11-Hour Journey from Tokyo to Osaka by LOCAL TRAIN | Japan Railways

[@guachulei912]

I was feeling depressed today and glad I bump into this! I need a getaway not in my country but back in Japan! I love taking trains way back when I was there. Thank you for making this vlog and taking me with you in your train journey to Osaka, Domo Arigatou!

[@twofoottaylor1]

What an amazing video, thank you so much for sharing, I will never be able to visit Japan so this was a real treat to travel with you via video. 素晴らしいビデオですね、共有してくれて本当にありがとう。私はもう日本を訪れることはできないので、ビデオで皆さんと一緒に旅行できて本当に嬉しかったです。

[@DanielsUKT]

Great video showing us the journey from Tokyo to Osaka using local trains it seems to be much more interesting this way you get to see loads of places without simply zooming past and a total bargain at that

もっとたくさん乗り換えするのかと思ったら、意外と少ない本数で到着するんですね。 あんまき美味しそうでした😋

Japan atmosphere is incredible, I visited a lot of country but in no one I feel the same, also behind a screen

[@クラウンスレイヤ_963]

Me too

[@syrkaros5815]

I visited Japan because it was the dream of my life. And as soon as I arrived I found exactly what I was expecting: a wonderful country where I'd love to spend the last years of my life when I retire. That travel was the best experienced I've had in my whole life

Arigatou, travelgeek for giving us a peek at how ordinary train travel feels like and looks like to the average Japanese traveler. More of this please! #appreciated

Quite a trip! I'm very impressed that the rail network allows you to travel the whole way from Tokyo to Osaka on local trains. To my knowledge, no such network exists in the United States. Arigatou gozaimasu!

[@Informativeeye]

United states doesn't use railway.

[@Hokunin]

It reminded me of my around the world backpacking days, when I decided to travel across various selected countries in the train, stopping for day at every major town, observing how normal folks live, tasting food, meeting new people. Was an adventurous time indeed

[@chellastation]

That sounds like fun. Every destination is a new surprise 😺

[@mpastv]

This is such a professional video! I love all the subtitles, even if they are at times delayed. Thank you for making this! The video was also very interesting.

[@anp3769]

I did this in November between Hiroshima and Hakata (in Fukouka). The sights were beautiful and it's an interesting experience if you have the time and in a lot of places you go next to the ocean and see the country side. We got off in a couple places along the way. But it gets a bit tiring after dark, so after we passed Kokura we couldn't see much of Kyushu. So it's worth it if you have the time and want to go off the beaten path for a bit. The Shinkansen is a fast option, too, but the line is separate and it has several stretches that go through a tunnel inside the mountains, so you you see much less.

[@Cornstarch999]

As always love all the vlog, it feels like we both traveling together

[@edching908]

Me too.

[@adamw1944]

Excellent trip report, especially for train travel funs. I love your trip reports, they are the best of this kind. Bravo.

[@phak74]

I love the train but haven't taken it for a long time, watching your videos makes me travel through Japan and I find it very relaxing. Thanks

[@patitaisa]

15年程前に目白に一人暮らしをしていた時ですが、お婆ちゃんが地元の尼崎から青春18切符を使ってわざわざ会いに来てくれて、朝5時くらいに家を出て12時間くらいかけて着いたよと聞いた時は何をしとんねんと思いつつも元気やなあ、ありがとうなと思いました。いつか東京に行く時は自分もやってみたいと思います。

[@lepetitchat123]

I wouldn't do this kind of slow travel in other countries but only in Japan! In a heartbeat! I'd start early so I could arrive at the destination in the evening.

[@63Lipton]

I really enjoy watching your videos. It’s so relaxing and learn a lot from your videos. Thank you. Japan is my favourite country to visit and really missed.

[@Kattakam]

Pride in everything is evident by how shiny the railway is inside and out with the equipment and people. Cheers

[@allaroundpeterMEDIA]

This was an amazing video!! ❤

[@stepheniemorris1077]

Thank you so much for your videos. They make me even more excited for my trip to Japan in June!

