All aboard!

The West Japan Railway Company are the genius folk behind this beautiful ride – which will run between Osaka and Fukuoka – stopping at major cities in between. 

The train – called the Hello Kitty Shinkansen – is due to make its debut trip on 30 June, 2018.

As you can see, it’s decorated within an inch of its Hello Kitty life, and features a variety of themed cars and zones where pussy-cat obsessed passengers can elevate their kawaii (that’s “cute” in Japanese!) experience to a whole other level of peak pink.

“In one car, called the Hello! Plaza, there’ll be an exhibition area and gift shop,” Metro UK reports, “When the train approaches a station, the usual jingle you’d hear will be replaced with a Hello Kitty theme song.” Imagine it! We so neeeeeded a different jingle, didn’t we?!
