I'm 70. I'm unlikely to visit your country before I depart. I wish with all my heart I could visit and take just one train ride. Your videos have sustained me and entertained me. Much thanks.
I'm 62. I've never been to Japan ($$$$$ I thought) but the more of Solo Solo's videos I watch, the more I think I should go, especially now that he's shown us the capsule hotels and how clean and quiet they are. That makes accomodations affordable enough I could go, and spend a week taking train and ferry rides. Never say never! 🥰
I lived in Japan for a year back in the ‘80s. The trains were very good then and always, always right on time. If the departure time was 8.30 then exactly on 8.30 the train would depart. Thank you for your videos, they take me back to happy memories of living in Japan.
It was almost scary how clean everything was in Japan when I visited for the second time back in 2019. I took a taxi twice with my Japanese uncle from the train station and both times the driver did a quick run with a lint roller over the seats and carpet before we got in. It was insane how dedicated everyone was to cleanliness even just walking down the street.
I know right! It's cause they care about their surroundings and respect the things that have been provided for them and as such are willing to pay someone to look after and clean things although i imaging that a street cleaner in Tokyo has a far easier job than one in say London. On that note I actually witnessed someone in London come out of a restaurant to empty their bin as the street cleaner was clearing up rubbish in the alley. They just tipped their small bin into the larger outdoor bin spilling rubbish on the floor as they did. They just left it and walked back inside!!!
- vending machine - fancy train - no shoes yup, definitely the most Japanese train I've ever seen. Definitely a nice alternative if you wanna explore the other cool trains of the country. Japanese railways are more than just the Shinkansen
I love your subtle humour when explain something. And love your content. I will visit Japan with working visa in near future, so video like this really help.
I appreciate the humor, how down to Earth you are. Also, thank you for showing the disability friendly seats and restroom, that means a lot to me. I have extensive chronic health conditions and an “invisible” disability, and while most days I can function like any other human, some days I need mobility assistance tools like a cane and braces. I’ve wanted to travel to Japan since I was a kid, but as an adult I constantly worry about if I would be able to find the accommodation I need. Even the few second clips reassure me that Japan is much kinder than the US about it. Thank you!
Japan offers quite a lot more than the US in the case of disability. I wish we had more accessible bathrooms, toilets and showers. The bidet feature, and sitting showers seem like such an obvious thing to put into a bathroom, but are totally absent unless you specifically seek out such features. Basic toilets and standing showers with no handhold bars or soap shelves seems to be the norm.
@@mrmaniac3 And also making cities less car dependent means that older, younger and disabled people can still retain their independence without having to be chauffeured around
Not only do I appreciate videos so I can kind of have a real experience on your trips, I REALLY appreciate that you put the money conversion in there! I don't have to research the amount or try to guess. You pretty much answer my questions without me ever having to ask once. I spent 2 weeks in Japan about 20yrs ago and besides feeling like Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 2 I felt right at home. Everyone there were more friendly than the people in my own country. Thank you.
Seat shell....I like this kind of seats because it wont bother the person behind. As always love your travel videos and humour. お疲れ様です。 I'm going to take this train to Nagoya when I return to Osaka.
It's not often I genuinely LOL, but telling the sink to calm down was precious. This is the Japan I've always wanted to visit, even if I'm 9,000 kilometers away. Thank you!
The Hinotori trains debuted two years ago. From everything I've heard, they've been well received. Looking forward to traveling on one myself when Japan reopens to international tourism.
