      I read it said somewhere at the beginning, a little over €100 That's really cheap compared to a 2 ,1/2 hour train ride to my sisters in the uk that costs up £70, plus. And, the ticket conditions in the uk, state that you are not purchasing a seat, you are purchasing the ride wether that be in a seat, bike rack or on the floor. Finally, uk trains are filthy too, and the operators are always on strike, so never on time.

      Looked like the sos botton had a cover so you cant press it on accident. But yeah not the best idea

    That snow view while laying down would be the coolest thing to Power Nap with. Just cruising then falling asleep, then waking up with more of that great view.. that sounds awesome.

    A WONDERFUL trip! Wow, could not believe how crowded the platform still was so late at night...guess everybody has to run away somehow from those monster lights behind them, :P The soba looked yum...as did that hot spring :). So happy for you to have these opportunities; and happy for me to be able to ride along

    wow, that's soooo cool! Until we get spaceships to other planets, I think this is the coolest transport that humans have made. I will now plan to visit and ride this myself. Thank you Kuga.

    Idk why this popped up in my feed but that was quite relaxing yet entertaining.
    Totally subscribing. That last dish looks really good I'm hoping there's somewhere waaaaay over here in El Paso TX that serves at least something similar.

    It was a very enjoyable trip from my view as well, a mere spectator. The snow was indeed lovely...I enjoyed seeing it again. I live in a place that never sees snow...central Florida, USA. Thanks for a great video!

    The idea of going to sleep looking out a massive curved window as we pass through snowy woods on a moonlit night... THAT must be amazing.

    absolutely beautiful, I am swiss and this reminds me a lot about our own kind of culture, but I very much wish we had a similar kind of train ride we could book. beautiful, I'd love to take one of those rides myself. Thank you

    This is a fun video. Thank you for posting it. If I can point out a small error in the English translation, you said “can withdraw their defeat on the vending machine.” It made me chuckle when I realized the translation should have been “take out their defeat.” “Take out” does sometimes mean “withdraw,” like when you take out cash from an ATM machine. Here, though, it means to treat someone or something badly to feel better about something negative that happened to you. Like “he took out his anger at losing his job on his pillow by punching it until all the feathers came out.” It’s a small error, and made me smile. Sorry if it’s already been said in the comments. Thank you again!
