Do you plan to take it all the way up to Aomori and then move on another train to Sapporo?<br /><br />We only took the train part of the whole train journey but getting the ticket was easy. We literally got our tickets minutes before it was supposed to arrive the station and ran to the platform to catch it. It was pretty empty when we were on board. ^^<br /><br />It was much easier to book seats than trying to get Sunrise Izumo seats, that's for sure! ;)linahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273605189937933589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664130016930236672.post-48870252237554311702011-11-11T23:41:43.050+08:002011-11-11T23:41:43.050+08:00If i may ask, how do you actually buy a ticket on ...If i may ask, how do you actually buy a ticket on Akebono train?

You start the journey at around 7.00pm and arrive your destination the next morning. :)linahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273605189937933589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664130016930236672.post-84647688346939869002010-10-02T15:44:09.520+08:002010-10-02T15:44:09.520+08:00@LR,

The train was an old one, (not a modern shinkansen) so you'll feel the bump and sorts too.
