The route from Echizen-Takefu to Iiyama is served primarily by the Limited Express trains, namely the JR Hokuriku Line. This service achieves speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph), providing a direct link between these two cities. The journey typically takes around 2 hours and includes several scenic views of the countryside. Unlike high-speed trains, which operate on dedicated lines, the Limited Express conducts its operations on conventional tracks, allowing for more frequent stops, making it a suitable choice for those looking to explore nearby stations along the way. Travelers can enjoy comfortable seating and basic amenities while on board. For those considering alternatives, local trains also serve this route but take longer due to more frequent stops, thus offering a less expedited travel option.
