@@pattyk734 Yes because Ford, GM etc were pure evil and got into bed with the government at the time and designed it that way. We the public were screwed.
This train is beautiful!!!! I loved how seats on one side faced the window, such a unique layout. OMG...those deer!!!! I could have spent all day watching the deer 🦌. Thanks for taking us along!
Even the light frame and ceilings are designed to fit the vintage theme. The attention to detail is so on point. I've also been to Nara and too scared to buy the deer cookies in fear of them chasing me hahha
The train looks really lovely, I love the space for wheelchairs. The elegance of the dear crossing the street without a care in the world was a great sight. When you arrived on the train back to Kyoto I said to myself: he is going to buy that pudding straight away, I wasn't wrong 😂
A very nice day trip. The train is beautiful. The inside is definitely unique. Loved the looks of the pudding and the mandarin orange juice. I would have definitely kept the pudding container. Could have used it for homemade jam, plus the cap was adorable. Never saw mandarin orange before. It looked good and refreshing. So glad I took this trip with you today. Will definitely see you in the next one. Take care, stay safe. 😊
Hey I think Amtrack has some pretty nice train cars, particularly the newer observation lounges. As a matter of fact the last time I took a ride on the train there was barely any blood on my seat.
@@erikawanner7355 I lived in Japan for four years (in the late 80s). It is such an amazing country in so many regards. Loved every day I was fortunate enough to live there. ❤️
Hello! I've really been enjoying your videos. I'm learning Japanese (at a snail's pace) right now and I've got maybe 50-100 kanji right now, but it's very informative to watch these videos you make! I absolutely love the format without talking as it makes it a very relaxing experience and allows me to focus mostly on reading different signage around you. I've even LEARNED a few kanji by seeing them several times throughout different videos! Thanks a lot for posting from Washington USA
The train is so nice and fresh-looking and such a great price! I also can't believe how inexpensive your lunch was and it looked delicious. What a great little day trip!
I love that the seats are sold in pairs. This way there is no danger of a stranger sitting in front of you. This is a great sign of respect for the natural space and privacy that human beings need. Unfortunately this is constantly overridden in most societies/cultures, and it creates anxiety. Thank you for the video , arigato gosaimas 😊
Bellissimo! Un comfort caldo ed accogliente. Naturale e non con le fredde forzature moderne. Mi e' piaciuta molto l'architettura della Prefettura di Nara, costruita in Giapponese moderno che mi ricorda il Razionalismo Italiano. L'argomento cibo mi lascia sempre meravigliato, e' di straordinaria varietà. Quando verro' in Giappone, penso che trascorrerò molto tempo a mangiare! Beautiful! A warm and welcoming comfort. Natural and not with the cold modern forcings. I really liked the architecture of the Nara Prefecture, built in modern Japanese which reminds me of Italian Rationalism. The topic of food always leaves me amazed, it is of extraordinary variety. When I come to Japan, I think I will spend a lot of time eating!
I know you are used to it but what is really amazing is that the mark on the floor is EXACTLY placed to match the wagon number. Look from 13:01. Car #4. Reflex of the floor mark: #4. This never happens here! (we're lucky to have a rough idea of where the train cars will stop. This precision is out of this world 😁
This is the first video I have seen that showed wheelchair accessibility for travelers. My sons (who have traveled often to Japan) told me that I could never visit Japan because the country cannot accommodate wheelchair bound. I would like to see more of how Japan accommodates people such as myself. It is a dream of mine to visit.
It's not rare to see people on wheelchair getting on and off the train by themselves in the urban areas. You can ask the staff for assistance and they will set up a ramp for you free of charge with no reservation required. They will also help you get off at your destination. If you wish to go to a super rural area (i.e. unmanned station), you need to inform the railway company in advance.
Japan is becoming much more accessible. Most buses and trains in my area are accessible. Elevators to train platforms often have two doors, front and back, so there's no need to turn a wheelchair around, you can roll on and off in the same direction. Theaters and cinemas also have wheelchair seating, and shopping malls are accessible. Cultural sights like temples and shrines, because they are old, are more difficult to modify, but if you inquire they often have a ramp.
Asian countries are funny. You'll find a lot of accommodations for certain types of disabilities, but not others. For example, look at the sidewalks in the video (8:25): there's a lot of tactile paving for vision impaired people. Another thing specific to Japan is special facilities in public toilets everywhere for those with ostomy bags (14:22 Japan has a high colon cancer rate). Wheelchair accessibility is difficult due to the lack of space in the country and old buildings, but yeah things have improved markedly over the last 10 years.
Thank you for doing this video. Thank you for pointing out the Public Address Announcement in English. I was also listening to the background sounds & voices. The deer were gorgeous. Do they have caretakers/rangers? I'm glad you enjoyed your trip!
Oh wow what an amazing train..I just love the deer roaming round the street..We've also had some really hot temperatures here in the UK...Great trip thank you so much
I love your videos! Thank you for taking us with you while you travel. If I ever get to travel to Japan, I will use your videos as a reference. Oh, and I downloaded the Google Translate app, and I can aim my phone at the video (paused) and it will read and translate all the Japanese signs and writing for me! Totally awesome!
we took this train today from osaka to kyoto and it was amazing! we wouldn't have known about this train without this video, so arigato gozaimasu, STJ! ❤
Bald lil dude in Nara Stn. with antlers sprouting out of his head is perhaps the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in one of your videos Ha Ha. What a cool train. Ultra classic with ultra modern seats and energizing lamps. Cool.
If there were a train like this in the UK it would be so expensive to travel on you would have to either be rich or save up to travel on it. I could not imagine our local council opening up their probably subsidised municipal offices canteen to the public. Excellent cheap day out, I would very much enjoy doing that journey.
What a beautiful train! Like others who've commented, I wish our trains in the USA were as lovely - and as clean! My family and I visited Nara in 1997. The multi-great grandparents of today's deer were just as aggressive (and cute). They reached into my pocketbook and ate the map I had in there. Of course they ate the deer cookies too.
Wonderful film thanks. I took the bullet train from Toyko to Kyoto and small train to Nara but not custom as shown . That train was not running back then. US can learn how t recapitalize rural areas by upgrading trains to connect small places quickly.
I love the train with its motif,maroon carriages with gold highlights,very distinguished. Do you have to recite the 'Namu Amida Daibutsu' mantra when eating the pudding? Thanks for another lovely video.
That was a super video, train, dessert and OJ, on my bucket list now… next time I leave England for Japan I will try this along with other journeys you have shown, your my travel agent, thank you Solo San. 👍🙏👍
The train is so beautiful and yes the humidity in japanese summer is hardcore Haha I was sweating non stop , but also amazes me I never saw japanese people sweating like me haha... it more extreme than Sydney Summer,
What a beautiful train. I really love the design elements, colors, and décor. It looks like it would be an incredible experience. Thank you for taking us along!
I love your content. It is always so interesting. I just wanted to let you know that also are blessed to have Sika deer in the US. In a little town in Virginia named Chincoteague and on the National Refuge on Assateague Island. It is also a National Seashore. I was very happy to see the Sika on your channel. Thank you.
I figure it was fried octopus :-) looks nothing like pork! Also, I could not have eaten 1/3 of that! anyway, glad to see you again, your channel is my favorite japanese channel
Your choice of lunch spots reminds me of when I have business in Sacramento (state capital of California). I usually have lunch at the cafeteria inside of CalPERS (retirement agency for stae employees).. It is open to the public too, and it is the best cafeteria of any agency in Sacramento.
Beautiful train, good food and absolutely beautiful table side lamps! Guess I'll just have to make do with my color changing salt lamp. I think it has powers too...... 😂

