Mickey Mouse Helps Unveil the Fantasy Springs-Themed Bullet Train in Japan
Disney fans in Japan will soon be able to travel in style when the Wonderful Dreams Shinkansen begins operation on February 21.
The Disney-themed shinkansen bullet trail will transport guests from Tokyo and Osaka and draws inspiration from Tokyo DisneySea’s Fantasy Springs, which opened last June.
Operated by JR Central, the Wonderful Dreams Shinkansen is adorned with characters from Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan. In total, the train is made up of 16 cars, each of which features a Disney image on the outside.

The new train marks the first time in the 60-year history of the Tokaido Shinkansen that every train car has a unique design.
Insid the train, passengers can hear “I See the Light” from Tangled. Other interior touches will include Fantasy Springs-themed headrests and table stickers.
