Riding Japan’s Amazing Overnight Train | Sunrise Express | Tokyo to Okayama

Join me on my overnight trip on the Sunrise Express from Tokyo to Okayama in a Single Room, which cost ¥21,470. It covers the full experience — boarding at Tokyo Station, reviewing the compact cabin, trying a self-heating bento, exploring the lounge car, and arriving at sunrise.

After watching the train split into Sunrise Izumo and Sunrise Seto, the trip continues in Okayama with an early morning udon breakfast, a walk to Okayama Castle, and a visit to Korakuen Garden.

A straightforward look at what it’s like to travel overnight by Japan’s last regularly scheduled sleeper train and spend a morning exploring Okayama before heading back to Tokyo.
