JR West to Launch ‘ONE PIECE Shinkansen’ in Spring 2025
JR West will operate the original design ‘ONE PIECE Shinkansen’ on the Sanyo Shinkansen line in collaboration with the TV anime ‘ONE PIECE’.
Using the 8-car Series 700 trainsets, a total of three trainsets will be introduced in succession. The first trainset, known as the ‘Setouchi Blue,’ will start operation in spring 2025. The exterior design is themed around ‘a journey to the Seto Inland Sea,’ featuring a sea-inspired blue design with characters from ONE PIECE, including Luffy. Additionally, content utilizing station spaces and original merchandise will also be available.
The service will run between Shin-Osaka and Hakata stations. Details on the start date and timetable will be announced later.
