>>971529>Hokutosei, Cassiopeia, Twilight ExpressI get that busfaggotry/LCC's make the normal blue trains uneconomical, but those luxury services were adored and had decent ridership didn't they? That at the very least should be a viable model, JR kyushu was planning some overnight seasonal service at least I heard, which while not a regular service is better than nothing. But surely there's a viable business model in there somewhere.
>Assuming you are the guy who rode on the Sunrise IzumoYeah that was me, the above is the Seto before departure from Takamatsu though. Used it as my hotel with the JR pass four times in multiple directions. And the Hamanasu a few times before that shitty new Shinkansen killed it too.
>I would expect sleeping on what basically a hard floor without any pillow would suck.I mean considering it's free accomodation with the JR pass it's nice but yeah, just not sure why they couldn't pad it slightly more, literally nothing but a thin carpet on a hard wood/metal base.
