This may sound a little sudden, but what was your childhood dream? What did you want to become when you were a kid?
On February 28, Keisei Electric Railway Company began operating the “Keisei Dream Train,” using two sets of its trains.
The Keisei Dream Train really lives up to its name. Both the outside and inside of the train are decorated with drawings of children’s dreams for the future.

These drawings were made by children and chosen by lottery.
Please take a look at the top photo—that is one of the Keisei Dream Trains, Set 3006 of the 3000 series EMU. You can see a special sticker on the front of the train. It was drawn by a 10-year-old boy whose dream is to become a train driver of the Keisei 3400 series. What a specific dream! I can completely understand his feelings—please check my previous post about the EMU 3400 series if you have time.
Next, please look at the photo below. This is Car 6, where drawings by boys and girls aged around 10 to 12 are displayed. For example, on the right, there is a drawing of a train and a conductor. It was drawn by another 10-year-old boy, and its title is “A Train Conductor Who Watches Over Safety.” What a responsible child! As proof that he is paying attention, he even drew the yellow warning blocks on the platform—these are tactile paving blocks that guide people with visual impairments. He has very good observation skills.
Finally, there is one more drawing—on the left side of the photo below, you can see a drawing of fashionable women. It was drawn by a 10-year-old girl whose dream is to become both a baker and a YouTuber. How modern! In her drawing, white bread, melon-shaped buns, and coronets are on sale. She imagines that she will introduce her bakery on her YouTube channel. I really hope her dreams come true someday.
The Keisei Dream Train is truly a heartwarming vehicle for all passengers.
