Vol.6 ~Kintetsu Limited Express Hinotori~

"Hinotori" was introduced by Kinki Nippon Railway (Kintetsu) between Osaka Namba and Nagoya in 2020.
A new limited express train featuring vivid metallic red cars.

Among the Meihan limited express that connects Osaka and Nagoya,
Called the ``Kou Limited Express'', it is a limited express that has few stops among the Meihan Limited Express and emphasizes express delivery.
In addition, it is also used for the Hanna Limited Express (a limited express that runs between Osaka Namba and Nara) during morning and night commuting hours.

In July of this year, it entered the Yamada/Shima/Toba Line for the first time, and a trial run was carried out between Osaka and Ise-Shima (Kashikojima Station).
In the future, it seems that it will also be used for tours!

Hinotori is"Relaxing Upgrade"is made as a concept.

There are two types of seats: regular seats and premium seats.

In the premium vehicle, all seats are equipped with Japan's first back shell (a mechanism in which the backrest slides forward and collapses).Even if you recline it to the maximum, you can rest comfortably without disturbing other passengers.

For those who have used the Shinkansen when traveling between Osaka and Nagoya,
It might be a good idea to take some time off and enjoy a comfortable trip.

By all means, please try riding "Hinotori" once.
