[JR East] Joetsu Line: A route that passes through the strict Joetsu border

#0yentravel The Joetsu Line is a JR main line that connects Takasaki in Gunma Prefecture and Miyauchi in Niigata Prefecture. It opened as an important railway line connecting the Kanto region and Echigo, and is still one of the main arteries supporting logistics and regional transportation. In the section that crosses the Joetsu border, the train runs along steep mountains and clear streams, and travelers are greeted by natural scenery that changes with the seasons. In the past, express trains ran frequently, but now it has become a quiet line, with local trains and rapid trains that connect to the Shinkansen mainly. You can enjoy a leisurely journey along the long road where history and nature intersect.
