Having been on sleeper trains in America, I absolutely love 'em. Sure, they can be a bit inconvenient at times, not to mention slow, but if you're just looking to relax or sleep for a while but still get yourself somewhere it really can't be beat. It's a whole vibe. Especially if you're out during the day and get to actually see things.

Just a tip when booking this train, the booking of the train starts at exactly a month ago at 1am GMT (so if you want to travel in June 6th, the room will be avialable to book at May 6th 1am GMT). The best room will be sold out in less than one minute. It's really hard to get one (but it was worth it to me if anyone's curious)

@@destituteanddecadent9106 Yeah, this compared to the Amtrak sleeps and the long-distance trains(Which in the US are designated explicitly as trains that go over 750 miles, I don't know what that is in kilometers, and I accidentally deleted this comment the first time I wrote it, so I really don't want to look it up) kinda surprised me. Some differences I've seen are just how cramped and sorta dingy it was compared to Amtrak, which over the past few years has been upgrading everything, from its service to its equipment. They even just put out a thing saying that they are going to be buying a lot of new trainsets over the next few years. But some differences. First, the quality of the service just seems lacking compared to Amtrak. Like the bedrooms felt cramped, old, and uncomfortable, meanwhile, on Amtrak, the largest bedrooms can sleep up to 4 people, usually have a shower and toilet within them(Expect for roomettes), and come with a complementary meal service, and an attendant who will do a number of things, from delivering food, to even setting up the bed, and converting the room from the sorta chair and table setup it starts out with, to the sleeping arrangement. Meanwhile, the worst you can get on a long-distance or sleeper, and which is the standard for most of Amtrak is coach seating(Which depending on the train, can also come with various levels of service, and usually gives you access to the cafe car, which is where you get things like snacks, drinks, and more quickly prepared food). Meanwhile, the worst on this train was a pillow on a soft floor. And I thought that the train not really having a coach section was kinda weird. Do these slower sleepers in Japan have a coach section on them sometimes? Anyways, I also thought that the shower being something you had to reserver was kinda odd, since, on amtrak, the shower is in your bedroom on the train. And over all Amtrak more sells the experince rather than the transport with its sleepers and long-distance. You get to go where comfortably, with the service and the experience of riding the train with it. (Of the course the government, mainly local governments and representatives like long-distance trains more for connecting rural communities). In fact Amtrak advertises the experince on these trains more than anything else when it comes to long distance and sleepers. you get to see amazing landscapes(Some trains take multiple days to get from one terminus to the other), have a comforable time, and go to a lot of places(connects to many cities, and thruway bus can get you further, to a lot of national parks and cities outside the train's route). So yeah, I guess I was just surprised that Japan's slow sleepers, which are in a country that makes the US's passenger rail look like a model train set, are so dissapointing: old, dingy, not really all that reliable, hard to access, and with kind of poor service. Well Amtrak literally prides the experience and service you get riding on, with it being able to back it up to boot(As long as you are delayed by a freight train, or derail, that actually happened this year), it was just kind of surprising to see that Amtrak's long-distance trains were just so much better compared to this.

I love your videos Connor and Chris, and your wacky weekends are pretty legendary. The train journey looks quite enjoyable to me, so I dont really get all the complaining from it. Also, if I get 3 to 4 hours sleep per night, that is quite good for me. There are many nights where I get quite less than that. Be thankful for the sleep you got on that train and in general. I really dont wish anybody to have such a bad sleep as I have.

It was nice to see and hear excited Chris was when he heard that it was travelling with Sleeper train. I actually saw this combining of trains from YT Solo Travel Japan videos. Suddenly, this train trip reminded me of old train travelling with Finnish Lättähattu, which is much older version of train. I visited one cafe, which has used this Lättähattu as cafe restaurant model. It was nice how in the end Chris was happy to visit and travel again with this train!!
