Commuting cannot get any more stylish than this! While we
have seen, and heard of many luxury trains, almost none come close to Japan’s
new wonder- the Shiki- Shima luxury sleeper that spells fancy on the tracks and
beyond!
The luxe train that began its journey on May 1st from Tokyo
to the northern island of Hokkaido is a spell-binding fleet of opulence that
comes fully equipped with a bar, two-storey suites and exotic cypress tree
bathtubs.
Designed by Ken Kiyoyuyki (a former creative resource for
Porsche and General Motors), the luxury train can carry only 34 passengers at
once for a price that only those many can afford!
A voyage on board the Shiki-Shima express will cost you Euro 4.000 ($4400) for a normal suite to Euro 8.500 ($9300) for a 3D/2N stay in the premium suite.
For a price that hefty though, the train offers its
passengers a ride of their lifetime with memories that can make all other
journeys thereafter look depressingly mediocre!
The ultra-luxurious train includes ten carriages that boast
of two full-blown observatories, a lounge and a dining room. Obviously enough,
you can expect to savor some the best of delicacies while on board, served to
you by a staff that is well-trained and delightfully courteous.
If you have $ 10,000 to spend and wish yourself a voyage
onboard the Shiki-Shima, que up to book a spot now! Sadly, though, you will
need wait longer than expected as tickets for this opulent train ride have been
fully booked until March 2018.
