I'm 70. I'm unlikely to visit your country before I depart. I wish with all my heart I could visit and take just one train ride. Your videos have sustained me and entertained me. Much thanks.
Да поезд и поезд....лучше поле лес река ....
You wont want to take just 1 train. Japanese trains are addicting
u will sir i wish ~
I'm 62. I've never been to Japan ($$$$$ I thought) but the more of Solo Solo's videos I watch, the more I think I should go, especially now that he's shown us the capsule hotels and how clean and quiet they are. That makes accomodations affordable enough I could go, and spend a week taking train and ferry rides. Never say never! 🥰
Go! 70 is the new 50! Go!
It ain’t over till it’s over sir❤
Live and enjoy yourself 🙌🏽
It was almost scary how clean everything was in Japan when I visited for the second time back in 2019. I took a taxi twice with my Japanese uncle from the train station and both times the driver did a quick run with a lint roller over the seats and carpet before we got in. It was insane how dedicated everyone was to cleanliness even just walking down the street.
It's not like Paris that is fast becoming an open air dump even worse than London
I know right! It's cause they care about their surroundings and respect the things that have been provided for them and as such are willing to pay someone to look after and clean things although i imaging that a street cleaner in Tokyo has a far easier job than one in say London.
On that note I actually witnessed someone in London come out of a restaurant to empty their bin as the street cleaner was clearing up rubbish in the alley. They just tipped their small bin into the larger outdoor bin spilling rubbish on the floor as they did. They just left it and walked back inside!!!
As it should be everywhere.
That is good to know. I haven't been in almost 20 years and it was immaculate then. Glad their standards never dropped
@@shyman9023 The bunch of trash in the uk and us appear to be domestic.
- vending machine
- fancy train
- no shoes
yup, definitely the most Japanese train I've ever seen. Definitely a nice alternative if you wanna explore the other cool trains of the country. Japanese railways are more than just the Shinkansen
Anime cats tho?
and NOBODY!
Why do I see you on so many videos?
Please save Buddhists
Ah, there you are.
What amazes me the cleanliness of the surroundings, no litter, no defacing the walls!
Japanese public transportation never fails to amaze me.
Btw I laugh everytime you mentioned that kind of toilet is B-tier, because I'm certainly sure that you don't want to know the public toilet condition in my country. 😆
You south Asian?
Heck u should see condition of toilets/floors in restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations; any place there is a public restroom in usa. Terrible! 😷🤢
I'm in america and its bio-hazard tier lol
@@neffyg35 Used syringes on the side?
@@sjv9147s if it goes through Kensington in Philadelphia lol
The Hinotori trains debuted two years ago. From everything I've heard, they've been well received. Looking forward to traveling on one myself when Japan reopens to international tourism.
They work on a well known concept: When the journey time is under a certain amount between to cities, the time you save by using the fast train is often not worth it, when the other train can give you a better or similar comfort for the same price (or cheaper). For example: I would never use a fast train between Hamburg and Kiel or Munich and Salzburg. The time you save would also only be about 10-15 minutes and the comfort of modern regional trains is high enough to accept a 1-2h journey in them. From Salzburg to Vienna you also often not use the "Railjet" but the rival "Westbahn" because the travel time is nearly the same but the Westbahn is cheaper.
Of course when you on the other hand want to go from Nagoya to Tokyo, using the Chuo line limited express trains is not an option - it would take 6h, instead of 2 with the Shinkansen. Also the same when you would use local trains on the Tokaido line. But in the case of Kintetsu railway it works - and that mostly because JNR when they decided on how to get from Nagoya to Osaka used the Gifu - Maibara - Kyoto corridor instead of the Nara one, which the Hinotori is using - the distance via Maibara is longer. (I of course understand, why the JNR in the 1960s decided to connect Kyoto too on the Shinkansen, as it's a major tourist hotspot)
nope, fast all the time for me even if its only 2 mins its worth it. My lifes too short to sit around looking at a seat eating crappy vending machine food. Shinkansen.

@@seekhimwithallyourheartand3358 WTAF?! Nut job - this a video about trains go preach your stuff elsewhere
Fabulous images ..the thumbnail is reminiscent of a remake of Anna Karenina:) keep posting fabulous train videos I'm obsessed. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
I lived in Japan for a year back in the ‘80s. The trains were very good then and always, always right on time. If the departure time was 8.30 then exactly on 8.30 the train would depart. Thank you for your videos, they take me back to happy memories of living in Japan.
