The Joetsu Shinkansen line, connecting Niigata to Urasa, traverses the famous Yukiguni region (Snow Country) in Niigata Prefecture, an area renowned for its exceptionally heavy snowfall in winter. To cope with these conditions, the Shinkansen is equipped with sophisticated snow removal systems, including water sprinklers under the trains that prevent ice buildup, ensuring punctuality even during the coldest months. This region is also the birthplace of the globally renowned Koshihikari rice, with fields stretching as far as the eye can see from the train windows.
