Cheapest Private Room on Japan’s Overnight Sleeper Train 😴 12 Hour Trip from Tokyo 寝台特急サンライズ出雲 vlog

Sunrise Express Izumo & Seto (寝台特急サンライズ出雲瀬戸号) is Japan’s only overnight sleeper train which runs everyday (日本で唯一の毎日運行の夜行列車). Today, I book the cheapest private room called “Solo” (最安の個室 B寝台個室ソロ) from Tokyo Station to Izumoshi Station (東京駅から出雲市駅). It’s a 950km (590 miles) trip that takes about 12 hours. When booking a Solo room, even if you are a foreign tourist with a JR pass, you will need to go to the ticket office and pay an additional sleeper private room fee in advance. In addition, I recommend you reserve a seat on the right side. This is because you can see other trains and a nice view of Lake Shinji. When you arrive in Izumo, it’s a good idea to visit the famous Izumo Taisha Shrine (officially Izumo Oyashiro 出雲大社 いずもおおやしろ) and eat the local specialty, Wariko Soba noodles (割子蕎麦). ☆★☆This is what it was actually like!☆★☆ ---12 hour trip on the Sunrise Express (Solo Room)--- * So many security cameras at Tokyo Station. * Taking a warm shower on the train while it’s snowing outside was an unusual exper
