The Nihonkai train is no longer a year round train. Just run at some busy season times, which likely means hard to get tickets.

I took it a few weeks before it was discontinued. Hate to admit it, but it was a rather brutal train trip (all I could get is a top berth and the train was delayed en route for about 5 hours)
