Fascinating option. Thank you for showing us. It’s good to know this is an excellent option if one is carrying a melon. We’d never find this out if it wasn’t for you. We owe you a debt of gratitude Mr Handsome Solo Traveller.
Those steam eye masks are a must for me when I take the overnight Greyhound bus from my city to Chicago (which is about 8 hours). They help me fall asleep easier, especially because we don't have busses with private seating like this. I think I became unreasonably excited at the ottoman and leg rest on this bus, and how far your seat reclined - Greyhound seats barely recline at all!

A small Eastern Shore sugar baby watermelon is essential for all my travel.😁 That looked like a comfortable trip. Thanks for taking all of us along on your continued adventures.
The vibration of road travel pits me to sleep. But then I spent a good chunk of my youth and teenage years going in the logging truck with my dad all over the southern interior of British Columbia.
Oh, no, STJ, how could you do this to us! No food! Your meals are my favorite parts of your videos. It's a very nice bus, but it's still just a bus. I'd much rather take a ferry, train, or even just an airplane.
Japan has the coolest forms of transportation available to the public. I don't like taking buses, as I had to take several in young adulthood and they're just not always all that comfy, but this one is a fantastic thing. The vibration wouldn't bother me, but being able to recline my seat and put my feet up and actually sleep would be a great way to get around if I had to travel at night.
I love all the amenities provided on the bus. By the way, you have to show us your 'before' and 'after' face before we could help you to determine whether the steam mask can make you more handsome than 'already handsome' 😁
Well, not that you're missing much... But the long distance bus is a cheap alternative to every other transport I must agree. The overnight train is still the best!)
Hello!! Just came to say my fiancé and I really enjoy your videos, and my fiancé especially appreciates them because she was lucky enough to visit Japan when she was a teenager. Keep up your amazing work! 😊🇯🇵
It is quite interesting how motorcoaches/buses have gone through radical changes, of course in terms of design and features . Today, the motorcoach has evolved and able to offer luxury and comfort. 💚
As an American truck driver, I loved seeing the different trucks parked at the rest areas. That one purple truck that was taking up two parking spaces would have gotten yelled at by other drivers for doing that here in the US. That's considered very inconsiderate because truck stops run out of parking spaces very quickly here. Do you know of any youtubers who are Japanese truck drivers? I would love to see what being an over the road (long haul) truck driver is like in Japan. Thank you for your videos!
Thank you uploading this video. I plan to visit Japan next year, your documentation makes me feel confident to travel by bus to the major cities of Japan. Have a great Sunday brother ✌️
Another wonderful trip video. Great job! I'd love to see a video, or series of videos, about public transportation to various shops and restaurants across Tokyo. Seeing bus and subway travel to the different neighborhoods would be fascinating.
Well, obviously, you're precious. That's why they let you buy a seat in precious class. Oh, and of course you caused the rattling (I was going to write turbulence...) because you lifted the little side table...
It's great that your videos show many different ways of travel. Not all of us can afford first class, While some of your viewers want to speed along from city to city, others want to travel more slowly and see the points between the urban areas. Others get seasick easily, and need choices other than ferries. Glad to know that you are handsome!
The Shinkansen costs just as much as the dream liner if you take non-reserved seats (you still get a seated place usually, just not designated) and only takes 2.5h from Osaka to Tokyo. So unless you can actually sleep on busses and want to save hotel costs, the dream liner bus is not a cheaper or more convenient option.... there are regular night busses that only cost 7,000Yen that I prefer since I can't fall asleep anyway but just want to save money (seats are normal bus seats).
The Shinkansen non-reserved seats cost just as much as the dream liner, so unless you are someone who can sleep on busses the Shinkansen is a better option only taking 2.5h
🤭🤭 you are so funny. Ironically i was eating watermelon when you made comment about putting them in storage area. Your videos are so refreshing. Thank you for taking us on trips with you. 🙋♀️❤👍⚘ Debi in California
Texas is waiting for you to try Tex-Mex food my traveler. I have eaten a lot more chicken and pork Katsudon because of you. I can guide you to the good spots :)
I am comparing this bus terminal to Victoria in London… it’s like comparing a hospital in Japan to a cheap brothel in LA… thankfully, I want to go to the first and not the second..😏
Thanks 😊 for sharing your night coach ride experience with us. It’s good except I miss the scenery till it happens in the morning ride. At least now I know what’s it’s like to take night ride. Arigato gozaimasu 😊
I did something similar before. I went from Kobe to Fukuoka in a night bus and it was great. I would recommend bringing a spare battery in case you need to use electronics as I don't know if there will be outlets.
Gonna give it to you straight, I have such a mortal fear of buses that this made me antsy, so no, no thank you on trying it! 😂 but as always, I very much enjoyed it!! It's a lot nicer than the only bus I've ever spent 12+ hours on, for darn sure.
Thank you for sharing you night bus journey ! So much nicer than the Greyhound bus travel here in the US.. sooo many stops for passengers to get on or off.
I lived in Japan, and rode the night bus back and forth to Osaka and Tokyo twice, but it wasn't like this one. Japan has the best transportation systems in the world
That reminded me of the time when I took a night bus from Antalya to Bursa, and then to Istanbul, and another time that I took a bus from São Paulo to Foz do Iguaçu, then back a few days later. But yours is way better.

