Yamaguchi Prefecture (Hagi, Nagato, Shimonoseki), the westernmost prefecture in Honshu, has a history of bringing Japan and the West together. The exterior is decorated with the "sea that connected the West and Japan" spanning two cars, and the "summer orange flower" and the "Japanese spindle tree" as flowers that have watched over the history of this region.
The interiors of the two cars were designed separately based on the concept of "Japan (Western) yearning for the West (Western) and Japan (Japanese) yearning for the West (Japanese).
The large windows offer a spectacular view of the cobalt blue of the Sea of Japan!
