for those one who wonder what is chime at minute 3:18 it's called "La mer Bleue", special chime only in Saphir Odoriko 😉
Gorgeous, only wish the USA would take a hint from Japan as to how to do it right!!!
They could...problem is, the passengers would trash the poor thing within a month or two. :-/
USA has 3rd world Bureaucracy
Why?
There are no passenger stations
If you're going from NYC to San Francisco. .
Faster and cheaper by air.
Japan is compact....
Distances are not like the US or Canada..
AMTRAK is a money loser.
If capitalists ain't forking out cash then it's a loser.
If government is involved then it's a loser.
A train from San Diego to San Francisco would take 8hrs. A plane about 1 hr..
The Japanese do this sort of luxury very well - never overstated. 👍😊
It is antiluxurious train. All seats are about half meter from window, it is terrible.
yeahh japan have 10 star of luxury train
What a stunning, beautiful train. Not just those seats, but the whole design and aesthetic, especially the big windows. Our new inter-city trains here in the UK are embarrassing next to this..
I totally agree!
::laughs in American::
You think your trains are embarrassing, on our trains one of the popular past times is to guess how far the spilt drink will spread across the floor before the last stop.
@@Lv-nq9qz What a shame - when you compare them to the great US trains of the past.
This is a "Luxirous" train. You are comparing apples to oranges.
It's the same here in USA. Trains are dirty inside and out, they hardly wash the dirt off. It all boils down to no pride, never on time, always depart late.
This reminds me of our family trip we made during the early 90's when I was a little child (we were living in Japan then). I still remember taking the Odoriko. It was a white unit with a boxy shape. Would love to take the new one as it is by far more attractive
I love being on the move with you; traveling, seeing new things, experiencing moments. Thanks so much! 🙏🙏🙏

@@Perktube1 this is a really nice recommendation! ty
@@Perktube1 A great suggestion. Love his video.
I admire how clean the Restrooms in Japan are.
In Germany its better not to drink much, so you do not have to get there 😳😳
I thought germany would be better than usual's? What I mean by usuals is, it's literally just a hole straight to the track.
@@rtbear674 it is sort of but japan is next level in trains
Always amazed how clean everything is in Japan, and how people seem to respect that- here in the UK our train toilets are known for being filthy, like it's a badge of honour...
Ni qu yin du, jiu hui tu.
@@exxon5430 huh?
Amtrak owners should watch this to learn a few things how a train company should operate. Don't feel bad UK, our trains in US are just as filthy.
People (some) have no manners/ respect for other passengers.
I have never seen a filthy train toilet and I ride the train frequently in the UK.
Le us Indians : Imma think I didn't read this
Kereta-kereta jepang banyak banget ragamnya, belum ditambah interiornya yang beraneka rupa. Kapan ya bisa ke jepang menjelajah dengan kereta di sana.. .
The sink with the soap dispenser, water faucet, and hand dryer all on one panel is brilliant! No mess and drippings from hand drying to clean up!
That meal at $10 is a bargain on that train.
Это так дёшево просто копейки
When Amtrak charges like $8.50 for a prepackaged cold hot dog, yeah. Bargain indeed
@@Marina-R-5 и аппетитно выглядят! Это гурманское блюдо в большинстве ресторанов в Штатах, легко по 20 долларов за тарелку. (Я не говорю по русски, это переводится с помощью гугла)
When I visit Japan, I want Kuga to handle all my local travel. These are amazing journey's and the prices are good most of the time too.
Цены дешевле чем в Москве
@@Marina-R-5 У меня есть друг в Москве. Она соглашается.
I need to go to Japan one day 😭
I miss hearing the onboard announcements in Japanese. Something about that was just so calming to me when I was traveling in Japan!
Yesss! The departure and arrival chime too :)
@@adimasguntur Absolutely!!!
It's their voice, right? So smooth when they talk :)
@@alexstrolls801 It's the whole package!
@@adimasguntur sometimes I just listen to Yamanote announcements and station chimes on youtube :)
It's nice to hear that Donna Burke is still doing the English voices for the train announcements.
the announcements were done by Jean Wilson, as this train is operated by JR East
...You know you're a train enthusiast, when you keep track of who they recorded for the announcements. :-)
lmao. i never even liked trains in my country, but was amazed by them when i got to Japan. it is my favorite mode of transport whenever i am there. i haven't heard yet Donna Burke north of the Tokaido Shinkansen
That is one beautiful train, and for a rail lover like me it makes me smile knowing that good new trains are coming online.
OH MY GOD!!! I KNOW KUGA’S REVIEW OF SAPHIR ODORIKO WILL BE EPIC 😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you for making these train videos! They make me feel less sad about not visiting Japan for a few years because of the pandemic.
The carbon fiber on the back of the seats is simply stunning.
I love this train! The food, the design, the seats, everything is perfect.
The Train looks super clean.
