● Item Introduction

The 24 Series Sleeper Limited Express "Hokutosei" was introduced in 1988 to coincide with the opening of the Seikan Tunnel, connecting Honshu and Hokkaido. It operated between Ueno and Sapporo, and was well-received for its hotel-like services.

◆ This set not only allows you to recreate the "Hokutosei," but also the "Yumekukan Hokutosei" from the early Heisei period, when the Yumekukan cars were combined with the Hokutosei cars.
