The West Express Ginga, stylized as WEST EXPRESS Ginga (ウエストエクスプレス 銀河, Uesuto ekusupuresu ginga), is an overnight sleeping car train service in Japan operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) since September 2020. It is the second sleeper service using the Ginga name, after the now-discontinued Ginga.

Overview

JR West first discussed visions for a new long-distance train in 2016, after launching the Twilight Express Mizukaze.[1] In 2019 plans for the West Express Ginga, including its name, design, and rolling stock, were officially revealed.[2]
