Hi Andrew,
If you don't have a JR Pass and are a non-Japanese speaker, then the best way to book such a train is via a Japanese travel agency local to you (there will likely be a booking charge). There are currently no easy ways to book sleeper trains in english online I'm afraid!
Hi Mari
Thanks for the information...
