A little City Hotel mood, Sunrise Seto / Izumo's finest single room I tried a single deluxe

People who wish to move between Tokyo and Osaka as soon as possible should use a high speed bus for those who want to travel by plane or Shinkansen at a cheaper price and if they say that work is in the early morning of the next day, I think that you will be entering the site. However, if you want to move slowly without worrying about the price, using a sleeping limited express is also a hand. that isSunrise Seto · Izumois.

Although I think that there is an image of the former two-stage couch as a sleeping limited express, the 285 series of JR West vehicles used in Sunrise Seto · Izumo are equipped with comfortable private rooms. This time, I was able to ride the most prestigious A single room (single deluxe) among them. Apart from the fare, it is necessary to pay 10,180 yen for express charge + bed charges, but it was just room to match the price.

Details are as below.
Osaka station in the late night. Sunrise Seto · Izumo's bound for Tokyo leaves Osaka Station at 0:34.


Look at the JR Kyoto line home from the home where Sunrise arrives and departs. It is the last train leaving Osaka station at 0:28 on the train bound for Takatsuki from Nishi - akashi.


The ride position is here.

A train came around 0:32.



There were not many people riding from Osaka.


The layout of the room is like this. It is arranged alternately above and below. It was room on the top this time.


There is a number lock on the door. You can keep your luggage safe even on a single trip.



So I tried to enter the room. This is a view from the bed looking at the table side.

There is a power outlet of AC100V on the washbasin, and electric razors and dryers can be used.

It seems it was a purse of assortment of amenity, and while it is used up, there are almost all things that would have been better if there was a long time ride from Tokyo to Izumo City / Takamatsu. Of the things that are often placed on the washstand of the hotel, it feels that all but the items that are installed are included. It is much better than a little business hotel.

Passing around Omihachiman Station. With a passenger limited express towed by the locomotive, the feeling of accelerating and decelerating is transmitted when you start running or when you stop, but because you are using a train, it is a smoother ride than that. Compared to the Shinkansen, there are inevitable vertical vibration, but considering sleeping, this is a vibration leading to comfortable sleeping and you can sleep sound till the next morning. Also, because there is also a large table in the room, people who have to work can also expand their laptops and be able to work, and it is a facility that can be used well in business.


Arrived at Tokyo Station at 7:08 in the morning. The distance traveled from Osaka was 556.4 km, the boarding time was 6 hours 34 minutes. The fare is 8510 yen for the fare, the express charge + the bed rate is 10,680 yen. If you use Nozomi you can arrive at 540 yen for the limited express fare from Shin Osaka to Tokyo and a travel time of 2 hours and 30 minutes, but even if you use the first bullet train, arrival is at 8:26, For those who have to arrive in Tokyo Sunrise is recommended.


Postscript: Since it is a sleeping limited express, we fixed "Express rate + sleeping rate" instead of "limited express charge".
