Japan’s Sunrise Seto Sleeper Train: A Bunk Bed Adventure
The sleeper express Sunrise Seto is a train filled with romance. Today, I rode this train to Shikoku. Here it is. Isn’t it more comfortable than Single Deluxe? I decided to sleep like this. It’s 500 series. It’s a nice morning. 500 series. It’s a really beautiful scenery.
I think it would be a good idea to introduce sleeper trains to Yurikamome as well. The journey begins at Tokyo Station. I received the ticket I had reserved online and entered the station. Now, the journey begins. But here’s the problem. A toothbrush costs 500 yen. No way. Isn’t there a pharmacy?
Apparently, the train will arrive at the line at 9:25 p.m. There’s only 5 minutes left. This video is brought to you by “Shi Ma”. There were no toothbrushes at Kinokuniya. If you don’t have it, you have no choice but to buy it on the platform. At a convenience store.
This was my last resort, I had no choice but to buy a toothbrush at a convenience store over there. Before I knew it, it was time to board the line. This is today’s accommodation, the sleeper express Sunrise Seto/Izumo. Now, the door is open, so let’s go in right away.
By the way, I want to take a shower. I wonder if I can get it even though it’s from the opposite side of the line. Oh, no. Since it’s sold out, I’ll go to Izumo. How about that. Since it wasn’t there, do you want to go back to your room quietly?
Passing through the connecting part for the first time. Is this how it is? I’m telling you not to stop. The door is heavy. Now, which room is mine? picture? wait a minute? Really here? This is really lucky. The first private room in car No. 6 is a single twin. Really.
Somehow, I don’t know what to do. It’s hot so I’ll take it off anyway. I don’t need a jumper anymore. What time are you leaving? About 5 more minutes? I never thought it would be a single twin. Take your first ride. I thought it was definitely a solo.
Should I use a chair for now? The E5 series is parked over there. I have a bunk bed. It fits, right? Number 1 of car 6, single twin. This is the only place where you can find a twin. But on a trolley? Does it shake?
I’m worried about whether I’ll be able to sleep. I’m already sleepy so I can sleep. For some reason, I thought the price was too high. Wouldn’t it be cheaper if you went solo? After all, the bed fee is 12,900 yen. Isn’t it expensive? That’s expensive. Well, for now. You know, the bed.
This is how you peel it off. Peel it off. All of these will also be made into chairs. I can see it from the platform, but that’s okay. How is this? I don’t understand this. effect? This, like this. Then, use it as a chair, take out the table from here, and you’re done.
Wouldn’t a single deluxe be better? It’s so good it makes me laugh. It’s nice to have a spacious room. I’m happy with my two-story building. I never thought I would be able to stay in a single twin room. It was worth the effort this year. Well, it’s only just begun.
This is because the acrylic plate (misplaced glass) is cloudy, so it’s okay. But I’ve left. That’s nice. good bye. Just now , I was laughing and waving to the old men on the platform .
Mr. Suit says, the first thing you should do when you get on board. Where do I turn off the light? Is this it? The top one is okay, I didn’t erase it. Oh, that’s nice. It’s okay. Very good. Let’s turn off the light above. Because it’s dazzling.
Do your best and see if you can reach it. It has arrived! I had cramps. Great, the night view of Tokyo is amazing. where is here? Yurakucho? It’s not Yurakucho. It’s already Shinbashi. Where is this? Is it TV Asahi? I don’t remember. Sazae-san’s program. The Kaido Shinkansen is next door.
Are there no more Shinkansen trains running parallel to each other at this time? Due to timetable revision. Nice. I didn’t have a shower card, but I have a lot of time to kill in Kotohira tomorrow, so I guess I’ll just have to find a hot spring there or something.
It’s also possible to go to Kyushu. What should I do? I don’t have that kind of money. It suits you, right? Car No. 1, not car No. 6. No. 1 private room, single twin. The ticket inspection will be coming soon. No more. This is like a dresser in my room.
