    I did the same trip almost 3 years ago (January 2019), but from Sapporo to Hakodate, also I took the 6am train. Besides how trains works perfectly in Japan, travel trough Hokkaido during winter it’s a whole new thing. Waking around Sapporo, Otarubin the middle of the storm, the views from Goryukaku. Unforgettable

      i like this limited express service as the views are very scenic, since the shinkansen is faster you really can't enjoy it. not sure if a third sector railway will take over the line after the extension is completed, hope they retain some services. i am also fond of this diesel train, you can hear it changing gears(?) not sure if it does lol

    In Hokkaido, JR does not start trains until 06 00 , compared to 04 30 the Tokyo area, 04 45 in Osaka, 05 00 in Nagoya, and 05 00 in Kyushu. Because ridership is low and the winters are harsh.

    So pretty! I'm sitting here in sunny Arizona, USA. The closest train is over an hour away, and only goes east/west. I'm very sad that we are too rural to have people trains here, although there are lots of trains full of cargo. We are so connected to our cars, trains don't stand a chance of a comeback, except in maybe in the Phoenix metro area.

    Very pretty. A couple things I noticed about Japanese farmland is I never ever see livestock out in the pastures and I watch a lot of Japanese travel channels.. In the US, you will always see horses, sheep ect. I do however see a lot cemeteries by the train tracks with nothing else around them.

There's a trian here in northern Utah called the Front Runner I ride sometimes. It's one of those double decker commuter trains that also goes up to 79 mph.
