West Japan Railway Company (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture) and the Osaka Philharmonic Association are launching a collaborative project utilizing the "JR WEST Parade Train" to promote music culture and create new customer experiences.
This initiative will create new value during travel time by integrating performance content from the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra with in-car performances within the train's interior space. Bringing color to everyday life and richness to the heart. We will deliver a special moment enveloped in music during your daily commute.
Furthermore, by scanning QR codes inside the train, you can enjoy exclusive content from the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra that cannot be seen anywhere else.
We believe this initiative will also contribute to "Improving the Sustainability and Appeal of Towns and Regions" as outlined in the JR West Group's "Medium-Term Management Plan 2030."
We will continue to work on disseminating regional culture and creating customer experiences that move people's hearts through co-creation with everyone.
1. Start Date of Operation: July 1, 2026 (Wed)
2. Operating Section: Osaka Loop Line, JR Yumesaki Line (Sakurajima Line)
3. Target Train: One 323 series trainset (leading car towards Sakurajima Station, 1 car)

As a legacy of the Expo, "JR WEST Parade Train" will inherit the spirit of co-creation even after the Osaka-Kansai Expo concludes, promoting corporate collaborations utilizing the in-car space. We will be disseminating the charm of Osaka and Kansai, so please pay attention to its activities.