Most of the world is amazed by Swiss trains, while the Swiss admire Japanese trains. Awesome train!
I love your subtle humour when explain something.
And love your content. I will visit Japan with working visa in near future, so video like this really help.
Japanese trains make trains in the U.K look like something from the ‘dark ages’. I am so envious of you. Train travelling in Japan is truly an incredible experience. By the way it is good to see well manicured hands too!
Lmao search Ukrainian, Hungarian or Romanian trains. You will immediately feel so much better about UK’s trains.
@@harryisakitten7347 Where I live, we don’t even have trains!😿
Yes, I can just imagine that train on a football trip. It would be a right off. That's why you will probably never see such a train in the UK. Sad but probably true. Interesting that you need instructions on how to take a dump!!
at least you have trains! here in the us there’s none, unless you live in a city like new york. it’s hard to find good public transportation here.
@@ahoee where in the US do you live? There are trains everywhere!
Of the many things I love about Japan it's their culture of cleanliness which I admire the most. Even in Japan Town in San Francisco (USA), the tiny neighborhood is very clean while the other neighborhoods next to them live like pigs. It's impressive.
San Francisco likes it’s loony people
I wish we had trains like this all over Canada! 😭
I appreciate the humor, how down to Earth you are. Also, thank you for showing the disability friendly seats and restroom, that means a lot to me. I have extensive chronic health conditions and an “invisible” disability, and while most days I can function like any other human, some days I need mobility assistance tools like a cane and braces. I’ve wanted to travel to Japan since I was a kid, but as an adult I constantly worry about if I would be able to find the accommodation I need. Even the few second clips reassure me that Japan is much kinder than the US about it. Thank you!
Japan offers quite a lot more than the US in the case of disability. I wish we had more accessible bathrooms, toilets and showers. The bidet feature, and sitting showers seem like such an obvious thing to put into a bathroom, but are totally absent unless you specifically seek out such features. Basic toilets and standing showers with no handhold bars or soap shelves seems to be the norm.

Indeed, America stinks, especially when it comes to those with invisible (not easily noticeable) disabilities.
@@mrmaniac3 And also making cities less car dependent means that older, younger and disabled people can still retain their independence without having to be chauffeured around
@@coastaku1954 Yessss man I wish I could move around on my own
You had dirt. You had grass. Maybe try to find something that tastes like a rock next.
Great video, as always.
❤️ from 🇺🇸
🤣😍
Not only do I appreciate videos so I can kind of have a real experience on your trips, I REALLY appreciate that you put the money conversion in there! I don't have to research the amount or try to guess. You pretty much answer my questions without me ever having to ask once. I spent 2 weeks in Japan about 20yrs ago and besides feeling like Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 2 I felt right at home. Everyone there were more friendly than the people in my own country. Thank you.
What a great deal for $40! I would be riding these things all day. 👌
This is a wonderful train with details for the comfort of the passengers, no matter what class tickets you bought. The cup holder can accommodate round and square bottles, typical of Japanese attention to details.
like how of the whole video,you gave that little detail attention? You must love the Japanese as much as I do...
It is impossible for a public area to be so clean outside of Disney World!!! This can't be real! 😶
Seat shell....I like this kind of seats because it wont bother the person behind.
As always love your travel videos and humour. お疲れ様です。
I'm going to take this train to Nagoya when I return to Osaka.
It's not often I genuinely LOL, but telling the sink to calm down was precious. This is the Japan I've always wanted to visit, even if I'm 9,000 kilometers away. Thank you!
I Never thought I would see my revered Toto toilet seat on a train! Thanks for a pleasant train tour.
Well, there's only one word for this Japanese vending machine train.
INCREDIBLE!!! 😲
I especially liked that it has a good coffee machine. That's really something anywhere in the world, even moreso in a train!
My favorite thing about Japanese vending machines was that you could get both hot and cold drinks from the same machine. Not to mention that Suica/Pasmo was accepted virtually everywhere.
@@TXnine7nine It makes sense to me. Making drinks cold produces heat, which can be used to keep other drink hot.
