JR West Japan has introduced a pair of panda seats on the line between Shin-Osaka station and Shirahama in Wakayama. They'll stay in place until the end of March next year. Adventure World in Shirahama-cho is showing the twin panda cubs Meihin and Eihin which were born last year. The train operator says that the seats are for passengers to take souvenir photographs and so no-one will be allowed to take up permanent residence.
