Lovely presentation. Btw is there a link to reserve seats in advance online if I have the Kansai Hiroshima pass? I intend on travelling on this
Your videos are very well done - no such thing as a boring train ride in Japan (IMHO).
Thank you! Definitely agree. This one was especially fun because of the snow - I couldn't ride the previous day.
your videos are so relaxing
Glad to hear it - I was aiming for that with this one especially.
Yes, it was like ASMR and hypnosis all at once, but i didn't sleep because the footage and information was so good.
really loved this
I traveled on the same series of trains 287. It was a Kuroshio LE - Osaka-Wakayama-Osaka, it was cool - one seat in the first car on the right, green car =)
Good times! Did you get one with the panda design and all the animals on the sides?
It was an ordinary train =( I learned about Panda and Hellokitty etc upon returning home, when I became interested in JR trains =)
Welcome to the club then! I've recently taken that train, both panda and non-panda variants, so will be doing a video for that epic journey down to Nachi falls. Great scenery on that route, right?
Yes, It was very beautiful in autumn!
Thanks
Your videos are so informative and perfect for me ...I'm heading to Amanohashidate and Ine mid November this year and was hoping the JR rail pass ,which I'll collect in Osaka apon arrival to Japan, (heading to Kyoto first) could be used to get to Amanohashidate too :). Love to see a video of your time there also
Thanks! Good to hear. I have at least 2 more Amanohashidate videos coming up.
@@japanunravelled Oh fantastic will keep an eye out :) Have you ever travelled in the Izu area ? Hard to find many videos of the peninsula and coastal areas with views of Mt Fuji
Wow, amazing journey. The place is wonderful. Nice video, friend.
Thank you very much!
great! we plan to ride this train to Amanohashidate. Useful tip regarding where to seat. I didn’t know you’d still have to pay cash even if you have kansai wide pass, so we are going prepared thanks to you!!
No, you only need to pay extra if you're using the national JR pass. It's included on the others like Kansai Wide.
ah! I got it mixed up. thanks!! then its good news for us 😁
Hello!! Another great clip!! Keep them coming!!
You mentioned that with National JR there is a surcharge, Im aware, but do you know how much is it and when we need to pay it (like in advance or on train)?
Thanks for your time and keep the good work 😊
Thanks Pete, good to hear from you again. You have to pay 1750 yen one way for that section. I think they should have included it in the national pass when the price went up. However, it's included in the two regional passes, as well as others, which makes them even more of a bargain. Staff will come to collect the fee on the train, although I think you can also pay at the ticket gate when you arrive.
may i know do u have to book the ticket in adv ?
if yes which website can u book it
On the day or the day before you're usually fine. At the ticket office or machine is easiest.
Thanks for the informative video! Could you please share which make & model is that mini laptop at 4:53 ? :) It looks very portable. I wonder how much power it has and what kind of work is possible to do on it. Thank you!
It's a Cosmo Communicator. It was great until the keyboard failed. Decent typing on the move. The maker, well, search for "Astro Slide" and read the comments.
Got it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the informative video. Can we make reservation online using Kansai wide area pass, in advance? Since this is a reserved 'only' train are there free seats available one day in advance?
Best to check with JR West about the online reservations - they have a English enquiries form if you look for it. I've reserved seats on the day no trouble. A day or two in advance will be more than enough.
thanks for the detailed video, I plan to go to Amanohashidate too in 10 days from now but I couldn't figure out how to reserve a seat for hashidate train on JR west website as they don't show the destination miyazu/amanohashidate for selection. The thing is I will arrive to Kyoto from Tokyo on shinkansen and right after that from Kyoto station heading straight to Amanohashidate without staying in Kyoto, so I'm afraid if I don't buy/reserve the ticket for Amanohashidate in advance, I may be short in time in between two trains trying to figure out how to get the ticket. I also watched your video about Kansai wide pass and it is very helpful to know if I use the pass to go to Amanohashidate then how could i reserve a seat on the train as it is mentioned that reserved seat is required?
If I were you, I'd visit a ticket office in Tokyo and get them to book it.
@@japanunravelled thanks for the tips, I'll try in Tokyo, else I will take the bus option which is probably easier to manage.
Let me know how it goes!
