Japan is a wonderful country. Japanese culture is really quite special. In fact, I feel most Asian countries are pretty neat. Japan has a lot to offer. It's quite different from the West, but in many good ways. Eventually the west may end up mirroring Japan a bit more with all the tech they offer throughout, but for now things are still done pretty much with labor and service jobs available. Japan does not have as much of that so they use more technology to support a lack of people working in labor force. This channel gives a really good view of that. In fact, one of his videos he stays in a hotel and visits a restaurant where no human being is working. It's all technology and robots. But he gets along just fine. Japan is also very clean. People take a lot of pride in cleanliness of their cities and the communal areas. No trash around, no homelessness, no people begging or scheming for money, little to no crime, and people are polite and mind their business. It's quite pleasant to see. Watch videos of people in the states from big cities to small towns and you will see the opposite.
Très beau reportage, ça me rappelle mon voyage au Japon en 2019, juste avant la pandémie. Ce pays est superbe et les Japonais sont très gentils, j'ai hâte d'y retourner.
Dalla traduzione in italiano (se il traduttore automatico non traduce male, come temo) risulta che tu hai guidato il treno "Shinkansen" negli anni '80. Come hai potuto guidarlo ? Eri un guidatore di treni ed avevi un permesso speciale per guidarlo ? A me pare impossibile perchè tu non sei un ferroviere giapponese con licenza per poter guidare quel tipo di treno.
4:48. YOUR SO LUCKY TO ENCOUNTER THE 500 SERIES!! I have always wanted to ride on one of those! They are my top favourite trains of all times. But sadly. 9 (discount 1 that is preserved in Kyoto railway museum W1). Only 6 of them are remaining (V2, V3, V4, V7, V8 and V9 formations) and V5 and V6 (which is getting dismantled soon as I heard). I really hope you could do a trip report on one of these before they are all gone. These are really rare trains to ride on.
Wow! I would love to ride that bullet train. History Lesson: I lived in Pueblo, Colorado in the early 70’s. A Bullet Train was purchased from Japan. They built a test track. They collected additional taxes to fund it. It was to run from Pueblo to Colorado Springs to Denver, a distance of 114 miles. It was never built. But you could still take the train. It ran on a fright track and took around 8 hours, a whopping 14 mph! USA RIP
As an American I find this hilarious and so on brand for us 😂😂 always stealing the ideas of other countries but never quite able to replicate anything gracefully or accurately lol
And my my, i really recommend to trying out the 700 hikari rail stars running on Hikari/ Hikari Rail Stars services so you could experience the glory days of when first they enter service (they are used to fight against air travel back when they first enter service). But because of N700-8000 series running Hikari, Sakura and Mizuho services. They mostly replace the 700 series rail star running on Hikari services resulting in them now running on Kodama services. 700 series rail star running Hikari services are rare nowadays. If you ever have the chance to do so. I really recommend you doing so.
Thank you for the video! Wow that is expensive to use the private room, but it sure is interesting! The 700-7000 series Railstar is the last running 700 series, i really love the shape of the 700 series, it's such a pity... X_X Interesting to see the voltage change from AC to DC on the 225 series!
Thanks for your ride. It was a pleasure to watch. I hope i can visit Japan sometime. The ICE's in germany can speed up to 320kp/h but on most of the tracks they can only drive above 200kp/h 😅 would be a dream if the trains here are as punctual like yours
I eat with you although, I like your food a lot more! I don’t mean to sound weird, but I feel as if I am napping when you nap…I am refreshed when you open your eyes and I haven’t even closed mine. Your humor is spot on: “Hehe” BRAVO, BRAVO ❗️♥️❗️
We don't have trains here, we can't since we're a small island. But recently, we've been making tram ways to help reduce traffic jams. So now the trams are the most crowded and buses are running a bit less.

Podróż bez pudełka bento byłaby niepełna. Bento jest zawsze bogato skomponowane i apetyczne 😋 Te pociągi mkną jak błyskawica 😀 Fantastyczny pomysł z pokojami w pociągu😀👍 w Polsce pociągi Pendolino osiągają maksymalna prędkość 250 km/h. Reszta poniżej 200 km/h, skromniutko 🤔 Dzięki za fajną podróż 😀👋
Pendolino w Polsce to obecnie 200km/h max (250 to maks. prędkosć użytkowa tego modelu w ogóle) , i to ciągle na dosć krótkim odcinku, ale chyba w tym roku 200 ma być też osiągalne na jakims odcinku pomiędzy Warszawą i Gdanskiem :)

