＜Transfer points＞

Limited Express Thunderbird is an express train connecting Osaka/Kyoto to Tsuruga. At Tsuruga Station, it usually arrives at platform 32 of the conventional limited express platform (1st floor). On the other hand, Hapi Line Fukui (Fukui direction) trains depart from platform 3, 5, or 7 (platform 7 is the main platform during the daytime).

After getting off the limited express Thunderbird, go upstairs first. Then, go in the direction of the arrow on the information sign marked "Hapiline Fukui". Walk in the direction of the "West Exit.

Walk toward the "West Exit" on the 2nd floor concourse, take the escalator (or stairs) down to the lower floor, take the "moving walkway", and you will find the stairs and elevator to platform 7. Beyond that, you will also see stairs and elevators to platforms No. 3 and No. 5.

In order to transfer smoothly from the limited express Shirasagi to the Hokuriku Shinkansen at Tsuruga Station, it is important to know the locations of the "up escalator," "elevator," and "stairs" on the limited express platforms of conventional lines.

The Thunderbird limited express trains are operated in 9-car or 12-car configurations. The following is a summary of the car numbers near each train formation (*as of April 2024).
