JR West and Chizu Kyuko’s “Super Hakuto” limited express train will operate a wrapped car, “Super Hakuto Meitantei Conan-go,” from December 3.
In honor of Gosho Aoyama, the author of the “Detective Conan” manga series, who is from Tottori Prefecture, the “Super Hakuto,” which runs between Kyoto and Tottori/Kurayoshi stations, will be decorated. Since the manga is well known overseas, one of the aims of the project is to attract visitors as a tourism resource.
The trains will make 1 to 1.5 round trips per day, with irregular service suspension days, and the train operations will be posted on the “Manga Kingdom Secretariat” on the Tottori Prefecture website at the end of each month for the following two months. On the first day, the down train “Super Hakuto No. 9” and the up train “Super Hakuto No. 6” will be in service, with a departure ceremony to be held at Osaka Station for No. 9 and at Kurayoshi Station for No. 6.
