Osaka to Kyoto sleeper trains in April 2008/2/3 15:15
I'm trying to plan a trip to Tokyo (from Osaka, and return) and wanted to take a sleeper train. The Ginga will be out of service by that time. Are there other sleeper options available? I saw that the Fuji stops in both cities, but how can I find out the pricing for the shorter itinerary and more specific details?

The Fuji/Hayabusa is not an option, because the Tokyo bound train do not stop in Osaka and Kyoto, while the westbound trains arrive in Osaka/Kyoto already around 1am.

The Tokyo bound "Sunrise Seto/Izumo" leave Osaka at 0:34 and can be used for an overnight trip to Tokyo. But the trains in the opposite direction do not stop in Osaka/Kyoto. They do stop in Himeji at 5:24am, though.

I would also be looking into overnight buses:
