>>1017539Hey, I took one like that too. This was back in '08 on Hikari, which I think would've been a 500 or 700 series.
JR Pass is awesome. I didn't bother with the green version, but I was in Japan for 3 weeks that trip and I traveled all over the place with mine. I took several trips from Tokyo to Osaka and Kyoto, and another up to Hokkaido. I took the Hokutosei for the northbound side of the latter and that was awesome, I think I had to pay a bit extra but I highly recommend it if you want a taste of the classic sleeper car experience.
