Japan is the Kingdom of Train Lovers.... Have a nice day 🍒🍒🍒
It is. Thank you!
Excellent video and fun train. So would like to visit Japan. Food, trains, vending machines. It has it all.
Thank you! It really does … I want to go back. ☺️
what a great video
Thanks so much!
Thanx for a great video! Brings back many happy memories
Great to hear - thanks!
Adam, great to see another fantastic video from Japan, the land of supreme trains. Thank you.
Thank you! Yes, Japan makes any train enthusiast happy. ☺️
Hello Adam. Glad to see you again. Thank you for yet another brilliant video. I enjoyed it very much. As I've said to you before, you're an amazing filmographer. Thank you for the time (and money) you spend to bring us these excellent videos. Cheers.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for your kind comments. Cheers!
Really looking forward to the next one Adam 👍🏻👍🏻. This was a great insight into train travel in Japan. Your Spacia X bento box looked cute ☺️
Great to hear. Someone else told me that bento box was aimed to children … which makes sense in hindsight. 😂😂😂
@@FromtheWindowSeat As Tom Baker said in his first Doctor Who story, Robot - what’s the point of being an adult if you can’t be like a child every so often.
Okay I changed it slightly, but I still think it’s on point. 😉
@@iTalkAU 💯 🙌
I would make a beeline to the wine bar. Great video!
Definitely. Cheers!
Hello Mr. Window Seat
It's always nice to see your videos
Love everything about Japan
Visited twice in last 7 months and going again
Cheers
Btw our New Zealand trip is still pending 😊
Hello! Twice in seven months?! Wow - I’m jealous. Very keen to return! 😃
@@FromtheWindowSeat good to see you again
Love your heavy Aussie (if I may say so) accent 😊
Another great one Adam,thoroughly enjoy your videos. 😊
Thanks so much Leon. 😊
I love how you always try to pronounce the local language properly. The attempt is a sure sign of respect. Great vid. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you!
(Attempt being the operative word 😝)
@@FromtheWindowSeat I'm Maori and I'm always impressed by your pronunciation of Te Reo. You get it perfect more than you get it wrong.
@@deelightfool Happy to hear that. ☺️
I would love to go to Japan in a coming year and I have heard it is a must visit. Thanks for sharing this luxury train journey, I greatly enjoyed it 😊
Yes, you won’t regret it. Loved Japan so much that I want to go back. ☺️
Great video❤
Thank you!! ☺️
oohhh nicee Dear
Thanks!
thanks Adam, that train looks enjoyable... although i think you are braver than i, trying a Bento Box , without an English translation on it !😂
Yes, very enjoyable.
Sometimes not knowing the contents, is the best way! 😜 I was really impressed by the food in Japan … liked almost everything I ate. 😋
Nice one - thanks.
You’re welcome. ☺️
Nice drink bottle great Southern from you trip to Brisbane
Yes, it’s going global. 😂
A nice and informative video, great to see something new every time. Cheers my fellow Rail TH-camr👍

☺️✌️
21:57 The origin of the 🙉🙊🙈 emojis!!!
Well spotted sir! 💯
Wow this is kool
It is 😎
relaxing and nice video :D
Glad you enjoyed it. 🙏
Great video. Like me ! ! !
Thank you! ☺️
I look forward to your Japan series!
You may already know, but the Spacia X bento box is mainly targeted towards kids, and thus adults may feel that the portions/flavoring/ingredients are a little lacking.
I did not know that … but it makes sense now you say it. 😂😂
First again
🥳
Great video. I didn't quite get whether thr prices where skngle or return but they seem reasonable either way.
Thanks! The fares shown on screen were one way but if you have a Nikkō Pass, it includes the return basic fare (but you still have to purchase a limited express ticket each way on top).
Lovely. isn't the tallest building in an Arabic country?
Yes, you’re talking about the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. That’s the tallest structure whereas this is the tallest ‘tower’ (different definition apparently … at least, that’s what the internet told me 😂).
15:16 I hope that is reusable, if not so much plastic trash
I think the idea is to keep it as a souvenir / reusable lunchbox.
