Not only is the $100 price tag on the compartment a great deal if you travel with your family, but for certain places in Europe if you book even just a regular 1st class seat in an open design carriage that might already run you those same ~90 Euros (for the same 3 hour journey) without any of the privacy, without the guaranteed windows seat, no real table etc. so I consider this a phenomenal deal.

[@ebx100]

Kuga-san, you are getting less shy in your later videos. Originally, we didn't see you at all. This progressed to seeing the back of your head, and now a brief glimpse of you napping. I know shyness is often an Asian trait, but it's nice to see you do cameos in almost every video now.

[@tomburns7544]

It looks like you were riding in your own private train! 😀Thank you for another great video, Kuga! 👍

[@dcrom]

You see, dear Kuga! Adversity leads to relaxation....What a beautiful train this is. Wowza, indeed!✌🤟

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip. Thankfully this trip still possible after cancellation at noon schedule.

[@jackmedcalf6254]

I never thought much about traveling to Japan, but after watching your videos, discovering Japan by train is at the top of my list!!! What a beautiful country!!!! Thank-you so much for posting such wonderful videos!!!

[@bobhepburn2307]

Another well done video. Keep up the good work!

[@helene2573]

Merci beaucoup pour vos vidéos, ça remonte le moral. ❤❤❤❤. C'est un très beau pays

[@honza_simi]

amazing videos. Cozy yet adventurous. I always learn something new yet it makes me feel nostalgic when I close my eyes and hear all the familiar noises which I've been surrounded by when I visited Japan ❤ Keep it up!

[@amiens1965]

merci beaucoup jolie voyage

[@DLeadVox]

💛💛💛 Oh! What a beautiful train! I don't know anything about video games but the decor rsmi ds ms of American mid century turn modern. The lighting is lovely too, especially at night. You are so handsome, it's nice to see our host in his videos! Thank you for the lovely trip. DD☮️

[@sofisabah648]

Very delightfulvideo,I enjoyed it very much..

[@little_grey_mouse]

That taiyaki looked soooooo good.

[@Pstanich]

I enjoyed the ride

[@tara607]

Yes 🤗

[@kge420]

Today we ride on Japan's square wheeled train.

[@Balance-v8x]

I love your sense of humour and how you always say thanks for the food and for everything else, you are a kind soul. ❤

[@leonkennedy1352]

heart of gold person for doing all these awesome videos for us kuga fans and train buffs out there💛🚅🚄. like rick steves says KEEP ON TRAVELING

[@fish7128]

good comments

[@neilwilliams7479]

Fare is cheaper than UK Cardiff to London 1st Class Single £129 (Yen 23,478 😰😢😢😢). Looks a nice journey lovely countryside.Seems you enjoyed but not my favourite prefer maki sushi and desert sorry Mr Doughnuts our Dunkin Doughnuts custard filled doughnuts 😋

[@dianamarie5663]

Love your jokes. And yes, the food is my favorite part.

[@kristaaustova9743]

Děkuji za projížďku

[@Gokiburi777]

Takoyaki wa oishii desu. Toki ni Osaka de tsukutta takoyaki.

[@MarlonJosephdelaCruz]

Wow I did not know you're showing your face now 😅

[@equaltoreality8028]

The price you paid for the trip sounds like single day return in the UK.

[@cathykinn4516]

The first train looked like a Beluga Whale, the 2nd like Darth Vader - nice to see trains with character!👍 The Shinkansen's are Moomintroll lookalikes. Such nice trains in Japan, a lot of thought goes into the design, made for Human Beings. Lucky Japanese!

[@SuchagoonUTube]

Quite a train. However, the tracks are not good. It sounds like something in the U.S. where they do not weld the seams. You hear and feel every track section. Quite a quality contrast: Bentley on a road filled with potholes.

[@Vinod-cz7sn]

Different country next time? Which country are you traveling to this time? :-)

[@TheSleepLes]

Very nice compartment. No wonder it costs so much. Still worth it for the experience. Spoken like a hedonist, eh?

[@cherylsemrau7100]

They should taken care of the tree very quickly so your train wouldn't be canceled.

