Product Info

- Seibu Railway's traveling restaurant train, "52 Seats of Bliss"
The name "52 Seats of Bliss" expresses the "relaxation," "specialness," and "exclusivity" of the time spent on the sightseeing train, which has a capacity of 52 people. Another reason for the name's originality and memorable nature is that it is unique and easy to remember.
Furthermore, the phrase "Seibu Traveling Restaurant" was chosen as a catchphrase to complement the distinctive name "52 Seats of Bliss," and to clearly communicate that it is a sightseeing train operated by Seibu Railway and a restaurant car where customers can enjoy delicious meals.
4-car train
First car: Multipurpose vehicle
Second car: Passenger car (26 seats with a ceiling made of persimmon-dyed Japanese paper)
Third car: Kitchen car with open kitchen space
Fourth car: Passenger car (26 seats with a lattice ceiling made of Nishikawa timber)
The interior design of the car is inspired by nature, such as valleys.
In addition, traditional crafts and locally sourced timber from along the railway line are used in some parts, and Chichibu Meisen silk is used for the partitions between the train interior and the deck (cars 2 and 4).
The ceiling of car number 2 uses persimmon-dyed Japanese paper. The ceiling of car number 4 uses Nishikawa wood.

This tour involves meeting at a Seibu Railway station, boarding the "52 Seats of Bliss" train to Chichibu, and disbanding around Shinjuku on the return journey. Please make your own way to the station.
The operating route for Seibu's traveling restaurant "52 Seats of Bliss" may be subject to change.
Please leave the seating arrangements for the "Seibu Traveling Restaurant" to our discretion. You may be seated with other passengers. Since the train only has seats for 2 or 4 people, bookings for 3 or more people may result in being seated separately.
Intermediate boarding is not permitted between Seibu Shinjuku Station and Seibu Chichibu Station.
In the unlikely event that the steam locomotive (SL) malfunctions (becomes inoperable), an electric locomotive (EL) will be used to pull the passenger cars. If the EL locomotive is also unavailable, the train will operate as a regular train. In that case, the ticket fee will be refunded. The planned route is between Chichibu and Nagatoro, but the route may change depending on congestion and other circumstances. Seating may not be available depending on congestion. This is not a reserved seating service. Please be aware of this in advance.
Delays due to transportation delays, or non-participation, will also be subject to cancellation fees. The tour will depart at the stated departure time.
Customers in odd-numbered groups will be seated with other customers. Please note that we may ask you to share a table with members of the opposite sex.
For safety reasons and to accommodate the needs of tour guides, seats for tour guides are located at the front of the bus.
Due to unexpected road congestion and overcrowding at tourist spots, we may be forced to omit some sightseeing locations, shorten sightseeing times, require bus transfers, or delay our return time.