They need to put vending machines into all the trains! ;) Actually, there are so many in the stations, they're sort of redundant on the train. But I guess if you're in a pinch and didn't have time to stop for something.
Sugoi
You're right, it's an exceptionally beautiful train (...only in Japan 😊).
And yes, the meal at your destination was definitely worth the trip. 👍
I wanted to Swan dive into that meal. 😋
Thank you very much for your video!
The weather looks so good there! I love traveling by trains when you can sit, watch through the window, eat, listen to the wheels. The platform for feet seems to be comfortable because usually here it's tiny and you can only put your toes there.
I'm grateful for this new experience!
And I noticed your channel is growing, my congratulations! You deserve this 🤍
Ah, you beat me to it! Living in central Mie, I see this thing pass by every day. A stunningly beautiful train, in my opinion.
What a beautiful train! That miso-katsu looks amazing!
I'm totally craving miso-katsu now... I think I've still got some miso paste left in the fridge....
Japni people is greet
Have only been to Japan once so far. Loved how everyone and everything seemed so clean, sane and civilized. Now that I am a wandering retiree, and that covid is mostly over, it will happen soon. Of course, at this moment, Japan is having a covid surge, but I have no doubt they will address it properly. I miss Japan ..... next time I will stay the full 90 days that I am allowed VISA free.
I miss Japan, especially the public transportation options. Lived there for 10 years.
For such a price, i am very surprised with the entire experience! It looks amazing, and even if two hours might seem long to some people, it seems super short to me!
Yeah, that time goes by quickly when you're comfortable. I think this train is a great deal.
Well, imagine this: the price is only so high because of the Limited express fee. The normal price of that distance is 2410 Yen, the LE fee is 1930 Yen. The normal train needs 3:50 for the journey (with 30 min of transfer time, so the route itself takes 3:20h), while the LE needs 2:09h.
@@acmenipponair Ah. I suppose it depends on how much time you have to spare. I'd have a hard time justifying almost 4 hours to go 80-ish miles, but two hours is acceptable, even at the price I suppose.
4:52 “Seatseption”
This made my day XD
Fish Chan, you made my day, too:)
This is incredible!!! Japan is truly amazing with their means of transportation. Everything is so clean & convenient! The U.S could never come close.
The US train system is basically dead, they could care less if they are a day late and nobody takes them for anything other than they fancy them.
The pull down shades satisfyingly click shut! They're very stylish. Love it!
I like the imagination of train designers. Trains have a different look and feel: retro, modern, silly and fun. The white train is cool and retro. The Hinotori Express is sleek and modern. Also, Yum.
So clean, so modern. The contactless features like that on the lockers make using them so much easier. I love all the features with the seat and what's more it's all regular class.
Sadly as others have said in the U.K. people wouldn't respect the facilities and within weeks of launching most bits would be wrecked and vandalised. Toilets on U.K. trains are like something out of a HORROR MOVIE!!! 🚽🤢🤮
Your trains spank all/every train I've ever been on and that's saying something. I adore how everything is perfect on the train. If I lived there, I would be on everything moving, traveling around, eating just like you Solo 👍🏼🙏🏼
Solo Travel is actually a bliss. People might call it boring, weird and stuff but its a soul rejuvenator for people like us.
Love such type of videos, great work, keep it up boi. Good to know am not the only one who loves to be on my own. ❤️✨👍🏻
Thank you for taking the time to post this. I am very stressed and upset today due to the new war in the world and watching this video helped cool me down.
I wish we could have nice trains like that in the United States.
U guys had bullet trains in 1994
But those trains were removed
Because they were at loss and public didn't use it so the company went bankrupt and removed bullet trains
That's why America has no more bullet trains now
They wouldn't stay this clean and beautiful for long. I respect Japanese people, they have excellent manners. Most Americans and Europeans do not.
Saw video for 1st time today on your rail travel in Japan. Shirked my whole day's chores & binge watched EVERYTHING afterwards. Great way to chill on blustery/cold morning. Cleaning the baseboards while listening to depressing news can wait until tomorrow. Thank you for your lovely videos.
We miss Japan. Our trip was short the last time. This time we will see the Japanese plum blooming. Also the train system is awesome. Love this video. It brings back fond memories.
