on the Izu peninsular there is a train called the black ships train. half of the seating is arranged facing outwards, so you see the scenery easily. seat plan here http://www.izukyu.co.jp/guide/guide3_2.html

Isn’t there a train in Kyushu with wood paneling and stuff already? Not as fancy as the Seven Stars one, but I recall that it looked beautiful in photos. Sequel to this post…onegashimasu!

If my memory was correct, in Japan, there are three stations which there agents ( stationmasters ) are real living cat or rabbit. Also newly introduced type of Shinkansen will be realize its top speed 320 km/h at this year. At least one station has Onsen – hot spring spa facility insides the station, you can check the arrival of the train by watching signal lights while enjoying the bath and will hardly miss your train. Enjoy not only the train itself but stations which want to entertain train lovers.

You studied well ! In Kyoushu, there are many attractive trains. Worth to visit the lines. In Aomori, a coast line train has a service of “live Shamisen music playing”, check this out if you were interested in it.

I visited Tama, so I’ve seen the Tama train (there’s also a Tama tram and stuff), but I haven’t been inside of it as it wasn’t running that day. Instead I was inside a pretty cool strawberry train! ^^

I’d love to take the Kotatsu train some day! :D
Actually I want all the trains to turn into kotatsu trains in winter! ;P