As a traveling musician who likes his watermelons on the go, this sounds like the perfect method of transportation
LOL perfect. i was going to reply something to this nature but you have the perfect one already.
This comment slowly made more sense as I watched this video.
All watermelons must arrive safely and intact, as well as the person transporting them, of course.
OMG so happy I caught this video right when it first came out. Your videos are absolutely amazing and they bring me a sense of peace. Thank you
me too :) this channel's videos bring me so much comfort 😭

The sarcasm drips from your comments:::: 😀
not at all. I love this channel very much. @@tapestry6455
STJ, you ARE a precious person. Don't ever let anyone or anybus tell you otherwise.
I love the night bus in Japan. A cheap option to avoid hotel stay and maximize time during the day. Part of me want to take the bus all over Japan.
Yes, I always travel with a watermelon, and my saxophone. Those eye masks are the bomb too, I love them. Thanks for the ride along.

I'd like to know why the law in Japan doesn't allow the seat to go back all the way ..isn't that what he said?
@@soniadowney7427 my guess is some kind of safety law incase of a crash or something might be higher likely hood of being injured after a certain degree?
@@soniadowney7427 It's a much bigger safety hazard if a car crash happens, compared to sitting up or at a recline.
Never heard of steam masks.
Japan is really a great place. Thanks for making us feel like we're traveling too!
is best
yeah for anti social people.
@@xondeez757

You're overgeneralizing the case of a few people.
There are people in the West who spend all day playing games as well.
What a fun video! This is one of my all time favorites! 💜
And it makes you feel like a precious person because you ARE a precious person! 🥰
Wonderful! I could not believe how clean the truck stop was! Amazing! No trash, no punks, no graffiti! I just have to go there soon.
Thank you for taking us along with you. Enjoyable as always! ❤️👍🏻

Watermelon gang represent. 🍉
Eastern Shore 🍉 the best
If your bus seat does not come with a net, Japan does have cube-shaped watermelons available.
I think STJ was making a joke about something hard falling on your head, such as a watermelon. Ah, so.
@@2eleven48 I always carry one. I crush it with my prosthetic foot as a party trick
The vibration of road travel pits me to sleep. But then I spent a good chunk of my youth and teenage years going in the logging truck with my dad all over the southern interior of British Columbia.
Very nice! Certainly better than the Greyhound busses we have in the US lol. I did that once and I thought I was gonna die. 😆
But the people are always so entertaining, no?
@@susanhafferkamp4325 Entertaining is one word for it 😭
@@camillegrinnaux879 That's one way of putting it lol

Nice! That's a lot of comfort packed into a bus! But only for precious handsome people!!
Thanks for bringing us with you travelling. Have a hearty breakfast on me!
Thanks for the breakfast!
My husband and I love your videos, never miss them. And your sense of humor! We've never seen you but I'm sure you were/are already handsome.
Now this is what I'm talking about, I get such cozy vibes from this. Like a capsule hotel on the road.
8:03
9:50 I love the 1% of Solo's videos where they make these little jokes😭🫶
Oh, no, STJ, how could you do this to us! No food! Your meals are my favorite parts of your videos.