Bruhhhh I am so incredibly jealous that THIS is what is offered in Japan
I occasionally have to take a train between cities through Amtrak (a slightly longer distance than the trip in this video). For the same price, you get a much worse experience that's less comfortable and takes significantly longer (5+ hours). But wait, by paying an extra $20 you can upgrade to "Business Class"!!! ...which basically gets you some free snacks and less annoying passengers. And also a "guaranteed seat" because you can't even reserve seats normally, so they overbook constantly and have people standing throughout the aisles. Don't even get me started on the restrooms.... if 12:12 is considered a B-tier toilet, then you certainly wouldn't want to use any of the Amtrak toilets.
The fact that the seats featured in this video are ONLY "regular class" makes me wonder how gorgeous the premium seating must be :)
premium is 2-1 seating
@@hamanakohamaneko7028 as a single traveler I’ll take it :~)
This is why Americans drive everywhere. Faster, cheaper, and much more comfortable.
@@MrJest2 also, more freedom
I think Japan has the cleanest trains in the world and very very modern . The United States has a long way to go to catch up and that’s where I live the United States 🇺🇸 I will definitely ride this train should I get to Japan , hopefully in the near future👍
I was impressed with the beauty
of the train and the very modern bathrooms- we have nothing that clean and classy in America and probably never will .
The scenery was awesome and your dinner meal (?) looked delicious 😋
I got hungry 😋 but had nothing in the house except fruit - I settled for a delicious apple 🍎.
Thank you for sharing another awesome adventure - I look forward to all your videos because they are all excellent and exciting.
Your country and your people are incredibly clean. No lousy graffiti and no darned panhandlers. You should be extremely proud!
Japan always looks amazing. Everything so clean and orderly. Thanks for sharing.
HAHAHAHA YOUR HUMORRR I LOVE IT
I absolutely love, love and love your videos. Your reactions to many things are the best every. The second snack tasted like dirt. Excellent description. And your coffee and tea tasted like grass. You have the best sense of humor. I could watch you channel all day long and never get tired. I think you would make an amazing, fun and caring friend.
I love your commentary and I appreciate how soothing the video is with no talking. Can't wait to see what you do next. Thanks
I’m loving your videos. How can these be so informative and interesting yet, so relaxing? The little light humor is good too. Good job!
I Love your funny comments.😂
I will have to remember that I "rescue" items being held captive in vending machines.😁
The miso katsu looks amazing. So juicy and tender.
Yum!
Great Video 👍.
Thank-you for sharing your travels!
✌❤🤘
I love how relaxing your videos are and also love how your comments are accurate. Thank you for the good content!
Your videos bring me a sense of calm, and at the same time delivered with a touch of clever humor. Thank you. Also that red train in beautiful!
I was cracking up at your subtitles 🤣
Thanks for brightening up my day!
I watch the video fully. Hoping for more videos. See u in the nxt video.
本日、大阪難波から名古屋まで、ひのとりに乗ってきたので、動画を見れて嬉しかったです！
4:47 The seat has its own seat. Seatseption
me: What?!?
If I'm not mistaken, this is the first video of yours and the first Japan train/travel video I watched. Now, I'm hooked...in particular, on your videos. You're hilarious! I watch your videos during lunch or supper and pretend I'm eating whatever it is you're eating... everything except the 🍣. I can't do raw fish.🌸
Some years ago I would never have expected that I would end up watching a Japanese guy riding trains and ferries on a strange foldable device with a keyboard not unlike a typewriter attached to it.
And: This train looks really interesting, clean and modern - I don't understand why it seems almost empty.
Because there are literally no tourists in Japan at the moment, as Japan is only allowing 5000 per day to get into the country. And this Limited Express is mostly for tourists who want to go from Osaka to Nagoya. Normal japanese commuters would use only the Rapid train services, that also run between Osaka and Nagoya, but don't have the LE fee to be payed for.
What is a typewriter? You must have been born a long, long time ago 😉.
@@michaels3003 Well, I grew up in era of great advances in technology. When I was born my Uncle Urgh-Ahmb just had invented the hand axe for example 😂
@Michael S that's nothing. I can still remember stylus and clay tablets when I was a kid. 😆 🤣 😂
Depending on the day and hour is empty. This in not a normal commute train and weekdays are easy to find those trains with few people inside.
