Shiki shima train

Train Suite Shiki-shima, a luxury sleeper train, has 10 cars, including lounge, dining and observatory cars, and can accommodate up to 34 passengers

Concept cars tend to look so futuristic and progressive that they never make it into production in the same shape they were showcased at car shows. Shiki-Shima train is the concept car of trains, but somehow it managed to get approved by the East Japan Railway Company, and now anyone can book a trip on this smashingly well-designed train.

Japan has announced the development of a new luxury train, called "The Cruise Train", almost like a mini version of the Snowpiercer train from the movie.

The Train Suite Shiki-shima is a slow yet incredibly futuristic train that caters for customers who want to enjoy a relaxed journey through Japan.

アフラ レイ / 林弗雷 on Instagram: "Reflecting on my incredible 2D1N journey aboard the Train Suite SHIKI-SHIMA. Every detail was a masterpiece—from the stunning design to the unforgettable Michelin-starred cuisine. The breathtaking views through the glass-enclosed observation cars made it an experience I still cherish today."

Japanese train will bark to scare deers off track.

The Japanese train we’re about to show you is unlike any other public transportation you’ve seen.

Sitting beneath a contemporary chandelier, I sipped a glass of chilled white Japanese wine as a bowing waitress placed a dish before me – an artful composition of delicate sea eel with strips of cucumber and a scattering of rainbow-bright flowers.
