East Japan Railway Company (JR EAST) and Oriental Land Co. (owners of Tokyo Disney Resort) will launch a Fantasy Springs-themed bullet train this month.
Fantasy Springs Bullet Train
The “Magical Journey Shinkansen” will run for a limited period starting October 10, 2024. This marks the first time an E5 Series Shinkansen will be fully wrapped in a special design. The concept art shows a blue, green, and purple wrap featuring Fantasy Springs characters and imagery.
Special window shades will also feature imagery representing the three Fantasy Springs areas: Frozen Kingdom, Rapunzel’s Forest, and Peter Pan’s Never Land. The train will play melodies based on the port.
The train will run between Tokyo and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto. It will mainly be in operation as the “Hayabusa,” “Hayate,” “Yamabiko” and “Nasuno” trains. It’s tentatively scheduled to be in service through the beginning of June 2025.

A Fantasy Springs-themed airplane is also launching this month.
Fantasy Springs is the eighth themed port of Tokyo DisneySea at Tokyo Disney Resort. It opened on June 6, 2024, and is split into three areas inspired by “Frozen,” “Tangled,” and “Peter Pan.” Each area includes a signature ride and dining venue. The land’s gift shop is located in the in-park Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel. Check out our review of Fantasy Springs and full guide to the land.
