Success of JR Kyushu's luxury train prompts others to follow suit

People wave from the platform as Kyushu Railway Co.'s luxury "Seven Stars in Kyushu" cruise train departs from Hakata Station in Fukuoka, southwestern Japan, on Aug. 22, 2015. Success of the luxury train, launched in October 2013, in attracting rich retirees and foreign travelers has prompted two other companies of the Japan Railways (JR) group to follow suit with plans to introduce similar train services from spring 2017 on the largest main island of Honshu.
