JR Hokkaido had to close several unprofitable lines that became too difficult to maintain. Now, local residents and businesses are trying to find new ways to use those discontinued lines and facilities. While some sites were acquired and sold with the tracks still in place, others have been proposed for use as camping sites, training grounds, storage facilities, art spaces and more.
