I would love to ride this, but damn that's expensive

Looks like a spacecraft in the old 80's movie Dune.

"Japan's latest super-deluxe train" But the train color wasn't.
The Train color should be changed to Red and White or Blue and White or Green and White. The Forest Green color look like refurbished old Train in outside.

If I had the money, I would not mind to spend it for the 3 day experience. It sounds really enjoyable.

I'd probably go with 'pure wind'.

That's one ugly train.

Pretty darn cool if you ask me! No way I can afford to travel on it but hey one can dream!
Also, Is it me? or does the end of that thing look like a samurai helmet?

Who doesn't agree with capitalism here?
Do you mean here on this site, or here in Japan? Either way, I don't.

Who doesn't agree with capitalism here? They can spend their own money in whatever way they want unless it harms other's right. Can't they?

The only good parts are that relaxing zing as the first beer hits, and the gorgeous Japanese scenery. I get all of that on the 5-hour Hakata to Miyazaki trip for less than 14000 yen.

I would if (and likely will when) I had the disposable income to be able to afford it. Luxury travel is a great thing, and a few days in a nice suite on a train going seeing Japan would be awesome.
Some people have a lot of money, I don't see what that relation has to do with sense.

This all about attracting the overseas $ by having high class travel with panoramic views as they travel at a pace that gives time to take in the views in luxury its a one in a lifetime event for a very few not so well off but a memory never to be forgoton.

You know you have too damned much money when you are paying $7000 a night for anything
Disillusioned
It's a train FFS! Who in their right mind would pay 25 grand for two nights in a train? Some people have more money than sense!
