Yume Kukan, meaning Dream Space, was a set of three luxury carriages that were in operation between Ueno and Sapporo during holiday seasons from 1989 to 2008. There was a sleeping car, a dining car and this lounge car, which is now used as a rest space at LaLaport shopping centre at Shin-Misato.
There's a piano, a bar and very comfortable purple chairs that look pink in certain light. It's open from 11am to 6pm every day and is located pretty close to Shin-Misato Station.
But I'm not sure it would be any train carriage designer's dream for their masterpiece to end up at a shopping centre.....
