>>2021335Ok, so turns out you CAN reserve the couchettes but for some retarded reason they show up as a separate train/route entirely (Ginga Recliner vs Ginga Couchette, whereas normally you'd just expect the same train with different carriages to choose from). However when reserving for the 15th now, the couchette only showed up as a possible route from Himeji for some stupid reason instead of from Kyoto, so had to go with a reclining seat. Fuck you JR. (._. )
All reclining seats gone in <2 mins, people clearly want night trains JR fucking bring them back.
