If you’re heading to the exhibition, you’ll want to catch this special train with livery featuring two iconic Ghibli characters: No Face and Chihiro from the Academy Award-winning film ‘Spirited Away’. You’ll find the duo decorating the exterior of the train as well as on promotional posters within the cars.
Since the Keikyu train runs along a coastal route, it resembles the train in which the two characters ride together during a pivotal part of the film.
The seats in the cars are red, which is also a nice nod to the movie: the seats that Chihiro and No Face sit on in ‘Spirited Away’ are of the same colour.
The Toshio Suzuki and Ghibli Exhibition Train is operating until June 15. For the full train schedule, visit here (in Japanese only).
