Kuga-san I hope you may consider coming to Cairns and doing the Kuranda rail experience. It’s a short but breathtaking ride up a river and mountainside.
Did you tried Darwin to Adelaide 4 day Ghan train. It was the best. Train goes through middle of the red Simpson desert. Every day after breakfast tour buses pick passengers from train take whole day selected tours. Lunch included. Train travel only on night time. We had a under the full moon stars BBQ with live band and free camel rides. The bus tours included Katrine, Alice Spring, Kakadu and Adelaide opal mine underground town. It was one of best train journey.
Finished watching and makes me thinking of the good old day there @ Australia and Sydney, my second home. 😇😇 Thank you for the nice video and wait for all videos from you. Cheers 👋
My hometown!!! I am in tears remembering every step you shot at Central Station... my life travelling to and from work for most of my life involved Central. We then went to live in Broken Hill for a few years, and have greeted many relatives arriving there via the Indian Pacific. Nothing but good reports from them all. Thanks so much for coming to Australia!
When the Indian Pacific was government owned by Australian National Railways, where my late Father worked, he was involved in a number of initiatives and marketing of this (and other trains). Those locomotives are provided by Pacific National (a freight rail company), which is the privatised National Rail Corporation, that I worked in the establishment, and was partially involved with the acquisition of those locomotives. I have travelled on the train a few times (when govt owned) and in the car type you are in. Previously they actually had a toilet in each of the rooms! In previous times, to get over the mountain out of Sydney the train had to be hauled by electric locomotives from Sydney to Lithgow. One of the criteria of the NR class locomotives was to have the power with out excessive noice to replace the electric locomotives. The reason the ceiling is so high, in its earlier days, your cabin was considered first class, and there was a second class version of this carriage type where two people shared one of those rooms and there was a drop down bed from the ceiling.
For anyone wondering, the price of this train trip is absolutely insane. I don't blame Kuga for not doing the whole thing lol, it's about $2,500 for the entire four-day trip from Sydney to Perth. There's also a 'Platinum' seating option which is almost $9,000.
Yea but that usually includes meals too same with the Ghan .. (the other long Aussie train trip) mind you some of his countries shinkensen long trips can be pricey esp for premium rooms saw one up to 7 grand 😮
Yeah it is pricey, but I was able to find a platinum booking for December 2024 for $6240 pp. I still wouldnt do it at that price. Its not $9k but yeah its up there. For even $5k I can get to Japan (from Australia) and have a blast for a week, with a return business class flight too I might add. Doing cheap flights and budget accommodation you could do two weeks for $5k easy. I wouldnt be stuck on a train for days on end with nothing to do, and paying $6k to do so.
@@rachaelk7866the 7 stars over Kyushu can cost up to 1.5 million yen (~A$17,000) for a single traveller using a suite for a 3-day/2-night trip, and a 4-day/3-night trip starts at 1.7 million yen (A$19,300) and goes up to 2.4 million yen (A$27,300). And despite that, you can't even apply to ride on it before March 2024.
Great that you have been able to avail yourself of our rail journies here in Oz. Not quite the standard you have in Japan but they work for us in this vast open land. Look forward to your Ghan experience it is like no other. Welcome to Australias Outback. Bushyboy Oz.
I traveled all over Australia by train for entire month of May 1987. I got a 1 Month 1st class rail pass & just paid $33/night for roomettes. The 1st train was Sydney-Alice Springs & I booked the Deluxe compartment. Including air fare to/from Vancouver & occasional B&Bs my total for trip was only $4,500. Of course that was 36 yrs ago. I am a "Train-a-holic" have traveled over 250,000 km since 1955 mostly on "The Canadian" (51x) plus UK when British Rail still existed as well as PanAm in 1990. I have thus been to all 3 Perths in the World (there is one in Ontario,Canada.)
Hi Kuga-san. Really enjoyed following your videos about train journeys in Japan, Europe, and now in my home country of Australia. I got lots of inspiration of trains to ride from your videos! I hope you enjoyed visiting my home city of Adelaide and Australia generally! I have travelled the Indian Pacific, overland, great southern and the Ghan. All are great experiences, albeit very expensive. Looking forward to your Ghan video soon!
And the tea, Pickwick, excellent catch. I always love it when I see our brands in videos from around the world, I frequently see Zaanse mayonnaise in a Korean vlogger’s video.
Welcome to Oz! Ive been following your videos for awhile now since I love Japan and I enjoyed every bit of it. Good to see your face now, no longer shy 😄. Im gonna try the Oz train in the future, looks fun!
I am doing this trip in two weeks! Last time I was on the Indian Pacific was in 1973 - 50 years ago. Back then they had an economy class - you sat the whole trip. I will be in the Gold Twin this time. Thank you for your video.
