First Time Riding JAPAN'S FASTEST Bullet Train It's our first time on a Shinkansen or Japan bullet train, which is the most comfortable and convenient way to discover Japan. We share our tips on how to buy the tickets, board the train and show you our experience on the Nozomi train (that can go up to 300 km/hour!). But Nagoya isn't our final stop, we then hop on a local bus to take us to Takayama, a small city in Japan's mountainous Gifu Prefecture known for it's beauty and exceptionally high quality Hida Wagyu beef.

Do you still have your place in Koh Samui?
Japan has some of the fastest Bulit-trains in the world. Flora and Note thank you both for always putting a 110 percent effort in each quality video that you both make. Flora and Note you two will always be my favorite TH-cam channel.
Thank you so much, Dominic!

When buying bento first walk around the various shops and check selection/price. Tokyo Station has an incredible variety in all price points. Japan trains are very comfortable and I always enjoy riding them. Enjoyed the video. Thank you.
Next time we will ship around more 🤭

I love how you all drank nihonshu like shots. Usually you drink them in small sips, but whatever floats your boat :)
Hahahabwe didn’t know 🤭

Ha ha ha doing shots in reception ! Party in Takayama …. Although quite an expensive country, one cannot pass visiting to experience the people , culture and sensational landscapes!
Enjoy guys!
What a bargain that hotel is for that size room and all the amenities. Good job Flora 👍
Yes it was! Japan wasn’t as expensive as we expected
@@FloraandNote yes my friend has been out there with his band from the Uk on tour and he said its cheaper than London
1 2 3 on your mark, set go, run as fast as you can Flora and Note to catch the 180mph bullet train. Note seemed so excited for the train. I am crying because your done in Tokyo. Congrats you made it to Takayama. Hotel and room looks outstanding. Absolutely Outstanding / Loved Day 1
Takayama might be our favourite place in Japan so far! Can't wait to show you this Saturday when the video comes out :)