[@ak1974hama]

11:40 The newer trains (Series 313) have restrooms. 11:59 The Oigawa Railway, which runs along the Oigawa River, has an SL modeled after "Thomas & Friends". (As of November 28, 2022, the service is suspended due to flood damage caused by a typhoon, and is scheduled to resume on December 16.) 12:47 You don't specifically mention Hamamatsu station...🥲 15:07 The reason for the cross-seat trains from Toyohashi Station is because JR and Meitetsu are in competition from Toyohashi to Gifu. (Trains that go directly from Hamamatsu to Nagoya are cross-seat. Bad luck.)

[@starrwulfe]

When I lived in Nagoya doing Sheshun 18-kippu runs, I almost NEVER could get a Nagoya-Hammatsu train. Always Toyohashi... But usually got Toyoashi-Shimada, so that's kind of good.

[@acmenipponair]

because the train just stops there for a short wile in Hamamatsu and then goes up till Maibara.

[@jamescc2010]

Nice trip on slow to see local places, people, traditions, and food.

[@markxfarmer6830]

Slow trains, slow life. Lived in Japan for over a decade and took over 28 five-day Seishun 18 trips around the country to explore Japan. Shinkansens and limited express trains in Japan are amazing but if you want to see and experience the country, Seishun 18 is a great way to do it. Takes some scheduling work and adaptability but it’s worth it.

[@thelonelyartist711]

The noodles looked delicious! Such an interesting little restaurant. More and more I long to visit Japan and experience these atmospheres. Thank you for the video! Keep up the good work!

[@Ippido]

So many people on trains going by their busy daily lives... nice video, thanks 🙏👍

Bonjour👋travelgeek, votre vidéo m'a relaxé. J'attendais avec impatience votre nouvelle vidéo et je ne suis pas déçue avec un peu d'humour et de la nourriture locale.

I think if you do this as a 2 day trip with many stops along the way to eat and explore, this is a very good deal.

[@Viepivot]

Its actually interesting to get to tried out many trains in one journey, i'm looking the best way when i travel to japan, but it might be hard for tourist with quite a lugage to try this way of travelling to osaka. Still so happy to bump on this video ❤ thank u~

In his video, he shows how most places in Japan can be reached by train only (Okinawa is the only exception) This is one of the advantages of Japanese society. (You can get around without a car)

[@olivermiller2013]

This was nice and interesting, how diferent the trains were. I assume they are all from different train companies. What I really like are all the sorts of sounds you hear in Japan. In Germany such things are non-existant. The trains are all very clean. I think, when I travel one time to Japan I will for sure try to travel a bit around with trains and ferrys.

[@OverseerMoti]

Those trains are employed by one parent company, the JR Group. Japan has a penchant for rolling stock designs, partly to avoid confusion which train is which, i.e. between the express and the local ones.

5:38 I kept the suica card I used when I visited in '16 and was able to top it up when I returned in '19. I doubt I can use it again anymore. I think I'll just keep it as a souvenir. 21:39 Skater boys. Are they allowed to ride their skateboards in Osaka station? This seems like an exhausting trip and it takes up so much of your day. I'm glad you took us with you on it but this would not be for me. You spent the whole day eating pasta. Now I want pasta. Thanks again for another interesting trip. Stay safe.

Japan have the cleanest public transport and the safest at any time of day unlike most major cities around the world. The commuters are respectful to each other and you’d never see on Tik Tok arguments or anything on the trains or buses. Staff are super polite and helpful, try that on Ny metro or London Tube lol

It’s more fun and far cheaper to use Seishun 18-kippu (青春18きっぷ). No age is concerned. It is a special ticket (tokutoku kippu) with a limited sales and use period ( during summer, winter, and spring vacation time ) that allows five one-day unlimited rides for 12,050 yen (same price for adults and children) on regular and rapid trains of all passenger railroad companies (JR lines). You can even travel between Tokyo and Osaka for 2410 yen.
