Winter Scenery in Fukui, Japan #3 / Snow Scenery from Train
2017.04.01
There have been many days that we can see the sun, the snow has been cleared in almost every parts of Japan and it has been getting warmer.
I would like to look back the winter which has just passed.
We had so much snow in Fukui Prefecture from February 10th, 2017 for a few days.
In Fukui, we don’t usually have much snow in February. And if even it does snow, we would not expect so much snow to be piled up. People in Fukui, all of us were taken by surprise with so much snow piled up in such a short time in February.
The areas where snow-removing vehicles did not go into to clear the snow, it was piled up to the knees.
Seeing the snow sceneries from the trains of the Echizen Railway in Fukui are always beautiful. Taking the Ktsuyama Eiheiji Line from Fukui station, as the train gets closer to Ktsuyama City, you start seeing snow more and more.
On February 11th, 2017, many public transportation services were delayed or cancelled but the Echizen Railway was fine. I like taking trains of Echizen Railway because of it. They hardly delay or cancel.
