A new luxury tourist train service called Les Saveurs Shima will commence operations in central Japan in November, according to Kyodo. The train, operated by Kintetsu Railway Co., will offer one daily round-trip between Kintetsu Nagoya Station in Aichi Prefecture and Kashikojima Station in Shima, located in neighboring Mie Prefecture. Tickets, which include meals, will be priced between 19,000 yen ($119) and 36,000 yen per passenger.
The train boasts a luxurious interior and a blue exterior that draws inspiration from the surrounding sea near the Shima area, as stated by Kintetsu.

Privacy is provided through wood-grain partitions in single and some two-person seats.
Kintetsu's technical management department chief, Yuji Omura, expressed hope that passengers would appreciate an elegant journey while savoring dishes made with local ingredients in a high-quality interior space.
