I was so close to visiting South Korea and Japan at one point. I'm a Motion Capture performer and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to work in Japan and visit South Korea.
Gorgeous train, and you made me really hungry with those food close-ups!
Also, a very belated addition of locations (though you named several of them yourself this time):

08:21 0.7 km past Yayoigaoka
08:29 0.9 km past Yayoigaoka (passing under the E34 highway)
09:50 1.7 past Hizen-Asahi
09:59 0.8 km before Kurume (crossing the Chikugo River)
11:18 0.7 km before Kurumekoko-Mae
12:31 1.7 km past Mii
12:43 Tanushimaru
16:53 0.2 km past Sukigawachi (that famous waterfall: Jionnotaki)
17:59 1.1 km after Teruoka (out of sequence!)
19:31 0.5 km past Sukigawachi
19:40 Bungo-Mori
20:26 Yufuin
Thank you for welcoming any feedback Kuga
And many thanks to you for your open mindedness
It's not about where you are going, It's about how you got there. Thanks again.
The kumiko doors, shades, and tissue boxes were my favorite decoration of the entire train, and I thought the entire train was gorgeous. How I envy the people of Japan for their beautiful, CLEAN trains and train stations! The food looked absolutely delicious. I saw that you dressed up for the occasion; very wise! I loved seeing the cherry blossoms along the route.
I wonder if there was a dress code
@N Kemp. Probably no dress code, but in Japan you can never be overdressed.
Thanks! I lived in Yokohama as a child and traveled to Kyoto on the original bullet train. Your videos bring back many fond memories of your beautiful country.
Thanks, Bill!🤝
What a beautiful train. It seems the Japanese equivalent of "The Orient Express". Definitely something that justifies the high price, for train enthusiasts, food enthusiasts and general Japan enthusiasts (the woodwork in the train was just amazing).
You wore a suit! Glad you dressed for the occasion. Lovely train! The eat-as-you-go train rides are fun! 👍👏✨😍❤🛤🚋
Aloha from Hawai'i! What a wonderful train.Thank you for sharing your excursion and the meal looked fantastic! You have inspired me and my husband to do more train travel when we visit Japan again.
That is the most beautiful train I have ever seen!
Dessert is my favorite kind of dessert.
Dessert dessert even more so!
Better than a desert, that's for sure.
The "Why is there a better bathroom...?" line made me laugh out loud. We may all feel that way.
I really enjoyed that. The food is so well presented, amazing. Thank you for sharing.
That looked like a wonderful experience. I wish I could try it for myself. Thank you for sharing as always!
Thank you for sharing your experience- what a lovely train!
TQ for taking us along in the train.....hope to do it someday!😁
dam...that's not a train...that's a driving 5 stars luxus restaurant...i wish we would have trains like this here in germany
Haha, in Germany?? Dann weißt du sicher, wie so ein Zug innerhalb kürzester Zeit aussehen würde 😂
@@user-gj3ov8ud3w ich galube nicht das zu dem preis sich irgendwelche hotentoten dort einfinden würden,den die können sich das wohl kaum leisten
WoW! Your dressed so classy! You really match the train well! That was a very nice video! What a beautiful train! 🌷😊👍 Thank you for taking us along! 😁🌺👍
Absolutely 100% awesome journey! Enjoyed it immensely! Thanks!
I was in Yufuin a few weeks ago and took the regular "Yufuin No Mori" train. It was nice, but this train looks so cool and the food looks amazing. Thank you for taking us on the journey.
Thankyou Kuga-san as always! I was a little excited that you might have been going on the legendary "Seven Stars of Kyushu"! That was a rather sweet train though! Fingers crossed one day we'll see you on there! 😎 I'm very glad the flower didn't taste like flour!
Kuga ...when I saw the title for this video I thought you were spending $4.4 million dollars to ride this!!! Glad you cleared that up in the video. I have to say this is one hell of a train, it is beautiful and reminds me of decadence from the 1930s, which I guess is the era of this train. In the U.K. we had the Pullman trains (you should look them up) they were equally as decedent.