12:56 While you're watching Stephen Patula's channel and I'm watching your channel, it makes me feel like I'm traveling🚅 in Japan, and it's interesting to me, hope you have more videos to share, keep it up.👍
Nice vid, surprised to see private room Shinkansen train. Does Japan Rail pass cover this private room? For 3 friends with Japan Rail Pass, how to book this?
In Italy, we have Italo (ETR 675), approved for up to 300 km/h which however travels at 250 km/h, Frecciarossa 500 (ETR 500) approved for up to 340 km/h and Frecciarossa 1000 (ETR 1000) approved, I believe, at 400 km /h, although the maximum speed achieved in the test is slightly lower. But the Italian high-speed lines are either too old or too short. I believe the regulations do not allow speeds above 300 km/h.
The fastest that BART (our local rapid transit) travels is 70 mph/112 kph. So, breaking even in terms of speed compared to driving, but definitely less hassle than trying to negotiate the freeways into and out of San Francisco, to say nothing of traffic in the city.
I am from india our fastest train is 200km/ but don't worry japan is making bullet trai. In our country E5 series max 320 km i am waiting for that train 🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵♥️🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵♥️🇯🇵🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵♥️🇮🇳🇯🇵♥️🇮🇳🇯🇵♥️🇮🇳🇯🇵♥️🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵♥️🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵♥️🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵🇯🇵♥️🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵
260-280km/h and 3:16h? This is slowly bullet ;) Nice room. Please Morena japan trams. Have you ride on mini Shinkansen? In Poland the fastest trains is Pendolino. 200km/h
Hiroshima was one place that I visited in Japan - I thought I would just go, walk around the museum and be like "hey" and move on. Nope - I question if anyone can really visit Hiroshima and not be even slightly affected by what happened there.
One could also say the same about any place where Japan slaughtered millions prior to the end of the war. No killing is good, but the end of war is good.
Merci pour cette vidéo, cela change des trajets avec les trains à grande vitesse un voyage tranquille et agréable dans une cabine privée cool. Au Nord de la France nous avons les TGV inouï (prix standards) et ouigo (low cost). Mais je trouve que vos trains sont stylés et je vous remercie de nous les faire découvrir.
When I was a child and bullet trains started in Japan I thought America would get some. I think we were steered to airlines. You still have to find a way to get from an airport to the city itself and airports are disliked for noise over housing. But we supported the airline companies so long they are entrenched in their system of finding the travel need and adjusting flights to meet it. As a culture we get talked out of trains and building the infrastructure needed. So we tolerate the great speed we can travel by them. I watch another channel where a man takes AMTRAK Roomette trips and our trains just go slow and out of the way of our mountains. Our trains share tracks with freight trains. America never found a reason to rebuild the tracks for 180 MPH Shinkansen. Planes just go over everything in the way. That said, I do have a bucket list to take a long Amtrak someday. It's about the only way you can have attention on the view of the country instead of the roadway and other drivers. But for casual "go visit the family" travel? If I went from Savannah, GA to Glenview, IL I go to Washington, DC first and it's three different trains (and occasionally a connecting bus) in my trip. It costs $198 to $410 for coach seating one way. It takes 37 to 43 hours. I'd still have to take a 4th METRA train to get near to where my family could meet me with their car to go to their rural home. In some ways it's better than having them drive to the airport some hour+ away by highway; but I picture it as stressful for me as the traveler making all the transfers and ticket buying.
Great trip. My biggest question, is this private room only available in Kodama Shinkansen who running between Hakata and Shin Osaka? Or there are private room in same route at higher tier Shinkansen like Hikari and Nozomi? Secondly, is that room only at one of train end or there is another room at other end of train? Talking about High Speed Train, my country will get their First High Speed Train delivery around this year and will be operating maybe early next year. At this moment, the fastest train in my country is only around 100-120 km/h.
Hi, Alan! The private room service is only available on "700series - Railstar" and its Kodama and Hikari tier. I recommend you go to JR's ticket offices and ask when "Railstar" go in operation. The private room section is located only on "Car 8". Which end of the train it will be depends on the destination, toward Hakata or Shin-Osaka. I hope these help. Thanks for the information. You live in Indonesia??

GREAT VIDEO! Love watching those trains passing, crazy fast.
awesome !
love the superfast shinkansen passing by in the stations! bento looks yummy too!
Glad to see your new video! I'm wondering where are you 🤭 . Having a bento on train is always amazing, especially in a private room 🤩
When I watch Japanese relaxing train travels. I hear calming mountain breeze rytham whispering through my soul . Ty Japan.
It's an experience to learn about Japanese railway and transport system watching this type of excellent video's.Wonderful.
Hi I don’t know why but I enjoy you videos… keep up the good work of showing us japan culture and curiosities!
I have been living vicariously thru your travels. The U.S. does not have fast trains. Thank you for showing me these places.
Perfect train, great country, I love Japan and her citizens.
Another really nice video. I spent time in Japan in the 80’s. One of the highlights was riding the Shinkansen. The speed! I really want to return.

浜松からは、貸し切りバスに乗って天竜浜名湖鉄道の天竜二俣駅に行き気動車に乗ってから気動車に乗ったまま洗車機に入ったり転車台で回ったりしました。 次にうなぎパイファクトリーに行きお土産にうなぎパイのセットや色々買いました。

新金谷駅から、大井川鐵道のトーマス号に乗って千頭駅まで蒸気機関車の旅を味わいました。
千頭駅に到着してからは、パーシーやヒロやジェームスを見たり写真を撮影したりしました。
千頭駅からバスに乗って、浜松駅まで行く途中に門出駅の道の駅に寄りました。
浜松駅で１７時５１分の「こだま７３９号」に乗って新大阪駅に帰りそこで新大阪駅から参加した６名と添乗員さんと別れて、私と友達は２０時２３分の「のぞみ９９号」で広島駅まで帰りました。
とても楽しい、１泊２日の旅行でした。
It was good the green button was not for an emergency stop.
That was exciting
If there’s no additional charge to use the private room why did you have to buy one adult and two children tickets?
It's because you need at least 3 people to use the room. So I had to buy 2 children tickets extra to become "3"
Amazing!!!