It’s a garbage dump. This is where my personality is expressed. The clothes I took off were everywhere. This is what I’ll have for breakfast tomorrow. There was no coffee. After all, the toothpaste cost 500 yen. I can’t believe it, really. Tomorrow’s meal will be trout sushi and sekihan. I like mochi, right? multivitamin.
We’ll be passing through Shinagawa soon. Come to think of it, construction work on the linear train has already begun at Shinagawa Station. It seems that it has been dug deep underground, all the way to the abyss. If you drop your smartphone, it seems impossible to retrieve it.
So, everyone at Shinagawa Station who is using their smartphones on the platform, please don’t drop your smartphone. I never thought I’d pass through Shinagawa Station first while riding the sleeper express . It is rare for a limited express train to pass through Shinagawa Station. Have you ever passed through the Narita Express?
I don’t remember. Nice. Nice, really. can you see it? my face I can’t see it. Shall I turn on the light? It doesn’t make any sense. Well, it’s normal to get excited like this. it’s fun. Did you just cross the Meguro River? Nippon Paint. My favorite.
Everyone, this is an important thing when riding a train, not just the sleeper express. Never leave your wallet unattended. Apparently there have been some theft incidents on the Yamanote Line recently . i can’t believe. It’s important to keep your sleeper ticket with you. Tickets too.
I was watching various people’s videos and was wondering, what is this? That’s what happened when I thought about it. This is a private room for two people. It would be a problem if someone locked the door from the outside and it wouldn’t open, so they made it possible to open it from here.
By the way, the door lock is a PIN code type. Is it alright? What number should I use? I pressed 12345 and it said it would close if I did this. Hon, 12345, opened. Actually, when you close the door, if you lock it properly,
It won’t open even if you press the lever at the bottom. How do I open it? It’s pretty sturdy. Nice. It really doesn’t feel like I’m on a sleeper express. Not at all. What is this? Sunrise has a power supply here. How many watts? AC100V, 2A, 60HZ.
So I wish I had brought a light. What is this? This is probably a breaker. This outlet’s breaker. There’s only one, so just make sure it’s turned on and plug it in to use it. Well, this is an ashtray. You know,
I thought it would smell like cigarettes since it was called a smoking room, but it didn’t smell at all. This stinks. This is an ashtray, so it smells bad, but the room doesn’t smell like a smoking room at all. Sometimes there are smoking rooms in hotel rooms, but
I hate them because they smell so bad. However, this Sunrise doesn’t smell bad even in a smoking room, which is nice. Don’t cross the Tama River. Shall I erase it? There’s no point in deleting it though. What do you mean? It’s quiet without water, but above the river, it’s noisy. nice.
Once you cross this river, cross the Tama River and you will arrive at Kawasaki Station. Keikyu’s Kawasaki and JR’s Kawasaki are different, but compared to other stations, it’s better. I passed Kawasaki Station, but the platform was on the opposite side. Well, I don’t see any trains passing by here, so
I don’t think I’ll wake up at night. Well, it’s not really a problem. I wanted to see a freight train passing by, but this is something I have to be careful about. buzzer. Me too, I just opened the lid and almost pressed it by mistake.
When it’s pitch black, you can’t see where the buttons are, so maybe the lid could be made a little more sturdy. But it’s time to turn on the lights. It’s a hassle because you have to turn it on by fumbling around. Radio broadcast, it says that the radio broadcast has ended.
I can not hear anything. What time is your alarm set? It’s 6:05, so where should I be? Where did you try to wake up? Osaka? I don’t know, I don’t know. I’m going to ride to Kotohira tomorrow, so what time should I wake up? We arrived after 8 o’clock, around 8:30.
But what time should we cross the Seto Ohashi Bridge? About an hour before that? Well, let’s do it around 7 o’clock. It’s about 7 o’clock, chau chau chau chau. Do you try to wake up around 7 o’clock? What time should I go to bed today? that? Will this turn it on? I see.
