The “Sumikkogurashi Train,” which sadly ended at the end of March this year, was so cute, wasn’t it?
Next up, it looks like the “Koupen-chan” collaboration train, the “Koupen-chan Train,” will run from July 14 (Wed) to January 31 (Mon) next year!

Design of the Hankyu Railway “Koupen-chan Train”
It looks like the design will be different on each Hankyu line!
They’re all so cute… 😍

Just like the Sumikkogurashi Train, the inside of the train will also have Koupen-chan posters and stickers!

Apparently, Koupen-chan will even be riding along next to the destination display and in the crew compartment!
Maybe that’s something the Sumikkogurashi Train didn’t have!?
I can’t wait to see the “Koupen-chan Train” 😍
Finally
I didn’t really know much about “Koupen-chan” as a character, but the more I look, the more soothing and adorable it seems 😊
There may be merchandise and other items coming in the future, so we’ll be keeping an eye out! 🙋
