Shiki-Shima When one thinks of Japan, an image of modern, futuristic buildings and its renowned bullet train co-inhabiting with ancient architecture and nature’s beauty may come to mind. Such is the case of Shiki-Shima’s luxury train. Japan’s Shiki-Shima voyages into the deep beauty of the eastern Japanese countryside. Striking and futuristic, the train is ultra-new with sleek, contemporary designs colored in champagne and gold that are carried into the train’s cabins. The brilliant, creative mind responsible for this unparalleled creation is designer Ken Okuyama, who is known for his work for Porsche, Ferrari, and Maserati.
