Have you ever heard of the Echigo Line? It’s a railway operated by JR East that connects Kashiwazaki and Niigata City in Niigata Prefecture. This line passes through stunning landscapes, including the Nishiyama Hills, the Yahiko Mountain Range, and the vast Echigo Plain. Along the route, you’ll see beautiful rice fields and wide-open scenery that make the ride unforgettable.
One of the most magical moments is at night when the train, brightly lit, passes through the dark rice fields. The glowing train against the peaceful backdrop creates a scene that feels like something out of a Miyazaki anime. It’s no surprise that a video capturing this moment has gained thousands of likes in X.com.
The Echigo Line isn’t just about getting from one place to another—it offers a chance to experience Japan’s natural beauty in a truly special way.
