JR Hokkaido has decided to resume operation from around 7:00 pm between Otaru and Sapporo among the trains departing from and arriving at Sapporo Station, which had been suspended because snow removal could not catch up.



In addition to the progress of snow removal, the trains that had been kept at the station were gradually accommodated at the base, and it is expected that they will resume.



The service between Sapporo and New Chitose Airport will be suspended on the 8th, with the aim of resuming operation on the 9th.



Also, between Sapporo and Iwamizawa on the Hakodate Line, we are aiming to resume operation on the night of the 9th.

At the press conference, Hiroyuki Miyakoshi, General Manager of the Railway Business Division of JR Hokkaido, said, "What to do with the Gakuentoshi Line and the limited express train is at the stage of making a plan. It will be a decision while watching the progress. "
