All aboard for a pleasure trip to explore the beauty and traditions of Hokuriku

A look inside the car

Design Concept

Based on a concept of "hospitality through Japanese tradition and beauty," the exterior design is inspired by Hokuriku's traditional arts, Wajima-nuri lacquerware and Kaga Yuzen dyeing.

The first car has 8 semi-private compartments, offering a comfortable space for relaxing travel. The aisle is carpeted with a stepping stone pattern in the Japanese garden, and each compartment features a collection of classic Yuzen designs.

The second car features original rotating seats characterized by crimson fabric and a wooden grid in the back, and the aisle depicts flowing water. The interior design incorporates traditional Wajima-nuri lacquerware patterns.

HANAYOME NOREN offers an immersive atmosphere full of Hokuriku's traditions and beauty.
