Japan has also nice sleepers, but they are not bullet trains, plus, way way more expensive, and not a mass phenomenon.
- lmm 5y agoThere's one (and a half) last scheduled sleeper train in Japan (as distinct from luxury cruise trains), the Sunrise Izumo / Sunrise Seto, which has fairly reasonable prices, although as you say it's a conventional train and much slower than the Shinkansen.