He’s been getting a little click-baity recently.
wowwww! never seen something similar just wowwww. these wood arts, .... smashing, this train is a dream, an absolute beauty! thank you for sharing it with us
I think this is one of my top three Kuga train rides! How elegant! Money well spent. Looks like you enjoyed a Michelin-star gourmet meal. The woodwork was just beautiful. Thank you for sharing, as always!
Wow! The train is absolutely beautiful. And the meal presentation - stunning! Worth every cent paid.
Thank you for another beautiful trip!
We really enjoyed your video! Thank you so much for your hard work!
Spectacular and very classy! Thanks for sharing your lovely video 😊
Beautiful! Thanks for the trip!!!
Absolutely stunning ❤
This has just gone on to my bucket list, in the meantime I shall live vicariously through you and this channel
I mean... it looked like a really nice flower to eat in all fairness
Beautiful train i am glad you went on it thank you ❤
A most extraordinary train I’ve ever seen! So beautiful. Thank you, kuga 🇨🇦
Hi from Hong Kong. Recently found your channel and love your enthusiast in trains especially in Japanese luxury trains. Your videos are precious and useful guides for foreigners. Guiding tours in words rather than talking is a real treasure because hate those talk too much, which cause huge distraction and serious headache on me. I also love the sense of humour in your words. You are doing a great job and keep it up man! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As usual, a magnificent job❤❤❤❤thank you😅
Probably the most distinctive trip you have taken! I want that appetizer with the cherry blossoms! Happy Sakura!
Wow what a fabulous train! I'm so glad you got a chance to ride on it. The train is beautiful.
What an amazing train. Thank-you for the terrific video.
This looks really interesting and exciting! well done! :)
This was a very unique trip. Thanks for sharing. Who would have guessed that the flowers tasted like flowers?
Thanks for the journey!
Absolutely amazing Kuga...mind blown!!! 🙋👍👀😮🤩😎
Nice video again.❤
Beautiful. There is something about simplicity and beauty that go hand in hand❤
What a great trip. Kyushu having plenty of luxurious sightseeing train
Very nice. Thank you.
I always appreciate that you keep the ambient noise in your videos
It amuses me that "Drink Menu" is in English and then all the rest is in Japanese. At least I'd know I am looking at the drink menu I'd need assistance to read! 😊
that was amazing Kuga, thanks
Hello from Silicon Valley! Thank you for sharing this incredible journey with us! I always watch and enjoy your videos!
Hello, I'm from Germany and I've been seeing you on the channel for a while. I'm a big fan of Cab Video from Japanese Trains. A few weeks ago you travelled to Europe and also to Germany. I only know the railways in Japan from UA-cam, but I was really ashamed of the unpunctuality, the lousy service and the lousy sanitary facilities you had to experience here in Germany. I am also very enthusiastic about the Kumiko woodwork. On YT I have already seen how Kumiko is made. It's impressive. Furthermore, thank you for your great videos from a country that I would like to travel to in real life, but unfortunately can't.
Tbf 4.4 million for a train looking *that* nice sounds like an absolute steal. What a stunning train man
The french say "Au Revoir" not "Oliver" ☺️
Another one of those automated caption translations gone wrong .. lol. Still it was an incredible excursion on a magnificently inspired train with rather exquisite culinary dishes. Bushyboy Oz.
Ahh Such a beautiful train
Another Beauty 👏🤩💕
Not sure why i enjoyed this particular video so much.....but, i did! Thanx Kuga! 👍😃😉
That train looks amazing!
What a wonderful experience. 💛
So beautiful! 😍That is one fancy train and meal for sure, I wouldn't no where to start eating those dishes 😅
You too can have a bathroom like that - if you were willing to charge people 300+ US dollars to sit in it. 😀
Wow ! What an amazing train ! I always enjoy seeing the variety of train transportation you have in Japan. Here in the U.S. we have nothing that even approaches that, which I think is very sad. I much prefer to travel by rail than to fly.
