Season 2 Episode 1: Seven Stars in Kyushu: The Local Revitalizing Cruise Train

In recent years, "tourist trains" have become increasingly popular. With their unique Japanese designs, seasonal on-board cuisine and stopover excursions, more and more people are enjoying Japan's railways. The reason for this boom is the expansion of the Shinkansen network, which has made local regions easier to access and brought a welcome economic boost to the area. Discover the hopes that these tourists trains bring as we take a luxurious trip on the most popular 2 day "cruise train" with Saya Ichikawa, a Japanese model and also an avid railfan who loves riding tourist trains.