They work on a well known concept: When the journey time is under a certain amount between to cities, the time you save by using the fast train is often not worth it, when the other train can give you a better or similar comfort for the same price (or cheaper). For example: I would never use a fast train between Hamburg and Kiel or Munich and Salzburg. The time you save would also only be about 10-15 minutes and the comfort of modern regional trains is high enough to accept a 1-2h journey in them. From Salzburg to Vienna you also often not use the "Railjet" but the rival "Westbahn" because the travel time is nearly the same but the Westbahn is cheaper. Of course when you on the other hand want to go from Nagoya to Tokyo, using the Chuo line limited express trains is not an option - it would take 6h, instead of 2 with the Shinkansen. Also the same when you would use local trains on the Tokaido line. But in the case of Kintetsu railway it works - and that mostly because JNR when they decided on how to get from Nagoya to Osaka used the Gifu - Maibara - Kyoto corridor instead of the Nara one, which the Hinotori is using - the distance via Maibara is longer. (I of course understand, why the JNR in the 1960s decided to connect Kyoto too on the Shinkansen, as it's a major tourist hotspot)
nope, fast all the time for me even if its only 2 mins its worth it. My lifes too short to sit around looking at a seat eating crappy vending machine food. Shinkansen.
We miss Japan. Our trip was short the last time. This time we will see the Japanese plum blooming. Also the train system is awesome. Love this video. It brings back fond memories.
Japanese trains make trains in the U.K look like something from the ‘dark ages’. I am so envious of you. Train travelling in Japan is truly an incredible experience. By the way it is good to see well manicured hands too!
Yes, I can just imagine that train on a football trip. It would be a right off. That's why you will probably never see such a train in the UK. Sad but probably true. Interesting that you need instructions on how to take a dump!!
Your trains spank all/every train I've ever been on and that's saying something. I adore how everything is perfect on the train. If I lived there, I would be on everything moving, traveling around, eating just like you Solo 👍🏼🙏🏼
The weather looks so good there! I love traveling by trains when you can sit, watch through the window, eat, listen to the wheels. The platform for feet seems to be comfortable because usually here it's tiny and you can only put your toes there. I'm grateful for this new experience! And I noticed your channel is growing, my congratulations! You deserve this 🤍
This is a wonderful train with details for the comfort of the passengers, no matter what class tickets you bought. The cup holder can accommodate round and square bottles, typical of Japanese attention to details.
Japanese public transportation never fails to amaze me. Btw I laugh everytime you mentioned that kind of toilet is B-tier, because I'm certainly sure that you don't want to know the public toilet condition in my country. 😆
Have only been to Japan once so far. Loved how everyone and everything seemed so clean, sane and civilized. Now that I am a wandering retiree, and that covid is mostly over, it will happen soon. Of course, at this moment, Japan is having a covid surge, but I have no doubt they will address it properly. I miss Japan ..... next time I will stay the full 90 days that I am allowed VISA free.
Thank you for taking the time to post this. I am very stressed and upset today due to the new war in the world and watching this video helped cool me down.
Saw video for 1st time today on your rail travel in Japan. Shirked my whole day's chores & binge watched EVERYTHING afterwards. Great way to chill on blustery/cold morning. Cleaning the baseboards while listening to depressing news can wait until tomorrow. Thank you for your lovely videos.
My favorite thing about Japanese vending machines was that you could get both hot and cold drinks from the same machine. Not to mention that Suica/Pasmo was accepted virtually everywhere.
"why don't we invite the other stick for added comfort" and "wait. calm down. ...calm down. WHAT IS GOING ON" lmao these subtitles along with this calm video always give me a chuckle.
Of the many things I love about Japan it's their culture of cleanliness which I admire the most. Even in Japan Town in San Francisco (USA), the tiny neighborhood is very clean while the other neighborhoods next to them live like pigs. It's impressive.
I absolutely love, love and love your videos. Your reactions to many things are the best every. The second snack tasted like dirt. Excellent description. And your coffee and tea tasted like grass. You have the best sense of humor. I could watch you channel all day long and never get tired. I think you would make an amazing, fun and caring friend.
Solo Travel is actually a bliss. People might call it boring, weird and stuff but its a soul rejuvenator for people like us. Love such type of videos, great work, keep it up boi. Good to know am not the only one who loves to be on my own. ❤️✨👍🏻
I like the imagination of train designers. Trains have a different look and feel: retro, modern, silly and fun. The white train is cool and retro. The Hinotori Express is sleek and modern. Also, Yum.
that shirt you're wearing at 9:22 looks so cool! also that train is super shiny, i wonder how good the premium seats are seeing how good the ordinary seats look
For such a price, i am very surprised with the entire experience! It looks amazing, and even if two hours might seem long to some people, it seems super short to me!
