A luxury train is set to enter service in central Japan with a dedicated dining car focused on French cuisine. The aim is to offer travelers an exclusive experience that blends top-level comfort with scenic routes.
The project fits into Japan’s growing premium tourism strategy, which is becoming increasingly important for rail operators as well. For overseas visitors, including Italians, it offers a different way to discover the country: slower, more refined and as much about the journey as the destination.