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

There is no reason nor reasonable excuse why the U.K. cannot have trains like this - looking at these trains and looking at the current poor state of the U.K. rail network, by comparison I can only react with despair and frustration at how bad our trains are here in the U.K. - clearly, radical action is needed to bring the U.K. rail network up to these acceptable international standards

[@melo6823]

I feel the same way about our Canadian trains. Like how backwards are we in comparison?

[@AJ-wg7fj]

Small, homogenous societies are able to more effectively manage public institutions, and private institutions that are communal in nature. The US, for example, is a mess because its people continue to try to pretend it’s one large society, and can’t get anything done because of it. If the US realized that they only really needed to collectively work together on key things that are intrinsically collective in nature, the results might be better. But instead, things like Amtrak are outdated garbage because everyone is warring for those dollars for everything under the sun.

[@JamieC101]

And the price too. $100 compared to the £ is what? £75-80. For 3-4 hours in basically a hotel room on tracks? That's as much as I'd pay to sit in some uncomfortable seat stained with...lord knows what, in a carriage that stinks of the chavs a few seats down puffing on weed.

[@DeniseArmstrong-u1b]

And American

[@chinaman1]

Continue to vote your current group of politicians. You'll continue to get your version of trains!

[@saskiapanter]

Thanks for sharing, I was wondering, did you get a refund for the 3 hour delay?

[@lostrider6610]

The compartment looks like it need an urgent renovation.

[@JebbAdams]

Awesome vid trip Kuga!

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

5:17 I can easily see this type of train being excellent, even if travelling solo, on a direct service from Manchester Victoria or Manchester Piccadilly to Holyhead here in the U.K. and even better if there was a high speed rail tunnel under the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin in Ireland

[@Michael-iw3ek]

omg can I rent it and just live there?

[@AnxMa]

Such a cool channel. I was so close to visiting Japan one point myself. I had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit Asia.

[@knife6969]

That is very cool to hear! I am a big fan of resident evil franchise and I love Japan so hearing your story I feel bad for you

[@AnxMa]

@@knife6969 Hi, thank you for saying that.

[@englishatheart]

I hate the look of remake "Leon." He went from sexy a.f. to looking like a college frat boy, and not an attractive one. 😂 So they definitely would have been better using you.

[@AnxMa]

@@englishatheart Thanks so much for saying that. I agree as far as the old Leon is concerned. In the original they gave him that cool Jason Bourne-like style. A normal guy with some pretty cool abilities and training.

[@aRVeesBlog]

must be a nice experience

[@YodaIamnot1981]

They should have bargained with you on the price of the room on the train as well Kuga-san. Awesome train and awesome video!

[@BobbyTanDowd]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@tomthomas2268]

can't believe the price, such a bargain compared to my country

[@Yugilover1]

Kuga you should come to kansas

[@Solarlube]

WEW. 13:03:2024. Wayne, from Ballarat in Victoria, Australia. A great ride thank you for sharing.

[@veronicacrabtreehill6608]

I lived in Australia in the 1960s. We travelled across the Nullabor in both directions. The first time going on the Southern Aurora up to Sydney from Melbourne. Our cabins had a shower in so we did not have to march up and down the corridor. The reverse journey we had the double-decker train. Our cabin was smaller on this one though. We travelled through Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. I believe there is a different track these days That was a great memory for me. Thanks.

[@JCT75]

I know Ballarat- from a Sherlock Holmes story.

[@jeanbaptistechevalier8776]

it gets a little louder on the train...

[@littlemiss_76]

Snazzy compartment, it looks like it could be used on a sleeper train

[@iansuehooper7542]

The cost of that train ride was definitely worth it. The front of the train and that black finish would be very much appreciated by Darth Vader from Star Wars!! Loved that red table in the compartment, wonderful finish, the origami idea was inspired.

[@appolop8273]

Is there food on the train, or did you bring food yourself?

[@Floortile]

Train cancelled because of a fallen tree on the track? Are you sure you weren’t filming in England? “Leaves on the line” is a common excuse here - though a fallen tree would be a super treat to cancel a train!

