A Ride on Japan’s SCMaglev at 500 km/h: JR Central’s Yamanashi Line Test Train
Kitahiroshima City in Hokkaido and JR Hokkaido have decided to name the new station on the Chitose Line, currently under construction next to Hokkaido Ballpark F Village, “F Village Station.”
Kitahiroshima City proposed the name, taking into account the name of the municipal urban park, “Hokkaido Ballpark F Village,” and using suggestions submitted by local residents as a reference. JR Hokkaido made the final decision. The station name is pronounced “Efu Birēji” in Japanese, and its English name is “F-VILLAGE.” Its station number will be H06-1. The opening date will be announced at a later date.
JR Hokkaido has released a construction video of F Village Station on its official YouTube channel.
