关于此内容

The Hachikō Line is a 92-km long single-track line connecting Hachiōji Station in Hachiōji City, Tōkyō to Kuragano Station in Takasaki City, Gumma Prefecture. From Kuragano Station, the train connects to the Takasaki Line and runs to Takasaki Station. Hachioji Station to Komagawa Station is an electrified section, and from Komagawa Station to Kita-Fujioka Station is a non-electrified section, the only non-electrified section in Saitama Prefecture and one of the few in Gunma Prefecture. In this DLC, you can enjoy the non-electrified section between Takasaki Station and Komagawa Station. There are no overhead wires blocking the view, and the scenery along the line seen from the driver's seat is dynamic. The flat section from Takasaki Station to Yorii Station runs through urban areas and fields, while the mountainous section from Yorii Station to Komagawa Station is impressive, with several 20‰ grades and a view of mountain villages.

We hope you will enjoy the Hachikō Line with its full of local train atmosphere, where you can drive through mountainous sections with fields and 20‰ gradients and flat urban areas with this DLC.
