This Japanese ultra luxury train is equipped with full bar, two-storey suites, and bathtubs made from cypress trees, JR East’s Shiki-Shima luxury sleeper train might just be the fanciest way to travel — but the ticket will cost you $10,000 each but this is the price of luxury and style.
The Shiki-Shima made its maiden voyage on May 1, from Tokyo to the northern island of Hokkaido.
Tickets start from around $4400 for a normal suite to $9300 for a 3D2N stay in the premium suite.

East Japan Railway is operating this train and can take only 34 passengers on each trip, which only adds to its exclusivity.
The train was designed by Ken Kiyoyuyki, formerly a senior designer for Porsche and General Motors.
If you want to get some tickets for this style machine then sadly you are out of luck because the train is fully booked until March 2018.
