Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! nobi-nobi seat 2009/10/22 Could any member please advise if there is night train from either Sendai or Hachinohe for Sapporo with nobi-nobi seat. by liem (guest)   nobi nobi 2009/10/22 There's none from Sendai or Hachinohe, but if you can get to Aomori from Hachinohe then you can take the Hamanasu night train to Sapporo which has nobi nobi seats. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2356.html#24 by yllwsmrf rate this post as useful Reservation for nobi-nobi seat 2009/10/22 Hi yllwsmrf, Thank you for your speedy reply. One more question, do you know if it is possible to reserve seats online ,prior to my arrival in 2 weeks time? by liem (guest) rate this post as useful nobi nobi seat 2009/10/22 Hi yllwsmrf, If I take the overnight JR train, I can save on the accommodation. To try such seats is a new experience. I am most worried that when I arrive in Japan, I can't reserve such seats and I will have hunt for a hotel for that night. Worth trying? by starlight (guest) rate this post as useful hamanasu 2009/10/22 If you are using a JR Pass then it is not possible to reserve this train online in advance. by yllwsmrf rate this post as useful night train 2009/10/22 Starlight, Night trains are a unique experience and I'd recommend taking one if you can, but reserving one for the same night as your arrival in Japan is highly risky. I would recommend planning your trip with a night train ride coming at the end (along with a flexible schedule and alternate plans) to give yourself the best chance of getting the reservations. by yllwsmrf rate this post as useful
