Japan is getting a Hello Kitty bullet train next month

By Citizen Reporter

In news that will likely have Sanrio fans frothing at the mouth, Japan is set to debut its first Hello Kitty-themed bullet train next month.

According to a report on SonraNews24, the special edition train hits the rails on June 30th this year, and will ferry passengers on round trips connecting Osaka and Fukuoka.

The 500-series shinkansen comes completely decked out in Hello Kitty regalia, featuring pink bows and ribbons as its exterior decal.

Inside, passengers will have a variety of different Hello Kitty-themed carriages to explore, including the ‘Kawaii! Room’, which featured a Hello Kitty photo booth and the “Hello! Plaza” carriage, in which passengers can buy merchandise, learn about attractions of the towns they’re passing through and take selfies with a massive Hello Kitty statue.

The train will also have pink floors, pink armrests and, naturally, more pictures of Hello Kitty than you can shake a stick at.

If you want more details on the train, head over to its official site.
