It is clear that Kintetsu intends for passengers to enjoy their time on board. Various taglines adorn the railway’s information cards and onboard signage; these urge passengers to “enjoy a relaxing time on board” and avail of “upgraded relaxation” and “dignity and elegance”. The Hinotori offers both a Premium class of service as well as a standard class.
