β What is Cassiopeia?
Cassiopeia is a special express train operated by East Japan Railway Company, Iwate Galaxy Railway, Aoimori Railway, and Hokkaido Railway between Ueno Station and Sapporo Station.
Cassiopeia began operation on July 16, 1999 (departing from Ueno) and July 17 (departing from Sapporo). All the cabins are single A sleepers for 2 people, and despite the fact that the special sleeper fare for this train is more expensive than other sleeper limited express trains, it was a very popular train.
The name of the train comes from the constellation Cassiopeia. It is said that the reason for this is that it is a constellation that evokes the image of a night train, and that it is a constellation that shines in the northern sky all night long, paired with the North Star and the Big Dipper.
With the opening of the Hokkaido Shinkansen, about 82 km including the Seikan Tunnel became a shared running section for Shinkansen and conventional lines, and the overhead line voltage was raised from 20,000 V AC for conventional lines to 25,000 V AC for Shinkansen. The sleeper limited express "Cassiopeia" ceased operation on March 19 (departing from Ueno) and March 20 (departing from Sapporo), 2016, and was officially abolished on March 26, 2016, the day the Shinkansen opened.
The regular service of Cassiopeia has ended, but after that, "Cassiopeia Cruise" and "Cassiopeia Travel" are operated as group tour trains.

π§ About This Track
This 28 minutes audio journey has been thoughtfully composed to provide an authentic experience featuring rain sounds that have been carefully recorded and mastered for optimal relaxation. Every element has been balanced to ensure a consistent experience throughout, without jarring transitions or sudden changes that might disrupt your relaxation. The audio quality maintains professional standards, making it suitable for high-quality speakers, headphones, or sleep systems.
The rain sounds in this track range from gentle drizzles to steady rainfall, creating a natural rhythm that the human brain finds deeply soothing. Research has shown that rain sounds activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones and promoting relaxation. The audio captures the full spectrum of rainfall, from the soft patter on leaves to the deeper tones of rain on various surfaces.
Listening to this audio can provide numerous benefits for both mental and physical well-being. Rain sounds have been scientifically shown to reduce cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone. The consistent, natural rhythm helps regulate heart rate and breathing, promoting a state of deep relaxation. Many listeners report improved sleep quality and reduced anxiety after incorporating rain sounds into their routines. For sleep specifically, this audio helps quiet an overactive mind and create consistent conditions for rest.
Research in environmental psychology has demonstrated that rain sounds belong to a category called 'pink noise' - sounds that have equal energy per octave. Unlike white noise, pink noise more closely mimics natural sound patterns, which the human brain finds inherently calming. Studies published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology found that pink noise can enhance deep sleep by synchronizing brain waves with the sound patterns. The rhythmic, predictable nature of rainfall activates the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering a relaxation response that reduces heart rate and blood pressure.
