Hapi-Line Fukui, Private railway company in Fukui Prefecture, Japan
Hapi-Line Fukui operates an 84.3-kilometer railway line in Fukui Prefecture that runs from Daishoji to Tsuruga. The route includes 18 intermediate stops and is served by 16 train sets that total 32 cars.
Operations began on August 13, 2019, when a new company took control of a former JR West Hokuriku Main Line section. This transfer allowed the rail connection in the region to continue under private management.
The pink and green trains run through a regional network that links coastal towns and hot spring resorts along the Sea of Japan. Travelers see rice paddies, small wooden station buildings, and communities that sit between mountains and the shore through the windows.
The route connects several small towns with larger cities and offers travelers a way to travel along the coast and through the interior of the prefecture. Direct connections to the IR Ishikawa Railway Line allow trips to Kanazawa without changing trains.
The pink and green color scheme of the trains reflects the company emblem and makes them easy to recognize on platforms. Some cars carry the names of local flowers and plants typical of the region.
