Product Description

──The long-awaited product of JR East's [Hokutosei] all-room lobby car [Oha 25 500] with a new mold! The range of formations will be expanded.

[Product Introduction]
The 24 Series Sleeper Express Hokutosei was introduced in 1988 to coincide with the opening of the Seikan Tunnel connecting Honshu and Hokkaido as a sleeper express train running between Ueno and Sapporo.It was well received for its hotel-like service, and at its peak three round trips were operated.
The passenger cars used on the Hokutosei came in many different styles and with a variety of equipment, among which the Oha25 500 series was a lobby car belonging to JR East, with four cars appearing between 1988 (Showa 63) and 1989 (Heisei 1).
The exterior features a meteor design, and the interior features a lobby area, shower rooms, and vending machines, making it a luxurious train.

The lineup is extensive, allowing you to enjoy the various formations of the HO 24 Series Sleeper Express [Hokutosei].
By combining it with the newly released Oha25 500 series, you can enjoy the formation of Hokutosei No. 3 and No. 4 from the era when the Hokutosei made two round trips (1999-2006).
In addition, a two-car set of Ohane 24 and Sushi 24 will also be released at the same time, allowing you to recreate your favorite formation.