Which river is it? Is it Tsurumi River? No, that’s not true. It’s past Kawasaki, so maybe Tsurumi. Well, I guess I’ll brush my teeth anyway. No, I still don’t need to polish it. Should I use this as a living room and wait until the ticket inspection comes?
Unlock it and use the second floor as your bedroom. The living room is on the first floor. nice. I mean, wait, I can’t believe it. It’s already 10 o’clock. Is it already 10:09? I still felt like it was 6:08, but I can’t believe it. The date will change in 2 hours. Don’t worry.
I’m so excited I can’t sleep. I don’t think there’s a trace of elegance in this video, but please forgive me. I think it would be great if I could share this video of me that gives you a sense of realism with everyone . Smoking in bed is prohibited.
Well, I want everyone to take a look at adjusting the lights. This is now the maximum, this is the maximum. This is max now. So, lower it one step. Maybe only one of the fluorescent lights inside was turned off. Just one more. Is it completely gone? yeah? How’s it going?
I don’t understand what it means. I don’t understand what it means. That’s enough. Passing through Koyasu Station. Still, the ticket inspection hasn’t come. Isn’t this going to be in Higashi Kanagawa soon? You can see the Keikyu and Yokohama Line train depots over there. can you see it? yes.
The scissors have been inserted and I have them pressed. Where is it? Probably Yokohama soon. I was told that I was sorry to have kept you waiting. Can you hear the conversation? As expected. Oh, nice timing. I’ll be in Yokohama soon. If you see this Rinkai Seminar, you’re in Yokohama.
But what’s wrong with this window glass? It’s a bit cloudy. Well, that’s fine though. I want everyone to see it with the naked eye. Experience this beautiful, beautiful sleeper express journey. No, it’s nice, it’s nice. Pass by 233 on the Keihin Tohoku Line. This part of Yokohama Station has a ladder track.
It seems to have the effect of shortening the construction period. Wow, there are so many people. You can see it for a moment, so I’ll just close it halfway and take a picture with the camera. Isn’t it awkward? Good. Arrived at Yokohama Station. Because everyone is wearing clothes.
I don’t need to wear any clothes, I ‘m wearing them because I want to go wash my face after this. It seems like a lot of people take the train from Yokohama Station. As for the shower card, unfortunately it didn’t work. What exactly? Enter the line.
I wonder if I can get it if I line up about 20 minutes before entering Tokyo Station? That’s fine. I’m going to take a hot spring somewhere tomorrow. Do you know what the situation is now? This is on a ladder. To be honest, isn’t it better than Single Deluxe? I feel like that.
Should I open it already? Listen. Because I’ll never get along with the person outside. It might be even better than Single Deluxe. bye bye. bye bye. I’m coming. Is it noisy? It’s okay, right? No, it’s fine. Right on. Right on. Right on. Right on. It’s really good. It’s really good,
I feel like it’s more comfortable than the single deluxe. I feel comfortable. Can I listen to the in-car broadcast? Thank you for using the sleeper express Sunrise Seto and Sunrise Izumo. This train is the sleeper express Sunrise Seto, bound for Takamatsu and Kotohira, and the Sunrise Izumo bound for Izumo City. I forgot.
I was buying alcohol. What is this? gin soda. I used to drink this with my friends, but I stopped drinking it because it tasted like medicine. I drink this because I like it. I’ll enjoy having this. This tastes like ginger and is delicious. It’s really delicious. This is delicious.
Whoever said it tasted like a poultice, get out. There’s a mysterious cup, but I think I’ll use it to brush my teeth and gargle. It’s convenient. I think it’s okay to put alcohol in this, but it’s sterilized, or rather, brand new. This is how trash cans are located. This is so stylish.
This one won the Good Design Award because it holds a garbage bag in the clasp . What is this? This, this lever. Is this what it is? Maybe the bed can be folded up? But I don’t really understand what the point is in doing that, so I guess I’ll stop.
