I love the Taiwan HSR Business Class, it's the only way I travel from Taipei to Taichung when visiting Taiwan. So cheap compared to any trains in the UK. Cool video. Great reminder of another reason why Taiwan is awesome.
Having lived in both countries I'll take the HSR any day, solely based on price. I lived in Japan when the yen was a lot stronger and it was easily 5x the price for a similar length journey when converted to GBP
Japan has multiple different Shinkansen, some that are more like the hsr and some that are way newer and faster. HSR despite being built by the Japanese, it runs on a European rail system and has a closed operator window, where as the Japanes has a open operator window so the operator can peak out to make sure they dont have people stuck on the doors and run on a Japanese rail system.
Taiwan's train system was developed during the Japanese era, and since Taiwan is relatively small, if you are in Japan, you should try the sleep train, 😅You can ride it all the way from Hokkaido to Tokyoin the midnight, and the train has food in a restaurant, and even take a shower. It's quite a nice experience.
TBF, taiwan HSR business class is more comparable to shinkansen green car, which is a class above the regular seats. Gran Class, which Prozzie is riding is only available on some trains (central/north Japan) and priced a lot higher. The Gran Class tickets do have tiers as well if you want food service.
One major difference, not in hardware, but in operations: The Taiwanese might have taken a look at the 2005 Amagasaki Derailment, or maybe not, either way, they chose to have their Drivers trained by DB rather than JR for the Shinkansen HSR-Operations. Sometimes you might even have a german driver operating the train, still.
I remember seeing a model of the proposed Melbourne-Sydney VFT (Very Fast Train) at Expo '88 in Brisbane. And have newspaper articles on it from 1985. Speeds were to be 350km/h. Almost 40 years later, we're still waiting. 🤔
@emdB67 yep, I remember that as well. I believe it was scrapped because the construction time was 10-20+ years and would cost way too much financial investment from the government about 80%.
The Japanese like to bring bento boxes to eat, but I've seen service in the GranClass in other videos. Gweilo 60 likes to bring a six-pack of tall beers on the Mainland high-speed trains.

The biggest difference might be the Taiwanese Drivers being trained by DB rather than JR.
Loving the pronunciation of quinoa
What about "shinkenshen" 😂
ha ha ... yeah it's keen-wah
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just a note. Taiwan is getting new train sets and they’re scheduled to start service in 2026.
台灣買的新車保證也不是日本最好的，最好的車種日本不會賣出去的。
@ parthian945 It’s good to know. It’s way overdue.
畢竟台灣高鐵700T也算是老車了, 日本東北新幹線E5系的設備確實比較好
日本對應台灣商務艙等級的車廂是Green Car, 在隔壁9號車, 而Prozzie所搭乘的10號車是更高等級的GranClass, 除了設備豪華, 票價也很可觀 😆
This, arguably Prozzie took what would be "First Class", if we went by the airline cabin classification. Business class would be the Green Cars.
Gran Class 超貴，但是一分錢一分貨
2:21 😂😂😂
haha I was surprised the PA system came on the same time I pressed the button
How much was it to park your scooter? 🛵

They have some really cool train interior designs on their local executive lines
Japan is the best train
日本高鐵火車感覺還是比較時尚， 設備比較好！
BUSINESS class. That TH-cam money must be rolling in!
Kidding.
新干线最好，没有之一。新干线的好，就如所有日本产品一样，不张扬，不浮夸，是让人真正舒服的好。

這2樣比較不適合，台灣高鐵的商務艙(business class)跟日本新幹線的商務艙(Green class)是一樣的配置，而JR東日本除了商務艙(Green class)外還有多了一個頭等艙first class(Gran class)也就是影片中這個車廂，所以要比較的話台灣高鐵的商務艙應該是對比日本新幹線的Green class商務艙而不是影片中的Gran class頭等艙，就好像搭飛機不會拿商務艙跟頭等艙比較，拿商務艙對比頭等艙那當然頭等艙會贏，也當然頭等艙的票價會比商務艙貴很多10:14
Thoroughly enjoyable video my friend! The Taiwanese HSR wins it for me! Snacks and a coffee is great service!
What's the cost difference?
a bunch
Great question
@@Prozzie Great answer! 👍

