This Tuesday, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare made an announcement about the basic guidelines on how to control the spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). To minimize further spread, the government recommends for people to stay away from large gatherings, and to avoid unnecessary outings if possible.

In light of these guidelines, our company has decided that we would not be able to provide a regular journey on the Seven Stars to our guests, especially the usually present aspects such as the warm welcome from the local communities along the routes of the Seven Stars. Unfortunately we had to make the difficult decision to cancel the below runs.

All guests who are scheduled to travel on the Seven Stars in March 2020 will be contacted by the Cruise Train Headquarters Tour Desk or via their travel agent.

March runs: total of 9 runs.

4 Days 3 Nights tour: March 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st 2020.

2 Days 1 Night tour: March 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th 2020.

The Seven Stars is scheduled to start running again after this, however the official start date is yet to be determined.
