      I really love trains too, not sleeping trains really bc I literally need complete darkness and quiet to be able to sleep. I still take them when need be because I don’t fly (ecological reasons) so if I want to go anywhere further away from where I live it makes sense. In Europe the quality of overnight trains is vastly different from country to country, just recently I went to Sicily by train (the whole journey also took about 24 hours) and it was so different from the one in Japan. The rooms were for 4 people, so depending on how many people you are with you’ll have to sleep in a room with strangers. The train was incredibly fucking loud you wouldn’t even believe me. I started listening to lullabies in the middle of the night to at least have something pleasant to listen to and block out some of the noise. I will say it really wasn’t the best experience but it was completely fine and it’s always really interesting. On top of that it’s just so much better for the environment so I’ll take it. It also gives you a different feeling in my opinion. Like, you just travel more consciously and when you get to the place you want to go to you really arrive. Don’t know if you know what I mean.

It's a whole vibe. Especially if you're out during the day and get to actually see things.

    • @matthewcron8842
      @matthewcron8842 Рік тому +21

      @@destituteanddecadent9106 Yeah, this compared to the Amtrak sleeps and the long-distance trains(Which in the US are designated explicitly as trains that go over 750 miles, I don't know what that is in kilometers, and I accidentally deleted this comment the first time I wrote it, so I really don't want to look it up) kinda surprised me. Some differences I've seen are just how cramped and sorta dingy it was compared to Amtrak, which over the past few years has been upgrading everything, from its service to its equipment. They even just put out a thing saying that they are going to be buying a lot of new trainsets over the next few years. But some differences. First, the quality of the service just seems lacking compared to Amtrak. Like the bedrooms felt cramped, old, and uncomfortable, meanwhile, on Amtrak, the largest bedrooms can sleep up to 4 people, usually have a shower and toilet within them(Expect for roomettes), and come with a complementary meal service, and an attendant who will do a number of things, from delivering food, to even setting up the bed, and converting the room from the sorta chair and table setup it starts out with, to the sleeping arrangement. Meanwhile, the worst you can get on a long-distance or sleeper, and which is the standard for most of Amtrak is coach seating(Which depending on the train, can also come with various levels of service, and usually gives you access to the cafe car, which is where you get things like snacks, drinks, and more quickly prepared food). Meanwhile, the worst on this train was a pillow on a soft floor. And I thought that the train not really having a coach section was kinda weird.
      Do these slower sleepers in Japan have a coach section on them sometimes?
      Anyways, I also thought that the shower being something you had to reserver was kinda odd, since, on amtrak, the shower is in your bedroom on the train. And over all Amtrak more sells the experince rather than the transport with its sleepers and long-distance. You get to go where comfortably, with the service and the experience of riding the train with it. (Of the course the government, mainly local governments and representatives like long-distance trains more for connecting rural communities). In fact Amtrak advertises the experince on these trains more than anything else when it comes to long distance and sleepers. you get to see amazing landscapes(Some trains take multiple days to get from one terminus to the other), have a comforable time, and go to a lot of places(connects to many cities, and thruway bus can get you further, to a lot of national parks and cities outside the train's route). So yeah, I guess I was just surprised that Japan's slow sleepers, which are in a country that makes the US's passenger rail look like a model train set, are so dissapointing: old, dingy, not really all that reliable, hard to access, and with kind of poor service. Well Amtrak literally prides the experience and service you get riding on, with it being able to back it up to boot(As long as you are delayed by a freight train, or derail, that actually happened this year), it was just kind of surprising to see that Amtrak's long-distance trains were just so much better compared to this.

    I love your videos Connor and Chris, and your wacky weekends are pretty legendary. The train journey looks quite enjoyable to me, so I dont really get all the complaining from it. Also, if I get 3 to 4 hours sleep per night, that is quite good for me. There are many nights where I get quite less than that. Be thankful for the sleep you got on that train and in general. I really dont wish anybody to have such a bad sleep as I have.

    i love trains so much and one of the worst things about america is how shit our rail system is
    i’ve slept on a cramped american sleeper train and it was actually quite nice. i slept like a baby. but i also lived right next to freight and passenger train tracks at the time, they would always come by in the middle of the night. i found the noise and horn comforting
    (i actually went through my really tiny town on this national amtrak train and it was cool seeing my house!!)
    id love to do this sometime it seems so cool. like i get excited seeing all my own state’s commuter train at the transit center every day. this would be amazing

    People want to experience what they don't have access to in their hometown or country. Surely someone like Chris understands this considering his ENTIRE CHANNEL is dedicated to giving us a peak of what it's like living in Japan as an English speaking guy.
    Living vicariously through others is essentially the entire premise of watching UA-camrs 🤷‍♂

    In the U.S., there's a large (and old) sleeper train that goes East/West accross most of the country. My daughter and I got a double room from Chicago to San Francisco, which was over a 50hr train ride (so 2 nights). But, all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, desert) were included, alcohol available, room was nice and spacious for a child and an adult, and there was a viewing car you could hang out in. Even though the train itself (Amtrak) is aging, we had an incredible experience, and it was one of the coolest ways to see so much of the U.S.'s natural sights. One of those things I'd recommend people try once.
