>>1492521I did the Hamanasu in 2015 when it still existed, which is probably about as close as I'll get (death to the Hokkaido Shinkansen for ending the service). Have wanted to take the Nagara but as others said seasonability + even more popularity will probably make it impossible to ever snag a fucking seat.
>>1492538Oh yeah the nobinobi is not made for comfort, feels like sleeping on concrete with a thin office-grade carpet on top which is itself about as soft as concrete. Probably because that's basically what it is.
Usually get 2~ hours sleep on it, if that, but muh Experience™.
Funnily enough pic related Hamanasu seats which I had to use on it as the nobinobi was fully booked were definitely more comfortable than the nobinobi on the Sunrise.
