Nagoya to Osaka by New Type Express Train HINOTORI

[@KarmaFlight]

The view of the Engineer operating the train is awesome!

[@osakablinladen]

i would hate to drive this train imagine getting constantly stared at at work

[@paularvozm]

In Germany we have high speed trains going up to 320 km/h where you can watch the driver if you sit in the front row. And its not even first class or anything.

[@briansivley2001]

I would definitely be up front and watching the Engineer do his thing😁😁😁😁😁😁😁. And see the scenery from the front obviously lol.

[@Nynke_K]

@@paularvozm I was going to point that out! I once rode an ICE to Stuttgart, I think, and accidentallyended up at the front right behind the driver. Best train ride ever until that point in my life! And then the driver turned the windows between us opaque! So frustrating 😅

[@paularvozm]

@@Nynke_K They do that sometimes when certain drivers dont want to get distracted by excited passengers. They also do that when they hit something so passengers dont need to see anything traumatizing just in case

[@PaliAha]

I travel too. Japan is the best country for efficiency, modern conveniences like trains, and for having the most polite people in the world.

[@RagnarCzerwony]

The image of the most polite nation in the world results from the Japanese attitude towards work and religion and the fact that their politeness is in fact a ritual of some kind, not something that would come from the bottom of the heart. These issues must be viewed in the context of Japanese historical experience, value system and other socio-political factors. The ruthless rule of successive monarchs, death penalty for even minor offenses, absolute obedience of the subjects to authority. Moreover the US occupation after the Second World War helped Japan to recover from the crisis and develop a fantastically built economy, with a hard work of its citizens. If Japan got under the Chinese or Russian sphere of influence, the communist governments would probably do with this country a terrible things, resulting a similar situation like today have the countries like Poland or Czech Republic. Paradoxically, the Japanese should be "grateful" for the American invasion and occupation (ofc historically Japan were with the Nazis and attacked first, so should be grateful they were not wiped out completely from the planet Earth by Americans and the rest of peaceful world), because it allowed them to develop the economy to the present state so quickly and efficiently. The Russians and Chinese would not allow it.

I lived in Osaka for 2 years as a singer at Universal Studios Japan. This brought back many fond memories. Thank you for posting these videos.🙂

[@Shanaoh]

Idk if I’ve ever seen you in USJ, but I must say that I love the singers there. They have one of the most talented singers that I’ve heard of. If you were a singer there, you have my respect.

[@Indrakusuma_a]

That red paint outside is definitely gorgeous. Love how the ambience light is not only for esthetic but also functional. The train driver deck looks so grandiose.

It really is a handsome train. I think it would look equally good in a deep blue or green as well.

What a lovely train and video! Yes, it does remind one of the Thalys. When we went to Europe we took the Eurostar from London to Paris, and then the Thalys from Paris to Amsterdam. Both great trains to ride in! I, too, miss Europe. Thank you for sharing these rides with us!

The Kintetsu Limited Express train is what I used to catch when I lived in Minoh, Osaka to go and see my sister who lived in Kuwana, Mie~ thanks for the train ride down memory lane ☺️

[@smartrice3323]

in early 1997, I was travelling from Osaka to Nagoya in a snowy day and JR Shinkansen was shut down due to snow between Kyoto and Nagoya. so i took Kintetsu line from Nankai Namba to Nagoya, this journey was more than 4 hours (ltd exp) and was once a lifetime experience.

[@ashakydd1]

I would love it if, when the present Shinkansen trains retire from use, if they made the new ones more like this. I love the huge windows as, whenever I am in the train, I am always watching the countryside go by.

[@toddmuller2223]

As always, another wonderful and relaxing video

[@brucetownsend691]

What a great train! I have always though that trains in Japan are a great way to travel and it is amazing just how much they keep getting better and better. The route is also very interesting. The Osaka Namba station is right in the heart of the touristy part of Osaka and would be very convenient for many travellers. I don’t know if I will ever take this train but I would be very pleased if it comes up as a convenient way to get to Namba or Nagoya one day. Thanks for another well crafted video.

[@kittybkk4721]

great stuff, love all these alternate travel options between the major cities. would have never heard of them otherwise, hopefully get to try this one. the fresh coffee onboard wins it over for me.

[@hcguyz]

I rode Kintetsu from Osaka to Nagoya before Hinotori debuted, and I'd say it was better worth than Shinkansen just considering the cheaper price and the beautiful mountain scenery. And it's more convenient if you live in southern side of Osaka. I'll definitely ride Hinotori when I get the chance in the future!

[@youngraines851]

So many memories - but we've never the slower train rides. It was so rushed - see here, see there; be here & be there. Wish we could return & stay for awhile. Japan is always so very clean & so well-organized a country. Always loved it even tho' we're foreigners.

The most soothing thing ever is the tune that plays before announcements in trains and train stations in Japan. I don't think we have any melodious ones like that over here in India, they're just like sudden screams... Or maybe it's like that where I'm from...

[@user-jb4ei7rw7p]

India is not gonna reach the level of Japan even after a 1000 years. Just think about it, if we had vending machines like in Japan over here, people will loot the whole thing including the container. It's the mentality of the people that makes them the way they are. We saw how people broke the LCD screens from the superfast train here in the first few days itself.

[@Xxxypher]

I get amazed by the simplest of things, for example the arm rest sliding forward to reveal a cup holder or the seat having a heating function. My favourite part though has to be how you can look into the driver's cabin from your seat - I would be fascinated by that!