[@sapphireseptember]

Leaves on the line is concerning though. It makes the tracks so slippery that even if the driver brakes the train will slide, fine if a bit scary, until you go into the back of another train as happened on Halloween 2021*. Poor driver had life changing injuries. 😟 Although there was a train in Scotland recently that did crash into a tree on the line. The daughter of the woman who's tree it was (her garden backed onto the tracks) phoned up to report it, but no one thought to pass the message on. Ten minutes later along comes the train, although the driver had the presence of mind to dive behind his chair and escaped injury, and no one else was injured, at least not severely. Edited as I put Halloween 2020, when it was actually Halloween 2021. There was a crash in August 2020 as well, where three people sadly died. Had it not been during lockdown it may well have been a lot worse.

[@MYUSATRAVELS]

LIKE!!

[@tylerperry8688]

Kuga-san your videos have a very Japanese form of minimalism which I came to love. I started to watch your videos for the trains but now I watch them for the ambient sounds. I really love that you avoid any music or effects and prefer stillness as much as possible. Sometimes you place your camera in angles which reminds me of Ozu's movies. Thanks to your videos I know how it feel like living in Japan without even setting foot there 🙂

[@latui7350]

Airplanes could never!

[@theharper1]

You say it looks like a company president's office, but the first thing I thought of when I saw the curved bench seat was "karaoke booth". 😅

[@Abnerbandanovotempoinscrito1mi]

Boa viagem bom video bom trabalho de trem

[@luvaluvaproductions]

2:20 inspired by BMW 😃

[@tastylemonade]

kuga you absolute legend

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Beautiful.

[@phoebesmith9089]

How can they afford to run a train that’s half empty?

[@stevendaniel8126]

What is the source of the loud, banging noise ?

[@dictare]

It's the sound of the wheels falling into the gaps where the rails are joined.

[@markshumaker4135]

this is the 1st video ive watched of yours where i have seen your face!!!

[@Tscharlieh]

Do you get any compensation due to the delay?

[@nancytalbert1978]

Why can this train go but the other one couldn’t ?

[@Interstellar5252]

The Train Looks like a bmw

[@seven_hundred-seven_hundred]

Very nice. Thank you.

[@shaalis]

What a handsome train!

[@briand1115]

Kangaroo 🦘

[@MishMash22]

What a beautiful clean place Japan is. No litter, no spitting and no yobs/beggars wandering about. And the train fares are great value.

[@neilwilliams7479]

Thanks

[@kugastravel5180]

Thank you!🤝

[@SEANALPURVIS]

Thanks for another great job today KugaSan! I hope one day to ride these trains. Til then thanks for taking us along!

[@elsa1271]

Gracias por tu hermoso video! El contratiempo inicial te deparo una increíble sorpresa por la buena voluntad de quienes te dieron.esa habitación privada tan elegante y cómoda! Que bueno dormir allí esa noche lluviosa!!!😊

[@opahelmilp4313]

👍

[@LearnAIWithRJ]

Are you a full time KZbinr or you also have a part time job. How are you able to afford all these things.

[@Марина-ъ5х8ц]

Я в восхищении. Желаю вашей стране дальнейшего процветания. Привет из России.

[@S_Paoli]

OH MY GOD! I saw that compartment before! It was in an "exercise" video. I assume the train company didn't know about it or the man and the woman would have been kicked off the train? Strange name for a Japanese video production company even when they are not located anywhere near the Caribbean....

[@metternich05]

FFS Kuga please stop adding country code prefixes to video title, esp. with no separation, it makes the title downright illegible. Japan culture is famous for attention to detail, I can't beleive you find it a good idea to deliberately ruin your video titles. Hurts your search ranking and hurts your viewers' experience.

[@senior_ranger]

Looks and sounds old.

[@knife6969]

Just like you and your username.

[@allentoyokawa9068]

Still nicer and more modern than any train you got in your country!

[@paulturner1535]

Pointed table top could be round and safer. Couch seat stuffing seems to be crushed. Pls, explain in English what main course was?