The US has a huge rail network, but when I see what other countries have, Amtrak needs to up their game. Trains in the UK are pretty crap, so I can't say much - but if the US had better rail travel options (more luxury for example), I would happily visit the US and do a rail journey cross country... but even a "bedroom" on AmTrak doesn't seem that great. When you see some of the Sleeper trains in Japan (and mainland Europe), there is definitely improvements to be made to pull people from planes to trains :)
@@wesleyswafford2462 Yeah - said isnt it. I lived in Singapore for a few years - people joke that Singapore is a "fine" city cos they fine you for everything (how I laughed...) Yes, you get fined for eating or drinking on the MRT (underground rail). However, unlike the tube in London, I have never had to deal with people drinking beer and throwing up on a Thursday night, nor trying to avoid standing in a discarded half eaten kebab with sauce on the floor. Yes, Singapore has some very harsh penalties for things (including very serious crimes), but it is clean and incredibly safe. I always said, it is a lovely place if you dont break the law. Japan was quite similar - clean and has incredibly polite people. There is a huge language barrier in Japan, as many people don't speak English (not a barrier for them - only us tourists :) ), but still, I managed to get by because everyone is so polite, thoughtful and patient. I would live in Singapore again for sure and would love to visit Japan again - but prob wouldnt live there because of the language barrier and cost - its very expensive.
That's a lot of violin playing, reminds me of your trip to Banff with the non-stop music.
That's quite a crazy over the top beautiful train! I'm glad you sacrificed from your wallet so we can enjoy this trip with you. The interior is even more spectacular too. It's all a feast for the eyes!
Gorgeous train.
the subtitles are absolutely priceless!
Wonderful train 👍🍻😁
I love how you dressed for the occasion! Very sharp!
That food looks awesome.
"It's not the destination, it's the journey" - Emerson. Enjoy the journey!
Glad you loved this jaunt. You got all dressed up, too! Arigato, Kuga san. Oliver🗼
Considering how expensive regular trains are in the UK, this seems like a total steal!
You could easily spend £240 for a 'first class' ticket on our high speed lines that are nowhere near as luxurious as this 😭
Wow, really cool Luxury Train! The food looked tasty, but, I think for Kuga it was just an appetizer! Haha
Thank you for an opportunity to have a little trip😉😃👋 It was amazing and interesting! Please go on!
Your a lucky man to be able to travel like you do. I wish I could travel like you. I live in the US, but I love Japan and wish live there,
People are so kind and friendly😀👍
久我さん、とても楽しい旅行をありがとうございました！(I hope Google Translate did a good job with this)
Elegant!
Living The Life ✌🏻, Truly and Experience.
Thank you for not imposing your face to distract from the video’s subject - the train.
Thanks!
Thanks, Paul!🤝
Wow that’s fancy
Hi thank you for sharing, it looked amazing and can you add information like distance, why did the journey end there and not where it started and how many hours did it take, a sneak peak around the train to see the whole inside...
What a beautiful train and beautiful food.
Sweet train bro
Kuga - my son loved your videos and thinks you are the best traveler in the world
Elegant 😊
What a wonderful train and a luxurious journey! Thanks for sharing.
How did you return back?
Kuga Thanks Much !.......
What a beautiful train, would love to go and taste all the food too. But the chair did not look comfortable? Thank you for sharing.
Interesting train.
Dear Kuga, thank you again for another insightful video, just wondering if they offer an English menu on this train? Thank you, I look forward to ride this one in the near future.
16:55 Thought that was an advert for Japanese Truck Simulator. LOLOL!
Looks like a good Murder Mystery train!😉
I got stuck in that Oliver Hakata for a second, then I got the joke. 😂🤣
Wooooaa
When you showed the drink menu I thought you would get orange juice :-) that was an expensive 4 hour trip with the 'fancy a bit of veg with a swirl to fill the plate'!
I love the Tanushimaru station building @ 13:13 that looks like a kappa...so cute!

Cattle Class will be good enough for me, with a tasty bento box to go with it.
Until a few moments in i thought the tickets were 4.4 Million ... and kuga just wanted to flex on us hard. I mean kuga is still flexing on us hard either way, but atleast not that hard.
Yeah, I felt that comment about the bathroom in my soul, hahaha. Usually, the in-house toilets around here are not exactly spacious, let's say. At leat in the very big cities like Tokyo and Osaka and so on.
Very nostalgic. Surprised it does not have a ‘Hello Kitty’ figure up front. Btw, yes, Kumiko art….not much privacy when your door is made of it. Or soundproofing. But I like the overall effect. Not sure I’d pay quite that much for it but an experience worth having.
Also, I would be honored to take a journey on that train.
