Stylish Trains in Japan



I'm not a train geek, but I found interesting magazine articles.
The men's culture magazine, Pen featured Japanese trains on June 15th issue.



It's far from Tokyo, but there are many stylish trains in Kyushu (Southern part of Japan) area!




TSUBAME, JR Kyushu Shinkansen (Bullet train), was introduced in 2004. Interior of TSUBAME is Japanese classic modern coordinated with black and dark red.


It runs between Shin-Yatsushiro and Kagoshima-Chuo. (For detail, visit the official site here.)






SONIC (883), a limited express that operated by JR Kagoshima-Honsen, is corrdinated with futuristic interior. Metallic car deck and leather seats are somehow matching well.





RELAY TSUBAME is a major stylish train in Kyushu that won many design awards.

It's like a classic hotel lounge. Green car is even more luxurious.
