The popular game series Kirby, where the pink hero inhales everything and embarks on grand adventures with various Copy Abilities, is teaming up with Hankyu Railway!
A special wrapped train will be running, along with limited-edition collaboration goods and food. Don’t miss it if you’re visiting Osaka, Kyoto, or Kobe!
Travel around Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe on the Hankyu “Kirby Train”
The Kirby × Hankyu Railway collaboration is running until Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
The biggest highlight is the wrapped train, the “Kirby Train”!
One train each on the Kobe Line (connecting Osaka-umeda and Kobe-sannomiya), Kyoto Line (connecting Osaka-umeda and Kyoto-kawaramachi), and Takarazuka Line (connecting Osaka-umeda and Takarazuka) has been taken over by Kirby and Waddle Dee!
At the media preview held the day before service began, Kirby himself came to visit!
The train cars are decorated with exclusive Kirby × Hankyu Railway designs inspired by the scenery along the Kobe, Takarazuka, and Kyoto Lines. You might even spot some familiar landmarks!
In addition, the “Kirby Train” features a special headmark, and plush dolls of Kirby and Waddle Dee wearing original-design hats ride along in the driver’s cab.
Inside the train, it’s Kirby everywhere! One of the highlights is the stickers placed on the doors and windows—different for each line, so be sure to look for them.
Not just the doors and windows, but even the hand straps and hanging posters are all Kirby-themed!
