8:05 Is something I believe a lot of businesses should learn, especially western ones. If you're gonna be expensive, you're better off charging it all from the get go. Don't involve more costs afterwards, especially tips. It really deters from the experience to have to worry about paying more when you already paid a lot at the beginning.
PS: that train is straight out of Snowpiercer
I would say thats a standard outside of US
@@andrejhallder1016 Yeah, specially in Maldivas, they beg you for tips and charge for absolutely the most common stuff
The lounge car made me think of Snowpiercer.
@@TooMuch637 I was thinking in the movie also, but the nice side of course 😅 what a great train
For 900,000-1.3million yen it better be all inclusive (that's the 2024 trip price range)
This is the level of service that Japan can only provide, they will serve you at their best and not waiting for any tip, it's expensive but it gives you a more relax and best experience to not of think of anyother things outside what you are paying. Lovelove Japan.
Dude americans be crazy XD
@@GabrielTobingwe’re crazy w tipping in the USA. But literally the waitresses refuse to remove tipping and I can see why. At a nice restaurant, four of us paid $80 in tips alone. We were only there for an hour. Now imagine if that waitress had only two tables. They’re easily making over $100/hr for their jobs. When I first started working I got a weekend waitress job for fun and was making more in tips than my finance job. Fucking crazy.
SKUPO
@@StaRRend its because the restaurants only pay us $2.14/hr. its a legal loophole that allows companies to not pay their employees. so we have to have tips or we dont get paid. but yeah its better than min wage elsewhere.
@@StaRRendit’s because of low pay, it’s the only way they can make a decent living
Japanese live on a different planet .. love and respect .
Japanese ARE the different planet. The people make the society. But how long before Japan too, succumbs to the globalist pressure to import hordes of thirdworld savages to usurp and corrupt the nation?
its so adorable that they all are waving goodbye. Japan never ceases to amaze me.
Is it? Looked like something you'd see in North Korea to me.
@@DrSprigs how so

@@browhat4008why did you bring black women into this thread?
On the one hand, it's kind of insane that the drivers and guards and staff are trained to wave exactly X number of times at every signal. On the other hand, if I'm paying US$2800 for a train ride, this is the kind of theatre that I feel adds to the value proposition. This is awesome.

I love how you said, “let’s go back to our room after dinner.” I felt like I was on holiday with you! Your videos are excellent and entertaining to watch. I miss Japan. Can’t wait to go back and see this train!
Thank you! I’m very happy that you felt like you were traveling in real life!

いつもありがとうございます。
Thank you for taking us with you on your trip. It was so much fun to experience the Shikishima through your video. 😊
I checked out the official website and saw they also had one Deluxe Suite Room, and a Shikishima Suite Room. Both come with an entire bathtub and a fireplace, and the latter is a two-floor suite. 😮 That really feels more like a hotel room than a train, haha.
As much as I’d love to take the train myself, with the money for one ticket/suite I could fly to Japan 2~3 times. :’)
Its really expensive but I think its worth riding 🙂 However even if you get the money to ride this train its still hard to buy the ticket because its super popular!

