There is a "4hour-barrier" in Japanese domestic transportation, and generally if the travel time is less than 4hours the Shinkansen, and if more than 4hours airplanes are used more. So the race would have been much more heated if the goal were set in Hiroshima City.

Actually it's the same for most city pairs all around the globe. 4 h is roughly the amount of time, where all the extra time you need for air travel (City->Airport, Security, Boarding, Taxiing x2, De-boarding, Airport->City) pays off. And if there's a 2 h (or less) bullet train connection available, usually flights got ceased quite quickly.

If you needed to take that train and then make a transfer later on, missing the train by 10 seconds means you’re also missing your scheduled transfer. If your transfer is at a smaller station, the next shinkansen train that stops there may not be for another 10-15 minutes. If you’re unlucky, the local/commuter train you’re transferring to may have 20-30 minute headways.

It’s great to see you finally made it to Japan Nicky! So yes, we are quite a cash based society but it’s been changing and you can now use your credit card in about any major store. A mom-n-pop shop would likely still only take cash though. The Suica card you bought with cash at the teller (the card with the penguin) you can actually buy (and top up) at the ticket machines. The machines also have English menus. You can even use the Suica card at konbinis (convenience stores) and some restaurants too. And yes, Japan is incredibly organized. Travel is super efficient and smooth. Airport security treat you with respect (*cough “TSA!”). Even during peak hours the waiting time will only be about 10 minutes, if that. The Shinkansen (bullet train) are actually very quiet even when crowded, as are most trains in Japan. People who talk loudly and disrupt the “peace” are a rare sight. In order to not bother other passengers there are special areas with “phone booths.” The size of the seats are generous, probably similar to premium economy on planes? When traveling domestically, in general, most people fly instead of taking the Shinkansen because it’s cheaper. Taking the Shinkansen is considered to be more of a luxury because of the slightly higher cost and slower travel time. Having said that, nothing beats watching the beautiful Japan scenery whizz by! To be honest, the 100 dollar taxi ride at the end was a bit of a surprise. That is crazy expensive and no resident would pay that amount of money for a taxi. I’m sure there would have been a way from the airport to the shrine by train, which might have taken longer but would be more economical? But of course, this was a race! Loving the vids as always guys and looking forward to the next one!

LOVING Madison's involvement on both TPGUK & TPG. My partner is, her words, "A big Gal" and it's refreshing to see some content that acknowledges such things. It's a legit issue for her. Many PX ( premium economy) seats on international flights are what I call 'solid seats' ( have solid seat divider's & worst still, in-arm tray tables she simply can't use) & they can be an issue for her. CX HKG-BKK was about her limit in a seat like that & she simply hates BA's version even on an LHR-JFK segment. Whilst not a factor in this video I'm glad to see Madison & TPG/UK simply acknowledging that being bigger is a real-word issue for many travellers. Andddddddd just for the haters. My own partners size became an issue after a botched thyroid op. Not through any 'bad lifestyle' & whilst she's made amazing strides in, literally, fighting & reversing the pretty much hardcoded result of a surgical teams f**k up she is a constant inspiration & learning experience for how size affect travel on just about every level. If you're going to be a hater without knowing someones life then tbh I don't really give a sh*t but all the same it's good to shut you down with your presumptive BS before you get going.

I don't have a problem fitting into seats, but i'm not far from that - and it's nice to see what really would be comfortable for someone my size, or around my size. AND - in my teens and 20s I traveled A LOT (was fat back then, too - inherited crappy metabolism and hormonal issues) - representation is awesome and I think it's great for regular-sized folks to see fat folks off doing exciting things & kicking ass, too!

It surely wouldn’t be easy traveling as a very overweight person. But it’s also difficult to travel as a very tall person. Yet you never hear tall people asking for understanding, or extra accommodation or privileges (the days are long gone when exit row seats were given). And people surely never express sympathy for a tall person or the struggles they go through when traveling. Overweight people if determined enough have the ability to transform their body, unlike the very tall. Call me prejudiced but the more sympathetic society is towards clearly unhealthy individuals then the more comfortable and accepted these individuals will feel. And not do what is required to take control of their health❤

I so much appreciate your respecting our culture (not speaking on train and censoring walking people) as I expected to see something uncomfortable I feel often by watching foreign tourists videos. Anyway, the competition btw by plane and Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto is not good challenge. It is simply because there is no Kyoto airport and Osaka Airport is bad at accessing even to Osaka, while Shinkansen stops at the center of Kyoto, so very predictable. I believe you can challenge this next time from Tokyo to Hiroshima, which is just 4 hours access by both transportations.

The big advantage of the Shinkansen is its dedicated track. The trains can break directly from top-speed into the station. Meanwhile in Europe, most high-speed rail infrastructure is in between cities, but not within the cities itself. So once your TGV, AVE or ICE reaches Paris, Madrid or Berlin outskirts, the trains have to use old, shared infrastructure with 80-160 km/h top speed.

All Tokaido Shinkansen trains stop at Shinagawa which is much closer to Shibuya and quicker to get to, and since the Nozomi trains run roughly every 10 mins, she probably could've got an earlier train. It also looks like she got a Hikari, not the faster Nozomi, as the sign was red when she got on, Nozomi is yellow. Also it is acceptable to use the phone in the vestibules (bit at the ends of the carriage where the doors are), and why does she call it the "Nozomi line", Nozomi are the fastest trains (which she didn't even use), along the Tokaido Shinkansen line, there are also Hikari and Kodama which are slower.
