East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and Oriental Land Co., Ltd. will operate a special train, the “Magical Jubilee Shinkansen,” on the Tohoku and Hokkaido Shinkansen lines starting June 10.
This special train (one E5 series set) is themed on the anniversary event currently being held at Tokyo DisneySea, “Tokyo DisneySea 25th Anniversary ‘Sparkling Jubilee.’” Service will begin with the Hayabusa No. 2, departing from Sendai Station and bound for Tokyo Station on June 10, and is scheduled to run until around early March 2027.
The design is based on “Jubilee Blue,” the Tokyo DisneySea 25th anniversary theme color inspired by the many charms of the sea. It features Mickey Mouse and his Disney friends dressed in special costumes for the anniversary event, along with DisneySea’s iconic symbols such as the DisneySea AquaSphere and Mount Prometheus.
For the first time on a JR East Shinkansen, the headrests on the seats will be decorated. The seat curtains and interior stickers will also feature special designs, creating a festive atmosphere throughout the entire train.