Reminds me of the movie Snowpiercer.
Thanks for watching! I've heard of Snowpiercer. It looks interesting so I'm gonna watch it later!!
That’s what I was just thinking, the portion of the train for rich snobby people 😂
I had exactly the same thought 😂. Love that film aswell!! The series on netflix is pretty decent also.
Jun ho bong?
I was about to write the same thing ❤
Thank you so much for recording this. I’m so glad to have found this video. It’s something I’d love to do !!
I’m french and for me, it’s so luxurious train ! Every détails are so stylish and well thought out 💕. Your videos are like fairy tails for me. Thank you 🙏🏼.
I would be STARVING at the end of that trip.
That's what I'm thinking.
Only in Japan! I love how much Japanese love their trains. The Shikishima is extravagant beyond anything I could imagine a train could be. But one thing that seemed a bit out of character, was the use of an ordinary physical key for the traveler’s room. I would have expected something like the electronic keyless entry of modern cars. But that’s a small quibble in such an extraordinary experience as the Shikishima.
Its not just Japan, actually. You should Google the Orient Express. There are plenty of other ones in Europe as well
i bet hes something like weeb @@mandy4679
even japans doesnt use sleeper trains cuz they are considered a nostalgic thing
Did you see the key though? Very complicated one, Chinese can't copy it.
That's a retro experience thing. You see key cards at ordinary business hotel and such so they won't make the cut for the extraordinary. You don't see those physical keys anymore like black and white TVs.
Wow that was one of the more luxurious trips you’ve taken us on. Such a cool looking train too! Thanks for another great adventure ❤
Am I the only one who felt like this train had major “snow piercer” first class vibes.
i was thinking the same thing lol
Same yo
came down here to comment this
that movie is so underrated!
i was thinking the same
Спасибо большое, что взяли нас в это небольшое путешествие на Шикишиме, очень интересно было посмотреть!!
Мне еще очень понравилось, как сотрудники и люди на станции махали в ответ рукой, это так мило и трогательно 🥺
Love the video, the whole experience is amazing. Thanks for sharing. I admire the professionalism and dedication of the train crew!! keep doing those great videos!
this must be one of the few videos on youtube I watched until the end without skipping. Thanks for sharing. Amazing trip! I would love to take it!
That honestly looked like it was worth every penny. I wish we had trains like this in the US.
Thanks for taking me on this trip! Its really nice to be able to see and experience such journeys filmed and edited so well!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the editing!
excellent experience. Thanks for sharing it with us!! 😊😊👏👏👏👏👏👏
So.... peaceful. This video really calmed me down, it was very relaxing even through a screen. Thank you for this, its going in the bucket list.
I've always been in love with Japan and its technology, this train is incredibly charming and beautiful, I love the Japanese people and you will always be in my heart, hugs from a person from Brazil.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I like the waving. it actually makes you feel welcomed and a priority.
Its a nice culture to have!

This was an amazing adventure!❤
just amazing.. that really is a suite train! being used to german commuter railway this looks almost surreal, especially with the whole staff cheering on the platform.
would love to visit japan some day and travel the country by railway
The peace and respectfulness is a pleasure to watch would love to do this one day
Thank you for the gift of sharing this. It's incredible.
This looks like a great experience and something I would want to do when I eventually get to Japan. It's one thing if it was luxury accommodations to just travel, but this is more of a luxury tour through parts of Japan. This is something I would like to experience when I get there. A nice train ride through the country with food/drinks and stops for some tours makes this look like it is worth the expense.

From Egypt, I tell you that the train is wonderful and the entire journey, and the most wonderful thing is the way you photograph and the simple, enjoyable explanation. Thank you for your effort
Your vlog is a refreshing change of pace. Always leaves me inspired.
Wow! I love the window design in the observation and lounge car. Really impressive! As Germany gets dirtier and grittier every day, this reminds me of the good old times
There seems to be great pride in the train, as there should be - what a beauty!
This is amazing. I hope I'll have this experience in the future ❤
This is the most stunning looking train. The attention to detail of Everywhere! The corridors, suites, those unusual shaped windows, then the front carriage viewing, the food! absolutely astounding 😮😍😍 I have seen some gorgeous Japanese trains but this one is worth every single penny, that's not a train trip it's an entire experience ❤❤❤
I am french, one day I dream of going to Japan, I love this culture, the traditions and seeing these beautiful things about this beautiful country, thank you for this video
truly amazing thanks for sharing your trip!
so beautiful, thx for sharing!!!
정말 멋지네요! 덕분에 같이 여행한 기분이 들었습니다
좋은 영상 감사합니다.
Beautiful Train. I absolutely love the quixotic travel. The spacious and cleverly designed cars. Stopping and exploring other places VS Speeding to the destination. The luxury of it all. And of course the excellent cinematography and editing. Thank You 🙏🏻 for the peace, no annoying background music.
thank you for taking us on a trip, very beautiful, clean, calm and delicious! This train is very luxurious, I liked that there is a lot of light, the attendants were all polite! It was very good that the bus was from the same company, that you don't have to run around looking for where it stands, everything is thought out, I also liked that you can put your feet up under the bus seats! anyway everything was awesome!❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
Fantastic! Once again, thanks for sharing!!!

