This is the train by which the Japanese rich dudes travel. We have seen the worlds most luxurious train earlier, but this one comes from Japan whose residents know how to redefine luxury and technology.
The Hokutosei runs the 1215 km from Ueno Station in Tokyo to Sapporo Station in Hokkaido, and back again, daily. There is a special limited express called the Hokutosei Yumekukan (Hokutosei Space to Dream) which includes the spacious “Excellent Suite”, with en-suite bathtub. This is one of only three trains in the world with a private sleeping compartment boasting its own bathtub. It is also the most expensive private sleeping compartment on any train in Japan.
So now this makes me curious. If anyone knows the other two trains, be sure to let me know.
