Cars/ Rooms
The Train Suite Shiki-Shima features ten cars with a capacity of thirty-four passengers. Six cars house and seventeen rooms, each lavishly decorated in contemporary Japanese style. The rooms include western style beds, as well as traditional Japanese tables and seating. The suite includes a bath constructed of Japanese cypress. The remaining four cars are designated for dining, a lounge, and sightseeing cars for viewing the scenery. The aptly named “glass train” has floor to ceiling windows along the carriages.

Lounge Komorebi [Car 5]:
Lounge Komorebi, the entrance of the Train Suite Shiki-shima, where a cosy corner of sofas awaits them. This car is home to Lounge Komorebi (LOUNGE こもれび), where guests can relax and unwind.
Lounge Komorebi is also a home to the train’s drink bar, where guests can enjoy an original cocktail or light meal. With the exception of meal service hours, dedicated staff are always on standby at the bar counter.

Dining Shiki-shima [Car 6]
Located in Car 6, the dining car Dining Shiki-shima (DININGしきしま) looks like an elegant, fine-dining restaurant, with most seats situated by the window and offering fantastic views. Its centrepiece is the exclusively designed chandelier, which emits a soft light that creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere and complements the wooden furnishings. Combined with the gentle rumbling of the train as it runs along its route, a meal in on the Train Suite Shiki-shima is simply unforgettable.

Shiki-shima Suite Room [Car 7]
Car 7, Shiki-shima Suite Room is the priciest and most luxurious of all the room types. The Suite is a maisonette-type room with the beds on the lower level and a tatami living room space on the upper level. Situated right next to the windows, the tatami resting space offers a relaxing vibe and great views of the passing surroundings, and even has a heater to keep guests warm in the chillier months.

Deluxe Suite Room [Car 7]
Located next to the Shiki-shima Suite, the stylish and elegant Deluxe Suite located at car 7, features high ceilings, large windows, and a fireplace. For safety reasons, the fireplace is an artificial one with no real flames, but it still provides the heat, sound, and glow that a real fireplace would.

Suite Room [Car 2, 3, 4, 8, 9]
The Train Suite Shiki-shima’s 15 Suite rooms are spread out over car 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9, with three rooms in each car. Around each room, guests will find that the décor and furniture have been meticulously crafted and curated, incorporating delicate designs and traditional Japanese craftsmanship in a modern way. For example, each Suite room is finely furnished with wall panels that use rare Joboji lacquer from Iwate Prefecture, and wooden closets are designed to resemble traditional chests from Sendai City. All Suite rooms are equipped with a shower and a toilet, and like the Deluxe Suites, sofas are transformed into beds at night.

View Terrace Kizashi and View Terrace Ibuki [Car 1, 10]
Car 1 and 10 are the observatory Cars, where guests can enjoy the breathtaking and diverse views of the idyllic countryside, lush forests, and sparkling sea while staying on the train. Enjoying these constantly changing views during different seasons is one of the attractions of a trip on Train Suite Shiki-shima, and the best place to enjoy these views are from the observation spaces: View Terrace Kizashi (VIEW TERRACEきざし) and View Terrace Ibuki (VIEW TERRACEいぶき).
