    I like how cheerful the lady in the background was telling about the Shinano river. And even put on her best effort to translate it for those foreigners who may have been there with you.

    The food was clearly carefully prepared and enjoyed. I wouldn't have guessed that it was Italian but it is very interesting to see how Japanese chefs interpret Italian cooking.

    You have such interesting trains in Japan. Are there many Restaurant Trains? The food as always looked scrumptious. I guess that leaf counts as one week's salad. Ha. Always enjoy your amusing comments.

    I love how Solo Travel-San's first thought with the gift was if it were Curry.
    Miso is not far off, but I love that he doesnt know what to do with it, even thinking about his Non-existent wife.

    Thank you for this wonderful video. Thank you for letting us join you on this experience. The only train experience I have had is the Grand Trunk Railroad. A nearly local band got it's name from it. Grand Funk Railroad played starting in 1969.
    When I was young my Dad & Mom put my sister & I on the train then picked us up on the next stop. My Dad thought it was important since the railroad company was planning on closing it down the next month. The Royal Oak station was later sold & bulldozed. It was a beautiful train station.
    The food looks great. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Another excellent adventure STJ-san. Food look delicious, the scenery was pretty with all the Sakura trees and not forgetting the slightly smoking volcano!! The train too was nicely refurbished and I love the fact that Japanese trains seem to have a "face" which give them all their own character. Looking forward to the next trip, thanks for taking me along with you. Arigato!!

    I wish other countries from the west would use Japan as a good example of how society could be. Japan always puts much effort into details and keep so clean and your crime and homeless rates are very low. In Canada and America no one cares about anything anymore especially during work everyone just does the minimum and expects tips for poor service to & there is to much crime you could never have a shop that uses Honor system like Japan can, I hope one day that changes. I feel like living in japan is like living in the future yet your culture doesn’t forget to Honor it’s past,which I feel is important to keep a connection with.
