In 1977, we rode on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to its most southerly terminus at the time then transferred to origjnal mainline to Fukoko in the southern island. On the way back, we rode the old original line all the way back to Osaka. Shinkansen is great. But slower original trunk line offers many advantages in Japan. Their not neglecting the original main line is most commended and we should be thankful. I plan to travel to Japan next year or two. Certainly i will ride the Tokaido main line. Thanks for the video.
I always enjoy your videos of you taking the local trains more than the shinkansen. I really enjoy looking at all the different town and scenery between stops. I also like looking around the trains stations, seeing all the different restaurants, convenience stores, and the internet cafes in them.
That was a long day of travel. What I particularly noticed was how quiet the train cars were, even when full of people. You'd never have that level of quietness where I live. I remember one time riding the streetcar in Toronto and the driver had to turn around and tell some women to "pack it up" which meant be quiet 🤐 I was so grateful because these women were so loud!
That's the thing about Japan, no one wants to inconvenience anyone else. So the effect of that is public transportation is dead silent almost all the time.
people often complain about noisy chatty diners in China but in Australia it's just worse (not referring to fine dining places in both countries, just regular ones).
Thanks for entertaining video. Makes me miss the good old day of being a foreing student in Japan. Am planning to visit Japan again before I kick the bucket. I might do this route with my wife.
This is a classically great video blog on many levels. A great guide to budget travel between Osaka and Tokyo but also a travelogue about history, food and culture at various stops along the way. Well done!
Encore une excellente vidéo avec plein de choses à découvrir à nouveau 👍 La gare de Tokyo est vraiment magnifique 🤩 Une journée en trains divers et variés, tu as bien mérité de te reposer 😉 Merciii 😘
I found this Video VERY interesting. I really liked the fact that there were so many different local TRAINS. I loved the ability to get off the train and briefly see the many cities along the Tokaido route . I liked the sampling of the various dishes each region had to offer. It's like a escapade. I learned so many names of Japanese dishes: they looked scumchuous.
I am only part way though your video and I have decided to take the local from NUMAZU to NAGOYA when my wife and I visit Japan for a week in February next year. . . . . a few weeks away, really! I HAD thought of the Shinkansen but it is too costly and the BUS is affordable, but as per your video, the local trains are a really nice way to travel, I am sure. Thank you for a very enjoyable video.
To me that would have been a perfect tourist day in Japan. More than twenty year ago I bought a one week Japan Rail Pass and travelled as far as Kagoshima up to Northern Honshu. While the Shinkansen were fast technological marvels, the countryside flashed by too fast to appreciate. It was the quaint local trains that provided the most fun and scenic views. For someone eager to make a business schedule the Shinkansen are great. But for someone trying to enjoy the trip then slower is better.
Очень здорово, спасибо большое за путешествие. Когда едешь по сельской местности, такое ощущение , что еду по Краснодарскому краю в России. Природа, некоторые домики даже очень похожи. Я просто подсела на ваши видео. Я у же заочно влюбилась в Японию.❤️
5:33 Those are cheap parking rates. 12:14 That is an interesting place to put a ferris wheel in. 19:17 You show Seventeen Ice's vending machines so often in your videos. They should sponsor you. 20:56 Perhaps you should make a video of climbing Mt. Fuji?
Beautiful scenery God's own country, Japan and helpful on-screen explanations. The train reminds me of local trains for short city travel.I am not sure over 5 hours of travel in this train is easy. But the freedom to go out and continue in the next train is amazing. I wish this was in 4K for clarity. Overall, job well done. Thanks
Magnifique reportage d'un voyage en train; de ses plats culinaires et de ses beaux paysages japonais. ⛩️ 🏯 🇯🇵 👏👏👏👏👏 J'aime beaucoup.❤️😊👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *Un abonné français et fan du Japon.*
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and find them very enlightening. Is it easy and cheap to travel with your bicycles on the local and high speed trains? Do you notice many people travelling with their bikes? I like to travel with my bicycle so I can sightsee and get around by bike rather than by car.
That looks like a nice trip to take. Though I feel like that would be more of a 2nd visit to Japan if I did it as it takes a day for just travel. Though you do get to stop at a lot of places.
I didn't know there was a local train system that went between Osaka and Tokyo. I would have rather done that than almost miss my train multiple times taking the shinkansen😅
It's not only between Tokyo and Osaka, and also between Kyushu. Actually, you can take trains between Hokkaido and Kyushu by using this ticket without any changes before 2016. Since the Shinkansen was opening, travelling between Honshu and Hokkaido needs to pay a special charge when using this ticket.
