In an exciting development for train enthusiasts and Disney fans alike, two specially themed Shinkansen are now in operation. The ‘Wonderful Dreams Shinkansen’ travels along the Tokaido Shinkansen line from February to September 2025, while the ‘Magical Journey Shinkansen’ operates on the Tohoku and Hokkaido Shinkansen lines from October 2024 to June 2025. These trains are not only a marvel of Japanese engineering but also a tribute to the magic of Disney, incorporating delightful designs and themes that enchant passengers.
The Tokaido Shinkansen is a key transport artery in Japan, connecting major cities like Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. The ‘Wonderful Dreams Shinkansen’, featuring the N700A series, brings Disney’s wonderland to life with charming visuals and a unique travel experience along this historic route.
Similarly, the E5 series ‘Magical Journey Shinkansen’ offers an enchanting journey through the scenic landscapes of northeastern Japan. The Tohoku and Hokkaido lines provide breathtaking views, and the addition of a Disney theme makes the experience even more special. This collaboration between Disney and the Shinkansen operators brings a touch of fairy tale magic to Japan’s iconic bullet trains.