Well, imagine this: the price is only so high because of the Limited express fee. The normal price of that distance is 2410 Yen, the LE fee is 1930 Yen. The normal train needs 3:50 for the journey (with 30 min of transfer time, so the route itself takes 3:20h), while the LE needs 2:09h.
@@acmenipponair Ah. I suppose it depends on how much time you have to spare. I'd have a hard time justifying almost 4 hours to go 80-ish miles, but two hours is acceptable, even at the price I suppose.
Wow! Wow! Wow! What a fantastic train! I would love to do that trip by this slower train and to get to see the countryside while traveling in comfort with all the convenience needed.
15:17 [CC] Shows that even though there are only captions to read, your humour and intention come out perfectly well. I read "CLIFF BARSSSSS" in way that Seinfeld would say "Newman". (essentially anyone saying 'damn you') Great tour, thank you for taking the time to share. cheers
Yummmm I want some miso katsu too !! Thanks for taking us along on a great train ride ! Looking forward to the next adventure! Stay safe..stay healthy !
Me fascinan estos videos, siento que voy viajando y viviendo tan interesantes experiencias, todo se ve tan cómodo, tan organizado, que dan ganas de vivirlas! Un saludo desde Bs.As.Argentina hacia Japón🙋🏼♀️
Oh wow, what a beautiful train! I will most definitely ride that one if I travel between Osaka and Nagoya. Thank you for making such a nice video! I'm still amazed that you blended your tea with hot chocolate. You're a brave man hehe ^_^
I think Japan has the cleanest trains in the world and very very modern . The United States has a long way to go to catch up and that’s where I live the United States 🇺🇸 I will definitely ride this train should I get to Japan , hopefully in the near future👍 I was impressed with the beauty of the train and the very modern bathrooms- we have nothing that clean and classy in America and probably never will . The scenery was awesome and your dinner meal (?) looked delicious 😋 I got hungry 😋 but had nothing in the house except fruit - I settled for a delicious apple 🍎. Thank you for sharing another awesome adventure - I look forward to all your videos because they are all excellent and exciting.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the first video of yours and the first Japan train/travel video I watched. Now, I'm hooked...in particular, on your videos. You're hilarious! I watch your videos during lunch or supper and pretend I'm eating whatever it is you're eating... everything except the 🍣. I can't do raw fish.🌸
So clean, so modern. The contactless features like that on the lockers make using them so much easier. I love all the features with the seat and what's more it's all regular class. Sadly as others have said in the U.K. people wouldn't respect the facilities and within weeks of launching most bits would be wrecked and vandalised. Toilets on U.K. trains are like something out of a HORROR MOVIE!!! 🚽🤢🤮
Смотрю все твои ролики и удивляться не перестаю, какая все таки продвинутая страна Япония, все для людей сделано, камфорт, в любом вашем транспорте человек может отдохнуть, в нашем только испортить настроение. Супер канал. Процветание твоему каналу.
Bruhhhh I am so incredibly jealous that THIS is what is offered in Japan I occasionally have to take a train between cities through Amtrak (a slightly longer distance than the trip in this video). For the same price, you get a much worse experience that's less comfortable and takes significantly longer (5+ hours). But wait, by paying an extra $20 you can upgrade to "Business Class"!!! ...which basically gets you some free snacks and less annoying passengers. And also a "guaranteed seat" because you can't even reserve seats normally, so they overbook constantly and have people standing throughout the aisles. Don't even get me started on the restrooms.... if 12:12 is considered a B-tier toilet, then you certainly wouldn't want to use any of the Amtrak toilets. The fact that the seats featured in this video are ONLY "regular class" makes me wonder how gorgeous the premium seating must be :)
Amazing! Unbelievable hygiene standards and comforts. This is the standard developing countries to aim for without wasting time and money for Research and Development.
