Who has never dreamed of boarding a train to go to the end of the world? In any case, I dream about it, and it can become a reality. Not to go around the world but to visit the south of Japan in unique and exceptional conditions. The Twilight Express Mizukaze is a hotel train just like the Orient Express in its luxury version. Even the name of the train makes us escape. Indeed, the word "Mizukaze" means "fresh wind", a beautiful promise of travel.

This unusual train trip is becoming fashionable and wealthy couples are giving themselves this wonderful gift for their honeymoon. This little wonder opened its doors in June 2017, and is now touring the south of the country. From Kyoto or Osaka, the train continues its journey to Miyajima Island via Onomichi City and finally Kurashiki. So many splendid landscapes to contemplate, so different from each other.

The trip is done in small groups to be able to enjoy all the comforts, since only 30 privileged people can have the chance to board at the same time in private areas, of course. Goodbye to the cramped train cars and hello Le Mizukaze which provides 10 absolute luxury cars including 2 fully glazed observation cars to admire the beauty of this country. In addition, the train is equipped with a lounge car and a restaurant known for its starred chef, Yoshihihiro Murata.
