bill937ca Posted Monday at 08:28 AM Share Posted Monday at 08:28 AM The luxury sleeper train Cassiopeia, which once connected Tokyo’s Ueno Station with Hokkado’s Sapporo Station, is set to make its final run this June before being fully retired, according to sources at East Japan Railway Co. Due to the aging of the cars the train is being retired. https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/society/general-news/20250329-246003/ 1 Link to comment
kami_illy Posted Monday at 09:07 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:07 AM (edited) Oh no, I'll be missing it by just a few weeks (I'll be in Tokyo in August). What a pity, I was wanting to see that beautiful train once for real. Didn't catch it in previous travels... Edited Monday at 09:08 AM by kami_illy Link to comment
