Train Hostel Hokutosei

I stumbled across this article about the “Train Hostel Hokutosei,” which uses the fixtures from the former Hokutosei night train.

Neat.

Good location. Direct Narita and Tokyo access. I stayed very close by last visit.

Something for when better times return....

 

Train Hostel Hokutosei has been made by reusing beds and other elements of the popular sleeper train Hokutosei.

"The sleeper train "Hokutosei", which was loved by many people and was missed, disappeared due to the abolition of service. It has been revived in Bakurocho as a place to remember the excitement and nostalgia of traveling on a sleeper train. The sleeper train at that time was not only one of the means of transportation, but also a place for travelers to interact. Travelers who happen to be on board will talk about their memories of the trip and become friends who spend the same time together. Train Hostel Hokutosei has started anew with the desire to reach as many people as possible."
