Come spring 2017, a new Japanese luxury train will be unveiled from Ferrari Designer Ken Okuyama with JR East called Cruise Train. The 34-passenger locomotive will have 10 cars including two lead cars with glass walls and observation areas, a dining car and a lounge car. Spending ¥5 billion (around USD $50 million) on the project, the train will feature a two-story deluxe suite car with two beds and tatami mats on the second floor, and five additional sleeper cars. No word yet on the ticket prices for this uber-luxe vessel, but based on the seven-star Nanatsuboshi, you can most likely expect to spend a pretty penny to experience this new train.
