New Shinkansen Themed After ‘Fantasy Springs’ Called ‘Magical Journey Shinkansen’ to Start Running on October 10th
JR East and Oriental Land are launching a special train vehicle themed after the newly opened ‘Fantasy Springs’ at Tokyo DisneySea, called ‘Magical Journey Shinkansen’, starting from October 10th.
The design of the ‘Fantasy Springs’ includes iconic locations and characters from three Disney movies; ‘Frozen’, ‘Tangled’, and ‘Peter Pan’, portraying the magical world of Disney fantasy led by a magic spring. This marks the first operation of an E5 series Shinkansen fully wrapped in this special design.
It is planned to run mainly as ‘Hayabusa’, ‘Hayate’, ‘Yamabiko’, and ‘Nasuno’ on the Tohoku and Hokkaido Shinkansen lines. The first train will be the ‘Hayabusa No. 2’ from Sendai Station to Tokyo Station. The operation period is scheduled until early June 2025.
