Crystal Express is a resort train that JR Hokkaido began operating in 1989.

It features a unique design with windows that are larger than ordinary vehicles so that you can get a panoramic view of the scenery, and it was popular as a train that connects ski resorts and tourist spots such as Furano and Tomamu.

On the 29th due to the aging of the vehicle, the last operation will be carried out, and a lot of people started to crawl into the platform of the departure station Sapporo Station from the morning.

Tickets for reserved seats were sold out within a few days after they were released, but some railway fans visited from a distance even though they could not get on.

And while the person who was fond of the last day saw off, at 9:07 am, we left Sapporo Station and headed to the destination Furano Station.

A 20-year-old man from Aichi Prefecture said, “I never got on, but I wanted to see it once, so I came to the last opportunity. It was.

The train will depart Furano Station before 5pm on the 29th and will arrive at Sapporo Station before 7pm.
