Unbelievable country. Super fast, futuristic, clean, and so much respect and manners! The attendant actually looked back and bowed to the passengers!! That is unheard of anywhere else. I love Japan, and I cannot wait to visit the most advanced country on earth one day! :)
Almost sounds like an aircraft, speeding up, then slowing down for the next stop. Still in awe of the smoothness of the Shinkansen; and the professionalism of the crew aboard. Much respect and thanks.
7:00 Beauty of well trained employees. They can export the train but they can't export that politeness. Did you notice nobody was even paying attention?
I like going back to Japan again and again, sightseeing is very enjoyable, nature, temples/shrine, the harmony of modern and ancient, and Japanese women.
What professionalism! That attendant @ 06:34 ; not there to give crap; not to give herself prestige ; not to take crap; All I can say, I wish most government departments had this attitude
Ben in China that would be wrong to claim that Japanese people are polite because they are well paid. Throughout Asia, customer service is really important and there lies the major difference with the West.
I recently went on a 10 day holiday to Japan, and I didn't want to come home! The hospitality was fantastic, the people friendly and polite, and everything was spotless! We traveled a lot on the shinkansen, and listening to the announcements on this video brings back fond memories!
After going through comment section, I would like to visit Japanese atleast once in my lifetime, not just to experience these bullet trains but to experience Japanese politeness and respect...
At around 5:56 p.m. on October 23, 2004, a direct earthquake of magnitude 6.8 occurred in Niigata Prefecture. A total of eight cars, except for No. 7 and No. 6, of the "Toki No. 325" train from Tokyo to Niigata, which was running in a 10-car formation between Urasa and Nagaoka stations of the Joetsu Shinkansen near the epicenter, derailed. At the time of the earthquake, the train was traveling at a speed of about 200 km/h. The emergency brakes of the early earthquake detection and warning system were activated, and the train came to a stop about 1.6 km from the derailment point. There were no casualties among the 155 passengers and crew on board.
Having just came back from Japan for the first time, I can vouch for how amazing the Shinkansen is. They perform as great as they look - super fast, quiet, and very comfortable (ample leg room). Did the Tokyo to Osaka express line (Hikari) which took just over 3 hrs. Yes, the Shinkansen is not cheap, but bought a 7 day rail pass for about $US300 and trust me it's great value with unlimited travel on Shinkansen, JR network (short distance) and airport rail. You will be doing lots of train trips to get around in Japan. It's truly a fabulous and interesting place with such polite and respectful people!
This is a great video. You have captured just what it is like on the fantastic Shinkansen. Much better of course to actually be on it, but it brings back so many memories. Many Thanks. Brian. New Zealand.
Thanks a lot for posting a clip featuring the excellent ride of the Nozomi Superexpress. I hope that I will be a passenger on the bullet train again before long.
Motors, actually. But I know what you mean. Only a train lover knows what this means. And the clacking of the wheel boogies as they roll from one set of rails to the next unwelded set of rails. As Neil Diamond sang long back, "What a beautiful noise".
Oh makes me homesick for my home away from home but less then 3 weeks to go and will be there again enjoying all that Japan has to offer including Shinkansen!
sam witwicky Was fabulous as always. This year went from Tokyo to Kagoshima in the south end of Japan and had a wonderful ride as always!!! I think next year when back we're going to try out the new train and experience that one!!
Wow so cool! Thanks for posting this up for us to see! I always wanted to know what it's like riding the Shinkansen so thanks for that! I didn't wanted it to end lol
Sat in one from Tokyo to Osaka. Cabin was damn cosy, had a nice bento meal during the ride and enjoyed a short nap and waking up shortly to beautiful scenery on route. Only in Japan 😍😍😍
Superb! The speeding outside view sure make me dizzy. Wow! Such clean and tidy trains and very disciplined people. They do deserve such a neat and smart railway system.
