About the Name
In deciding on the nickname, we will maintain and inherit the tradition of the limited express Spacia, which has been loved by customers for many years as a synonym for transportation to the Nikko/Kinugawa area, and also use the "X" symbol to symbolize the role expected of the new vehicle. By adding the letters, we have made it reminiscent of the orthodox evolution of the Spacia Limited Express.
About the Design
It is reminiscent of Edo handicrafts such as kumiko and bamboo woven crafts that have been passed down in Kanuma.
It has the appearance of a carefully crafted craft, and a form that seems to enclose something important.
The coloring is a noble white reminiscent of the white Gofun painted on the Yomeimon, Karamon, and main shrines of Nikko Toshogu Shrine.
Seats
In addition to regular seats, we offer various types of seats, including private rooms, sofa seats, and lounge-type seats. Cockpit Suite, the highest class of all, is inspired by a private jet and offers a spacious and luxurious space as a ``driving suite'' with a wide panoramic view from the front window.
cafe counter

Environmental Initiatives
In addition to reducing CO2 emissions by up to 40%, the train operates in a carbon-neutral manner by replacing all electricity used during operation with renewable energy. We will contribute to the realization of "International Eco Resort Nikko" where history, culture, tradition and nature coexist.
