【日本最大級の車窓】新潟の豪雪地帯を走る 豪華観光列車 えちごトキめき「雪月花」|最高級リゾート列車

This time, I boarded Echigo Tokimeki Resort Train “Setsugekka”, one of Niigata Prefecture’s most luxurious sightseeing trains. Operating only on weekends, with just 1–2 services per day and a maximum capacity of only 38 passengers, this train truly feels like a five-star hotel on rails. Built around the concept of “All Made in NIIGATA,” the interior showcases exquisite local craftsmanship—metalwork from Tsubame-Sanjo, Echigo cedar, and Yasuda roof tiles, all coming together in a breathtaking design. Through one of the largest panoramic train windows in Japan, you’ll witness pristine white snowfields and the dramatic winter waves of the Sea of Japan. On board, enjoy a luxurious three-tier seasonal bento created by the renowned local restaurant Duo Cerezo, filled with the best flavors of Niigata. This is a 3.5-hour journey of pure indulgence—an unforgettable experience not just for railway fans, but for anyone seeking a truly special way to travel. Please watch until the end!
