    18:20 My wife and I had our mouths super wide, in shock and looked at each other in disbelief. And then the un-reveal.

    I love how Solo Travel-San's first thought with the gift was if it were Curry.
    Miso is not far off, but I love that he doesnt know what to do with it, even thinking about his Non-existent wife.

    Thank you for this wonderful video. Thank you for letting us join you on this experience. The only train experience I have had is the Grand Trunk Railroad. A nearly local band got it's name from it. Grand Funk Railroad played starting in 1969.
    When I was young my Dad & Mom put my sister & I on the train then picked us up on the next stop. My Dad thought it was important since the railroad company was planning on closing it down the next month. The Royal Oak station was later sold & bulldozed. It was a beautiful train station.
    The food looks great. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    I wish other countries from the west would use Japan as a good example of how society could be. Japan always puts much effort into details and keep so clean and your crime and homeless rates are very low. In Canada and America no one cares about anything anymore especially during work everyone just does the minimum and expects tips for poor service to & there is to much crime you could never have a shop that uses Honor system like Japan can, I hope one day that changes. I feel like living in japan is like living in the future yet your culture doesn’t forget to Honor it’s past,which I feel is important to keep a connection with.