I Love your funny comments.😂 I will have to remember that I "rescue" items being held captive in vending machines.😁 The miso katsu looks amazing. So juicy and tender. Yum! Great Video 👍. Thank-you for sharing your travels! ✌❤🤘
Every Japan train video I have seen shows no dirt or damage. For $40 you could not travel 200 miles in the west. Plus the toilets would be filthy, the train falling apart and rude staff. You would have to pay top money for the equivalent economy seats. Japan really has an excellent reputation and I can’t wait to visit one day.
Thanks for the interesting train tour! I was “blown away” by the size of the bathroom. We never see one that big on our train 😕🤷🏼♀️ And off topic… you have very nice hands. 🙂👍
Thank you for sharing your ride on this amazing train! It truly epitomizes the phrase 'necessity is the mother of invention', as the primary driving force for most new inventions, is a need. I would add to this by stating that due to the limitations of space in places like Japan, new invention engineering is more ergonomic than it would otherwise be, to ensure the maximum utilization of available space. Both a technological reason and a place, for everything. :)
Hola ,esperando vídeo nuevo ,gracias por compartir tus aventuras ,aún con subtítulos se siente que estás narrando y todo queda claro ,nos dejas con ganas de más . Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Your trains are always so clean, efficient, on time, and look like a joy to ride. I'm a fan of vending machines so this would be a fun (and expensie) way to travel. Love your videos👍👍
It looks tooooo good to be true to me. I felt I was watching a train in those "Star Trek" or "Cosmos" movies. It's out of this world for sure and a science fiction train...Very hard to believe, but very true. Thanks very much for sharing with us!! Cheers,
Mr. Solo traveller...enjoyed the Hinotori Express...Liked the quiet commentary...as usual your sense of humour...And most of all: I felt you took us along, by being inclusive: e.g. let 'us' go there, let 'us' do this etc...Danke friend...Greetings from a cool, rainy Bangalore...
Good grief. Even the most "low class" or simplistic class of train is chock-full of amazing goodies to make everything more comfortable. Fresh ground coffee (!!!), seat rests with their own seat rests, snacks galore, all surrounded by speedy, clean comfort. Your sense of humor is the BEST part of everything! Once I start watching your videos ("I'm just gonna watch for a sec--") I end up watching the entire thing, they're so fascinating! (especially to those of us who have never traveled). Now I wonder who makes Miso Katsu here in the states...???
Me, after seeing this fabulous CLEAN train, with IMMACULATELY clean multi-purpose loos, clever seats and lots of vending machines, sadly changing my view of the Heart of Wales line as a great train journey..... In fact we still have 1960s rolling stock (e.g Bristol to Weymouth)! Thanks for another fascinating, humourous yet exasperating video - if only UK trains were like the Hinotori
U guys had bullet trains in 1994 But those trains were removed Because they were at loss and public didn't use it so the company went bankrupt and removed bullet trains That's why America has no more bullet trains now
Some years ago I would never have expected that I would end up watching a Japanese guy riding trains and ferries on a strange foldable device with a keyboard not unlike a typewriter attached to it. And: This train looks really interesting, clean and modern - I don't understand why it seems almost empty.
Because there are literally no tourists in Japan at the moment, as Japan is only allowing 5000 per day to get into the country. And this Limited Express is mostly for tourists who want to go from Osaka to Nagoya. Normal japanese commuters would use only the Rapid train services, that also run between Osaka and Nagoya, but don't have the LE fee to be payed for.
trains in Japan looks so much more comfortable and clean than here in Denmark, you even have better vending machines on them.... oh, and that miso-katsu looks delicious..
You do a great job making it feel like you’re actually riding the train, I really enjoy your videos. I wish I could go to Japan but they don’t want people to stay only visit. Who can blame them.
2 of my friends and I was in Japan 20 years ago. Unfortunately we couldn't speak a single Japanese word..the train ground staff and drivers were angels helping us to our right destination communicating through the sign language. Congratulation!
So cool! I soo much miss Japan, just because of things like this.... This train would get absolutely abused, if not destroyed, if it were tried here in UK.
