It was made when Japan had the bubble economy, but was never used for regular service, as it was too expensive. Unfortunately (or not), the train retired from service on March 2008. We won't have another bath-train until we have another bubble economy. Hokutosei, BTW, is much cheaper and still on service. Yumekukan was a good old dream of 1990s.

The whole of Japan is slightly smaller than California in area, but I would hazard a guess that it has more train lines that any other country in the world. I'm not sure that is actually a good thing, but it is what it is. By the way, the price of this particular train compartment is 105,220 yen. Sorry, in my post the yen mark somehow ended up as a slash. Parkmount,

Would passengers need running along the train to enjoy open space? Hey Eric, what’s the point? Would passengers need running along the train to enjoy open space?
