【サンライズ出雲】東京から出雲市へ寝台列車旅

【サンライズ出雲】東京から出雲市へ寝台列車旅

Hello. I’m here at Tokyo Station, the starting point of our adventure. This historic red brick station building is one of Tokyo’s landmarks and serves as the gateway to all of Japan. When you look up at the ceiling, the beautiful decorative reliefs will catch your eye. Restoration work completed in 2012 faithfully restored the building to its original appearance in 1914. This is the ticket for the train you will be riding this time. Oh my God! We will ride the Sunrise Izumo, the only sleeper express train in regular service in Japan. The total distance from Tokyo Station to Izumo City Station in Shimane Prefecture is approximately 953.6 km. The train departed from Tokyo Station at 10 p.m. and arrived at its final destination, Izumo City Station, at 9:58 a.m. the next morning. The journey will take approximately 12 hours. I reserved a B sleeper single and it cost 23,010 yen including the train ticket, express ticket, and sleeper fee. Let’s go through the ticket gate right away. Before boarding the train, go buy a bento. Ekiben is an essential part of train travel in Japan, and stations across Japan have unique ekiben that make use of local ingredients and cuisine. This store has bento boxes from all over the country, so you can find the one you like. We arrived at platform 9. Sunrise Izumo is stopping here. It is actually connected to another night train, Sunrise Seto, bound for Takamatsu in Shikoku. The two trains run together until they separate at Okayama Station. As you can see from the exterior of Sunrise Izumo, it has a two-story structure. The first floor seats have the same line of sight as the platform, so the view looks fresh. This is the window of the Nobinobi seat. It’s not actually a seat, but a carpeted space where you can lie down. This is car number 14 that I ride. The body color of the Sunrise Izumo has a “dawn” theme, and features a two-tone beige and red color with gold lines, giving it an elegant and modern appearance. Now let’s board the train. This time, my room was on the second floor, on the left side in the direction of travel. This is today’s room. You can also put your suitcase there. departing from Tokyo Station. Thank you for using the sleeper express Sunrise Seto and Sunrise Izumo. This train is the sleeper limited express Sunrise Seto bound for Takamatsu and the Sunrise Izumo bound for Izumo City Station. The stations it stops at are Yokohama, Atami, Numazu, Fuji, Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Himeji, and Okayama. At Okayama, Sunrise Seto will be uncoupled from Sunrise Izumo. After leaving Okayama, the Sunrise Seto stops at Kojima, Sakaide, and the final stop at Takamatsu. After leaving Okayama, the Sunrise Izumo stops at Kurashiki, Bicchu Takahashi, Niimi, Yonago, Yasugi, Matsue, Shinji, and the final destination, Izumo City. The space is so spacious that you can stretch your arms out on the bed. This is what it looks like near the entrance. The door can of course be locked from the inside, and there is an emergency key so that you can open it even if someone locks it using the outside PIN code. There’s only one outlet here. There is also a full-length mirror, a table large enough to eat, and disposable cups. These are pajamas and bedding. Pajamas are yukata style. There are also slippers and garbage bags at the entrance, which can fit a 60L suitcase. As a woman, I can easily lie down. There is a space next to the bed where you can store your luggage. There are two electric switches for the night light and indoor light. I’m going to eat the sushi I bought at Tokyo Station earlier. There are no food sales on the train, so we recommend purchasing them before boarding. There were 8 bite-sized pieces. It’s going to be early tomorrow morning, so I think it’s time to go to bed. It’s bright outside, so I put up blinds. When you turn off the lights, it’s pitch black like this. It’s quite bright if you leave the window open. You can see stars in dark places, so if you can’t sleep, we recommend looking at the scenery at night. The train noise didn’t bother me. I woke up early to arrive at Okayama Station at 6:27am. Because there is a separation of trains. Don’t forget to lock the door when you leave the room. I head to the bathroom to get ready. It’s still dark outside. Since I still have time to get to Okayama Station, I would like to explore the inside of the train. *Please note that the train may shake Car No. 13 has the same single and single twin rooms as Car No. 14 where I was staying. Of course, it is also a two-story building. Car 12 has comfortable