Japan - reintroducing traditional style into the modern world. This is incredible.
What a great train. And what a great country. When people take pride in their work everything becomes nicer.
Thank you very much for posting this. Interesting the layout in the premium green car, as I thought the aisle would be in the middle for the seats to be at window side of the car, making it more appealing to the passenger.
Yes, the way it’s now is really odd. That way nobody has to bother another passenger getting on and off.
Looks like the seats are much wider.
I agree ☝️. It takes away from the immersive experience. It’s still nice 👍 though.
I would assume a lot of people going to or from Shimoda are tourists in pairs or a group. So they would probably want to sit together rather than separated by an aisle.
It runs along the coastline so I presume not many want the land view side.
Let me clarify why the seats are only on one side. Simply put it's because the line mainly runs with the sea to its east/south. So in order to attain good views for both passengers, JR East placed the seats to the right. Since this train's selling point is it's views you wouldn't want to be staring at the side of a cliff for the whole time, would you?
I’m glad you brought this up. I think most people don’t know that these seats can also be swiveled around 180° by train staff when the train travels back in the opposite direction. This way, both seats can get optimal seaside views traveling to or away from Tokyo.
I wondered about that initially, but as soon as I saw the views out that side, it was easily explained.
Thanks!
Makes perfect sense.
@@CloudLilac1 I was just about to say 'what about the return journey.
For that to work the train's orientation also cannot change (e.g. if the car at the end of the train that points towards Tokyo is now changed to face towards Izu instead, & vice-versa for the car @ the other end of the train), which would happen if the train entered a siding/depot that's perpendicular to the line (& accessible from both directions of travel along the line) & did a "3-point turn" there
Your videos have inspired me to travel to Japan. The Japanese tourist board should give you a job. Well done, and please keep posting!
Arigatō.
As an American that had family members who worked for the railroad (Santa Fe from Chicago to LA)....I'm jealous of Japan railways. So sleek, clean, and modern....unlike what we have allowed ours to become. Tyvm for another informative and entertaining video!! 😎
у тебя всегда интересные репортажи . никогда не был в Японии . но очень хочется посмотреть . для меня это как другая планета

Salutări din România 👋👋👋👋👋👋🇹🇩🇹🇩🚆🚆🚆🚆 un tren modern
Japan has no issues on environment, it is always clean, green and tidy. every equipment has functionality as intended purposes. love your vlog
Those seats look like they could do double duty as a monarch's thrown 👑
Wow, that was a plush train ride. The train seemed quiet and so comfortable. Your meal in the dining car looked delicious. Thanks for letting us go along for the ride. See you on the next journey!
What a gorgeous train. Japan 🇯🇵 always does things with such class. Would love to see a video of that high speed ferry to the islands though. Great video as always 😻
It is antiluxurious train. All seats are about half meter from window. Are you troll?
Thanks for your travel vlogs. I discovered your channel quite recently, but I am trying to watch now on the fly. For us Europeans, Japan is a difficult country to travel due to its large cultural differences and language. Your videos make it much easier, even if it's just watching.
Hope the COVID travel restrictions will be lifted soon. Can’t wait to travel Japan again. Thank you very much for sharing the wonderful clips. I’ve been enjoying your videos!
I was supposed to go to Japan for April 2019. It is crazy how long it now has been.
The train will then be full of noisy tourists ha ha…🤣
Ignore restrictions and do what you feel
You were born feee don’t allow government systems to control your one and only life
@@-M0LE wow just wow
If and when they’re lifted, have ticket in hand and ready to go because more crazy craziness will be right behind it (within the year). They’ll not stop as long as people submit.
Love the panorama windows of this train
Great Travel Vlog 👍 love it, keep Travelling
電車のアナウンスメント、駅のバックグラウンド音声。日本に旅をした～い！
Wow what an amazing rain, and even a food service on a such a short trip too. Just awesome.
Thanks for covering the Izu peninsula! It's underrated, I think.
Man I loved the seat that you had. It looked very comfortable. And all the windows around gave one heck of a view. And the food you ordered look good too. You got premium first class for a good price and I said it was worth every penny if you wasn't tired when you got off. That's the one thing I hate about taking trips on planes boats trains and ferries like that it's when you're tired afterwards. But love the view of it
Thanks for sharing your beautiful country with us!
Absolutely beautiful I can't wait to visit Japan
Finally a clip with a proper and underandable english ... bravo
Amazed to see that the Premium class seating was wrapped in carbon fiber. That is a very pricey upgrade! The owners of this train service spared no expense, apparently.
I love the train announcement with beautiful lyrics 😌😻
So sad and hard to believe we had a war together with this country. Granted, the politics have changed, but they are such a thoughtful, warm, yet precise and meticulous people. One love. Love transcends borders.
Thank you for another lovely video! Safe travels!!!
What beautiful trains - thank you for taking us along.
What a lovely train, meal, and journey! Thank you for sharing your trip.
