Last year, a Hello Kitty theme bullet train service began in Japan. This year, an airport express train does likewise.
As Japan Trends reports, the train is a Hello Kitty-covered Haruka Direct Express train that transports travellers from Kyoto to Kansai International Airport.
The outside is Hello Kitty themed and inside walls are tastefully decorated with the famous feline.

Service started this week, with trainspotters snapping pics and video.
