Train nerds who also love a little bit of kawaii in their lives will soon be jumping out of their seats for the arrival of the limited edition, bright red Keikyu Rilakkuma Train. Keikyu is one of Japan's private railway operators running through Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture, and in this first ever Keikyu and Rilakkuma collaboration, Japan’s beloved laid back bear will be taking over the trains to send travelers to destinations far and wide. The collaboration will only be through August 1st to September 30th, 2016, making the arrival of this Rilakkuma train all the more exciting!

Though the train will not be running on a fixed time schedule, commuters who happen to come across it will be welcomed into a red train adorned inside out with Rilakkuma and his friends. The adorable presence of the Sanrio character is sure to make even the dullest train rides enjoyable.