I love your subtitles. Please continue!
Yummmm I want some miso katsu too !! Thanks for taking us along on a great train ride ! Looking forward to the next adventure! Stay safe..stay healthy !
that shirt you're wearing at 9:22 looks so cool! also that train is super shiny, i wonder how good the premium seats are seeing how good the ordinary seats look
I am impressed how very clean everything was. Nice trip report, thank you.
This was awesome! So cool and love your sense of humor.Thanks for taking me with you!!!😁
Amazing train, amazing guide. Thank you SoloSolo, as always. Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Funny Roy Rogers. Where is trigger??? 😍
Brilliant video , I love trains but I do love watching you choose food it’s fabulous x
Thank you for sharing. It’s really so educational to see something that I could never actually see in real life. It’s so wonderful to experience this through your eyes. You did an excellent job in showing all the details. Such a great vlog!
Looks like a fun adventure. Nice job.
Oh wow, what a beautiful train! I will most definitely ride that one if I travel between Osaka and Nagoya. Thank you for making such a nice video! I'm still amazed that you blended your tea with hot chocolate. You're a brave man hehe ^_^
Thank you for the video❤️🥰
Thanks for sharing your experience with this train!
I'm a very recent fan from your work! Loved every video so far. Congrats from a Portuguese 🇵🇹 living in Brazil 🇧🇷 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😎🏁
ok now that’s not fair - I haven’t had breakfast and you’re making me want lunch 🤣😂 thnx for another wonderful travel / food adventure 🙏😷
I really enjoyed your video, your perspective, and humour. Very well produced and worthy of an immediate subscription. All the best.
Thank you for the review 😄
This was very relaxing to watch. Thank you.
Thank you for your video! Wonderful train! 😊
Japanese faucet, Dr. Grant edition. "Don't move. It's vision is based on movement. It can't see us if we don't move."
"why don't we invite the other stick for added comfort" and "wait. calm down. ...calm down. WHAT IS GOING ON" lmao these subtitles along with this calm video always give me a chuckle.
Lockers! Holy Toledo! Fantastic! And I've travelled on hundreds and hundreds of trains in Japan!
Still lowkey one of the funniest channels, your little jokes kill me every time 😂
I really like the way you make your videos. It's really beautiful .... All the best 💕🇧🇩
It’s so nice learning about this great looking options, thanks!
Thank you! Very enjoyable video!❤🇨🇦
I think this is the first of your videos I've watched. Your captions are really funny. That tap in the toilet that wouldn't turn off made me laugh! 😁 I love Japanese train travel and this video made me nostalgic.
Thanks for the interesting train tour! I was “blown away” by the size of the bathroom. We never see one that big on our train 😕🤷🏼♀️ And off topic… you have very nice hands. 🙂👍
I love the subtitled commentary 😂❤️ Always makes my day
Amazing! Unbelievable hygiene standards and comforts. This is the standard developing countries to aim for without wasting time and money for Research and Development.
One day I will visit Japan......
I'm waiting for you
@@what-four-heavenly-kings hoho thank you dear❤
Wow! Wow! Wow! What a fantastic train! I would love to do that trip by this slower train and to get to see the countryside while traveling in comfort with all the convenience needed.
This video was soothing, informative and funny. Thank you!
Love your style of videos. I think I'm going to binge watch all of them over the next couple days.
thanks for the Hinotori video, my very first stop after arriving in Nagoya station was at Yabaton for miso katsu! good stuff!
Oh my God,what a splendid train,very nice video,as allways. greetings from Argentina
U have a great humour love the way you talk while recording video that's quite relaxing
I am so impressed with this video!! Great job!
That food looked amazing. The train looked incredible as well. I’d love to have one of those cups as a souvenir.
Vending machine in train 😍 what aa technology japan 😘😘😚 and Japan is my favourite country in the world 😍💖💗💗
This is one my favorite , so beautiful ! And ride , amazing ! Thank you . Good job !😍
Its nice when you just used subtitles, i felt calm.
Your trains are always so clean, efficient, on time, and look like a joy to ride. I'm a fan of vending machines so this would be a fun (and expensie) way to travel. Love your videos👍👍
Amaaaaazing train design.... marvelous and speechless