Just FYI for everyone else, you also can actually put your full size luggage on the overhead rack as well. It will fit and it won't slide around. I didn't know this when I took the Shinkansen for the first time. So I ended up putting my luggage within our seat, just in front of my legs. This is actually a very bad thing to do in case of an emergency. So just get some muscles to help you and put the luggage up top. :)
Hi, a 24 inch can fit on top? Mine is less than 160cm in total. Thinking to put in front of us. Do I have to make a reserves seat for luggage? Thanks
Wagyu is nice as always
I like Japan food 😋
I am a big fan of your channel. I am going to travel in Japan next year. 😊
You’re going to have so much fun! Japan is awesome 😊
Lots of love from India🇮🇳
The movie was so great that i was moved by it!!😃
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻
Wow. Once again Yo0ur video ends and I find myself smiling and wishing I were there! Enjoy my friends. I'm going out to buy some sake. 😘
Hope you got some nice sake! Can't wait to share tomorrow's video.. one of our favourite places in Japan so far.
@@FloraandNote In fact I did. I went to a fusion Restaurant, Japanese and Italian and go there early and sat at the bar waiting for my friend. As it happens the new bar tender was getting a class by the local distributor all about sake. So I joined in! Perfect timing!
I am enjoying your travels!! I must ask who sings the song you feature on some of your videos? Something like ‘what goes up must come down’. I love that song. I have tried looking for it but cannot find it.
19:41 and also sake is not a shot drink. a sip at a time.
That’s a big hotel room! I miss Japan 😢and the bento box 🥹
The hotel rooms were definitely not this big in the big cities 😜
日本酒はショットではありません。グラスは小さいので勘違いしますがワインの様に味わってお飲みください。すると、今の10倍楽しめると思います。
Thank you for the tip. We will slowly enjoy it next time 😊
dinner with latest canadian-japanese soap-opera was really funny idea😂
Nice video! Thank you for showing us. Could you help me with a question, please? I am trying to register in EX app ahead of my trip to be able to reserve seats as well, but it asks me for my IC number...I was going to get Suica for Apple Wallet... but it doesn't show the full number. How did you guys do?
Hi, love your videos very much! Can I ask how many days did you spend in Tokyo? Which area did you live in Tokyo? We are going next month and looking for place to stay. Thanks
We spent a week in Tokyo and stayed near Azabujuban area which is a mix of trendy restaurants and residences.
What's going to be next? Odaiba? Climbing mount Fuji? Hokkaido? Fukuoka? Please...
Sorry, I don't want to be the guy spoiling your clips.... just providing some feedback, insight, that will help you, I hope....
Just think outside the box... off the beaten track.... that's where the value add is...
Hope that helps
We understand where your comments are coming from as you only want to see things that you want to do... but for us (and for some of our audience), it's our first time in Japan so of course we are excited for everything including taking a bullet train. We don't have a producer, scout, editor - we do everything ourselves. You're not spoiling our clips because we'll keep doing what we want to do...you're just coming off as quite rude rather than helpful.
I didn't intent to come across as rude.. . But was hoping my language would be to some extend a "wake up" call. In any case, I just tried to provide to you guys feedback from the audience point of view. And definitely NOT from what I am interested in doing in Japan... please don't forget, you are competing on youtube with dozens of other youtubers that went to japan (before you did).. just Google it... tsukichi market, shibuya, shinjuku, bullet train... it's all have been shown before..... my key message was: try to provide to your audience a unique story, as you did in Thailand... destinations of the beaten track...
you asked me to be "helpful"?... well as I am "just" an audience member, from my perspective....
1. When it comes down to UNIQUE Japan content, try to look at and get in touch with Chris Broad's (channel) "abroad on Japan"...
2. If you would like to bring your channel to a more professional level, scout etc., please look at and get in touch with Will Sonbuchner, alias, Sonny Side's "best ever food review show"...
Both youtubers went through the same development stage, as you guys are in right now.... From my perspective, that of a humble viewer...
Hope that was helpful...
I’m travelling to Japan for the very first time next month woohoo.. Good to watch what’s there to do and eat with reviews from you both😅
I’ll be going to Osaka - Nara - Kyoto - Nagoya - Lotte Arai Resort - Nozawaosen - Tokyo for one whole month. Spending mostly 3-4 nights each place. Hope that’s enough😂
Thankfully Japan is one of the few countries of the world that is so organised, you don't need to overly plan yourself. With my family being Australian-Japanese, we're back and forward and I have 25 trips to Japan where I've been able to experience what to do and what not to do.
Lately, I've found best way is to have a list of where you would like to go and move with weather. But this comes with experience.
I'd say Japan will surprise everyone. It's the small towns off the beaten track that surprise the most.
Although Kyoto is a must see for someone who has never been, sadly for anyone who is frequently in Japan, it's fallen to the bottom of the list due to one issue: over tourism. Kyoto is to Japan is what Venice is to Italy. The first timers go there, the people in the know, go elsewhere.
This video is a good hint... th-cam.com/video/pKBRkT_iB5Y/w-d-xo.html Emma and Sharla immediately rank Kyoto last :(
Every traveller has a difference need and Japanese cities and towns offer different things, to different people. Tokyo in my opinion is a must, because it offers so much to everyone and is large enough that even doubling tourists don't impact it. Tokyo could take up 5 days alone.
But most other locations in Japan, you would be overstaying if you stayed for 3-4 nights in each place, unless you were using it as a Shinkansen hopping spot.
An example is, I stayed in Morioka for 7 nights earlier this year. Morioka itself isn't worth that many nights, but as a Shinkansen base I was able to visit Akita, Kakunodate, Aomori, Hakodate and Hirosaki so easily. Iwate offers so much that a week in the north of Japan isn't enough.
Nagoya is a great spot for going elsewhere. Aichi is a great prefecture, but 3-4 nights for Nagoya alone isn't worth it.
Hiroshima has had a lot of updates lately to the station and facilities. It used to be a location I would say 2 nights if sufficient, but I would say 3 nights in Hiroshima.
Osaka is great for food and a base for other places like Koya-san and Himeji.
Nozawaonsen....., great for skiing and onsens..... but best time is certainly January/Feb.... there are a lot of other places in Nagano prefecture worth your time (and so easy to use somewhere like Nagano as a base instead of being stuck in Nozawaonsen - albeit it's a quaint/nice town..... during winter).
You're missing a LOT of places from your list though.
As an example, a couple of weeks back I spent a week going all the way from Hakodate to Nagasaki. One month, you can cover so much distance. Do NOT ignore Kyushu or Hokkaido. They're amazing in their own right. Shikoku also needs a look in, but is best done by car. Whereas everywhere else in Japan, train is king.
Be warned that travel by car/bus is significnatly slower in Japan than other countries whereas train traval is significantly faster, more frequent and more reliable. Avoid buses unless there are no other options.
That sounds like an awesome plan! We still have a few videos to come so maybe we'll give you some more ideas for what to do in Japan :)

Great video, did you book earlier or online for the bus to takayama?
Thanks! I booked the bus tickets online two days ahead of time. But a lot of people just show up and get tickets at the bus station. We just wanted to be safe!
Did u guys go to Osaka? Can’t wait to see the rest of the trip!
Yes, we'll be going to Osaka after a few more stops.
I loved taking the Shinkansen, such a cool experience. I love Japan how clean everything is! Note wanting the second shot 😂😂😂
Have a great time in the most amazing country in the world.not all but at least 4 me.😂😂😂.
Hi , love the video ,question where did you guys buy bus ticket in advance ? Is it online or Tokyo station ? Thanks .
We bought them online and we've put the link in the description box :)
Thank you
I, for one, am grateful you guys showed us the beef at the end 😅
We went for the budget beef and was already impressed by the taste and marbling 😮
🎃🍁🍂👍 beef look yummy 😋
Reason you don't feel the bullet train turn at fast speed is because one rail is higher than the other at turn points like a roller coaster ride. The hotel in Nagoya is cool for alcholics 😁
Party in the elevator after 2 shots of Sake🎉😅 Excellent idea getting the back seat to get that empty space for your luggage.
Hello what camera are you using for vlogging/footage? thanks :)
We use the Fujifilm X-S20 😊
I think Note is trying to get Flora drunk...?😁
Haha but who can hold their alcohol better?
Another great piece with some fabulous ideas ( booking the rear seats on the train👍) from the Best Couple in TH-cam Land (imho🙏🙏 plus Flora is 🇨🇦😉) and it’s always true that no matter how hard we prepare there is always a seemingly better deal after we selected 🤦♂️😉🤣 keep them coming a remember to Slam the 👍 and to Subscribe 🙏🙏
Thanks Billy! Good thing those premium bento boxes were delicious so no regrets! But next time, we may go a little cheaper haha
@@FloraandNote I keep saying that I’ll make that trip over to Japan but I’m kinda afraid of that Godzilla and his inability to not crush buildings 😉🤣

