I love this longer format! Seeing the whole trip, including the cherry blossoms, hotels, restaurants and observatory was wonderful! Awesome video

[@karenharrison885]

Truly a lovely poem.. i thought of my own country and secret spots where few tourists venture. May we keep our secrets still. Sending secret love from Perth Australia

[@FleetAd]

Thank you, Mister Solo Duck, for documenting all of your journeys, both expensive and budget friendly. As someone who is coming to terms with the fact that I may never travel internationally ever again in my entire life, your content brings me the peace and happiness that I wish I could get from actually doing it myself. Thank you, for letting us live vicariously through you.

[@Beacon09]

Solo duck?? loved that word man😂

[@storiedworlds6261]

I always wanted to ride on the Cassiopeia when I lived in Japan but couldn’t afford it. Then I heard it got retired. 😢 Glad that they still use it for special trips. Thanks for sharing your experience. I really enjoyed your poem.

[@connienelson1515]

The scenery from the observatory after you got up was gorgeous. I am American and wish I could come there in the spring but I am too old for that kind of traveling so I shall enjoy it through your videos. Thanks so much for making them.

[@tvoyaSolanka]

You never "too old" for things you wanna do. We live just once, so we must try everything we want. I wish you happy and wonderful life.

[@yeic7434]

If you can walk you can travel! Too old is a bad excuse to not see these amazing cultures and nature

[@patfast]

New upload!!! Dude, I discovered this channel only 2 weeks ago, and I've already blown through every single video. They're incredibly calming and nonintrusive so I like to listen to them on my other monitor while I study. I can't thank you enough for making these videos, hands down one of the best channels out there!

[@andyr0ck]

Yeah, been there myself...so stoked to wake and see there was a new one! 🥳

[@courtypoo1162]

Same, but found him last year. Very relaxing and somehow soothing.

[@katewilliams4876]

[@ceridwen888]

Thanks for chasing the cherry blossom to apple land and sharing the journey.

[@canetis9077]

🤝 Спасибо за безмолвный рассказ о чудесном гастрономическом путешествии в комфортных условиях достижений технического прогресса ( хороший релакс), за яркие впечатления от чарующего цветения сакуры, пейзажей на фоне пламенеющего заката, вида величественной горы Фудзи. Благодаря звукам, сопровождающим путешествие возникает ощущение реального участия в нем, а отсутствие голоса за кадром создаёт впечатление «телепатического»общения.

[@raquelsimplesassim]

❤ Concordo fielmente. Excelente comentário! ❤💯❗

[@GPwithme]

You could travel to the inside of a dark closet and I’d still watch because your narration is flipping genius. Gets better every time. That poem. And the random quick shots of your crane game pug. I’m 💀🤣♥️

For now, this is the best video for me so far.. It's been an hour like 10 minutes and I think that says it all..

[@winstonpx]

That observation window is worth way more than $1600, especially on such a historic train! It was fun riding this with you.

[@gizmogal89]

The poem was really sweet, a great touch ☺️👍👍 What a cool train journey to Aoimori! And the sightseeing was lovely too. Thanks as always for a wonderful video! 👍👍

This “old” train looks newer than the current ones in the USA.

[@OverseerMoti]

That is the beauty of not cutting corners when it comes to maintenance.

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

A capitalistic government system is based on taking, but not on giving. One must learn to understand that!

[@kikyochan66]

I agree. Amtrak trains are old. I just booked a journey from Seattle to LA in a sleeper car, it’s so expensive, but the train looks like it’s from 1970s. We need better infrastructure

[@nicak777alex9]

​​​​@@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522 lol Americans are so ignorant. Did you miss the price of 1500 euros ? I guess that's not capitalistic to you. You are either too rich or too dumb. Not to mention the place he went is literally a tourist trap. Americans have become the enemies of the world due to sheer ignorance of how it works.

[@useruser0000]

​@@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522wise words, and the truth!!

[@spidermangy5514]

Путешествие просто шикарное, всё молча рассказал, понятно без слов и лишних эмоций.Одно только удивило-такие большие порции еды, неужели за один раз можно столько в себя вместить, что в поезде, что в городском ресторане!

[@violantederojas6188]

Thank you for letting us ride along on your trip - the poem was nice, the views thru the windows was fantastic!

[@tatyanaidayatova1469]

Я смотрела с интересом ваше путешествие. Спасибо за возможность ознакомиться с частью японской жизни - путешествиями. Больше всего понравилась гора Фудзи. ( ?). Жаль, что можно было увидеть её только издалека ! Еды было более чем достаточно. и она , наверное, неплоха, но я бы с большим удовольствием побывала на Фудзи . Красота природы - это несомненный приоритет в путешествии, на мой взгляд. Еще раз спасибо!

[@silvercelebi]

always enjoy your sense of humor, seriously very very funny and really great to vicariously live through your experiences

I have to say you are getting very lucky in your Mt. Fuji recordings this trip. The clarity is remarkable.

[@gaolen]

i know, its quite rare to see it from such a large distance

[@Malaika924]

That wasn't Mt. Fuji. Mt. Fuji is on the southern end of Honshu; he was at the northern end.

[@Cathay3520]

the view of Mt. Fuji is really nice

[@gaolen]

@@Malaika924 i think thats the whole joke

[@andyr0ck]

Yeah, that's Mt Iwaki (I *think*). Still stunning to look at though, and is a stratocone very much in the shape of Fuji and had that lovely half-snow-covered vibe when I saw it.

[@wisecanadianwoman]

Spectacular views of Mt. Fuji and the cherry blossoms were beautiful. ❤
