I wrote before about the Shinkansen Evangelion Project, a unique 500 Series Shinkansen train operating on the Kodama service between Shin-Osaka and Hakata until the spring of 2018.

The most interesting part of this project is photographed here, the full-size Evangelion cockpit, built inside the first car. If it’s not occupied, you can see it by just boarding the train, but if you wish to ride in the cockpit you need to sign up in advance for a lottery on the official site, and in order to do this, at least for now, you need to reside in Japan. However, there are plenty of other attractions inside the 500 TYPE EVA. I will return to this subject…