нравится когда автор едет в той или иной город с определенной целью - покушать то блюдо, которое в наилучшем качестве готовят только в этом городе(районе). это тоже хорошая подсказка для туристов, когда можно смотреть не только достопримечательности, но и вкусно поесть по хорошей рекомендации. Спасибо! смотри Ваши видео с большим удовольствием!

@@acmenipponair Ah. I suppose it depends on how much time you have to spare. I'd have a hard time justifying almost 4 hours to go 80-ish miles, but two hours is acceptable, even at the price I suppose.
Interesting, and thank you for NOT following the example of 99% of other travel videos and ruining it by non-stop talking. Bravo.
Wow! Wow! Wow! What a fantastic train! I would love to do that trip by this slower train and to get to see the countryside while traveling in comfort with all the convenience needed.

[CC] Shows that even though there are only captions to read, your humour and intention come out perfectly well.
I read "CLIFF BARSSSSS" in way that Seinfeld would say "Newman". (essentially anyone saying 'damn you')
Great tour, thank you for taking the time to share.
cheers
Yummmm I want some miso katsu too !! Thanks for taking us along on a great train ride ! Looking forward to the next adventure! Stay safe..stay healthy !
Me fascinan estos videos, siento que voy viajando y viviendo tan interesantes experiencias, todo se ve tan cómodo, tan organizado, que dan ganas de vivirlas! Un saludo desde Bs.As.Argentina hacia Japón🙋🏼♀️
Oh wow, what a beautiful train! I will most definitely ride that one if I travel between Osaka and Nagoya. Thank you for making such a nice video! I'm still amazed that you blended your tea with hot chocolate. You're a brave man hehe ^_^
Your videos bring me a sense of calm, and at the same time delivered with a touch of clever humor. Thank you. Also that red train in beautiful!
Amazing train, amazing guide. Thank you SoloSolo, as always. Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Funny Roy Rogers. Where is trigger??? 😍
Japan always looks amazing. Everything so clean and orderly. Thanks for sharing.
I miss the trains in Japan. So much fun! Thank you for posting this!
Fantastic looking train and massive windows, the food at the end has made me hungry
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧
I think Japan has the cleanest trains in the world and very very modern . The United States has a long way to go to catch up and that’s where I live the United States 🇺🇸 I will definitely ride this train should I get to Japan , hopefully in the near future👍
I was impressed with the beauty
of the train and the very modern bathrooms- we have nothing that clean and classy in America and probably never will .
The scenery was awesome and your dinner meal (?) looked delicious 😋
I got hungry 😋 but had nothing in the house except fruit - I settled for a delicious apple 🍎.
Thank you for sharing another awesome adventure - I look forward to all your videos because they are all excellent and exciting.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the first video of yours and the first Japan train/travel video I watched. Now, I'm hooked...in particular, on your videos. You're hilarious! I watch your videos during lunch or supper and pretend I'm eating whatever it is you're eating... everything except the 🍣. I can't do raw fish.🌸
So clean, so modern. The contactless features like that on the lockers make using them so much easier. I love all the features with the seat and what's more it's all regular class.
Sadly as others have said in the U.K. people wouldn't respect the facilities and within weeks of launching most bits would be wrecked and vandalised. Toilets on U.K. trains are like something out of a HORROR MOVIE!!! 🚽🤢🤮
Fantastic Video! LIKE! Best greetings from Switzerland
本日、大阪難波から名古屋まで、ひのとりに乗ってきたので、動画を見れて嬉しかったです！
I miss Japan, especially the public transportation options. Lived there for 10 years.
That food looked amazing. The train looked incredible as well. I’d love to have one of those cups as a souvenir.
Смотрю все твои ролики и удивляться не перестаю, какая все таки продвинутая страна Япония, все для людей сделано, камфорт, в любом вашем транспорте человек может отдохнуть, в нашем только испортить настроение. Супер канал. Процветание твоему каналу.
Российские железные дороги сейчас тоже на высоком уровне.
