The train, operated by East Japan Railway, can take only 34 passengers on each trip, which only adds to its exclusivity.

The train was designed by Ken Kiyoyuyki, formerly a senior designer for Porsche and General Motors.

But if you're thinking of getting a spot now, you're out of luck, because tickets have been fully booked until March 2018.

Guess you'll just have to make do with the pictures for now.