Just checking which period/ month was this video series shot. See flora & note T short & short. Was it still hot in Nov23. Thanks
We filmed this series in October 2023 😊
Hi, may I ask how to book the bus ticket from Nagoya station to Takayama? As it is cheaper rather than taking the train. Thanks
I’ve linked the bus ticket website in our video description. You can also purchase the ticket directly at Nagoya Station’s Bus Stop.
I tried to create an account with SmartEX app from the US but it won't accept my credit cards. Did you have to wait until arriving in Japan to set up the account?
We registered when we were in Japan. I also had trouble with my Visa but Mastercard and AMEX worked for us. I think it may have to do with the 3D Secure feature on the card.
MAM,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.KINDLY DONN'T TAKE IT HEART,IF I SAID SOMETHING WRONG.
If you have a Japan Rail pass, you simply reserve seats and pick up tickets from any of the electronic ticket machines. The specific ones are obvious as they have "Japan Rail Pass" at the bottom and have 8 languages. It's fast and easy. The pass becomes extremely useful when navigating Japan because if you're going between towns as efficiently as possible over an extended period, it's not unusual to take many Shinkaksens. For a 3 week period for example, getting 10-20 Shinkansens is not unheard of and reserving tickets on the machine takes far less time than using the websites to book.
Sadly JR has used Japan Rail usage data in the past couple of years to change pricing to be roughly what most people use rather than have it as a way to encourage tourism. The price increase is the same as the combined inflation rate Japan has experienced from 1977 to 2023 (so it's a cash grab and makes the convenience of the JR pass no longer worth it).
One thing to note is that highways in Japan have extremely low (safe) speeds set. For this reason, bus travel in Japan is very, very slow compared to trains which are able to run at significantly higher speeds. Shinkansens for comparison are almost 4 times the speed of a bus at maximum highway speeds.
The train from Nagoya to Takayama for example (despite not being a Shinkansen), is about 50% faster than a bus. So I would highly recommend always taking train over bus where practical. It saves at least an hour.
Motion sickness.... really !!! Lol. Never felt that what so ever. Enjoy the rest of your travels
とても気持ちの良いレポートです。ふたりの雰囲気もとてもいい。「日本酒」の器は小さいですが、「ショットグラス」ではない。ひとくちで飲むと酔ってしまいます。日本人は、少しずつを口に入れて味わいます。
If I had 1 yen every time the Tōkaido Shinkansen was called the fastest bullet train in Japan, I’d have enough for a month long vacation to the country
…which is hilarious for the amount of people getting it wrong
Love from India 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Your Trip in Japan is one of my most favorite country besides Thailand.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sake shots are dangerous🍶
If you haven't had a bento-box lunch on the Shinkansen, you haven't been to Japan.

Unfortunately, the plastic bags on the bus are vomit bags.
Japanese people may not be concerned about the fact that they are transparent and can see what's inside.
I didn't realize it until you mentioned it.
I doubt many people have to use it anyways since the drivers are so professional. The ride was so smooth 👍
People with the JR pass can skip the office lineups and use the machines to book tickets.
your eyes are going to burn when you go inside the old houses at shirakawago from all the smoke. Bring some eye drops
Haha good thing I always bring eye drops with me 😄
220km/h and even 275km/h (what you said was the top speed of your train) is not that fast for a high speed train.
Some in Japan go up to 320km/h and most in China go up to 300km/h with a few going up to 350km/h.
Dude! Nooooooooo!
Don't drink Sake like you're using a shot glass. Next time you have a chance, try drinking it little by little as if you were tasting Sake.
Seriously? Disappointing... Don't get me wrong, I really like you guys. But the last 2 clips from Jspan can't be more mainstream tourist trail ever... nothing special.... there dozens of shinkansen clips on TH-cam.
Get a new japan scout / producer.... because thus is just brand....
I loved your Thailand content. That was very creative, unique and provided a serious value add....
As opposed to your recent clips.... you can do better....
一般の日本人からすると、刺青が見えるのは気持ちの良いものでは有りませんよ！
そう言うお国柄も分かった上で、楽しんで欲しいですね！
It’s all been done before. Getting kinda boring
Wasn’t for us. It was our first time
I’ve always wanted to go to Japan, but I would not go when half of the people are wearing masks.
Interesting 🤔 what’s wrong with people having a preference to wear masks or not?
You can’t see them. Same reason I wouldn’t visit a country where everyone covers their face in public.