that makes no sense. If you take the shinkansen from Tokyo to Shin Osaka, you risk only missing one train. If you use the entire day and take only local trains, you risk missing many. Not sure what you meant.
@@rhythmdroid you buy the ticket for the shinkanzen and if you miss that train then welp buy a new ticket. If you use the local network you just tap your ic card to get into he station and then tap at the station you get off, it's calculated by distance and takes it out of your ic card even if you hop off the train at a random station and then get on the next train
Ce style de voyage permet de découvrir le pays , quand on a le temps c'est super et le nombre de train le permet aussi . Voila une bien belle façon de voyager aussi .. Merci pour cette vidéo 😀 Michel de France
Saludos desde Maracaibo, Venezuela. Vaya que si es impresionante esta gigantesca estación de trenes. Es económico pero haces como que muchos trasbordos aunque esos paisajes rurales con todo un espectáculo maravilloso. Me encanta ese baño de pies, pues los relaja y evitan que se inflamen por estar tanto tiempo sentados. Ese paso por el Océano esta muy cerca e imagino como sufrirían y las perdidas que tuvieron con el Tsunami del 2011. Parece que el tren es el medio de transporte más usado para trasladarse a las diversas poblaciones y ciudades de Japon. Concuerdo contigo en que es una estación hermosa, gigante y espectacular. Dios te bendiga.
This option of Osaka - Tokyo train was interesting. Didn't know about it. But stretching it to 10 hours with 'Food Stops', even more interesting ! Sorry I couldn't figure out the name of the Railway Station in Tokyo, wonder if you meant the one in Marunouchi. Sorry but the capsule hotel almost chocked me, just by looking ! 👍👍👍
I also tried that with the 18 ticket but it like hell after Osaka to Atami with the metro style long seat but now there is the old home liner trains with the cross seat so it good.
Great video. Long day, but you do get to see a lot more and save some on the fairs. When I was in Japan I traveled from Tokyo to Hakone on a local train. That was a bout two hours of quite warm and humid travel. Did get to see the local country more though.
guten tag...sehr informativ...ich freue mich, mit dir auf die reise durch japan zu gehen...und so schöne bilder, da möchte ich gerne mal sein...danke...
I totally enjoyed this video, as well as all of your other posts. Look forward to seeing them all the time. I have always wanted to visit Japan and maybe one day I might be able to!
Trains in Japan are great, but if I was going to travel from Osaka to Tokyo, I would rather take a limousine bus. The trip takes about 8 hours with one brief stop along the way. It's reasonably priced, and you still get to see all the beautiful countryside along the way. And it is a lot more comfortable.
wahh ini perjalanan yang hebat dan best saya kena duduk lama disana untuk rasai semuanya wahha menjadi mansyarakat asia memang seronok jika mereka juga berasa baik ,kita boleh lihat budaya dia dari pada sini pun dan jepun perlu lebih peramah dan juga tak memaksa diri ,am lain lain tak ada apa sangat cuma terlalu ramai orang yang berusia orang muda tak ramai ,soal keyamanan saya puji dan mampu bagi 5 bintang sebab ia sangat profesional dan juga cekap buat kerja
Actually, you can find ticket reseller shops often around major train stations where you can buy these tickets as the remainder of someone else's used ticket (like just 1 day's worth) or resell your ticket if you cannot use it all up. So you do not have to pay for 5 days if you only really want to use 1 day's worth.
I visited Nakatajima dunes during a stop in Hamamatsu in 2019. My son and I went to the same Ishimatsu gyoza restaurant you were in at the station and we also had the set meal but with 20 gyoza. It was ok, but I make my own all the time, which of course are better, so it was a bit disappointing… 🤷
I was on a bus in USA once and the driver stopped the bus and evicted a bunch of school girls because of the noise they were making. It as scary the noise level.
Osaka Umeda hosts 1 national network (JR), 3 private railway terminals plus 3 city subway stations. All passengers entering and leaving those stations combined yields that number, therefore actual passenger flow will be a little bit over 1 million, well, still enormous indeed.
Another amazing video, thank you for your work. So if the ticket lasts 5 days, could that be used to traverse the whole of Japan by local trains? Or are there segments where no local trains are in service?
@@KyokoUchinoko right, but if I only use JR local trains, you're restricted to a specific part of the country or you could potentially traverse all of it?
That ticket you show at 1:49 is for people up to 18 years old ONLY and it's for 5 days so yes, a bit of a stretch on the title if you take the total purchase price of 12,050yen and divided it by 5 but what about the other $64 you spent if you didn't need to travel anymore and you simply wanted to get from Osaka to Tokyo? It wouldn't cost you $16 as that ticket costs $80 ($16x5 as a 5 day pass).
Thanks for doing the trip. As a tourist I probably value my time more than the money saved and therefore would never be able to see all the stations along the journey.
I love everyone on this channel. It just warms my heart to see such good hardworking people.
29:01 The honking this train does is so cute. 💕

