Watch: With private cabins, restaurant cart & stunning views Japan’s limited express train pure luxury on wheels
There's a reason they say Japan is living in 3035. From single-serve food to futuristic sleeping pods for weary travellers, Japan is home to some of the best things man knows today, things that make life simpler and more efficient. In a video shared recently by X user '@gunsnrosesgirl3' you get to see a futuristic locomotive packed to the brim with luxury. Rotating seats that turn to the windows so you have the best views, restaurant carts with limited-edition cookies and even private cabins, there's nothing this limited express train in Japan is missing.
What does the viral video show?
"If you're coming to Japan you have to take this limited express train called Saphir Odoriko," X user Science Girl says in the clip that opens to a shot of the train pulling into the station.?
Once inside, she and her friend show their tickets and are directed inside to an area with recliners for seats, seats that move this way and that to ensure you don't miss even a second of the scenic route.?
"It is a scenic train that goes from Tokyo through the Izu Peninsula and features stunning views of the coast," she says. The seats are next level. She explains, "The seats have a special feature allowing them to turn and face the large windows that are designed for sightseeing.?
So what is the cost of things? "The premium cabin from Tokyo to Ito costs about $54 a person."?
Speaking of food, she tells viewers "There is a restaurant cart on board with a selection of food, drinks and limited-edition cookies. But the real luxury is in the types of seats available on Saphir Odoriko. "The best part is the variety of seats available like this epic private cabin that could sit up to six people."?
And if you're looking for basic, you won't find it here. But that's not to be mistaken with a lack of reliable amenities. It's Japan after all. "Even the most basic seat is similar to a shot-haul business class seat," she adds."The entire train is designed for a unique viewing experience and needless to say the bathrooms on trains in Japan are next level!" she says while showing the inside of a super clean, super comfy toilet.
