Introducing the Thunderbird Express

A one-way Hokuriku ticket also covers the Thunderbird Limited Express, a limited express train connecting Osaka and Kanazawa Stations, with some extending their service to Wakura Onsen. Typically, one train departs per hour, and if you're traveling from Osaka to Kanazawa, a Thunderbird Limited Express ticket is a must!

How to use the Thunderbird Express 200%

The Thunderbird Express train connects Osaka Station with major cities like Kyoto and Fukui, making it a great option for traveling from Osaka to Kyoto and Fukui, even without having to travel all the way to Kawasaki. Furthermore, since the Thunderbird Express only stops at Fukui after Kyoto, there's no better way to travel between Kyoto and Fukui.

Also, as expected from a special express train, the interior is nice as it is well-equipped and cleanly maintained!