When you say economy class are you talking about the sitting class cars? It was my late father’s initiative to put the sitting cars on the Adelaide-Sydney part of the Indian Pacific and they were very popular with the younger travellers.
Well Done! I always enjoy your videos. Look forward to them. No dialogue, just simple subtitles. Refreshing. Cheers brother, Stay Strong, and keep ‘em coming. Ya gotta a fan here.
Thanks for this very informative video :-D My brother worked on the Indian Pacific from Sydney to Adelaide many years ago but I have never travelled on it.
What the heck, I was there that day taking a photo of the train at Central thinking “I feel like Kuga I’m a train enthusiast now”. But I didn’t think he was actually there???
This is uncanny, I was only thinking yesterday whether kuga would get round to travelling on one of the big luxury rail liners, like the Ghan, the Indian Pacific or the Rovos Rail. Made up to see this video land. 👏
I travelled the return journey (Adelaide to Sydney) the week before you did Kuga, and like you, I felt the train lacked quiet spaces (other than your room) where you could relax - the lounge and dining cars were far too noisy for my liking. I'm not a fan of the tours either - but I see their purpose when you're onboard such a long time - I opted out of mine and enjoyed a longer train ride into Sydney with a quiet lounge car! Hope you enjoyed your stay in our country! I look forward to travelling to Japan sometime next year!

Well Kuga-san, you made me add another train trip to my bucket list😅 I am going to have to live another one hundred years to travel these great routes😂😂😂 It's good to see you too Kuga-san ✌️😃 Thank you 🙏🍻
I think this is the first video where I've finally seen your face. Nice to meet you! Also, since I"m in USA, and more specifially AZ, it's weird to think it's cold in Austrailia now. I've heard stories only about the heat! Stay bundled. Looking forward to your next trip! :)
Sadly things like this aren't acceptable to us train lovers who can barely sustain our existence. I hate that society acts like only people with disposable income should be allowed to enjoy things like this.
Hi ya Kuga. I thoroughly enjoyed your narrative about the train, food, sights and cabin... i like your honesty and especially that you seem to love everything Australian, like the kangaroo meat, and aussie icecream. the meals looked incredible and yum. lol ive subscribed and look forward to watching more of your travels
What a beautiful and amazing train. The locomotive must be very powerful to be able to pull so many cars! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to your ride on The Ghan.
@Helene L outside of some special tracks in NSW for coal haulage, and the mining trains in the Pilbara (WA) I believe they are still the most powerful diesel electric locomotives in Australia
I did the Ghan back in October 2021 from Alice Springs to Darwin, yes it's not cheap but it's an amazing experience. Also in Gold Single so I remember those cabins, the service and food are amazing. That long freight train is quite likely longer than the Indian Pacific, the interstate freight trains can be nearly 2km long!
Superb insight and so well out together - I really enjoy your style. Well done ! Looking forward the Ghan and beyond. Stay safe and happy. Hello from London : - )
Welcome to Australia. I have watched a lot of your Japan travel vlogs so it's really nice to have you here in my beautiful country. If you ever decide to travel on the Overlander you would go through my town of Horsham. Hope you had an amazing stay in Australia.
What a train ride that was! It really is the most luxurious sleeper train! I would love to go on it one day✨ アデレードにいらしてたんですね。アデレードって知らない方多いので取り上げて頂いて嬉しいです。GHANの動画も楽しみにしています♪
Loved the video. I know budget was a consideration, and I think the train is over priced, but the better part of the trip is from Adelaide to Perth. You see the true outback, and the red earth.
Thanks for visiting my hometown of Sydney and traveling on one of the few "luxury" sleeper trains that we have left. I'm sure it must have seemed very noisy and slow, compared to the Shinkansens that you're used to. I'll be spending sometime in Fukushima-shi soon, so I'm looking forward to the beautiful train journey to and from Tokyo.
Thank you for another wonderful video! Very enjoyable! I can honestly say that I've never seen skies like what you showed - just gorgeous. Can't wait for your next journey!
What the heck?! Kuga-san you came to visit and didn't let us know?? We would have had a BBQ and invited some koalas and kangaroos and platypus for you to pat! As long as you didn't go on the XPT...that's a source of shame here. 🤦🏼♂️
@@trishtimu1464 it Meant eXpress Passenger Train 40 years ago when it was launched and has never been upgraded, it's the only regional rail service in New South Wales
As for the XPT, it’s obviously overdue for replacement, but it’s lovely to leave Sydney in the evening and arrive in the centre of Melbourne earlier than the first plane and Skybus does (well, if it’s on time, lol). Sadly, I heard the ‘new’ XPT may lose the sleeper compartments. Hopefully we get the super reclining seats like the Queensland premium trains.