Those blue table lamps are lovely! I’d like to have something like that for my bedside table.
I really like how reasonably priced snacks on the train are. It really helps people to enjoy the view without worrying spending too much on food.
What a cool train! Loved those seats and the funky lamps on the tables! The deer were cute, too.

I remember the deer in Nara, they could hear the opening of anything in a packet a mile away! The train is lovely - must do that next time I'm there 😀

Find mandarin oranges in small cans at any US grocery store.
You can find fresh mandarins in the grocery produce dept. sold under the name of clementines.
@@tapestry6455 Yes, I know. I was referring to mandarin orange juice.
@@AuntK68 Yes, I know. I didn't realized they made orange juice with them.
I would have kept the pudding container as well 😆
Wow, Solo Traveler, these train cars are gorgeous!
Another great video. I loved the train and the deer.
This beautiful commuter train puts U.S. trains to shame and the station looks immaculate!
Part of that is the culture…. They believe strongly in cleanliness

Yup, the US “rail system” is among our more embarrassing infrastructure failures.
Your seats seem especially nice. The view is wonderful and the seat look comfortable.
I really like the vintage look

Hello fellow Washingtonian learning Japanese :D
Very nice videography! And delicious jiggle pudding for desert! Would be great if this gorgeous train would go farther.....
Thoroughly enjoyed this. The coupling of the trains at the end of the video is super awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are fantastic! Watching from Washington State USA.
What a beautiful train! Thank you! That was fun. Look out for the deer.
Trains in Asia are in a different world compared to north America! Can't wait to experience this myself!
The train is so nice and fresh-looking and such a great price! I also can't believe how inexpensive your lunch was and it looked delicious. What a great little day trip!

This was uploaded on my birthday 🎂. Thanks for the relaxing and awesome video.
That lone deer crossing the road is just soooooo precious! I can't wait to go back to Nara! My last visit was back in 2017.

Какой красивый (снаружи и внутри) поезд! И очень комфортный. Спасибо, что показали нам оленей, они явно избалованы туристами.
