The Twilight Express is one of Japanese sleeper train and runs the longest distance in Japan.
Until expansion of Hokkaido-Shinkansen (Bullet train) to Hakodate, the express will stop running regularly.
Therefore, now is the chance for making a journey with Twilight Express, especially if you have JR-Pass.
In the case of bound for Osaka, the restaurant offers French cuisine full course (12,000 JPY) during dinner time, which you should make a reservation in advance. After dinner time, it is possible to eat snacks and drink various liqueurs as pub time. If you want eat something in compartment or couchette, there is a kind of Bento for dinner as the room service. Breakfast is served at the restaurant car(1,575JPY). Both the Bento and breakfast are available to get if you order when the waiters/waitresses comes in each compartment or couchette.
If you have a chance to go to Japan, I highly recommend to get the train ticket and make a trip with the Twilight Express.
