Japan Rail Hokkaido Going Green

In a step in the right direction to look after Japan’s environment, Japan Rail Hokkaido have been testing a form of transport that combines the function of a small bus and a train!

This hybrid form of transport has been developed to save on resources used in Hokkaido railway; often services in Hokkaido are extremely underused as the island only contains approximately 6% of the country’s population.

This is also a step in the right direction to help preserve one of Hokkaido’s major tourist attractions – winter! We hope more companies in Hokkaido will take a step in the “green direction” to help preserve the unique environmental conditions that brings a new way of looking at life after experiencing their first powder turns!
