YOKOHAMA, Jan 17 (Bernama-Kyodo) -- Enoshima Electric Railway Co., known for scenic coastal views along its route and for a railroad crossing featured in the popular manga and anime series "Slam Dunk," unveiled a new train on Friday that will start operating in spring.
According to Kyodo News, the train, a 700 series model, had some of its baggage racks removed and its seats rearranged, and its hanging straps adjusted so passengers can enjoy views of the sea from any seat.
The railway runs between Fujisawa and Kamakura, a popular destination for foreign tourists, both in the southern part of Kanagawa Prefecture near Tokyo.
Satoshi Kuroda, president of the railway firm, said he hopes passengers will enjoy the experience of riding the train against a scenic backdrop.
It marks the first new train introduced by the company in about 20 years.
