It costs $10,000 one way and is already sold out until March 2018.

The train also has two observatory cars in which guests can gaze out at the stunning scenery.

The Train Suite Shiki-Shima left Ueno station in Tokyo for a four-day tour of north-east Japan. The train is scheduled to arrive back at Ueno Station on Thursday.

It also homes uniquely designed private suites. Or you can also grab a drink and have a seat by the fire. On a train…

If you desire solitude then rejoice, because the Shiki-Shima will only welcome 34 guests on each trip.
