Catch this special Ghibli train in Tokyo with Chihiro and No Face of Spirited Away

Now that the touring Toshio Suzuki and Ghibli Exhibition is taking place at the Yokosuka Museum of Art until June 18, Keihin Kyuko Electric Railway has started operating a special train to help promote the exhibition and transport people between Tokyo and Kanagawa.

The Toshio Suzuki and Ghibli Exhibition Train is now running on the Keikyu main line between Sengakuji and Yokohama stations as well as on the Keikyu Kurihama line from Yokohama Station to Misakiguchi Station.

If you’re heading to the exhibition, you’ll want to catch this special train with livery featuring two iconic Ghibli characters: No Face and Chihiro from the Academy Award-winning film ‘Spirited Away’. You’ll find the duo decorating the exterior of the train as well as on promotional posters within the cars.

Since the Keikyu train runs along a coastal route, it resembles the train in which the two characters ride together during a pivotal part of the film.  

The seats in the cars are red, which is also a nice nod to the movie: the seats that Chihiro and No Face sit on in ‘Spirited Away’ are of the same colour.

The Toshio Suzuki and Ghibli Exhibition Train is operating until June 15. For the full train schedule, visit here (in Japanese only).
