Because of its rarity they say you will be blessed with more fund and happiness just by spotting one!

Yes, indeed it's very hard to spot one. The operating companies of the trains, JR Central and JR West do NOT announce their operating schedules. What we are certain is that the trains run every ten days to cover the Shinkansen tracks of JR Tokaido / Sanyo Shinkansen Lines, and that there are some people who fortune-tell the train schedules.

Thanks to my photographer friend I could wait at a platform of Tokyo Station just in time to view closely a Doctor Yellow pulling into the station the other day.
