Day 02 (Wed, 26 Sep)
Kyoto – Okayama
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: On board Twilight Express Mizukaze
 
Begin your journey on the luxury train Twilight Express Mizukaze today. Built on the concept of “superior quality with a touch of nostalgia”, the former sleeper train, Twilight Express, has been redesigned into a luxury train boasting sophisticated design, posh interiors, haute cuisine and the comfort of a hotel. Travelling round the Sanyo and Sanin coast, breathtaking views can be seen outside of your room window or from observation cars as you coast along the scenic route.
 
Not only will you marvel at the idyllic scenery from the train, planned stopovers allow you to enjoy the local sights and offerings at each area too. The first stop will be at Okayama, home to one of Japan’s three great gardens, Korakuen. The carefully curated garden combines aspects of nature into a picture-perfect scene, backed by the ‘borrowed scenery’ of Okayama Castle. The best view of the garden is designed to be had from Enyotei, a villa exclusively opened to the passengers of Mizukaze to enjoy the view.

Day 03 (Thu, 27 Sep)
Okayama – Unnan
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

Wake up to the beautiful Sea of Japan as the train makes its way along the Orii Coast. Visiting the Unnan area today, you will be treated to a performance of Izumo Kagura, a traditional dance telling the stories of myths and historical events that is performed for the gods of the shrine. Explore the tranquil beauty of Suga Shrine, Japan’s first shrine and the birthplace of waka poetry, before having a relaxing cup of green tea at Meimei-an Teahouse.
 
Dining on board the Mizukaze will be an experience in itself. A spacious dining car with an open kitchen allows you to see your meals being prepared fresh on the train, even as you admire the scenery that passes by. Delicious creations by top chefs from renowned restaurants are guaranteed to tantalise your palate and bring fine dining to you.

The final stop on your train journey will be at Higashihama. Visit the Uradome Coast, a Global Geopark with dramatic cliffs, caves and rocks that emerge from the ocean. Aside from admiring nature’s beauty on the scenic coast, you will also see a seine fishing demonstration on the beach. Have lunch at a restaurant along the coast and take in the sights of the sea as you savour a delectable meal before embarking on the final leg of your train journey.
