details are on this page: https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/joyful/uetsu.html?src=gnavi including the option to make advanced reservations.

3.) Not really :) but the Akita Shinkansen is great!

4.) Hakodate and fort Goryukaka will be nice during that time of year. Yamadera and Matsushima likewise :)

Hope this helps,
Daniel
