Everything about the Thunderbird Express Train

The Thunderbird Limited Express is a limited express train that connects Osaka Station to Kanazawa Station, and some of its trains extend to Wakura Onsen. Basically, one vehicle is deployed per hour, and it departs every hour at 42 minutes from Osaka Station and takes about 30 minutes to Kyoto.

In addition, as a limited express train, it is well-equipped with amenities and is neatly maintained inside and out, making it easy to relax and move around comfortably.

Visit Kenrokuen in Kanazawa

For those traveling by Thunderbird Limited Express, we recommend visiting Kenrokuen, one of Japan's three great gardens, located in Kanazawa. It is a garden with a pond on a large piece of land. You can enjoy plum blossoms and cherry blossoms in the spring, azaleas in the summer, maple leaves in the fall, and snowy scenes in the winter, making it a great place to visit any time of the year.