Sneeki Breeki It's almost impossible to exect it from the stupid and meek Japanes government. Japan has changed so much. Fifity years ago, Japan was totally differnt from what we see now. It is no longer a good country. Japan is now the country with the fourth largest number of immigrants. Many of them live here illegally. If you have lived in Japan for more than one year even if you are living in the country illegally, you can get a green card. It is totally insane!!! What country are you planning to come to Japan from? I don't think it is a good idea. Japan has been taken over by Koreans and it may become a second Korea or China in the future.
Tommy Mika I am Filipino but not stupid enough to commit crimes on a country that i was not born in. I just want to live in Japan because of the opportunities and beautiful sceneries. I want to live a very peaceful life too
When I went to Japan, I always go to everywhere by train. I remember at ride chikatetsu densha.., and my favorite destination is Osu-kanon Lol.. Someday I will go to Japan again with my family (I hope..)..
I've visited Japan and done this exact ride in 2024, and two big things have changed - one for worse and one for better. They don't do any trolley service anymore, I've heard because of a lack of available labour due to Japan's population being in decline now, although I personally didn't mind since there's always plenty of interesting "ekiben" to choose from to take on the train. They've also gotten rid of the designated smoking areas - now you can't smoke on the train at all, which I'm low key shocked that it took them that long to phase out completely. The smoking culture must be stronger there.
There will be high speed Shinkansen trains that will be running between Houston, TX & Dallas, TX within the next 5 to 10 years, that is just the beginning.
I just came back from Japan a week ago and rode a bullet train on a few occasions. It is quite embarrassing how the world's third largest economy (Japan) has the most efficient and fastest trains in the world compared to the world's largest economy (USA). In one of my Japan guided tours, the tour guide mentioned that the JR Lines in Japan has just built the world's fastest bullet train with the maximum speed topping at 370 mph. That's LA to San Francisco in one hour.
Well, first, thank you for such a positive comment to Shinkansen. I didn't mean to be so negative. It was a personal opinion. I know how nice shinkansen is, and I'm proud of its system and service as a Japanese. I just thought if it's a lil more reasonable, then I can use more frequently. Anyway, I want to try British train someday:)
Sitting on the Shinkansen, watching Fuji-san in the horizon or going through the many tunnels of Kyushu, that is moment where you are thinking "wow... Now I am really in JAPAN". ^_-
Straordinaria educazione dei pendolari, qualcosa di unico, un silenzio che solo nei monti riesco a trovare. Complimenti davvero. Qui in Italia ci sarebbe stata gente che urlava e schiamazzava dal primo minuto all'ultimo !!!
Texas will soon have a rail line between Dallas and Houston with the N700 Shinkansen similar to this one making it the first bullet train line in the country.
MrWalker1000 There are two: One from LA (I think) to Las Vegas which is being assisted by a Chinese company and has a high chance of being built and one from San Francisco to LA which has almost no chance of being finished because the project has already been screwed up.
I really love their culture of greeting people and how they had preserved it.Sadly saying 'Namaste' joining hands and Bowing is fading away from India.
One of the recent problems is Chinese tourists from Mainland China. Places like Kyoto are filled with Chinese. They are so rude and have no manners. They throw away garbage and take a pee everywhere. We don't want them to come.
I do agree with your comments. I was there on my vacation, and I respect too much Japan and their people, culture, manner and so on. My sincere suggestion, go there spend some time and be happy. Greetings!
Well done keep it up Japan..... we Indians doesn't jelous from any country, we believe on that if any country give the new thing to this world we should apprecaiate to them.
All Japanese proud of Shinkansen. Because it is convenient, comfortable,and more than anything else it is safety! Maintain cars , inspection and modifying the line all of the night.
I've been asking myself the same question... I've been all over Europe and parts of Asia. I love this country very much. I just wish that some of our priorities were a priority
Unbelievable country. Super fast, futuristic, clean, and so much respect and manners! The attendant actually looked back and bowed to the passengers!! That is unheard of anywhere else. I love Japan, and I cannot wait to visit the most advanced country on earth one day! :)
先住民にひどい事したり、だらしないことするな。

