Sightseeing Train activities in Asia

1. Ryūhyō Norokko-gō

   • Abashiri, Japan
   • Activities › Sightseeing train

   Running concurrently with the Aurora is this sightseeing train, puttering along twice a day from Abashiri to Shiretoko-shari Station (¥810, 40 minutes) through a field of utterly white snow. Stare out at this frozen landscape while eating toasted surume (squid) and nursing a can of Sapporo lager.

   In the fall, a cycling road runs for 25km from Abashiri proper to the coral-grass-viewing areas and beyond, providing some beautiful views of lakes, forests and pumpkin fields. In the summer, the northern coastal areas are perfect for beachcombing with lots of sand dollars and other small shells.
