History
The three ''Yume Kūkan'' coaches were built in 1989, and were displayed at the "Yokohama Exotic Showcase '89" event before entering service.Withdrawal and preservation
Following a ''Sayonara Yume Kukan Hokutosei'' run between Ueno and Sapporo, the three coaches were taken out of service from March 2008, and stored at Oku Depot in Tokyo. The OHaFu 25 901 lounge car and OShi 25 901 dining car were sold to Mitsui & Co., and in May 2009, the two coaches were moved to the Lalaport Shin-Misato shopping mall in Misato, Saitama, next to Shin-Misato Station, where they were used as cafe and rest area facilities when the mall opened in September of that year. The two coaches were not officially withdrawn from JR East books until 3 June 2009. The ORoNe 25 901 sleeping car was moved to Koto, Tokyo in December 2011, and opened in February 2012 providing additional seating accommodation for the French restaurant "A ta Gueule".See also
