What I love about this channel is that this man's humour is always on point

Some 15 years ago, I took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto. I couldn't figure out where the train was but people were very kind and pointed me to it. I had a seat in a car completely empty. The thing flashed by homes and rice paddies. I noted the great variety of greens there are in Japan. Loved the ride. On the way back, I decided to save a few bucks and bought a cheaper train only to find it stopping at every hamlet and town. I decided to pay for the Shinkansen but had to get off, take another commuter milk run, but finally got the train on the East coast of Japan. The moral of the story: don't be cheap. Pay the fare and enjoy.

It was so thoughtful of you to include aliens! Impressive ride :)

As a UK citizen. I’m ashamed to say how awful our train systems are compared to Japans. We have dirty trains, they don’t always run on time and have so many rude and noisy people on them too In Japan everything and everywhere is spotlessly clean. There is no rubbish or litter on the floor or platforms, the trains are spotlesss outside and gleam with paintwork and class. It’s so so quiet too. Everybody respects each other’s space. This guy has a great sense of humour which is refreshing on a journey such as this when there’s no talking. Still those bullet trains are impressive, they obviously leave dead on time too. Both meals looked good too. I bet he took everything and put his rubbish straight into a bin aswell. Total respect and admiration for this country’s manners 👍🏻👏🏻

As an Alien I appreciate the conversion so I had a reference.

SST is often imitated by other You Tubers doing the same thing, but never surpassed. Just the right relaxing pace, good commentary with a slice of humor. Thank you SST, I've enjoyed every journey so far.

Hahaha "goodbye sandwich, see you on the other side." 😂 You always make your videos interesting to watch and give lots of information. Looking forward to seeing the next one.
@antonymclean1130
Much better than Kuga! I especially enjoy the lack of harsh criticisms as the other YouTubers inundate us with. The camera work is very good. Your politeness and sincere graciousness is refreshing; thanking higher powers for food, the journey, etc. I will contribute to this wonderful channel.

Man....I always marvel over how well Japan does the whole high-speed rail experience - from the cheapest seats to the priciest...always a clean, comfortable, class act all the way. I've travelled on the Chinese equivalent quite a few times and I can tell you they are worlds apart. The bento looked pretty righteous by the way !! LOL

From Chicago and a family of train lovers Thank you for your videos. You are educating us Japan is certainly impressive!!

When I went on military service, I traveled over 9000 (literally) kilometers from Saint-Petersburg to Khabarovsk. I was dreaming all my childhood to visit such a route. I also enjoy densha-de-go series, and understand a bit your vision of trains. Thank you for your videos
@OceanSwimmer
New Subscriber here; I love your format --- subtitles with great humor, plus no wasted time with gasbag explanations! I'm 70 and may never see Japan. I am encouraged how user friendly the trains and hotels are. The emphasis on QUIET in the capsule hotels makes them very desireable. The bath/shower/soak tub looks divine.
@notmyname327
Another great video, informative and funny as usual! Of course 7 hours is a long trip, but just to put things into perspective: where I live there aren't high speed trains and the train tracks are actually really poorly maintained. Last month I took a 570 kms trip, it took... 17 hours! It was a sleeper and I got to book a room so it wasn't that bad, just painfully slow lol
@ReyOfLight
“For the aliens out there” made me laugh way too much 🤣
@LakshmananLM
I'm glad I randomly watch your videos. They always never disappoint. For Malaysians, it's distance of Singapore to Bangkok. Our trains are full of hope. Hope no delays due to an engine issue and certainly Hope no floods!

Nghe danh tiếng tàu Shinkansen đã lâu nay mới được tận mắt thấy. Thật tuyệt vời! Ước gì có cơ hội để trải nghiệm con tàu được mệnh danh "nhanh nhất thế giới". Arigato!!!

1500 km in 7:17 hours? I am so envious. In Germany with the ICE I need for 800 km to my mother with two smaller regional trains in between and 3-5 changeovers a total of almost 10 hours. I always travel 1st class, I allow myself the luxury once a year. Last year on the outward journey I wanted to have during the longest journey (6 hours for 600 km) the big advertised food (schnitzel with rice and vegetables) and we had just left, for "logistical reasons" were no hot food in the train, I got hold of the last sandwich (it was warm and did not taste good and was expensive) and would otherwise have had to feed on candy bars. I sat in the quiet compartment, but there were loud phone calls or listening to music without headphones, despite complaints. Most toilets were broken, I had to climb halfway across the train and stand in line to pee. In one train compartment the air conditioning failed at 33C outside temperature and the people from there were squeezed in with us in 1st class. I luckily had a single seat. But for once there was no delay, I have experienced often enough. Germany could learn soooo much from Japan in this respect!
@okbyethankshello
As some one from Melbourne, I loved the reference point of distance. To add to this, as someone who loves to go to Hakata everytime I'm in Japan- I may just avoid doing it via Shinkansen from Tokyo next time I visit (although, I was kind of secretly looking forward to the journey). Safe travels!
@antonjakobsson7379
That's a really impressive stretch with a high speed train! I can see why you would like a sleeper train though. It is so very nice to get on in the evening and wake up in a new place.
