Last but not least we go to Japan, a country with plenty of stunning landscape and scenery. But riding the famous bullet trains across the country, passengers are often left with a blurred image. Now however, they'll be able to enjoy the beauty in all of its glory thanks to a train that has huge windows instead of walls.

Futuristic design: Carriages are akin to glass tubes, offering panoramic views. The driver's room is also glass - passengers can enjoy a drink while watching the driver at work.

Designed by Ichibansen, The Echigo Tokimeki Resort Setsugekka charges about $145 USD for the full package.
