『The Skytree Train』

            Caught by sheer chance, Tobu's Skytree Train makes its early morning appearance as it heads north on the day's weekend excursion service from Asakusa, Tokyo to Nikko, as it slows for its next stop at Tokyo Skytree Station.

The Tobu Railway employes one 4 car set of the 6050 series, a rare EMU that has all but vanished on the Tobu Railway. This train is aimed at domestic tourists, offering a level of service similar to Amtrak's Superliners. With large seats (half facing the towards the windows), large panoramic windows, and a light on board refreshment service, it's slightly different from their other limited express trains they operate. They operate most weekends and holidays during the peak periods like Golden Week or Obon but are sporadic after that. How fortuitous, I suppose!
