Sleeper Train Travel in Japan

[kevin_standlee]

Because at least one person commenting to my LJ thought otherwise, I'm posting this reply from NTA regarding sleeper reservations:

Thank you for inquiry. Unfortunately you can not make a reservation out of Japan first you have to exchange Japan rail pass to actual pass then make a reservation

sorry we can not help you

Oh, well, I guess we'll see what's available Sapporo-Tokyo Ueno or Aomori-Tokyo Ueno for September 12 when we arrive at Narita a week from tomorrow.
