Production Notes
JR Kyushu’s D&S (Design & Story) trains are sightseeing trains that offer passengers more than scenic views from the windows. They provide unique experiences that go beyond those of ordinary trains, including distinctive train designs and onboard gourmet dining.
The “A-Train” running between Kumamoto and Misumi is designed around the concept of “a journey for adults,” featuring a design inspired by Nanban culture. Vibrant stained glass artworks add color and character to the train’s interior.
