New luxury 7 star JR Kyushu train rides around Kyushu

For those opposed to driving in Japan there will be a new luxury train service for touring the island of Kyushu that should be ready for service in 2013. I wouldn't mind trying this.....

That looks like a great way to tour Kyushu. I'm wondering if the artist really expects the men to wear tuxedos though!

I sure wouldn't mind that sort of an introduction to Kyushu either.

I did not know any quality rating firm gave out 7 stars. Who did the rating?

Stan,
No rating just the name. Read the "concept" page for explanation of what the seven stars of Kyushu are

Sorry, hit the enter button too soon.....

The name of the train is derived from the seven prefectures of Kyushu and the fact that the train will be made up of seven cars.

Aloha!
