All aboard! Join us as we adventure overnight on Japan’s last sleeper train, the Sunrise Express.

Taking the Sunrise Seto and Sunrise Izumo is like traveling on a moving capsule hotel through Japan’s nightscape. It’s so magical to fall asleep in one city, and wake up in a completely new one!

When you take the Sunrise Express you’ll be immersed in immaculate 90s vibes, and overall, this experience is the highlight of a trip to Japan!

In this video, we’ll show you every best part of this Japanese train journey, talk about the best travel itineraries to pair the train with, give a complete and comprehensive room tour and even have a walkthrough booking guide!
