JR Lavender Express
The very popular JR Lavender Express seasonal service kicked off today with a special welcome in Furano.
The Lavender Express is the easiest way to visit the Furano area from Sapporo. The once daily express service departs Sapporo Station at 7:41 AM, arriving in Furano at 9:45. For those wanting to get right to the flowers, a connecting train departs at 10:01 from just across the platform, stopping at Nakafurano and Bibaiushi.
The return train to Sapporo departs Furano at 4:55 PM, arriving in Sapporo at 6:14 PM.
The Lavender Express will operate June 8-9, and daily service thru the middle of August will begin on June 15.
See you in Furano.