It is also very loud here, something or someone is constantly saying something or someone loudly, which is why I had to leave Tallinn
That's the thing about Japan, no one wants to inconvenience anyone else. So the effect of that is public transportation is dead silent almost all the time.
There is a social norm here about keeping quiet in trains
@@mashucha I have the same social norm but I live outside of Japan, why on earth are people being jerks and loud, I really don't understand?..
people often complain about noisy chatty diners in China but in Australia it's just worse (not referring to fine dining places in both countries, just regular ones).

So much fun. What beautiful scenery. $16 well spent.
That should be 160 dollars. mistake I think.
This is a classically great video blog on many levels. A great guide to budget travel between Osaka and Tokyo but also a travelogue about history, food and culture at various stops along the way. Well done!
Great trip. Suitable for someone who have bulk of time to enjoy local specialities.

I concur, 600 JPY parking will get you barely an hour in bigger cities meanwhile in Maibara it's one whole day in front of the station.
OMG that Terminus deals with more people a day that lives in the entire city of Brisbane in Queensland Australia!! HOLY CRAP!!

I really appreciate your video . Very little talking and not showing yourself always . We enjoyed fully as if we were travelling and making our video
Very interesting how the line separates between different operators!
Osaka - Maibara (JR West)
Maibara - Atami (JR Central)
Atami - Tokyo (JR East)
Awesome video very very useful

thankyou for the video. I decide to catch local train from Atami to Shizuoka this coming December 23.
Your video uplifting me, thanks :)
I also tried that with the 18 ticket but it like hell after Osaka to Atami with the metro style long seat but now there is the old home liner trains with the cross seat so it good.
Like hell ? Uncomfortable seats, rough ride ?
Appreciate your traveling video and have found peace. No one or nation has right to invade another country.

I totally enjoyed this video, as well as all of your other posts. Look forward to seeing them all the time. I have always wanted to visit Japan and maybe one day I might be able to!
このカプセルホテル他の動画でも見ました。人気なんですね。
This reminds of the old days when I was poor student. tokyo to osaka straight on a local train is something I won’t do again.
Wow nice video ❤❤
I'll take the slow train all the time, watch the scenery.
Agonizing if you're a tourist on a short visit, but this could work OK for a family of 4-5 as the 5 days can be used by 5 people for 1 day.
いつも素敵な映像を
ありがとうございます
私は東海道線の沿線に住んでいるので、大阪ー愛知を同じ様に移動した事があります
豊橋駅の手前の、
海のシーンが私の故郷です
これからも楽しみにしています
Я теперь не могу думать ни о чем, кроме этих вкусных пельмешек😅😅😅😋 Ну почему вы так вкусно показываете еду?😅
Japan has the best train network and train cars in the world. Not to mentioned discipline passengers.
まるで私がそこにいるかのように。 とても良いビデオを嗅ぎました。 . 良い翻訳だったと思います
谢谢博主，你辛苦了。没想到在来线只需要不到12个小时就可以完成全程还有时间享受早、午餐，而且车费仅仅2410日元。下次我也周末去转一圈。😎
เยี่ยมมากทิวทัศน์สวย ขอบคุณมากครับ❤

The one way Shinkansen ticket Osaka - Tokyo is 14.720 JPY or around $100. 2 hrs 45.
素晴らしい,何時か小生も体験してみたいです。
撮影お疲れ様でした

若かった頃を思い出させる動画です。私も18キッパーでした。
今でも京都発16時最終電車はあるのでしょうか？あれに乗れば、乗り換えを重ねて、24時過ぎには東京に戻ってこれる。熱海駅で乗り換えた瞬間、未だ静岡県内なのに、ようやく東京に帰ってきた、と一息ついてしまう。いい思い出です。
You are still paying for 5 days, so it's not the cheapest route between tokyo and osaka unless you use it twice.
Actually, you can find ticket reseller shops often around major train stations where you can buy these tickets as the remainder of someone else's used ticket (like just 1 day's worth) or resell your ticket if you cannot use it all up. So you do not have to pay for 5 days if you only really want to use 1 day's worth.

Ótimo vídeo, poderíamos ter no Brasil uma viagem de trem assim, infelizmente nossa malha ferroviária é ridícula...
4:30 の神社は近江八幡 - 安土のあたりですかね？懐かしい景色です。
apakah maksudnya
todos os seus vídeos são ótimos
나리타 공항에서 신주쿠, 신주쿠 역에서 후지산 역까지 완행열차로 한 3시간 타고 간 것도 정말 힘들었는데... 고생하시네요

Impressive! Were you inspired by Miles in Transit's UA-cam adventures using local transit connections to go long distances?
the amount of excessive plastics packing for every small items is amazing. Maybe Japanese companies should try to reduce overpacking and plastic.
Hi.. love your video..
May I know april 2024 still can use this ticket from Osaka to Tokyo..?
Foreigner can use this ticket?
Thank for sharing
very much enjoyed but i think i will take the Shinkansen
Thanks for doing the trip. As a tourist I probably value my time more than the money saved and therefore would never be able to see all the stations along the journey.
