[@spidernevi]

Japan is way ahead of time. Actually convenient convenience store where you can buy a complete dinner, and not only your ordinary bento but a heated bento! A wide range of transportation choice, this bus is literally a moving hotel. I have no problem sleeping in a bus but I'm sure I'll like these sleeper buses a lot. Your channel helps me satisfy my desire to travel in Japan

[@gabe9346]

[@thebluest_blue1145]

At least in Australia, the heated bentos can be bought in most Asian supermarkets! Though the ones I've seen require you to manually pour cold water on a heat sachet, not as convenient as just pulling a string. Quite pricey, the taste is similar to microwaveable frozen meals, but they're great for getting a hot meal on eg long roadtrips

[@ZeroGT_]

@Solo Solo Travel i remember finding your channel shortly after you started it. i was fresh out of the hospital after first brain surgery and i couldn't get comfortable in my bed. i could only get comfortable in my computer chair to sleep. your videos helped distract me from the pain and helped me relax before sleeping. i always looked forward to the next one and i still do. thank you!

[@jednrrp]

i hope you are more comfortable now (:

[@RonLaws]

Congrats on 1 year :D I love watching these videos because tourist information always focuses on the main events and cities like Tokyo and very little information is given about the transportation you may need or want to take to visit different places; your videos give a nice, relaxing first person view of that experience and allow us to at least partially experience the different transport options should we ever choose to visit and ride on them ourselves - valuable information that we seldom get to see! great work.

to be honest, in my understanding of the "sleeping bus" presented each separate room with a disassembled bed. But on such chairs, too, it is much better to ride than on sitting places. I think that such buses are chosen by those who want to travel comfortably and rested during the trip to places where no trains and airplane. It was interesting to see this review, thanks!

As a person with autism and other neurological issues, being left alone for the entire journey, with no one else watching or trying to talk to you, is my idea of heaven!❤ And for the same reason LOVE that your videos are silently narrated by the text and there’s no presenter talking loudly - we just hear all the natural sounds of the journey. This is a brilliant concept, but also perfect for people like me who can find it overwhelming when people are talking on top of other sounds. On the contrary, this video was rather relaxing to watch.
