I hope you also manage to get out there and at least see the train, it should be still worthwhile. Steven. Alex,

I am from Hong Kong and will visit Japen in late December. I planned to take the SL departure on 23/12, so I e-mail JR East three times since early November to ask one question, how can I reserve a SL ticket outside Japan. I finally received JR East reply on 23/11: "You can’t reserve a ticket of the SL Banetsu Monogatari from our internet service which is offered for international customers. I’m sorry we can’t meet your request. Thank you for your cooporation." It seem the Xmas special, even the SL Banetsu is only reserved for locals, not for visitors... Anyway, good luck and hope you can take some good SL photo. Finally I find the answer here, no hope for me to travel on SL Banetsu this year…