Now you can adjust the curtains above. It sounds kind of strange. I see. Did I go too far in the opposite direction? It should probably be working now. Please do not take any equipment home with you. What would you bring home? Is it a blanket like this or clothes like this?
Also, I don’t think anyone would take a seat home with them. It’s really important to bring this home. Sunrise will be abolished if that happens. After all, it’s inside the train, so it’s shaking, right? I fell down. I hit this corner with all my might . Damn it hurts.
Just in case, I’ll lock it to prevent suspicious people from entering. I don’t think there are any suspicious people. I’m the most suspicious person. No, it’s comfortable. it’s happiness. It was worth all the hard work I put in this past year.
To be honest, it might be hundreds of times more fun than my recent trip to Niigata. Well, right now, what are the other reliable express trains you can ride in Japan? What was that? What if it’s not Marine Express? What was that? What the hell is this?
It doesn’t turn, and there’s nothing when I pull it. Is it something like N700? Is that the ventilation hole on the express train? That’s what I thought. what? this. What is it for? Well, first of all, I would like to say thank you very much for watching this video.
Also, to those who have joined our membership , and to Shi Ma, who has given us extraordinary support. thank you very much. thank you very much. That’s all. thank you. Thanks to everyone, I am now able to ride a single twin in Seto instead of Sunrise Izumo. thank you very much.
Why is this? Where is this? Totsuka? Totsuka? Where is it? Seriously, where is it? Why am I so excited? It’s not because of the alcohol. maybe. I think he’s so excited because he’s on a sleeper express. To tell you the truth.
I’m not the kind of person who can even drink a 7 per cent. When you drink a lot of alcohol, you become weak. I don’t vomit though. It makes me cry. That’s why I try not to drink too much alcohol. Besides, I don’t drink much alcohol. It makes me feel sick.
I get a headache. I feel like I can drink this 7 part beer today. That’s how much fun the sleeper express is. That’s nice. What do you think of this? Do you all want to ride?
But, you know, there are people who are complaining about not being able to get a ticket, but you know, you can get a ticket. This, now, when do you think I got this ticket? We don’t open at 10 o’clock. I got this ticket yesterday. There is always a waiting list for cancellations.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is a site called e5489, and if you keep an eye on it at JR East , I’m sure you’ll be able to get it. surely. Well, what should I do? What about a pillow? this. Something like this. A pillow with beads inside.
I thought it was open, but it wasn’t. It was a mirror. Hey, this is my sweater. What should I do? Leave it here or whatever you like. Well, you can just mess around here and there, like this. Ah, I’m so happy. I’m happy. There’s no one behind you. It might be there, but
I don’t know. Can you hear this voice? Maybe, I don’t think you can hear me. After all, there are no rooms on the other side, and there are stairs right there. So, there are rooms above and below, but what do they look like? Can you hear me?
What should I really do if it’s too loud? I’m happy now. I’m so happy. It’s fun. Kinda, huh? It doesn’t feel realistic, but when I have this, I feel like I’m going to eat it if I put it down, so I put it away. Let’s leave it here.
But, let me complain about one thing. Why, why does a toothbrush cost 500 yen? I should have bought it at the pharmacy. If you buy it at a pharmacy, it costs 100 yen. It’s 100 yen. Why does it cost 500 yen? You might think, “Don’t be silly.” There are definitely several.
But I forgot to buy it. Maybe I have that kind of characteristic after all . I haven’t done a proper test though. What’s over there? what? It became the Sobu Line. That’s nice. picture? Why is this place empty? Today, there were a lot of people who came in pairs.
There were a couple over there, and a bunch of men, obscene men, over here. That looks like fun. While holding the camera happily, I said, Oh, it’s Ofune. There’s a Shonan model over there. Well, anyway. Why isn’t this place perfect for two people? Another person sits over there.
