【Tokyo】SAPHIR Odoriko Sightseeing Train: A Luxurious Journey from Tokyo to Izu

Tokyo Station is one of Japan's most important transportation hubs, with many special trains departing from or passing through here. For this trip to Ito, we decided to depart from Tokyo Station and take the JR East 'SAPHIR Odoriko' sightseeing train 🚝. The name of the train means 'sapphire' in French 💎, which not only describes the train's appearance but also evokes the beautiful blue ocean and sky of the Izu region. The train features a streamlined E261 series design, with a simple and stylish exterior. The entire train consists of 8 carriages but has only 164 seats, ensuring that each passenger can enjoy a spacious and comfortable ride 😙. We booked a single seat in the PREMIUM GREEN top-class business cabin of Car 1. The seats here are extremely comfortable, equipped with charging outlets and can rotate 360 degrees, allowing us to adjust the best viewing angle at any time. The backrest and footrest are adjustable, making the long journey more enjoyable. Through the large windows, the beautiful scenery outside is unobstructed, making us feel delighted 😌. We chose to get off at Atami Station to match our next itinerary. Of course, passengers can also get off at Ito or other JR stations according to their needs, enjoying flexible travel options.
