Hokkaido Railway Company Asahikawa branch office

The Hokkaido Railway Company Asahikawa branch office is a railway administrative center managing train operations across northern Hokkaido. It coordinates services connecting several cities and organizes both daily and seasonal train services for residents and visitors.

The office was established in 1987 following the privatization of Japanese National Railways and became the regional control center for the north. The shift to private management allowed better local oversight of rail connections.

This facility helps connect local residents and visitors to regional festivals, winter sports destinations, and natural areas across the prefecture. People depend on the services managed from here to plan their journeys through Hokkaido's varied landscapes.

Visitors can check timetables, buy tickets, and get information about train connections at this location. Staff can help you plan your rail journey and answer questions about regional train services.

The office also manages specialty trains like the Furano Lavender Express that bring visitors to agricultural and tourism areas. These seasonal services connect travelers with less known parts of central Hokkaido.
