Seven Stars in Kyushu is a special excursion sleeper train (cruise train) operated by the Japanese company JR Kyushu.

Seven Stars in Kyushu started operating on October 15, 2013, and aims to travel around Kyushu and enjoy nature, food, hot springs, history, etc.

The train names are based on the seven prefectures of Kyushu (Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Oita, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima) and the seven main tourist attractions of Kyushu (nature, food, hot springs, history, culture, power spots, humanity) and a 7-car passenger car.

JR Kyushu considers this vehicle to be an "adult space," so tour participants are limited to junior high school students and above. The dress code in the common areas of the vehicle is "smart casual" and jeans and sandals are prohibited. Smoking is completely prohibited inside the train, and there are no TVs in the private sleeper rooms.

As of spring 2017, the number of applicants is approximately 22 times, and the number of repeat customers is 5 times, making it famous as a difficult train to book.

Seven Stars in Kyushu received the Brunel Prize in 2014 and the Prime Minister's Award at the 1st Japan Service Awards in 2016. In 2021, it won first place in the train category of the "Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards 2021'' conducted by the American travel magazine "Condé Nast Traveler''. It also took first place in 2022 and 2023, making it the third consecutive year it has won the world's best award.

As it enters its 10th year in 2022, some parts will be renewed. Cars 2, 3, 4, and 6 have been renovated, with the number of rooms reduced by 2 in car 3, and 1 room each in cars 4 and 6, from 14 to 10, and the capacity to accommodate 20 to 28 people.

Japanese luxury trains are in another league 🏆

[wendellworth]

At $6000 a night, I would have to be crowned Emperor of Japan at the end of that train ride.

[ОксанаБахтина-щп]

Красиво! Но дорого! Если есть возможность, то разок можно было бы прокатиться! Автору спасибо, что показали! Ещё раз- красиво!

[yindyamarra]

That the quietest diesel engine I’ve ever heard, brilliant looking train, I love the vid

[hkycgpj]

لقد ثادفنى هذا الفيديو بالصدفة وانا ابحث على الشاحنات
لاكن عندما فتختة وجدتة ان هذا الفيديو المضئ على اليوتيوب بالصدفة واتيحت لى الفرصة للتعرف
على اروع قطار فخم وكأنه قطار الذعماء ونااجملة شاهدتة فى حياتى
التصميم والاصوات والطعام والموقف تجاة الركاب الاثرياء كل شئ سحرى ومغرى لقد استمتعت حقا بالمشاهدتة بالتفصيل هو هى شكرا جذيلا لحضرتكم جدا ‏‪0:27‬‏ ‏‪0:27‬‏ ❤❤❤❤

Gorgeous train a little reminiscent of 30s modernist trains but just extremely beautiful.

[isonliu]

Another excellent sharing on lux trains, thanks!

[ahumanbeing]

There are quite some negative comments about this luxury Japanese train. There complaints touched upon everything, including a complaint about the lack a Jacuzzi. I think these "judges" might have forgotten that they were looking at something in Japan. From the Meiji Restoration till now, instead of complete Westernization, the Japanese have always strived to preserve their culture. This luxury train, Seven Stars, is a manifestation of that effort. Everything on the Seven Stars exudes not only luxury, but also a touch of Japanese aesthetics. It is a reflection of how the Japanese think luxury should be.

$6000 per night - that is pricey, but that price includes not only accommodation, but also the lavish meals and drinks. A standard room in the most exclusive and luxurious hotel in Tokyo costs almost $5000 per night during peak season. Certainly, the Seven Stars is not for everyone, but when you consider how much a standard one-night stay at Japan's luxury hotels may cost, $6000 per night on Seven Stars, which includes food and drinks, is not unreasonable.

Thanks for sharing the video!

[ehabpepo]

[vadimcoachnovoross]

Насколько я далёк от такой жизни… Наверное настолько же, насколько автор видео далек от моей жизни 😊 Но мне это не мешает оценить всю грандиозность такой поездки. Эстетическое наслаждение продуманными деталями всего этого мероприятия - понятно любому мыслящему человеку! Спасибо за видео 🙏

[wendycook]

The train is absolutely beautiful, made me think of The Titanic. I'd not want to travel alone but I imagine it's a beautiful experience to share with a loved one. ❤

[pili]

[joemontano]

Can't believe I've never heard of this train - *looks remarkable!*

[miriam]

Merci pour cette magnifique vidéo sur ce train qui est un véritable ambassadeur du Japon de l'art culinaire et de l'artisanat haut de gamme du Japon ! Je n'aurais certainement pas la chance de vivre une pareille expérience mais c'est une chance de voyager grâce à vous ! Moi je ne sais pas ce que c'est le luxe à part dans les films et en photos comme l'Orient express d'agatha christie .
Merci et bravo !

[zekelucente]

It’s always been a dream of mine to travel on one of the great railway cars.

[ritaking]

I’m afraid the food was a let down. Beautiful train.
