    Japan Shinkansen Tokyo To Osaka & Kyoto ULTIMATE Guide | ESSENTIAL Tips For First-Timers 2024
    Traveling around Japan by train is one of the most exciting experiences during your adventure here! From riding the clean and quiet local trains, to experiencing the sleek and impressive shinkansen, or bullet trains, at break-neck speeds, some of the best memories people have are from riding the country's amazing transportation systems. However, before you can experience the wonders that are Japan's shinkansen, you have to understand how to navigate them first - which can admittedly be quite the challenge! And with the JR Pass being no longer affordable, you are faced with an even bigger hurdle of how to get around without the once useful pass! However, by the end of this video, you will fully understand how to book your own shinkansen tickets, know which seats to pick, learn the best shinkansen types to use between Japan's golden triangle, and many more essential tips! So, without further delay, it’s time to master Japan's Bullet Train System!

    Such a cool channel. I was so close to visiting Japan one point myself. I had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit Asia...🙁

    When I booked my return trip from Osaka back to Tokyo, I somehow managed to buy our tickets at the kiosk without the base fare. Good thing we went to the gate early, and got redirected to the agent to add the base fare, else we would've missed our train.

    Excellent summary Alex and Matilda, I think now I'd like to try the green car , I didn't know you get more space 😮 as for the speeds they must vary between trains ? Can I see better if I take the non Nozomi ? Sort of like what they call a scenic route, I haven't been on Shinkansen much , a few times

    • @niksn022
      @niksn022 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      From what I've read, Nozomi is the fastest, Hikari comes second and Kodama is the slowest (has the most stops on the way). Not sure if you get more time to see other things than train stations though.

    i think would be good to mention the process on getting the actual ticket which is different than the reserve, and that u have to pay an extra fee for getting the real ticket.

  • @AP-hn8wd
    @AP-hn8wd หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just an FYI - Nozomi and Hikari trains are generally not different. They use the same train class (N700). Just think of the Nozomi as a Limited Express (fewer stops than Hikari) over regular trains on three citywide train system.

    great video :) thank you. I was in Japan last year on business trip where our host from Japan have bought tickets for us. Every time he booked Green Car for us but without luggage reservation. We had oversized luggage with us in the space between seats. Cars were pretty empty so I guess it was not needed to reserve dedicated seats. Now, I'm travelling with the family and we will take a train to Kyoto (Nozomi). Do I need to reserve oversized seats for green cars?

    @Peso255 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Actually, all Shinkansen riding on the golden triangle route (Tokaido Shinkansen) have already ended all onboard sales, with the exception of Green Car passengers riding on the Nozomi or Hikari, which can use the mobile order service to buy F&B on-demand. Just another perk for getting Green Car tickets I guess.

    Is it possible to buy a Shinkansen unreserved ticket in advance and then reserve seats when you get to the station?

    • @niksn022
      @niksn022 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You'd have to buy a new ticket at the station in that case, so you should buy whichever ticket you want one month in advance from jr west, jr east, smart ex or klook. The disadvantage with an unreserved seat ticket is that you're not guaranteed a seat, which could be a problem at very busy times. This shouldn't really be a problem if you line up 30 minutes early but the advantage is that you can just take the next train, something that you can't do with a reserved seat ticket.