Beauty of well trained employees.
They can export the train but they can't export that politeness.
Did you notice nobody was even paying attention?
dat makeup tho.
probably because everyone knows what to do already
君らは、未開の集団だろ。
Japan is the best country in the world. Love from India.
君の国は、後進国だ。
I like going back to Japan again and again, sightseeing is very enjoyable, nature, temples/shrine, the harmony of modern and ancient, and Japanese women.

Ben in China that would be wrong to claim that Japanese people are polite because they are well paid. Throughout Asia, customer service is really important and there lies the major difference with the West.
Ben in China I lived three years in China and what you described is true but is perhaps more due to the customer behaviour ;-)
I have found that most Japanese are very professional regardless of their job or wages.
Ben in China It is nothing to do with the wages. This is their culture. Western service people are so much rude which reflect their rude culture.
You guys should just shut the fuck up and stop doing generalism, this is just stupid.
Such a professional crew. That uniform is immaculate.
Very smartly turned-out.

If I'm not mistaken, the Shinkansen system has a perfect safety record.
Right. 0 fatalities since the first day of service, in 1964.
Indeed
Yes, and it’s still perfect. Even in 2021
Was on a train in 2011 when the earthquake happened. Train started braking nearly the second the alert came over phone. Very safe

Great video! This does a great job of capturing what it's like when you ride a shinkansen!
ccross04 thanks for watching !
ccross04 ....Hi...
In my opinion, the best in all of this is to hear the motor sound when the train gains speed...
This is a great video. You have captured just what it is like on the fantastic Shinkansen. Much better of course to actually be on it, but it brings back so many memories. Many Thanks. Brian. New Zealand.
Visiting japan is my dream vacation
Thanks a lot for posting a clip featuring the excellent ride of the Nozomi Superexpress. I hope that I will be a passenger on the bullet train again before long.
aaaaaah I love how the stewardess bows to everyone before leaving the train car
I love how the conductor bows at every carriage when arriving at the final stop
Old Japanese tradition. It is to respect that person you meet.
someday i will go to japan.. i love japan country and culture
I will take you...
People say someday never do it. Do it now.
2:05 The sweet sweet sound of engines accelerating.
Motors, actually. But I know what you mean. Only a train lover knows what this means. And the clacking of the wheel boogies as they roll from one set of rails to the next unwelded set of rails. As Neil Diamond sang long back, "What a beautiful noise".

Love Japan and enjoy the Shinkansen! I recommend a Rail Pass for any foreigner wishing to visit Japan!
Larry Salaets как дела ?
Sat in one from Tokyo to Osaka. Cabin was damn cosy, had a nice bento meal during the ride and enjoyed a short nap and waking up shortly to beautiful scenery on route.
Only in Japan 😍😍😍
Thank you for coming to Japan!
Superb! The speeding outside view sure make me dizzy. Wow! Such clean and tidy trains and very disciplined people. They do deserve such a neat and smart railway system.
JRの新幹線は、世界一ですね‼️
It brings back memories when I was in Japan. Definitely would go back again
Japan is my favorite country. In november I will go there. This will be my 5. visit in 20 Month.
I will ride the shinkansen one day.. ;)
i Already :P
I miss Japan everything is wonderful
But I hear Japan has a terrible crime problem, maybe they should open up their boarders!
@@yajustgotaloveit crime rate in Japan is actually the lowest one in the world
Tommy Mika even as a person planning to immigrate into japan i think they should try and be a bit stricter on immigrants

I took this train in January 2012 -- brought back memories!
That beautiful memories! I mourn, strange lot Japan and this train
I like how the staff bow to everyone before they start inspecting your ticket. Outside of Japan, staff loudly demand to see your ticket.
Never can get tired of watching this video. Next time I'm in Japan, I need to record something like this =P
you should check my other video then:

Like Italian railways! 😂
Yeah, in our dreams!
I ❤ Japan!
TizElVito pizza pizza macaroni!
Of course I'm here for the train.
Japan🇯🇵 is very advance country rest of the world have to learn from them.🙂 lot's of love from India 🇮🇳 to our Japanese sisters and brothers 🇮🇳🙏🚩
Excellent! Love travel by train in Japan. The system functions so much better than here in Europe.

The trains are even worse in America. Amtrak is way too expensive, dated and way behind the times.
@@DanYellowZena It is still my dream to have a ride on Amtrak one day. The typical american look of the train kind of attracts me so much:)
The train left Okayama Station at the start of the video and pulled into Okayama Station at the end of the video. Mind blown 😵

its hard for me to define the culture of Japanese. .they r probably the most discipline and cultured people in the world..
+chandrakanth chandu Displined? Yes. Cultured? Not so much.
+SiegenDignitas No, they are both.
I don't know where you are from, but India have metro trains, and Indians have maintained it pretty good.
Well, first, thank you for such a positive comment to Shinkansen.

Great video! Thanks for sharing and allowing me to feel as if I was on the train.
Enjoyable ride video, Benoist. Thank you. Nice ladies, too!
New type N700A seems surprisingly comfortable by nowadays technology.
No opportunity yet, but want to ride it...
The train arrival speed is same as of maximum speed of indian trains
Please come to Japan and try to ride Shinkansen again.
We are waiting for your visiting everyday everytime.
Nice train, nice city.
happy days, i loved the music before the announcment
Europe created trains, Japan perfected it. Europe created cars, Japan perfected it.
Lovely train
The bullet train is such a brilliant method of transportation. I wish we had them here in the USA.
a great public transportation, wish someday i could ride.. thanks for the video
Mutual respect - Something sadly lacking here in the UK
I had the chance to live in japan early 90's. Is the most efficeint trian system i seen from all any other country.... BEST in the world.

