Japan’s Most Expensive Bullet Train 😇🚄 Only 18 Auto-Reclining FIRST CLASS Seats on the Shinkansen

I tried the "Gran Class", the most expensive first class seat on Japan’s Shinkansen bullet train.
Japanese bullet train comes in three classes; ordinary “Economy Class”, more spacious business class called “Green Seats”, and the most expensive first class called “Gran Class” complete with service by cabin attendants.
Gran Class is a luxurious and special first class that has been introduced only on the Joetsu / Hokuriku Shinkansen and the Tohoku / Hokkaido Shinkansen.
This time I traveled from Tokyo to Kanazawa on the former route called “Hakutaka”, but the latter is longer. So if you like long-distance train trips, I recommend you to try the latter.

☆★☆This is what it was actually like!☆★☆
--Gran Class, Shinkansen--
* Even doors are different.
* This must be the most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat in my life.
* The cabin attendant was polite and even her voice was calm and wonderful.
* The guy next to me was too relaxed and his space was messy.
* The toilet was handicap friendly and spacious.
* Drinking sparkling wine on the train is extraordinary.
* Go Go Curry at Kanazawa Station was so tasty.
A challenge to visit every country in the world... "Japan" is the "1st" country that I visited out of all the 196 counties in the world.
☆How to get to this place☆
* Tokyo Station: About 40 minutes by limousine bus or monorail, JR and Keikyu Line from Haneda Airport 🚄 MAP: goo.gl/maps/9UHt9xm59DUsRKqJ7

I’d love to travel to Japan in the future, it would be lovely. I can imagine how much cool food there is and cute stores there would be! Always loved the culture since I was 9, I am now 13. Thank you for this video, since it does make me a little jealous. 🤣 Anyways, loved the video! Very calming keyboard sound effect in the background when showing the times, i thought that was clever, i also like the background ambience. For some reason, it’s very calming. ☺️ Keep up the great work! Love your content as always!! ❤️

I went to Japan and taught English for 2 years. If you want to visit Japan, I encourage you to try living there. It's so wonderful!

[@kitty-fx]

@@lydiaderhake2532 of course it is wonderful but it takes a significant amount of time to blend in with Japanese culture. I've not been there but my friend lives there and he kinda faced that problems. But the people were very polite and helpful so he's doing just find now.

[@Love-Is-Kind]

Hello, dear lovely TAI Creator! 🙂👋🏼 I hope you are well rested and enjoyed a satisfying meal. It was lovely to see your tiny traveling companion, Star Wars Business Storm Trooper. I also noticed the Trooper was guarding your beverage while you were enjoying refreshments in the View Gold Lounge before heading to the correct platform for boarding. I must say that the first class seats, "GranClass", in the Shinkansen bullet train 🇯🇵🚅, was quite impressive. The lounge available for the GranClass passengers to wait seems very peaceful. My kind of place. I love enjoying peace & quiet in a clean environment even though I don't mind being still in nature too. 😌 The Hakutaka really seems to fly like a "white hawk". So super duper fast and smooth. Did I see 212 mph/341 kph correctly for the speed of the train? Wow! I'm delighted to see the location of the GranClass is in car #12. The overhead compartments are truly like the ones found on most commercial flights. How cool! 😎👍🏽 The individual movable reading light and adjustable headrest are appreciated. People need to have a sense of space and privacy even when traveling especially if they paid good money for such accommodations. Glad to see that you were treated like royalty while traveling. All of the refreshments looked divine. I thought the portions served during the light meal time was quite a bit. My tummy would be just fine with the portions provided however everyone's appetite is different and that's perfectly okay. 😌 Sir, what is Mugwort Poundcake? Looks intriguing. I was hoping that the slippers would give your traveling toes some wiggle room. Perhaps the next trip the slippers might fit. 😊 Seeing the table being taken from the armrest as if pulling a sword from its scabbard was probably one of the most exciting parts of the entire video for me! That was super duper cool! 😃🗡 If I spoke about all of the fascinating de6of everything that I loved about this video there wouldn't be enough room for other viewers to share their thoughts too. Haha 😄 Thank you 🙏🏽😇, Sir! I can always rely on good content from your channel. The way you present all of the information here is appreciated and I am very grateful to have found your channel. Always wishing you excellent health, peace, real love (when the time is right), great success, and true happiness. Please take care and have a beautiful day/afternoon/evening. See you in your next upload. 🤗🤝🤗