Brilliant video , I love trains but I do love watching you choose food it’s fabulous x
What a great deal for $40! I would be riding these things all day. 👌
Bruhhhh I am so incredibly jealous that THIS is what is offered in Japan
I occasionally have to take a train between cities through Amtrak (a slightly longer distance than the trip in this video). For the same price, you get a much worse experience that's less comfortable and takes significantly longer (5+ hours). But wait, by paying an extra $20 you can upgrade to "Business Class"!!! ...which basically gets you some free snacks and less annoying passengers. And also a "guaranteed seat" because you can't even reserve seats normally, so they overbook constantly and have people standing throughout the aisles. Don't even get me started on the restrooms.... if 12:12 is considered a B-tier toilet, then you certainly wouldn't want to use any of the Amtrak toilets.
The fact that the seats featured in this video are ONLY "regular class" makes me wonder how gorgeous the premium seating must be :)
premium is 2-1 seating
@@hamanakohamaneko7028 as a single traveler I’ll take it :~)
This is why Americans drive everywhere. Faster, cheaper, and much more comfortable.
@@MrJest2 also, more freedom
Amazing! Unbelievable hygiene standards and comforts. This is the standard developing countries to aim for without wasting time and money for Research and Development.
I Love your funny comments.😂
I will have to remember that I "rescue" items being held captive in vending machines.😁
The miso katsu looks amazing. So juicy and tender.
Yum!
Great Video 👍.
Thank-you for sharing your travels!
✌❤🤘
Every Japan train video I have seen shows no dirt or damage. For $40 you could not travel 200 miles in the west. Plus the toilets would be filthy, the train falling apart and rude staff. You would have to pay top money for the equivalent economy seats. Japan really has an excellent reputation and I can’t wait to visit one day.
Thanks for the interesting train tour! I was “blown away” by the size of the bathroom. We never see one that big on our train 😕🤷🏼♀️ And off topic… you have very nice hands. 🙂👍
Thank you for sharing your ride on this amazing train! It truly epitomizes the phrase 'necessity is the mother of invention', as the primary driving force for most new inventions, is a need. I would add to this by stating that due to the limitations of space in places like Japan, new invention engineering is more ergonomic than it would otherwise be, to ensure the maximum utilization of available space. Both a technological reason and a place, for everything. :)

This made my day XD
Fish Chan, you made my day, too:)
The train is beautiful and looks very comfy. It also seems like a pretty smooth ride. And so clean. If I was there I would love to ride it.
Hola ,esperando vídeo nuevo ,gracias por compartir tus aventuras ,aún con subtítulos se siente que estás narrando y todo queda claro ,nos dejas con ganas de más .
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
I wish we had trains like this all over Canada! 😭
I really like the way you make your videos. It's really beautiful .... All the best 💕🇧🇩
I'm a very recent fan from your work! Loved every video so far. Congrats from a Portuguese 🇵🇹 living in Brazil 🇧🇷 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😎🏁
Your trains are always so clean, efficient, on time, and look like a joy to ride. I'm a fan of vending machines so this would be a fun (and expensie) way to travel. Love your videos👍👍
It looks tooooo good to be true to me. I felt I was watching a train in those "Star Trek" or "Cosmos" movies. It's out of this world for sure and a science fiction train...Very hard to believe, but very true. Thanks very much for sharing with us!! Cheers,
thanks for the Hinotori video, my very first stop after arriving in Nagoya station was at Yabaton for miso katsu! good stuff!
Mr. Solo traveller...enjoyed the Hinotori Express...Liked the quiet commentary...as usual your sense of humour...And most of all: I felt you took us along, by being inclusive: e.g. let 'us' go there, let 'us' do this etc...Danke friend...Greetings from a cool, rainy Bangalore...
ok now that’s not fair - I haven’t had breakfast and you’re making me want lunch 🤣😂 thnx for another wonderful travel / food adventure 🙏😷
Thank you very much for your video!
I like how the train plays music at the station. These small details make travelling better!
Good grief. Even the most "low class" or simplistic class of train is chock-full of amazing goodies to make everything more comfortable. Fresh ground coffee (!!!), seat rests with their own seat rests, snacks galore, all surrounded by speedy, clean comfort. Your sense of humor is the BEST part of everything! Once I start watching your videos ("I'm just gonna watch for a sec--") I end up watching the entire thing, they're so fascinating! (especially to those of us who have never traveled). Now I wonder who makes Miso Katsu here in the states...???