seats. If you look at the guide map, the seats are divided into upper and lower rows. The seats are separated by curtains so you can’t see them. Looks like you have to climb the stairs to get to the top. I found an empty seat and looked in, but it seemed like the only partition was on the head side. It was empty so I took a sneak peek. It was fully equipped with a hair dryer. The shower room had a mirror and shampoo was provided. This car has single DX and sunrise twin rooms, and is the most expensive room on the train. I would like to stay there someday. There were only 10 seats. Car No. 10 has a vending machine, shower room, and lounge. There is also a shower card vending machine. Since it was morning, it was sold out. If you are thinking of purchasing one, we recommend purchasing it as soon as you get on the train. There are only 8 seats and it’s still dark so I can’t look out, so I’ll come back when it gets brighter. Car No. 10 has solo rooms only. There was an empty room, so I took a look inside, but as it is said to be the smallest room, it seemed a bit oppressive. Cars 8 & 9 are the same room I was staying in. I decided to take the opportunity to walk downstairs. The construction is exactly the same. There’s one more place I want to see, so I’m heading there. This is the connection between Sunrise Seto and Izumo. I came early because I wouldn’t be able to see it if it was cut off at Okayama Station. We arrived at Okayama Station about 30 minutes late. We will now take a look at the separation of Sunrise Izumo and Seto. We bid farewell to the Sunrise Seto and the morning sun came up. As you leave Okayama Station, a rural landscape spreads out. From here, the train passes through the mountains, crosses the Chugoku Mountains, and heads toward the Sea of ​​Japan. Approximately 3 hours of train journey remaining. As the end draws near, you’ll feel a pang of regret. Enjoy the scenery outside. Snow was gradually piling up. My mother made me rice balls before I left. I’m hungry, so I’ll eat it. It’s snowing. Since it’s near the mountains, the weather can change easily, and I’m worried about whether it’ll be sunny in Izumo. There was a curve and I was able to see the lead vehicle of Sunrise Izumo. It really feels like we’re riding it. Yonago Station is the departure point for Sakaiminato, the hometown of Shigeru Mizuki, famous for “GeGeGe no Kitaro”. There are also Yokai character decorations inside the station. There is also a Kitaro wrapped train, so be sure to look for it when you stop by Yonago Station. After passing Matsue, on the right side is Lake Shinji, the 7th largest lake in Japan. Because it is connected to the Sea of ​​Japan, creatures from both the sea and river coexist. Among them, freshwater clams are a specialty of Lake Shinji and have an elegant taste. At dusk, you can enjoy the spectacular view of the sunset reflected on the lake surface. Due to its beauty, the scenery has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 Best Sunsets and captivates the hearts of visitors. The fare for the Sunrise Izumo I rode this time was 23,210 yen (tax included) from Tokyo Station to Izumo City Station. The fare is 12,210 yen and the limited express fare is 3,300 yen for all seats, but the price of the sleeper berth changes depending on the seat you choose. Sleeper fees do not apply only to Nobinobi seats. I have listed the prices for other seats. My recommendation is the single room I stayed in this time. It’s reasonably priced, but I think it’s easy to spend your time because you can maintain privacy. We arrived at Izumo City Station safely. Before going to the ticket gate, take a look at the front of the train. So, how was my trip to Sunrise Izumo? This trip, which took us through the night from east to west of Japan, was a special time for us to relax and take a break from our busy daily lives. I spent the night on the train shaking, something I don’t experience in everyday life, and I was soothed by the beautiful scenery I could see from the window, and I was so excited that I felt like I was in my own secret base. If you tell the station staff at the ticket gate that you would like to take your ticket home as a souvenir, they will stamp your ticket to commemorate your ride and let you pass through the ticket gate. You can take home a ticket as a souvenir of your ride, so be sure to check it out! The Sunrise Izumo train I rode this time is the only sleeper express train in Japan that operates regularly, and is loved by many railway fans and travelers. If you have a chance, why not take a ride? Thank you for watching till the end
