How to get there
|
|
The museum is located in Shiraoi, a neigbouring town of Noboribetsu. It is about 100 km south of Sapporo on the main railway line from Sapporo to Hakodate. The museum is a 10-15 minute walk east from JR Shiraoi Station.
From Noboribetsu
Shiraoi is five stations east of Noboribetsu by local train. The one way journey takes about 30 minutes and costs 350 yen. Note that there is a train only about every one to two hours.
From Sapporo
Only a few limited express trains from Sapporo stop at Shiraoi. If yours does not, you need to transfer to a local train at either Tomakomai or Noboribetsu. The one way journey from Sapporo takes about 60 to 80 minutes and 3,400 yen by limited express train and about two hours and 1,790 yen if done entirely by local trains.
