From Pink Tentacle:
Swedish furniture giant IKEA has converted the Kobe Portliner Monorail into a moving showroom before the April 14 opening of a new retail outlet at Port Island. The redecorated train, which features a colorful exterior, bright upholstery and fancy curtains, will carry passengers in style until May 6.
I wish they would have pulled that publicity stunt on a Yamanote train or a shinkansen!






And after May 6th, I suppose the train will be reverted back to its former glory?
*sigh* no way out now…once the wife sees/reads about this we are definitely going to Ikea.
At least you could find your way out of the Ikea train car. If a fire ever broke out when I’m in Ikea, I’d just lay down and die. There is no way I can find my way around that place.
