The Kintetsu Restaurant Train 'Les Saveurs Shima' is set to make its debut in November 2026. This new restaurant train is designed to offer a luxurious journey to the Ise-Shima region, allowing passengers to enjoy a French膳 (French-style meal) while taking in the scenic views from comfortable, spacious seats.
For the outbound leg of the tour, the Kintetsu Restaurant Train 'Les Saveurs Shima' departs from Kintetsu Nagoya Station and travels directly to Kashikojima Station. This route provides a luxurious and convenient way to reach the heart of the Ise-Shima region.
The Kintetsu Restaurant Train 'Les Saveurs Shima' primarily operates between Kintetsu Nagoya Station (Aichi Prefecture) and Kashikojima Station (Mie Prefecture). While Mie Prefecture is geographically situated between the Chubu and Kansai regions, this specific train route focuses on connecting Aichi with the Ise-Shima area within Mie. The return journey utilizes the Kintetsu Sightseeing Express 'Shimakaze' from Ujiyamada Station in Mie to Kintetsu Nagoya.
The Kintetsu Sightseeing Express 'Shimakaze', used for the return journey from Ujiyamada to Kintetsu Nagoya, provides a premium travel experience. It is the first private railway to feature genuine leather seats, offering a high-grade, luxurious space. Each seat is equipped with electric reclining, electric leg rests, and electric air cushions for maximum comfort. Additionally, passengers can enjoy the exclusive café car to enhance their journey.
For a comprehensive sightseeing experience in Ise-Shima, including visits to major attractions like Ise Jingu, coastal exploration, and enjoying local cuisine, a 2-day, 1-night trip is often recommended. This duration allows ample time to enjoy the scenic train rides, indulge in local delicacies such as Anorifugu and fresh seafood, and unwind with a relaxing stay at an Ise-Shima onsen ryokan.
Travelers can conveniently explore Ise Jingu and the wider Ise-Shima region without a car by utilizing the comprehensive Kintetsu railway network. Special sightseeing trains, such as the 'Les Saveurs Shima' and 'Shimakaze' featured in this tour, offer comfortable and scenic transportation options. These trains connect major departure points like Nagoya to key destinations including Ise Jingu and Kashikojima, providing a seamless car-free travel experience.
Multi-day tours to Ise-Shima often combine unique train journeys with rich cultural and culinary experiences. A typical 2-day tour might include a luxurious ride on the new 'Les Saveurs Shima' restaurant train and the premium 'Shimakaze' sightseeing express. Accommodation is often provided at high-quality onsen hotels like Kashikojima Hojoen, complemented by exquisite meals featuring local specialties such as Anorifugu course cuisine and fresh seafood kaiseki.
On a 1-night, 2-day sightseeing tour in Mie Prefecture's Ise-Shima area, visitors can typically explore iconic sites such as the sacred Ise Jingu shrine complex and the picturesque Kashikojima area. The tour also includes opportunities to savor the region's renowned culinary offerings, including fresh Ise lobster sashimi and abalone, along with local delicacies like Anorifugu, while enjoying a relaxing stay at an Ise-Shima onsen.