Incredible video, I absolutely loved the footage. Felt very cinematic and nostalgic in a way. Worked perfectly well with some ambient music. Loved it.

This makes me want to travel in Japan! I have never seen rest stations or bus terminals that clean in the USA.
Love the humour Solo! I really enjoy your videos. Long distance bus service is basically non-existant in Canada which is a real shame 🙁
Greyhound
@@ananasbanana they're not in canada anymore
Yup
Well, not that you're missing much... But the long distance bus is a cheap alternative to every other transport I must agree. The overnight train is still the best!)
The announcement voice reminds me of a college professor of mine who had a night job as a jazz radio DJ. Very soothing.
Made me wonder what the other seats looked like, but I’m sure you’ll show us someday in a short trip. 😀
Excellent video with super awesome work. Thanks so much.
Yeah I admit it, I heard precious class and a voice in my head goes straight to Gollum.
I love hearing the little tone at the start of these videos. Just hearing it and I know I'll have a good time watching.
Hello!! Just came to say my fiancé and I really enjoy your videos, and my fiancé especially appreciates them because she was lucky enough to visit Japan when she was a teenager. Keep up your amazing work! 😊🇯🇵

A good way to travel at night by bus. Definitely looked comfortable. Will see you in the next one. Take care and be safe. 😊

Everybody’s must have travel items….
1) watermelon
2) instruments
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That looked amazingly comfortable! Thank you for a great video to watch. Safe travels 😃
Love the tip for watermelon storage. I always struggle with that when I travel. Lol!

Hi from New Zealand
just wanted to say that i really enjoy your videos
keep up the great content
xo
4:49 Thanks for the info! I always had a hard time finding a bus that can store my watermelons so having that feature is a great addition. Subbed
Thank you for this video. It may be an excellent option to travel between Osaka and Tokyo

Wow what a wild ride thank you for sharing
Goodness! I missed you...glad you're still traveling. 😁 That bus ride was awesome!

That bed-seat looks really comfy. I am surprised. I didn't know a bus could be so nice!
Well, obviously, you're precious. That's why they let you buy a seat in precious class.
Oh, and of course you caused the rattling (I was going to write turbulence...) because you lifted the little side table...
So calming to watch this peaceful bus journey 😌
"you can put your watermelon in here" well, only Solo would have that as their first thought..I love the bits of humor.
Wow what luxury...Seems nice and peaceful too..I just love your sense of humor lol..Looking forward to our next trip...Thank you
Now I know I can bring my watermelon while traveling Japan by bus. Thanks for another great video.
A precious person needs room to store their watermelons, this is perfect 🍉🙆♂️

I like that method of traveling it lets you see a lot of Japan.

Great video thanks for sharing. I am worried that you did not appear to get at least one meal. 🙂 Don't starve making these for us!
I love watching your videos, they are very interesting that you go on the night bus
With that name I would expect a picture of Gollum for every seat.
Always watch and love your videos. That looked like a comfortable seat!
My Friend, I can't believe you forgot your watermelon for the luggage rack!!! Top video as always...
Very thoughtful 👏
This video features STJ's socks in a major role, and in a stunning development he visits a food court...and buys nothing!
I don't skip the ads when I watch your videos.
So you LIKE adverts?
@@antispindr8613 No, I don't. But I want to support your channel.
@@m.araneta8054 While a short advert or two is okay-ish, what I object to is the number of rubbish ads on TH-cam. Are they not getting out-of-hand?
I don't travel well by road but the privacy, comfy seat, and coldness just might make it work for me. Intriguing.
More busses should remind people of how precious they are.
This bus is perfect for my new business: Precious People Watermelon Delivery Service, LLC.

These vids are getting funnier every time. I love the humor.
7 hours is a very lonely journey, although Japanese buses are very user-friendly and comfortable, but the time is still long
Only worth it if you are a person who can sleep on busses... otherwise take the Shinkansen or cheaper bus than the dream liner.
What a great series thank you for sharing
お疲れ様でした〜！俺も同じバス乗ってたで！
I love that it's called "Precious Class" 😍
