- Seikan Tunnel Tappi Shakō Line
The nihongo|Seikan Tunnel Tappi Shakō Line|青函トンネル竜飛斜坑線|Seikan Tonneru Tappi Shakō-sen|"Seikan Tunnel Tappi Inclined Tunnel Line" is a Japanese funicular line in Sotogahama, Aomori, operated by Seikan Tunnel Museum. The line descends from the museum near nihongo|Cape Tappi|竜飛崎 into an underground station on the Seikan Tunnel, the longest railway tunnel in the world. Transfer to the Hokkaidō Railway Company (JR Hokkaid) Kaikyō Line is however impossible from the museum.
Tappi-Kaitei Station, the JR station in the tunnel, was installed for evacuation. Passengers of the funicular are supposed to join a guided tour, that will take them back to the origin, i.e. the museum.
A possibility to use the funicular from Kaikyō Line is provided to the participants of another guided tour that will take them back to Kaikyō Line train.
