I finally got to ride the Cassiopeia, a train I've always wanted to ride.
This time, I took a 5-hour daytime tour from Tokyo Station to Sendai Station. I will introduce everything in detail, including the luxurious A-class sleeper cabin ‘Cassiopeia Twin,’ the legendary Oofune-ken sandwich, Cassiopeia original sweets, a special bento box filled with Tohoku specialities, and the spectacular views from the observation lounge.
Additionally, an unexpected emergency stop occurred along the way. Enjoy the charm of the Cassiopeia and a little bit of unexpected excitement.
【What is the Cassiopeia?】
The Cassiopeia is a luxurious sleeper express train with all A-class sleeper compartments and two floors, which began operation in 1999 as the first of its kind on the JR network. It primarily operated between Ueno and Sapporo, but its retirement was decided in 2024 due to the aging of the vehicles. This is your last chance to experience this rare journey.
