Aru Ressha

It comprises a two-car diesel-powered railcar heavily modified to parody the style, especially in its window treatment, of passenger cars supplied to Japan by the J. G. Brill Company of Philadelphia, United States of America in 1908.

[2][3] The name derives from the sweets (desserts)[note 1] served on board;[6] meals are designed and created in a Japanese–French style by chef Yoshihiro Narisawa, owner of the eponymous restaurant in Tokyo.

It invokes the style and ambience of the luxurious, 12-wheel Brill passenger cars purchased by the Kyushu Railway in 1908.

[2] Rebuilding work was carried out at JR Kyushu's Kokura General Rolling Stock Centre.

[9][6] Between April and September, the train runs a daily round trip between Ōita and Hita.
