Gono Line Resort Shirakami

All seats are reserved seats on this resort train that passes between Akita and Aomori. Not only can you enjoy the views of the Shirakami Mountains on the Gono Line connecting Aomori’s Kawabe Station to Akita’s Higashi-Noshiro Station, you can enjoy sightseeing while testing out the local cuisine at each station. Each train is worth seeing, as they have decorations befitting their names— “beech”, “blue pond”, and “black woodpecker” —on the interior and exterior.
