Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) and Oriental Land Co., Ltd. will operate a special Tokaido Shinkansen train set, the “Sparkling Dreams Shinkansen,” themed on Tokyo DisneySea’s 25th anniversary event “Sparkling Jubilee,” starting June 19.
The train will consist of one N700A series train set. Its exterior will be based on the event’s theme color, “Jubilee Blue,” and will depict Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale, Duffy, and ShellieMay in their special 25th anniversary costumes standing in the eight themed ports of Tokyo DisneySea.
Inside the train, original-design headrest covers and table stickers will be featured (Green Cars and Car No. 7, the “S Work Car,” are excluded). The Sparkling Jubilee theme song “Come Join the Jubilee” will be used as the onboard melody. At some stations and other locations, collaboration-themed photo spots and similar installations will be set up.
The first run will be Hikari No. 632 on June 19, departing Nagoya Station at 6:45 a.m. and arriving at Tokyo Station at 8:42 a.m. On the same day, it will subsequently operate as Kodama No. 811, Kodama No. 832, and Hikari No. 655. From the following day onward, it will mainly run as Hikari and Kodama services between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka Stations. The operating schedule will be announced sequentially on the website and other channels. The planned operating period is until around mid-March 2027.
This will be the second special-livery Shinkansen operated through collaboration between the two companies, following the “Wonderful Dreams Shinkansen” in 2025.