JR九州の馬鹿連中は、韓国語、中国語の車内放送を始めたようです。気が狂っているとしか言いようがない。おもてなしのつもりだろうが、中国人、韓国人は媚びてくる下のクラスの人間としかみない。皆でJR九州に抗議のﾒｰﾙを出しましょう。
福岡市内は中国語、韓国語が駅等に溢れています。ここは日本だぞ!!!
中韓の観光客が多いんだから当たり前じゃん。
観光業に力いれないと九州なんてやっていけないんだから文句言うな。嫌なら勝手に鎖国して自滅しろ。

Wow, The Shinkansen Is Very Cool And The Ladies Are Very Beautiful :D
Texas will soon have a rail line between Dallas and Houston with the N700 Shinkansen similar to this one making it the first bullet train line in the country.
It the Texas line works out, I am sure investors will start looking at other place like Charlotte and Atlanta.
***** They cleared almost all the legal hurtles and they have the initial funding.
+Taras Shevchenko isnt there one being build in california too?
MrWalker1000 There are two: One from LA (I think) to Las Vegas which is being assisted by a Chinese company and has a high chance of being built and one from San Francisco to LA which has almost no chance of being finished because the project has already been screwed up.
+MrWalker1000 Maryland is looking to make one as well.
Your video is entertaining and educational. Would be nicer with commentary to know what is happening or where we are. or how this or that works.
wonderful and fantastic country
But very crowded
I just came back....... i would love to live there too.... I left someone there pretty damn special..
I like the Densha Otoko reference in your channel name. LOL
It`s like riding a plane! Amazing technology
I really love their culture of greeting people and how they had preserved it.Sadly saying 'Namaste' joining hands and Bowing is fading away from India.
now they are like " namaste " is old fashion say " hi" :(
No in India due to sarkari attitude in railway the standard is down and cleanliness and maintainance by passenger is horrible.
GT hey
japan & especially japanese people never stop fascinating me by their discipline & organization
Japan looks like such a clean and prestine country.
One of the recent problems is Chinese tourists from Mainland China. Places like Kyoto are filled with Chinese. They are so rude and have no manners. They throw away garbage and take a pee everywhere. We don't want them to come.
Tom I've heard about that, where mainlanders don't have any manners.
supper high speettbullet train in japan thank u
They even get the trains gap to the platform spot on.
They are replacing Trains that we are hoping to have in the future.
I do agree with your comments. I was there on my vacation, and I respect too much Japan and their people, culture, manner and so on. My sincere suggestion, go there spend some time and be happy. Greetings!
そうだよなぁ。新幹線も検札やってたんだよね。小学校の頃の記憶だけどカチャカチャって切ってもらうの嬉しかったな
日本人だけど1回しか新幹線乗ったことない
I’m Japanese,but it is only one ride bullet train.
いやあ、それもなかなか珍しいですよ。 最近は、新幹線は中国人が目立ちます。 うるさい、うるさい。 彼らが日本に来ると、ろくなことないです。
Very nice is respect of contry Japan. Love Japan!
cool. and they have three rows of seats on the right side!
Hiroshima to Tokyo in 10 mins! Wow!
Well done keep it up Japan..... we Indians doesn't jelous from any country, we believe on that if any country give the new thing to this world we should apprecaiate to them.
I love this video... although it reminds me how much I miss traveling in Japan.
Yeah, eat your heart out Amtrak - nothing beats high speed rail and great hospitality in Japan!
That looks like a very nice place to live.
All Japanese proud of Shinkansen.
Because it is convenient, comfortable,and more than anything else it is safety!
Maintain cars , inspection and modifying the line all of the night.
I really want to ride this train someday!!!
O povo japonês e muito educada parabéns povo e governo japonês agradeço pelos vidios estou admirado e orgulho . Jânio Luiz . Botucatu sp Brasil
I've been asking myself the same question... I've been all over Europe and parts of Asia. I love this country very much. I just wish that some of our priorities were a priority
普通の車両では困難かと思います。
ただ、東海道新幹線には11号車に車いす専用乗車扉があり、その近くに車いす専用座席(固定具・固定スペース付)・車いす対応トイレ・多目的室(フルフラットにできる座席があり、気分の悪いとき・授乳などに使用可。車掌に言えば無料で使える)があります。
しかし、11号車は指定席ですので、車いすのお客様は乗車料金・特急料金の他に必然的に指定席料金(通常期510円)が必要となってしまいます。
ほかの新幹線にも、一編成につき１か所は車いす対応扉があるはずです。
残念ながら自由席・グリーン車の場合は車いすは通れませんので、切符の購入前にきっぷ売場の係員に相談したほうがいいと思います。
Wow they only green that I have seen were the mountains in the back grounds, everything else, buildings, buildings everywhere =O
Propreté, courtoisie, confort ... pas de doute, nous avons des choses à apprendre pour nos TGV français, la grande vitesse ne suffit pas.
Vous pouvez rajouter aussi la ponctualité.
2 months ago i was on that train to hiroshima from tokyo
