A train that almost touches the sky

HIGH RAIL 1375 travels at some of the highest altitudes of any of our trains, so we emphasized this in our design.

Stargazing

Guides from along the Koumi Line lead HIGH RAIL Stargazing events while the train is stopped at Nobeyama Station. Take in the starry skies from the village of Minamaki, selected by astronomers as one of Japan's top three most beautiful stargazing locations.

  • *Bring your own light source to aid you while walking in the dark.
  • *Bring rain gear and warm clothing in case of inclement weather.