@@鄭海宇 i have always wanted to try this!
Wonderful video! Great information and I look forward to my retirement in Taiwan. You are doing a great job with content!
台灣高鐵是歐日混合體，硬體建設交通號誌是歐規，可雙向通行，車輛是日製，但還配合歐規修改，歐規隧道體較大，車頭可擴大就不用那麼長，而且有警示系統，預地震、颱風危
及時可強制停車，幾年前大地震時發揮了作用，沒造成事故。
我從桃園到台南高雄都是坐國道客運，坐和欣客運的話就有像新幹線那種可以平躺的椅子了，票價也比高鐵便宜太多，但是桃園到台南要兩個小時左右
客運很好睡👌
Absolutely loved it thank you.
Taiwan THSR is SWEEEEEET!!!! Even the regular economy cars are great and also have snacks and coffee - you just have to pay separately.
Canadas high speed trains are better, just kidding we don't have those in Canada 😅
😂😂😂
那是因為你住台中而已，往北往南時間都很短，如果是高雄到台北就要1.5hr，商務艙的舒適度就很重要了
Prozzie 🤣老師說的有在聽啦🤗

日本新幹線很明顯先進台灣太多，不管是列車還是裝潢
題外話，日本磁浮列車
首都圈（東京）至中京圈（名古屋）預計2027先開通。東京至大阪預計2037年全線開通

又來看Prozzie了，廢話不多說趕緊先按個讚
Prozzie needs a Taiwanese and Japanese rimmer on the trains.
分析的很好
Nice experience!
去日本很多次沒坐過新幹線我們都租車
I can't wait for Australia to get high-speed trains. 8 - 10hrs in a car just to get to the capital city of Queensland sucks

Taiwanese one.. the people are more chill and so nice
Taiwan!! 🇹🇼
謝謝你們的分享與介紹❤讚👍
日本新幹線有很多條、各個車樣式、顏色都不同、設計新穎我很喜歡
The Japanese like to bring bento boxes to eat, but I've seen service in the GranClass in other videos. Gweilo 60 likes to bring a six-pack of tall beers on the Mainland high-speed trains.
你嚇到的表情好可愛😂
To taoyuan!? The best city in Taiwan! You know it's true
Same company made Shinkansen &HSR , must be same
I don’t think the Taiwanese bullet train has Brad Pitt, Bad Bunny or any ensuing mayhem like the Japanese Bullet Train does…
台灣的高鐵商務艙搭上穿著喇叭褲 跳迪斯可的約翰屈伏特更顯得合適嗎 😁😁
你如果從台北（南港）搭到高雄（左營）、時間也是要1.5小時、搭商務艙也會比較舒服
Hey, you don't always fly economy, I saw you at Taoyuan Airport once and you were in the business class line! Nice video though!
Yea that wasn't me. I haven't flown business class in my life
高鐵還需要三年以上才有新的可以用
他搭的是新幹線的頭等艙而不是商務艙，日本新幹線最新車上的商務艙跟台灣高鐵的商務艙幾乎長一樣
😀😀

抱歉，2:21 我笑歪了
日本高鐵比台灣高鐵更好，那是一定的，日本本來就是把最好的留在國內，最差的賣到外國，另外票價日本也比台灣貴很多吧？一分錢一分貨嘛！😂😂😂
Quinoa is commonly pronounced as "KEEN-wah".
Chih-know-ah
日本新幹線還有雙層的、很棒！
我還是喜歡台灣的高鐵🚄＇票價實惠😊⋯⋯日本高鐵🚄較貴
Ghost😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
照理來說，美國跟加拿大更需要高速鐵路，因為國土面積很大！不能只有航空業來壟斷！
高鐵運營成本太貴
😎❤️🇹🇼‼️
👍❤ very nice video good job prozzie
😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤
日本跟歐洲一樣做精品把東西做的很好，同樣東西一定超貴
加拿大哥哥👍
日本新幹線商務艙大勝
I hate Taiwan high speed rail beusce the trains are the worst
There is no comparison Taiwan is like a 4th world country when compared
？？？？？
