East Japan Railway says it will launch a new overnight express train connecting Tokyo with the northeastern Tohoku region in the spring of 2027.
The new train will have private compartments with fully reclining seats for individuals or groups up to four.
The service will depart Tokyo at 9 p.m. to arrive at Aomori Station at 9 a.m. the following morning. The company is converting an express train running on Tokyo's Joban Line into the ten-car overnighter.
The name of the train, the fare, and the frequency of the service has yet to be decided.
The service comes as the company this month will retire its "Cassiopeia" sleeper express that connects Tokyo to Hokkaido.
East Japan Railway President and CEO Kise Yoichi said, "We will provide passengers with a totally new idea of a night trip that can be experienced with private compartments."
He added that he hopes the new service will lead to an increase in foreign visitors to the Tohoku region.
