Tonight we’ll be riding overnight from Tokyo to Takamatsu, on one half of Japan’s LAST Sleeper Train.

So do come and ride it while you still can, or just enjoy my video on it!

Camera: GoPro Hero 10 Black
Operator: JR (Japanese Railways)
Departure: Tokyo, Japan
Arrival: Takamatsu, Japan
Cost: Single Private Sleeper – 22,540 Yen (£135, €153, $168)

Great video. Looks like a wonderful way to travel Japan. 😍
Out of interest, do you plan / coordinate or ever travel with @SuperalbsTravels? As you often seem to visit the same countries at similar times. 🤔
The train look like Iron Man 3 the mark 42 LOL! By the way Long Live #TrainWindowViews!
Bom dia lindo trem Japão último trem noturno
I absolutely loved Tokyo when I visited there a few years ago. Beautiful city and super friendly people, would go again in a heartbeat. LOVE your videos.
Most impressive, indeed!
I travelled on the original bullet train in 1991 from Tokyo to Kyoto. It was greeeeaaat!
I can see this being made for the UK and Europe. Continental Europe version must be equipped with three pantographs one 1.45m Copper Strip AC/DC France 25kv Switzerland 15kv 16.7hz AC Italy 25kv 50hz AC 3kv DC. The Wider Pantagraph Metalized carbon 1.95m AC/DC former Czechoslovakia and Germany and Austria-Hungary 15kv 16.7hz AC 25kv 50hz AC and 3kv DC 1.8m Carbon strip 15kv 16 2/3hz Norway Sweden 25kv 50hz Denmark. Excellent video overall and a traveller can use this overnight train from the Kansai Region to Tokyo via Nagoya
I am slightly "off" sleeper trains at the moment – the one we took at the start of our recent Inter-rail adventure arrived in Stockholm a mere 6 1/2 hours late!
I enjoyed seeing it very much this time as well.
Thank you for delivering a wonderful video.
Also, thank you for explaining the toilet in detail.
I'm looking forward to the next delivery.
Great train!
haven't been to Japan yet but it is on my to do list
Excellent as always. Thanks for all your work
That bridge crossing in the sunrise is absolutely stunning indeed ❤
Furthermore, the outside appearance of the train is sending me heavy NS ICM (Koploper) vibes 😄
Train trip review suggestion: Wroclaw to Zgorzelec, Polska (regional train), then transfer to Görlitz, Deutschland might be interesting …
I have always been under the impression that the Japanese were tough and hardy people. Yet Covid has them scared shitless. In November of 2022 the majority is still wearing a face diaper.
Who is the "new" narrator of this vlog? What happened to the French fellow?
I think that it's cheaper to run sleeper buses than trains overnight but the amount of these buses in Japan 🗾 would suggest a greater market for sleeping trains .
Japanese trains are the envy of the world
Great trip, finally you make this trip report. Correct me if I wrong, there's also accomodation called Solo which is considered as cheapest private room on this train. Sadly you're run out of shower card. I have many favourite train livery, one of them is Sunrise Express.
Five sta coverage
You do travel to a lot of countries
This is such a lovely video. The sunrise crossing of the Inland Sea is spectacular. Love the cozy sleeper compartment! Great journey and the music at the end is fabulous. Wonderful job!
I’ve a Japanese friend who’s parents still live in Japan, she says she’s so glad she has somewhere to stay because Japan is so expensive, my son visited a few years ago and said the same, they travelled on the slow trains to save on the cost of travel, beautiful place to visit though and he loved Japan , saw a 14 day holiday from the UK a couple of days ago nearly £6,000 for it, do your own itinerary I think, forgot to mention great post
Wow! Another beautiful video. It just makes me sad when I see how clean and efficient Japanese trains are in comparison to ours, which are usually late and overcrowded. Japanese people seem to take a pride in their work.
Ummm, what do you mean "while you can"? This train set should still have plenty of life left in it and there are no concrete plans whatsoever to extend the shinkansen service to Izumo-shi or Takamatsu. What a misleading title.
You can ride to Polish city Zamość this city have got the most amazing old
town in Poland