Thank you for the video glad you enjoyed the trip. Also appreciate that we could see how the trip on this train is like, we personally would not get on it because all the food is not that appetising to me, but keep up with the good work. Arigado
I did the same journey in reverse in December 2011 ! looks much the same - the cost then was 732 AUD! But I had to share my dining table - it was a couple, photographing their food BEFORE that became fashionable ! Nice to see you at last at 22:51 🙂
Beautiful video - everytime we want to go our journey to Perth - we cannot make it because of medical reasons - but this video has really made my day thank you
Br. Meast, too funny lol. I hope you can find a kangaroo. When I was there for two weeks, the only kangaroo I saw was on the way back to the airport to go back to the US; My hosts did take me to an animal sanctuary and I got to interact with them but it wasn't quite the same. I hope you continue to have a great visit there. Wonderful video!
I note from the menu that Australians, rightly, use the term "entrée" for the first course of the meal not incorrectly, as in the USA, for the main course.
Good travel video Kuga! I first enjoyed Australian Railways vid. With captions I enjoyed the background sound and atmosphere. So were you at the side of enjoying communications at the dining car or the side of those not (LoL)
26 coaches each 22.92 m in length (well, some a bit longer) - that's altogether about 600 m, or about the length of three standard European high-speed trains, or the length of a coupled 16-car F set and an 8-car S set N700A series Shinkansen train.
Broken Hill to this day still has a very strong link to South Australia, in fact you could say apart from being over the border and governed by New South Whales they are South Australian. Most Federal Government departments and agencies will administer anything for Broken Hill out of Adelaide, the majority of their health services that need to be accessed at a major hospital are taken care of by SA, when the Royal Flying Doctor transports a patient to a major hospital they are taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital. There has been many a thought about redrawing the border however it will never happen due to taxes and royalties NSW gets from mining. Adelaide is the home of Journey Beyond Rail and all their trains start or terminate here, the Indian Pacific is actually 2 trips but most see it as one as it is sold as one for the most part.

To me it seems the biggest difference between these and the Japanese trains is the NOISE. Every car, there were people chattering, or music, or both.
Aussie people love to talk as much as Americans do, it seems.
Just seems like a cultural difference, Japanese tend to be more reserved and introverted
That struck me too. It would drive me up the wall!

How exciting though the price for this trip absolutely crazy!!! I think this trip is one for the books.
Beautiful video - everytime we want to go our journey to Perth - we cannot make it because of medical reasons - but this video has really made my day thank you
Thank you. That was fun.
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for taking us along. Kuga smile please.
Very nice video. Thank you so much. 🥰🥰
nice job Kuga. Thanks
So nice to see you 😊
Br. Meast, too funny lol. I hope you can find a kangaroo. When I was there for two weeks, the only kangaroo I saw was on the way back to the airport to go back to the US; My hosts did take me to an animal sanctuary and I got to interact with them but it wasn't quite the same. I hope you continue to have a great visit there. Wonderful video!
I note from the menu that Australians, rightly, use the term "entrée" for the first course of the meal not incorrectly, as in the USA, for the main course.
The silence on that last main meal (which looked like tinned dog food) was deafening lol. At least the ice cream was better.
Dingo Delight! LOL What was that, Mad Max?
great video
"Seats are shared so if you like communication...it's heaven...if not, you dead" 🤣🤣🤣 #gold
Good travel video Kuga! I first enjoyed Australian Railways vid. With captions I enjoyed the background sound and atmosphere.
So were you at the side of enjoying communications at the dining car or the side of those not (LoL)
How exciting that you are in Australia I hope you enjoy
When you ride train like this, is not about cutting time or bang on the bucks, but experiences.
26 coaches each 22.92 m in length (well, some a bit longer) - that's altogether about 600 m, or about the length of three standard European high-speed trains, or the length of a coupled 16-car F set and an 8-car S set N700A series Shinkansen train.
Broken Hill to this day still has a very strong link to South Australia, in fact you could say apart from being over the border and governed by New South Whales they are South Australian. Most Federal Government departments and agencies will administer anything for Broken Hill out of Adelaide, the majority of their health services that need to be accessed at a major hospital are taken care of by SA, when the Royal Flying Doctor transports a patient to a major hospital they are taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital. There has been many a thought about redrawing the border however it will never happen due to taxes and royalties NSW gets from mining.
Adelaide is the home of Journey Beyond Rail and all their trains start or terminate here, the Indian Pacific is actually 2 trips but most see it as one as it is sold as one for the most part.
