Goryokaku to Minamichitose Train
Travelers on the Goryokaku to Minamichitose route have two main train services to choose from: the Limited Express Hokuto and the local train service. The Limited Express Hokuto is the faster option, operating at speeds of up to 130 km/h (81 mph) and covering the approximately 250 km journey in around 3 hours and 15 minutes. This service makes fewer stops, allowing for a quicker transit between Hokkaido's scenic locations.
In contrast, the local train service takes a longer route, with multiple stops along the way, extending the travel time to about 5 hours. While the local service may be more affordable, it lacks the speed and efficiency of the Limited Express Hokuto.
Passengers can expect comfortable seating and onboard refreshments on both train types. The Limited Express Hokuto is a great choice for those prioritizing speed, while the local service caters to travelers who prefer to see more of the countryside.
