They could’ve made the lamp any color but they chose blue. Squid confirmed.

I love your subtle humor 😅 we never actually hear your voice but you’re hilarious and I love touring Japan through your experiences ❤

[@somayaameroden4325]

I've always watch your vlog and i love it always . Thank you for sharing 💕

[@1stmurderess]

8:01 made it look like the deer was calling you broke w/ the way it was looking @ you.

[@TraveldenganDon]

Japanese trains are on a different level to the rest of world . It’s fantastic that a nation still spend money on designing and building brilliant individual trains .

[@animequeen78]

Because their govt actually cares that access to mass transit benefits the nation as a whole.

[@bubbledoubletrouble]

The railways in question are private companies in a hot market. They are incentivized to produce products that attract customers. From personal experience I can say that if you go out into the boonies where there’s only one company-often run at a loss by local government-it’s usually much more utilitarian. Out there you take what you can get.

[@marcd6897]

@@bubbledoubletrouble yes, that’s true, but if you compare it to a country like the US, nothing like this exists at all although there should be plenty of private competition possible, but instead all of their trains look like they were designed in the 60’s by metal welder engineers.

[@Pratham_2711]

All credit goes to Japan's government

[@cindiqq2292]

Was here right before pandemic in 2019. The deers kept following me.

[@missOhdrey]

I started watching this channel months ago for relaxation purposes but now I’m only here for the fun english subs 😂

[@TraveldenganDon]

Thank you Solo Traveler for inspiring and helping me to create cool travel videos, it helped me boosting up my travel pg to over 1k sub finally 😊😊✨✨

[@tan12ushka]

Уведомление о новом видео на Вашем канале сделало меня счастливой! Спасибо, что снимаете для нас такие атмосферные и интересные поездки.

[@chrispnw2547]

Thank you for performing the all-important 'squish' test on each seat to judge comfort. 😉 Details like this matter when it comes to luxury travel.

[@jekku4688]

BEAUTIFUL unique train. I would go to Japan and just take a "train vacation" traveling on all the amazing trains in the country.

[@terrinaweb4189]

I adore Japan. It is worlds apart from many countries and particularly my own country the UK. I wish there were more traditions, respect and generally better behaved people here. Our trains are dreadful but sadly a train of this beauty wouldn’t last as people would vandalise it. That is the sad truth. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.

[@gillianhynes7120]

I agree with you in the UK people would have their feet up on empty seats, leave rubbish all over the place and they would write on the seats and walls and you would be lucky if you found the toilet working properly

[@terrinaweb4189]

@@gillianhynes7120 forgot about the toilet! That is very true. It is a very sad truth about our country.

[@amycheung2823]

Also sad to say it"s the same in the United States as the UK with nice things getting ruined!

[@YeanGracie]

Squidward train, Cursed Deer, dumpling on the ceiling, “holy ground” hahaha thank you for your humor and the trip to Nara! Really appreciated! Greeting from 🇺🇸 Wish we have trains like this here, is so crappy and yet it cost an arm and leg just to ride on trains that seriously need to upgrade even Canada cause our backyard is so scenic!

[@JasonB808]

I love Kyoto. I wish I could live near Kyoto for at least one year. I would walk through all the temple, shrines, and shopping streets. In Kyoto bright lights and vivid colors are banned to preserve its traditional heritage. While I like Tokyo a lot. It’s a sensory overload with all its bright lights and video billboards. It’s like Times Square but everywhere 😂.

[@syndorian1670]

I miss the Pooh bear cellphone background already, that image was with us for so many videos!

[@ninettemurk7492]

So many train spotters in Japan, everywhere they are photographing the trains.

[@kevinshumaker3753]

Thank you again, Solo-Solo-san, I love the excursions where, even if the transportation isn't A++++ you also describe the places you are excursioning to, and the highlights in between. This trip gets added to my bucket list, not for the train, but for the Nara experience.

[@blubirbs]

The Sweet Potato Express certainly does look very appetizing lol I think I prefer the Salon seats, even tho the Twin Seats' design with the chairs facing the window was very cozy-looking. The gummy couches won me over. Sasuga Japan, their trains are superior and on another level. Also I love seeing kids on school trips whenever there are travelogs like this. I wish I'd gone on trips like this too when I was in school-- my school couldn't afford trips to another state so we went to a museum in the city instead.

[@donnadwarika6370]

You are always so fun to watch.Nice sweater to match the train LOL. Thanks fir the trip n deer me.

[@nerd26373]

Thanks for taking us around with you. Keep up the good work.

