Hello Kitty purrs along with her own bullet train

The interior and seats of the bullet train, to be used for daily round trips between Shin-Osaka Station in Osaka Prefecture and Hakata in Fukuoka Prefecture, will feature Sanrio Co.’s Hello Kitty character, the railway operator said.

The special train, to be decorated with pink ribbons like the character, will be used to promote local attractions and specialty goods, and passengers will have the chance to pose for photos with a big Hello Kitty doll.

The first Hello Kitty train car will introduce areas in western Japan for a limited period of time, starting with Tottori and Shimane prefectures.
