Customers themselves are not prohibited from taking photos or filming the interior of the train or the members of their party. However, we ask that such passengers be considerate of those around them.
Additionally, as a general rule we first ask the permission of passengers before allowing individuals representing the reporting media to enter the passenger area to take photos or film.

Wheelchair users

How many seats on the train can accommodate wheelchairs? How many people can such seats accommodate?
There is one table for two diners. This one seat is a sliding seat into which it is easy to transfer from wheelchair.
We have made reservations for a party of three (or four), but one member of our party uses a wheelchair. Is there a four-person table available for us?
Other than the wheelchair-accessible two-person table described above, all other tables and seats are fixed to the floor of the train car. If the wheelchair-using passenger is able to transfer into a seat at one of these tables without moving a seat back, a four-person table is available.
If our wheelchair-using party member cannot transfer to a seat from their wheelchair, can we not ride the train?
If you notify us beforehand, it is possible for us to remove the sliding seat from the wheelchair-accessible two-person table, enabling the wheelchair-using passenger to use the table while still in their wheelchair. Depending on the width of the wheelchair, it may extend somewhat into the walkway of the train car.
It is not possible to remove any of the four-person tables. If you are a party of three or four and the wheelchair-using member of your party is not able to transfer to a seat from their wheelchair, we may not be able to accommodate your group.
Where do I put my wheelchair while sitting in my seat?
If there is a wheelchair-using passenger on board, there is a space to store their wheelchair in Car No. 2 along the wall near Car No. 1.
We were told that on the Ikebukuro / Seibu-Shinjuku to Seibu-Chihibu Brunch Plan, passengers will be able to get off the train at Ashigakubo Station and take walks in front of the station. Will wheelchair users be able to disembark at Ashigakubo Station as well?
There are no facilities at Ashigakubo Station that can accommodate a wheelchair user who wishes to exit the station. Regrettably, wheelchair-using passengers will only be able to exit at the terminal station of the tour, Seibu-Chichibu Station.
However, there is a wheelchair ramp in the train car, and so wheelchair-using passengers will be able to get off the train at Ashigakubo Station.
Can I travel between train cars using my own wheelchair?
Depending on the width of your wheelchair, you may not be able to pass between train cars. If this is the case, please transfer to the wheelchair available for use inside the train car to move between cars.
Can I order beverages at my table?
There are dedicates staff members in each car who will take your orders and handle payment at your table.