I’m not Japanese, but I love watching things like this and just enjoying the train rides people go on and explain to everyone what everything is, it also why does everything in Japan have to be so high quality!! :(. I wish things in Australia could be high quality
Your comment "...why does everything in Japan have to be so high quality..." is both sad and funny. I live in Hawaii with both my parents who are entering the 80s soon. Hawaii is known globally for its hospitality industry and they both worked so hard for Hilton and Hyatt Resorts to present a high level of service to rude travelers and amazed travelers. It is a cultural thing that most people who live in the Hawaiian Islands do their best to live by, the expression of Hawaiian Aloha. It is a view that all people who come to visit the islands are welcome and deserve respect and kindness for having ventured so far to stop by and visit. Times have been changing since the days of Elvis Presley and Don Ho, yet there are enough people who are willing to tolerate the most abusive of guests until local authorities show a consistent pattern of bad behavior through CCTV-recorded security footage. I know that my career in the cut-throat IT industry in Silicon Desert did benefit from doing my best to show Aloha to the worst of customers to complete any project. I believe the Japanese people share a similar existence of peace without chaos. Thus the role of delivering superior service for people who want to relax and escape the world for a few days is completely understood, especially if the service was paid for in advance.
Beautiful train!! the ASMR vibes are nice too😊
Amazing video! Makes me miss Japan.
This train look like a 5 stars hotel, wooow
There's so much different trains in Japan I'm so glad I'm able to see them thanks to you and discover those beautiful masterpiece !!
I couldn’t agree more!

This is a beautiful train interior. It appears to be Cape gauge 3" 6" the normal gauge for Japan and South Africa. The bullet train uses standard gauge 4' 8-1/2". The square interior decoration likely having a specific name adds a lot to the interior experience. Japan's volcanic derived scenery is definitely or extraordinary interest with its near tropic growth. This does seem like it would be attractive to mostly rail fans. It is slow and there needs to be an interest in the rail experience.
This train is not only popular by rail fans but also from non-train fans. I never knew about the details of this train. Thank you for your valuable comment!

12:03 Japan have some truebly beautiful gardens. I love how they blend human control with the wild look of nature to work as a greater harmony. Soooo beautiful I could sit all day looking out at such a garden and the birds that would visit :)
Wow! Looks amazing. 😮
Thank you for another excellent VLOG, i love this episode as you took the ultra-lux train trip in JAPAN. Thanks for sharing.
I marvel at the interesting structure variety of trains in Japan. Rather than having one design for all train routes as here in the U. S. with Amtrak. There are several in Japan based upon the class of service that they provide.
Thank you for watching! Despite Japan being a small country, it has sooo many types of trains and train routes which makes it really fun to travel.
The US also has special luxury trains.

nearly every train should have more from this wonderfull couch. it looks so wonderfull.
I like to think me as Dutchie, can have a lot of appreciation for this, we too have trains with comfort, but this is by far more then just comfort, this is a pleasure trip if anything.
Thanks for this wonderfull travel. Merci pour ce magnifique voyage.
Really quite interesting. The Japanese design sense throughout blows me away every time! The bathroom is almost better than the scenery! HUGE! But on the other hand, If I ate skimpy but divine meals like that, I would be skinny like a Japanese, too!
This really makes one appreciate the value of a slow train. You can actually grasp the scenery better, more time to absorb it, less blurry. Brilliant!
Completely agree with you! Another reason why this train operates slowly is to maintain a comfortable ride. As you may notice the train doesn’t shake as much compared to normal trains.
What really helps with the weight is that Japan is extremely walkable. The rail network is easy to use, whether it is subways, commuter rail or HSR. Just walk everywhere and walk onto a train when the distance is too great. Meals are perfectly sized - I find them to be very filling, but sometimes supplement with snacks from a nearby convenience store. I've usually lost a few pounds by the time I return from travel in Japan!
@@SoloTravelJournal
Winter coat and snow boots are available for you to borrow for winter course upon request.
@@jamesmcn0000 yeah having 125 million people on a few mountainous islands tends to help with walkability
@@squarecracker American postwar policy explicitly prioritized freight rail, funded the interstate system so strategic trucking could respond to a continental invasion and encouraged air travel as a jobs program for reserve strategic air command pilots. Previously, the US had world-leading long haul and local rail with far less population density than modern Japan.

The people greeting you off are so adorable.
