The most famous train in Japan is the bullet train (Called as
"Shinkansen" in Japanese language).

At present, Japan is developing the
next generation high-speed railway called as "Linear bullet train". A superconducting maglev type linear motor car that can travel at the
maximum speed of 505 km/h is constructed, with the utmost possible
straight route, with the aim of high speed transit. The
earliest opening between Tokyo and Nagoya is aimed for the year 2027,
and it is expected to connect the 300km distance between Tokyo and
Nagoya in 40 minutes at maximum speed.

However, this train is different from other trains that promotes only
speed at present in Japan, the development of a train that creates an
extravagance and graceful travel is not much known.
I will introduce one of the state-of-the-art train.The extravagance
sleeper train "SEVEN STARS" was open to the public before the start of
operation on 14th October.
The train called as "Nanatsuboshi" is a deluxe sleeper train with diesel engine and 7 passenger coaches. The production cost was about 3 billion yen.
Wood is used in abundance inside the coach, and a sofa and piano are also provided.
The facilities that are provided inside each of the coaches will put the luxury hotel to shame.
Please fully enjoy the relaxed and comfortable travel of Japan with SEVEN STARS by all means.
