Ichibansen's Newest Passanger Train Offers an All-Encompassing View

— June 14, 2016 — Autos
Japanese transportation developer Ichibansen is introducing travelers to its newest passenger train concept -- one that offers panoramic views of the country's gorgeous landscape.

Replacing regular windows with cocooned glass panels, this luxury passenger train makes railway trips a more memorable and exclusive experience for all. In addition to its striking views, this train is also elegantly decorated, featuring an interior that is fitted with chic furniture. While the train's cocktail bar area embodies a vintage charm, its dining cabin is home to an authentic French restaurant.

Additionally, the trains' conductor's cabin also embodies a luxe air, allowing for the same impressive and panoramic views that passengers get to experience. Appealing to lovers of luxury, this train makes a traditional mode of travel more experiential for both Japanese locals and first-time travelers.
