3:18 as for someone on the Autism Spectrum, usually big crowds are very overwhelming for people like me, but I can handle crowds fine! Also at 28:19, a lot of people with ASD from all around the world love trains, including me. When I was younger and in primary school, my fellow classmates did find me a bit strange for liking trains, sometimes I would get teased about it, but I didn't mind it too much, trains are just one of the big things that make up me. I guess if people like trains, Japan is a great place to go to, and it seems very appreciated as well!

All the benefits of the Shinkansen and although you didn’t mention the high cost, with the JR Pass, even with its increase, the system is truly a remarkable one. I mainly used the Keihan Mainline for my travelling between Osaka and Kyoto as I was home based in Neyagawa for the near two weeks I was there and it was just as efficient, clean and reliable as Shinkansen. It also went past the Fushimi Inari Taishi and the end of the line is Demichayanagi which is near The Old Imperial Palace in Kyoto

Sounds wonderful! I was quite lucky as I was able to book my JR Pass at the pre-increase prices. I also got a Kansai area pass for a later part of the trip, which was good value for Osaka to Hiroshima. 🤔

I love getting a stamp. Almost every train station has a place where you can get a stamp to commemorate your visit to that station. It's mostly used by younger passengers. I have collected over 150. Sadly, I only have 4 of the commemorative photos, Which the attendant will take of you holding the special placard with the day's date on special trains e.g. The A train, The Train to Yufuin etc.

One of my favourites you didn't mention is station stamps. A lot of Japanese stations have them, either in the paid area, the concourse, or kept in the station staff's offices, just ask them for it. You can learn a lot about the area around the station from them. I was in Osaka 2 weeks ago and the hotel I stayed in was outside the city centre in a residential neighbourhood, but I figured out that it's known for fireworks viewing in the summer because its station stamp had fireworks in its design. That makes sense because the station is next to one of the biggest rivers that runs through Osaka and that's a safe spot to launch fireworks from.

I live in Japan and I endorse this video! Japan is a train lovers paradise. Regarding not talking in the seating area of train carriages, I don't think there is no strict rule. In all the trains I've been on, you can talk quietly in the seating area. The Japanese are naturally quiet, so there is no need for a dedicated quiet carriage. As far as I know, there are no longer smoking areas on trains. I haven't seen any. I didn't know that the English announcer I hear is the person on the Piccadilly Line. Amazing!

That was great. On a Shink about a decade ago, was the first time I came across the now common vertical hand dryers where you put your hands inside the machine and move your hands up and down. I thought it was a bit strange that is was outside the toilet. The Shink didn't go to Aomori back then and earlier we changed to local train. We were travelling on to Hirosaki and when we reached Aomori, fellow passengers jumped up to turn all the seats around. We caught Tokyo suburban trains and some regional trains, and our JR East pass allowed us onto a bus to Mount Iwaki. At one point a very stylish looking older Japanese woman left her seat to use the toilet and left her handbag sitting on the table next to me. That told me rather a lot about Japan. I think we caught a train and then a rubber tyred train to railway museum in the north of Tokyo. The museum was great and I drove a tram, kind of. I look forward to your future Japanese videos.

I met many friendly folk and often was invited to stay with a family. Youth hostels were good, especially the traditional ones where we slept on the floor.

It was such a joy to watch this video. We visited Japan last September. We had our JR Pass and used the trains extensively. We were on the ' Hello Kitty' train from Osaka to Hiroshima. We also visited the train museum just outside Nagoya. We rode on the suspended railway from Ofuna to Enoshima, followed by the tram to Kamakura before returning to Tokyo. Our hotel room near Shinagawa station had great views of the railway from our room. When we weren't on a train, we were watching them. Absolutely fantastic video. It allows us to relive our memories of Japan.

I can relate to having views of the railways ... wasn't in the same league but I stayed in a small hotel in Onomichi before cycling the Shimanami Kaido. The hotel was attached to the railway station and had views of the platforms. You could hear freight trains passing in the night. That was pretty cool.

I live on Canada's east coast and our train service west to the main centres of Montréal and Toronto are now reduced to two to three times a week depending on time of year. They also take around 25 hours so the fast trains would just change life here. Maybe with such vast areas, it would be too expensive or maybe it's just a lack of motivation on Via Rail's part.

Google Maps is quite helpful for looking at your options with up to date public transport options.

I 100% agree with this list. I did the blue Romancecar from Shinjuku to Hakone-Yumoto and Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto back in 2019. Never had I felt so pleasant travelling on trains. Japan is a class apart from other nations when it comes to their railways. There is a sort of cooperation between the public and JR. The train company trusts that passengers will not dirty the train with food crumbs or speak loudly on trains therefore, there is no law prohibiting food consumption. Likewise, the train company also delivers with safe, fast and punctual train services. This is non-existent in the rest of the world. By the way, will you be doing more Japan train reviews?
