If you are considering a trip to Japan and you have some time to move around beside Tokyo, why not taking a Hello Kitty Shinkansen bullet train exploring a area between Osaka and Hakata area? The Hello Kitty Shinkansen - the cutest bullet train to grace our train tracks thus far - started its service on June 30, 2018. This Kodama train on the Sanyo Shinkansen with the special livery makes one round trip a day between Shin-Osaka and Hakata stations. It is the slowest category of shinkansen and stops at all the stations along the way, including popular destinations like Himeji and Hiroshima. Check this video to see that it looks like inside the Hello Kitty Shinkansen! Explore the interior of Hello Kitty Shinkansen here! There is also a cute, special lunch box called “The Hello Kitty Shinkansen Lunch Box (1,500yen)”! The main course in this lunch box is sukiyaki, and the container is made of earthenware. However, you only can get these at the Awajiya store in Kobe Station, Shin-Kobe Station or Nishi-Akashi Station, and sometimes they are sold out. Therefore, if you really would like to get this special lunch, please make a reservation for it in the morning 3 days before you plan to ride the Shinkansen. ** *The JAPAN RAIL PASS is the most economical means of travelling throughout Japan by rail, offered by the six companies comprising the JR Group.
