Amtrak Portland Seattle recent customer reviews
I enjoyed the sceneries along the way. My impression of the train is old system. Unlikely of Tokyo. Perhaps upgrade is better.

I don't use short distance train travel much so in my general review everything was fine. Open seating I do like. Boarding was not hard for my needs. Onboard was smooth too.

They cancelled the train so we got put onto a bus that was very uncomfortable. There wasn't enough space for my backpack above so I ended up holding it in my lap which killed my legs. It also took about 30-40 minutes longer.
