Mizuma Railway is operating a “digital art” train until Dec. 1 that treats passengers to projection mapping during the 5.5-kilometer ride between Kaizuka and Mizuma-Kannon stations in Osaka Prefecture.
The service is available from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
It constitutes the main event of the “Digital Art Fest in Mizumakannon 2024,” which is being held to commemorate the company’s 100th anniversary.
The two-car train is equipped with eight projectors that show colorful patterns, which slowly change.
Passengers captivated by the light show were busy snapping photos on their smartphones.
