One thing I noticed is that the driver points at every signal he looks at, as I understand it this is part of training to add muscle memory to taking note of everything you need to watch for.
-
I loved that little pupper who was the station master.
-
I lived in Japan for over 4 years. What an amazing country. I miss it so much! Such fantastic people and culture! They really do everything and anything for their customers.

-
Japan and the people seem so lovely. Never been but would love to visit someday
-
I'm a train attendant aboard Amtrak(Southwest Chief) & this would be my fantasy train to work. If only we could have this type of train travel in the USA. The detail of the product presentation is other worldly.
-
This is jaw dropping. So beautiful!! The menus, the room, the cars, the design and decor. Just wow. But the bestâŚthe special station master with his little hat. đ
-
Japan is such a wonderful country to visit. I cannot wait to go back someday.

It's not just a trip on the train, it's an entire experience. And the dining options looked incredible.

Trust the Japanese to do something so amazingly well. They really do understand what experiences should be like. I'm in awe of this train. I must go on it. I didn't even know such a thing existed.