This is truly train travel at its best.
Surely Japanese trains are the best in the world? They all look so clean, organized, classy and functional!
It's an interesting luxury train, those big windows to watch along the coast line and the landscape, I hope you had a great time, thanks Kuga
Thank you for sharing your ride on Saphir Odoriko with all of us. It's so sleek, so very comfortable, squeaky clean as always ... one wishes the ride could be longer especially with such fine food served in the cafetaria. Thumbs up. Enjoyed it immensely.
Beautiful train!!! I was so happy to see a new video! Thanks for sharing your experience!!🌷👍🥳
Each time I watched your video, it make me want to go to Japan real bad.
I really admire your channel! Thanks for the calming non-nonsense showcase of all relevant information incl. train stops and prices! I like to travel and I recently found my passion for public transportation in foreign countries. Therefore your channel is great to get a glimpse of what you can expect e.g. in Japan! Thanks a lot! All the best from Germany & keep it up
Noch jemand, der diese Aufnahmen so toll findet? Sehr schön :-)
Habe mir hier auch mittlerweile sämtliche Videos über Züge und Zugfahrten in Japan angesehen und muss sagen, sie begeistern auch mich 😀 (obwohl ich eigentlich gar nicht gerne Zug fahre). Dort sind die Züge aber schon etwas außergewöhnlich!
Darum gerne immer mehr solcher Aufnahmen 😉
Thank you for taking us with you on this journey
Beautiful Train
I love the sheer variety of trains that exist in Japan! We don't have that in France.
Now that’s how train travel should be
Thanks for another good trip, I enjoy traveling with you.
Man, the Japanese do it different. First class on a train in The netherlands means you have a USB plug and a slightly less busy cabin. Nowhere near as nice as this!
I'm amazed at how noisy this train is inside. It's not as soundproof as any of the trains you showed us until now. Thought it looks amassing.
What a nice ride i hope someday can i visit japan ..
Thank you for including Euro prices! 😃 I was fine with Dollar but this gives me a better feeling for your voyages and how much they cost.
ルクセンブルクからこんにちは❤️
いつかルクセンブルクから来てください。🚆
Everything looked just wonderful! Thanks for posting...
👋
Great trip. Looks like Japan launched many limited express train like this. It's strange to see the 1+1 seat configuration but the aisle not in center.
Wow so beautiful. A brand new train with so amazing decoration. Lucky you ☺️
I would love to travel on this train. I have always wanted to visit and tour Japan. I'm used to travelling coach when I fly and this is many levels above that. Good show. Cheers!
Thanks for this program !!!!
i will most definitely have to take this next time. thanks for sharing.
So glad I caught this early. Your videos bring me peace. Thank you
These videos have brought me so much joy lately!
Very nice!! visiting Japan is on my bucket list I hope to visit some day.
Thanks for sharing your latest train adventure with us.
I always loved the great variety of trains you have in Japan, although it did lead to some confusion when travelling around your country.
That is a very nice looking train, and the inclusion of so much wood gives a really nice feel, as well as the use of quality cutlery in the cafeteria.
Japan and her trains, man its just amazing!
Wow, that is a really luxurious train! Thanks for sharing your trip with us :-)
I took that train in September. It was a beautiful ride. Definitely enjoyed it. And, Shimoda was great as well. Thanks for sharing
Great video love the food and the train journey amazing
Beautiful scenery, Thanks!😎👍👍
Thank you for the great video. Greatly appreciated the map and commentary.
Brilliant video...keep up the good work 👍👍
I love your videos...very relaxing and interesting at the same time..
Grand Video Thank You !
Thank you for taking us on this trip ☺️
Wow. Just wow.
What a lovely Train. Thanks for the video
I miss Japan but thanks for your videos, get to see and ride the shinkansen and local trains again hahaha! Hope this Covid will end soon so we can use our multiple Japan visas before it expires.😊
Thanks Kuga, looks very comfortable!
Thank you! I enjoyed this ride.
Great video !!
Thank you so much for sharing ! 🙏
14:05 There should be a button to make the chair go back in its original default position so you don't have to keep fiddling with the buttons
A good video yet again,the train was nice and clean my friend.thank you and keep the videos coming.
Dave uk 🇬🇧
What a gorgeously-appointed train ❤️! All the wood, all the windows - imagine if they gave that sort of treatment to one of the sleeper shinkansens 😮! I wouldn’t ever want to get off the train 😆! That run along the seashore was beautiful, too - was surprised this was such a scenic trip, being that close-in to Tokyo and all. Great video!
Very excited
Wow ! You make me want to go and visit Japan right now and experience those trains trips ! Love ever about that train ! Quality and good value for money !
Japanese people are very clean, neat, polite, they respect you and themselves, and are very efficient.
Again beautiful coastal scenery, loved it.
I would love to go on this train. I wish we had trains like this in Canada.
