Introduction to the Hokuriku Shinkansen

The train, based on the concept of "The Future of Japan," combines traditional Japanese beauty with the functional beauty of the latest technology, and is sprinkled with the essence of "wa," the traditional Japanese beauty. We will introduce the attention to detail that has been given to the exterior design and even the interior.

The design is suited to the train's high speed of 260km/h and uses traditional colors such as "copper color" which Image the traditional Japanese crafts of copperware and inlay, "blue color" which expresses the blue of the skies that spread along the line, and "ivory white" which expresses Japanese elegance.

The interior has been designed to give passengers a chic, adult atmosphere while still feeling the excitement of the journey. The seat pitch is also more spacious than on previous Nagano Shinkansen trains.

Based on the concept of "sophistication" that strikes a chord with adults and "relaxation and freedom" for the mind and body, we have incorporated traditional Japanese beauty with a modern sensibility to create an atmosphere of calm and elegance.
