A video of a railroad trip has surfaced online and has gone viral. After watching the video to the end, it immediately becomes clear why the users were so captivated by the silent plot, because in this case it’s not even worth commenting so as not to disturb the especially pleasant atmosphere. It took the author of the story only 17 minutes to cover an unforgettable (as for the passengers of the post-Soviet space) trip, which lasted 12 hours on the Sunrise Express night train.
With the advent of high-speed trains, the need for night trains in Japan has almost disappeared. There is only one Sunrise Express train left, which runs from the Tokyo railway station to Izumo-Shi and back. It covers a distance of 950 km in 12 hours, although during this time you can get to United States, but not the essence, because many people choose this train for democratic prices, convenience and comfort.
On the pages of Novate.ru, trips by Japanese trains have been covered more than once, but this video has interested not only us. As soon as the video hit the network, it went viral, gaining 40 million views. The video is not voiced, but there are subtitles translated into 60 languages \u200b\u200bof the world (including Russian) so that everyone can enjoy travel in a single room, which most of us have never experienced, which are provided in Sunrise double-level sleeper trains express.
When planning a trip, you should take care of purchasing a ticket in advance, even though the train is moving at a speed 80 km / h, there are sure to be those who wish, especially since there are always single rooms of the Solo class (“Solo”) demand. The fare is $197.70. and this is considered the cheapest tickets in terms of individual rooms/compartments, which are preferred by those who want to sleep in comfort. It is worth noting that there is no dining car on the train and you will have to take food with you, although this is not a problem, a lunch box can be purchased directly at the station for about $ 10.
Important! If you decide to take a ride on the Japanese Sunrise Express train, then go to the station in advance, and immediately upon boarding the car, purchase a shower card for $ 3. Their number is limited, so if you dream of taking a shower, do not miss the time.
Now about the two-level carriage itself, in which there are those same single rooms. They are located on both sides of the central aisle and have a closing door, not a banal curtain. A couple of steps and a bunk awaits its passenger. No matter how beautiful and tempting it sounds - a single room, but there is no other way to call this space. However, the traveler gets their own private space with a 196cm x 70cm bed with a large window that can be closed with an opaque roller blind, a fairly spacious luggage rack, a hook and a hanger for outerwear and especially wrinkled of things. The room also has a socket for recharging gadgets, a lighting control panel and an alarm clock that can be set at your discretion.
The ticket price also includes pajamas (in the form of a kimono) with slippers (!), bedding (already made sheets, a pillow with a pillowcase and all-weather blanket in a duvet cover), a towel, a disposable cup set in a special stand so that the contents do not splashes. By the way, pajamas, slippers and bedding cannot be taken away as a memory of the trip. They are neatly folded and left in the room, the conductor does not need to carry all this stuff.
It is worth noting that there is no need to be afraid of a closed door and a window that does not open, since each room has ventilation and the optimum temperature is maintained by air conditioning. The air flow and the degree of heating / cooling are regulated by the traveler.
If the passenger needs to wash their hands or go to the toilet, then a bag with especially valuable items no need to drag, an individual compartment can be closed and a 4-digit code set (the main thing is not to forget). The doors will be locked until he arrives. Sinks with all washing accessories are located just at the aisles, but the toilet, for obvious reasons, is located in a separate compartment.

A distinctive feature of this train and cars, where there are individual compartments, has become a shower room, which can use only if you have a pre-purchased card that gives you the right to cool off in a warm some water. The only thing to consider is the limited time of water procedures. The machine where the shower card is inserted will turn off the water exactly after 6 minutes. Those passengers who are used to taking a shower very quickly have the opportunity to do this twice. Just do not forget to stop the machine in time to save a couple of minutes for the next water procedures.
Important! After taking a shower, leaving the cabin, without fail, everyone must press the self-cleaning button in order to prepare it before the next passenger arrives.
It remains to find out where you can eat your dinner or breakfast, which you prudently took with you on the road. It turns out that this car has its own living-dining room (on the lower level), where you can eat in a pleasant atmosphere, watching the picturesque landscape flickering by. To do this, there are bar stools and small tables by the window, so that everyone can take a free seat and eat goodies or just admire the places that pass.
In continuation of the topic, we recommend that you find out what is railway extreme, and what routes leave indelible memories.
