Hi JR Pass experts!
After having read your blog on sleeper trains and the various existing questions in the forum, i'd like to ask your thoughts/suggestions on taking a sleeper train from Tokyo to Miyajimaguchi the day we land. Either taking the limited express Sunrise Seto or Sunrise Izumo.
We arrive at Narita airport at 14:05 and will begin our adventures in Miyajima the next day.
We're thinking of taking to train to Tokyo station, storing our luggage then shop around Akihabara. Looking at Hyperdia there are possible options to take the sleeper train at 10PM and 3 transfers.
Our question is... is this possible? Is it likely the seats will be fully reserved on a weeknight? Should we have a plan B?
Any other suggestions/ possibilities very welcomed!
Thanks.
