☆★☆This is what it was actually like!☆★☆
【West Express Ginga (Premier Room)】
* The power of the magnet on the door of the room was too strong.
* It was fun to spread the bed sheets on the seat and make the bed.
* The security was safe because it was a private room with a lock.
* There were also beds and toilets for people in wheelchairs.
* Our sightseeing train ran so slow that it was overtaken by local trains.
* Free Wi-Fi was also available.
* They used to sell only package tours, but recently they have started selling one-way tickets as well.
