Japanese Trains Interiors Are An Epitome Of Style And Class That Surprise Tourists So Much

The Japanese economy saw great improvements since the 1960s. What perfectly depicts the industrious Japanese nature than their highly sophisticated trains. The first modern rail line was opened in 1964 as other limited express trains and overnight trains continued to crisscross the nation.

Japanese sleeper trains reached their peak popularity in the 70s but have since been declining almost to the brink of being wiped out. The country took a fancy in building and expanding a network of bullet trains, domestic air travel, and cheaper night buses. Two particular sleeper trains have stood through the decades of modernization.
