The Wonderful Dreams Shinkansen: a magical Disney train in Japan

Japan is famous for its Shinkansen high-speed trains, which combine performance, comfort and exceptional design. In 2025, an unprecedented collaboration between Tokyo Disney Resort and JR Central Railways will give birth to the Wonderful Dreams Shinkansen, a high-speed train in Disney colors that promises to enchant passengers on the Tokaido Shinkansen line.


Prior to the Wonderful Dreams Shinkansen, JR Central had already collaborated with Disney to launch the Magical Journey Shinkansen. This special train, launched in 2023 in Tohoku and Hokkaido to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Tokyo Disney Resort, featured a festive design with Mickey and friends.

The project was a huge success, attracting both Disney fans and Shinkansen enthusiasts. The Wonderful Dreams Shinkansen follows on from this initiative, offering a new, even more immersive experience in line with Tokyo DisneySea's expansion.
