Hello Kitty Bullet Trains In Japan
Hello Kitty Bullet Trains In Japan: There are two things that will never get old in Japan. Hello Kitty — Sanrio’s adorable mouthless character — and bullet trains.
Putting Hello Kitty over any anime character, Japan will be releasing its first Hello kitty themed bullet train which will operate on the “Sanyo Shinkansen Line”. But the wait is scheduled for June 30.
Featuring eight 500-series cars to ensemble with bows and pinks, West Japan Railway Company website mentions that the theme is decided in hopes of strengthening ties between the regions it connects.
Fun part is, the train doesn’t only come with a hello kitty exterior but every nook and corner of its interior takes after the theme – where the car number one, named the Kawaii! Room, will feature a large Hello Kitty doll as well as a photo booth, designed for passengers to take selfies.
Another car, called the Hello! Plaza, will have no passenger seats and instead will feature a souvenir shopping area – others, a rest area and a video-viewing area. Hello! Plaza, will be dedicated to exhibitions showcasing various regional products and attractions. Passengers can buy souvenirs and specialty products here too.
Although the Hello kitty train will travel for a limited time, it will make its way through fun cities like Osaka, Hiroshima, Kobe and Okayama and Fukuoka – making stops at each station between Shin-Osaka and Hakata.
It will also play the Hello Kitty theme jingle as it nears stations.
Travelers hoping to board the Hello Kitty Shinkansen can find the timetable on a website dedicated to the special train.
Passengers can ride the train with a regular train ticket, purchased in advance or on the day of the travel.
A special Hello Kitty café (open on June 1) and a souvenir shop (open on June 30) selling exclusive merchandises related to Hello Kitty Shinkansen will open at Hakata Station.