So, what’s the matter with you sitting like this? Are you okay? So, has anything good happened recently? Did something bad happen? While drinking alcohol while listening to such complaints . We have a chat. I feel sorry for them who couldn’t do that. I would like to exchange this seat with you.
I feel sorry for them. Well, I’m happy. Is it okay for one person to use a room like this, such a large room? Is it okay? That’s no good. Well, let’s calm down and go to this second floor seat. Climb this ladder. Climb this dirty dirty ladder. I mean, it’s dirty.
The Sunrise Seto is a very clean train, but I made it dirty. How do you climb? It might be better for elderly people not to take a single or twin bed , or even if they do, it might be better not to sleep on the upper floor.
This place is also quite small. As for how narrow it is, you’re climbing up such narrow stairs. I have some clothes, so it’s okay if I pull them like this. It was going up the stairs that I had made dirty, and it was shaking all the way down the ladder
, and it was terrible. It’s not that bad. It doesn’t shake much, but it does shake quite a bit, right? The Odakyu Line was there now, so it probably passed through Fujisawa. This is how I got to the upper floor, but the curtains on the upper floor cannot be moved by hand either.
You can open the curtains with a button. Even on the lower floor, you can control the curtains. How expensive and how dangerous? It’s so expensive, isn’t it? scared. If you fall, it’s over. Really, I think I’m going to stop fooling around upstairs because I might die. I wonder what this baggage
Is going to fit in here. But, if you put something in here, you ‘ll definitely forget it 100% of the time, so let’s not touch it. Well, it’s really scary. Well, I’m scared of coming down. How should I get off? Good. If you get hurt, it’s over. Get off like this.
No, it’s scary. I’m scared of falling and getting hurt, and I’m also scared of damaging train equipment. I cannot pay such damages. I would like to express my respect to everyone at JR Tokai, JR East, JR West, and JR Shikoku who operate the trains safely, and
To the people who manufacture and maintain these trains. I would like to express my respect to other customers, and as long as it does not cause any inconvenience, I would like to spread the word about this beautiful sleeper express to many people around the world , but anyway , that’s
The best thing. If you ask me how I can contribute, I think it would be to show everyone how I am genuinely enjoying the sleeper express , what do you think? Don’t you feel like you’re talking a few hundred times faster than usual? I don’t think it’s because of the alcohol.
It’s so much fun riding the sleeper express . I can adjust the air conditioner here and turn it on and off here, but this air conditioner under the floor, I can’t turn it off. It’s a little noisy, so I think I’ll just sleep upstairs.
Well, for now, would you like to explore the inside of the car? heavy. Lock it like this, huh? This is a first-floor room near the railroad tracks. I could hear interesting conversations coming from all around the room. sleepy. I sleep too much. You’re sleepy, aren’t you? That’s nice.
I think I’ll ride Sunrise every month. It’s empty. This is also on a trolley. It’s cold on the deck after all. Should I brush my teeth here? I feel sleepy already. I’m feeling sleepy. I’ve only ridden Sunrise once. I rode the single deluxe, but what else, like this solo?
I’ve never ridden a normal one. Something like Novinobi. Shall we go see Novinobi? It’s a sleeper express, so I’m really happy that there are plenty of toilets and sinks. Shall I wash my face with this? No way. You look tired, face. I wonder how many people ride to Kotohira. This is Novinobi seat.
You don’t need a sleeper ticket, just a limited express ticket. This is the overall diagram of this train. There are two 7-car trains, for a total of 14 cars. I’m currently in car number 3. Shower cards are located in cars 3 and 10. This is also a quite impressive conductor’s room.
It is rare that it is made of glass. It says it’s a passenger guide, but I wonder if it was also a tourist guide. There are quite a few people using it in groups. Nobinobi, isn’t it pretty good for group use? Looked like fun, everyone.
Isn’t there a lot of people in the lounge? Is it a funky vehicle? It’s a company that makes things like Tobu Railway and Kintetsu. It’s already a holiday broadcast. They say they won’t broadcast to Okayama Station. I can probably live here for a week. Really. We’ve already passed Odawara.