[@MagickSprite]

It’s been over 30 years since I went to Japan as a teenager, but I still remember the Nara deer and seeing the Great Buddha. Thank you for the sweet memories.

[@Elizabeth-nt7uq]

Squidward is my favourite. Lol Such a lovely trip, thank you.

[@terrinaweb4189]

What a beautiful train and experience!

[@bytchesagainstbullshyt3696]

That deer 🦌 was giving you the evil eye when you declined his request for dinner 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@heyokasd]

School trips to Nara were such a feature of 80s/90s anime. I wasn't sure they were still a thing! I quite enjoy the unique aesthetics of the different excursion trains.

[@Ms.HarmonyJ]

My friend this is one of your best videos yet my word I'm dumb found omg why can't I travel with you I really enjoy these videos you go breathtaking places to

[@raquelsimplesassim]

Obrigado Solo querido. Eu amei essa viagem!. Que lindas paisagens!. E você sempre engraçado. O trem muito luxuoso e belíssimo. Um abraço do Brasil. 🇧🇷 ❤ 🇯🇵

[@lostisles5850]

Absolutely amazing how those deer don’t run off or get scared.

[@Dasha15910]

trains in Japan are from another planet. Also, what a nice postcard, people from Postcrossing would really enjoy it 😀

[@lukethomas658]

This is a flashier design than most the trains and ferries you've shown. Thanks as always for showing your adventures. The temple was stunning.

[@meanderingwaveschris6305]

Yay! A new post from you!! I’m so excited to watch!🎉 The train is SO PRETTY 😍 don’t throw the Buddha jar away! You can make it into a candle or use it for spices. Or…give it to me 😂 choose wisely 😂 on second thought.. I’d like one of those cute 🦌 deer please 😍 my heart is melting with how cute they are!! Awwwwww 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love them

[@clo-electra]

Bonjour Solo-solo 👋, ravie de vous revoir. Ce fut un trajet cool, à bord de ce train magnifique aussi bien que l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur. Chouette balade parmi les cerfs, de magnifiques paysages une sortie zen 🥰. Merci pour cette détente et prenez soin de vous 🤗 à bientôt.

[@elliephants7047]

Always glad to see a new train adventure!! :) The chital deer are adorable, but there are two deer I am afraid of: moose, and half-tame deer who think it's hilarious to fight you for ladies in the rut 😨Y'alls historical architecture is gorgeous!! Everywhere has cool things, but I super love the lines in Japan.

[@kiranakims2629]

Wah aku menunggu lama untuk vidio2 baru... Sehat selalu solo solo travel

[@YuanCrossXIII]

I laughed so hard at the captions! 😂😂😂 Great video brew!

[@comfytravels]

What a beautiful train! Love Nara. Most people only visit Nara Park but Nara village is also very pretty. The traditional Japanese houses and narrow alleyways make you go back in time. There is also a wonderful mochi shop near Nara station where you can see the mochi pounding😃

[@raquelmoore2084]

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦. Thank you for sharing this adventure to Nara. I do like deer and I have felt that the visit was spiritual. I do enjoyed the whole idea that the train is themed for Squidward.

[@somayaameroden4325]

Love it 💕 thank you for sharing with us. More videos to come ❤️

[@wrxtuan]

Just seeing Tōdai-ji again bring back memories of when I visited Nara. I am still awed to this day of how big the wooden temple is when you walk through the gate.

[@valsquyres]

Thank you Squidward, you have a very nice train! Thank you Solo Solo man for the great video!

[@pgproductions4432]

My favorite part is when you filmed your train arriving back in Kyoto from the outside. Thanks for sharing.

[@0sireion]

If/when you decide to open your merchandise shop for this channel, I suggest you start with T-shirts or mugs that have various versions of your sesame slogans. It will be like a secret code that fans across the world will notice when they see each other.

[@oldcrowslanding]

I'm always so impressed by how clean everything is in all your videos. The people seem to be very courteous and mindful of picking up after themselves. 🙂

Qué lindo recorrido. Muchas gracias. Es un tren precioso por dentro y por fuera

Light wasn't too bad I like the color blue. And the scenery along like the temples and the buildings were just so beautiful. And you get that close to the deers and you didn't bring any money to feed them. So mean of you LOL 😆😂

Saudações. Impressionante os detalhes requintados em cada trem do Japão, dando a esse meio de transporte cotidiano também o título de atração turística. Ademais, aprecio o esplendor das obras arquitetônicas proeminentes deste país, que intimidam o tempo e acolhem gerações ininterruptas.
