New Limited Express Spacia X on Tobu Line Asakusa (Tokyo)-Nikko/Kinugawa Onsen

July 15, Tobu Line will inaugurate a new limited express Spacia X on Asakusa (Tokyo) - Nikko / Kinugawa Onsen.

Spacia X (website is in Japanese only)

I am little surprised by Tobu Line not having English website about Spacia X yet. Nikko has always had inbound (non-Japanese) tourists, where Tobu Line has focus on inbound passengers onboard their limited express trains to Nikko. Even back in '70, the qualifications of attendants onboard Tobu Line's limited express Kegon (bound for Nikko) and Kinu (bound for Kinugawa Onsen) was conversational English.

Spacia X is a brand new train consists from six cars.

Car no. 1:
Cockpit Lounge. A lounge space with 20 seats and a cafe counter. Cafe counter will have beer from Nikko Brewing (website in Japanese only) on the tap. Coffee from Nikko Coffee (again, website in Japanese only) brewed onboard the cafe, and other regional Nikko items.

Car no. 2:
Premium seat, 1x2 seats across.

Car no. 3-5:
Standard seat, 2x2 seats across. Car no. 5 has a box seats, two seats facing each with little but on a partition on back and side for a couple seating. Box seats do not recline.

Car no. 6:
Compartment rooms. Four private rooms for up to four passengers in a room. Cockpit Suite up to seven passengers in a room.
