    You didn’t get scammed. The price sounds right for reserved seats. You can get cheaper tickets that are not reserved, but then you’ll have to be in line till you find a train that has available seats or basically be standing till someone gets off and you take that seat. There are great online offers and packaged deals, so maybe try buying online next time:) Or you can get a JR pass. It’s worth it if you are traveling a lot in Japan.

      @@unknownvlogs yeah, you did not get scammed. The worker did not scam you. That’s the going rate for the Shinkansen to Kyoto or Osaka from Tokyo for reserved seats. It’s even a bit more for the Green car, which is like Business class, but totally worth it imo. Also, you should’ve picked window seats for view if you’re buying reserved seats.
      As far as food, they stopped the concession carts recently, but most people buy Ekiben at the station, which are like bento boxes of various foods of your choosing so you can eat it on the Shinkansen. Some really quality stuff for about $6-$12.

      On our recent trip in February, the shinkansen tickets from Tokyo to Kyoto were roughly ~115,000 japanese yen one way so yup definitely makes sense. bummer that the JR rail pass took such a huge price hike or else it would have gave them so many more day trip opportunities.

    • @unknownvlogs
      @unknownvlogs  9 місяців тому +8

    • @TRUMPmyOSHI
      @TRUMPmyOSHI 9 місяців тому +1

      @@henlolneh 115000 (about $1000) would be an absolute scam for that distance! Unless it’s a total for a large group! 😅 The average price is 14,000~15,000, and 18,000 for first class.

  • @PNGhee
    @PNGhee 9 місяців тому +1

    The reason why the bullet train costs that much is because you are travelling across the country... Get plane tickets and go through the hassle of checking in etc. and pay similar price if not more.. But for the bullet train you just sit tight and you are there in a couple hours.. The price is right too.

    Why are you disrespecting the slurping? That's literally how they eat noodles over there. Don't be one of "those" travellers. Slurping in Japan is a sign of appreciation, and shows how much you're enjoying the food. It's encouraged.

    • @daviscool886