You can see the ocean over there, can you see it? Oh, no. Is it a highway or a bypass? I don’t know though. There’s a fishing port over there, so you can eat some food. There’s also a 7-Eleven. I think we’ll be passing Hayakawa station soon. I’ll be in Atami soon.
Oh, is it the E233 series? this is. I finally crossed the Kannami Tunnel and arrived at Atami Station, but for some reason I was driving slowly. Is the train late?
But it seems like there was a delay on the Yokosuka line in the afternoon and evening, so maybe that delay is having a ripple effect. But what do you think? We arrived at Atami at a very slow pace. I’m wondering
If I’ll be able to get to Okayama Station and then Kotohira Station safely if things continue to be delayed, so I think I’m going to sleep. I can’t help but feel sleepy and sleepy. I went upstairs and said, “ You don’t have to wear this anymore.” Put your pillow here.
However, it’s a little cold at the top. It’s a firing melody. Is there going to be a launch melody even after the holiday broadcast? Hey, interesting. For now, I think I’m going to sleep. I’m going to bed. I woke up at 6 o’clock today.
I woke up at 6 o’clock, right? I’ll probably wake up at 6am tomorrow too, right? I haven’t seen any work done to separate Okayama Station, as expected. This is how you can sleep on the sleeper express train. A blanket would also be appropriate. Ah, I’m so happy. Curtain:
Ah, Atami is quite a city. At night, the shopping street is empty. Oh, there’s a lineman. I am always grateful for your help. I am truly grateful. It ‘s because the track maintenance workers work so hard to protect the tracks that we can have such fun and enjoyable trips. Now, the
Eyelids can be tightened electrically and the eyelids will no longer open. The power of alcohol is amazing. I think I’ll turn off the light and go to sleep. I’m happy that this is a sleeper express trip. I forgot to brush my teeth. That’s right, this train has won the Good Design Award.
That’s why it’s cool. And it’s comfortable. I just finished brushing my teeth, and the train was driving very slowly. It’s probably too late. Eh, but the express train is operating normally. It says “Sunrise Izumo” and “Normal driving”. Do you feel like you’re about 5 minutes late?
It’s 23:39, 37 minutes now, 2 minutes left. Well, the time is now around 1 o’clock and we are about to arrive in Hamamatsu. I’m currently crossing the long Kao River. I’m crossing the iron bridge. The direction I’m going to sleep in is over there, and the back is over there, but
It’s wider this way. That’s why the head is over here, but the outlet is at the bottom. I had brought a 2m cable, but it could only reach this far, so I decided to sleep like this. Sounds good. Then, I can look at my smartphone while charging it, and
This camera can also be charged, so I decide to sleep like this. Even with this width, I can still sleep, so good night. this is? Hamamatsu? Where is it? I do not know. I wanted to see Lake Hamana, but it’s night and I can’t see it, so it’s okay.
I thought it would be nice to see the track maintenance work, but I set an alarm for around 7:27am, turned off the lights, and went to bed. Good night. I’ve just arrived at Hamamatsu Station, but I’m staying overnight on a Shinkansen platform where no one is boarding.
I turned off the power and it stopped. Oh, there’s someone on the train. Is it a security guard? That’s how you look around with a flashlight. I think I’ll go to bed after watching the maintenance work at night. Isn’t there? The Tokaido Shinkansen is next door, so there you have it. I saw.
That’s how we do maintenance work. I wish I could see the work being done on conventional lines, but what do you think? I don’t think I can see it. The air is dry after all. I should have wet the towel and dried it. I forgot to do it.
But if you cover your face with a blanket, you’ll be fine.
I traveled from Tokyo to Takamatsu on the “Sunrise Seto” Japanese sleeper express. What a single twin room we had this time! It’s a bunk bed room! It was very exciting, just like a secret base.

Train travel is fun
