Our Japan Trip 24
Hinotori Limited Express provides an excellent and luxurious alternate service on the busy route between Nagoya and Osaka. This ride takes about two hours, which is more than double the time it takes for the Shinkansen to ply the same route.
It is clear that Kintetsu intends for passengers to enjoy their time on board. Various taglines adorn the railway’s information cards and onboard signage; these urge passengers to “enjoy a relaxing time on board” and avail of “upgraded relaxation” and “dignity and elegance”. The Hinotori offers both a Premium class of service as well as a standard class.