Vending machine in train 😍 what aa technology japan 😘😘😚 and Japan is my favourite country in the world 😍💖💗💗
Me, after seeing this fabulous CLEAN train, with IMMACULATELY clean multi-purpose loos, clever seats and lots of vending machines, sadly changing my view of the Heart of Wales line as a great train journey..... In fact we still have 1960s rolling stock (e.g Bristol to Weymouth)! Thanks for another fascinating, humourous yet exasperating video - if only UK trains were like the
Hinotori
I wish we could have nice trains like that in the United States.
U guys had bullet trains in 1994
But those trains were removed
Because they were at loss and public didn't use it so the company went bankrupt and removed bullet trains
That's why America has no more bullet trains now
They wouldn't stay this clean and beautiful for long. I respect Japanese people, they have excellent manners. Most Americans and Europeans do not.
Your humor always makes me feel like I'm watching a tv show😂 I actually had tears in my eyes when you had a mini battle with the sink
Some years ago I would never have expected that I would end up watching a Japanese guy riding trains and ferries on a strange foldable device with a keyboard not unlike a typewriter attached to it.
And: This train looks really interesting, clean and modern - I don't understand why it seems almost empty.
Because there are literally no tourists in Japan at the moment, as Japan is only allowing 5000 per day to get into the country. And this Limited Express is mostly for tourists who want to go from Osaka to Nagoya. Normal japanese commuters would use only the Rapid train services, that also run between Osaka and Nagoya, but don't have the LE fee to be payed for.
What is a typewriter? You must have been born a long, long time ago 😉.
@@michaels3003 Well, I grew up in era of great advances in technology. When I was born my Uncle Urgh-Ahmb just had invented the hand axe for example 😂
@Michael S that's nothing. I can still remember stylus and clay tablets when I was a kid. 😆 🤣 😂
Depending on the day and hour is empty. This in not a normal commute train and weekdays are easy to find those trains with few people inside.
I love your commentary and I appreciate how soothing the video is with no talking. Can't wait to see what you do next. Thanks
I wish trains in the uk were like this.. I’d definitely enjoy train journeys a lot more! 😂
I was cracking up at your subtitles 🤣
Thanks for brightening up my day!
4:47 The seat has its own seat. Seatseption
me: What?!?
I’m loving your videos. How can these be so informative and interesting yet, so relaxing? The little light humor is good too. Good job!
Thank you for your video! Wonderful train! 😊
trains in Japan looks so much more comfortable and clean than here in Denmark, you even have better vending machines on them....
oh, and that miso-katsu looks delicious..
Lovely train....but I think I'd take the Shinkansen as its SO much quicker! Thanks for the video.
You do a great job making it feel like you’re actually riding the train, I really enjoy your videos. I wish I could go to Japan but they don’t want people to stay only visit. Who can blame them.
Que espetáculo! Gastronomia e a viagem, amei.
2 of my friends and I was in Japan 20 years ago. Unfortunately we couldn't speak a single Japanese word..the train ground staff and drivers were angels helping us to our right destination communicating through the sign language. Congratulation!
HAHAHAHA YOUR HUMORRR I LOVE IT
This may be the best cabin design I've ever seen in a train. Wow!
So cool! I soo much miss Japan, just because of things like this.... This train would get absolutely abused, if not destroyed, if it were tried here in UK.
.... same thing in France
And Ireland. If someone from Japan were to use our railway they would probably have a heart attack!!!!!
нравится когда автор едет в той или иной город с определенной целью - покушать то блюдо, которое в наилучшем качестве готовят только в этом городе(районе). это тоже хорошая подсказка для туристов, когда можно смотреть не только достопримечательности, но и вкусно поесть по хорошей рекомендации. Спасибо! смотри Ваши видео с большим удовольствием!
I absolutely love this train, inside and out. The vending machines are top tier, and the outside looks like a sports car.
