I'm from the US and during the pandemic I have actually found train travel vlogs incredibly soothing and helpful for my anxiety. I just found your videos a few days ago and have really loved them! I love how much detail you go into and how you often include food in your vlogs. I still have not traveled to Japan but it is on my travel bucket list and your vlogs will be so helpful for good ways to travel around the country, thank you for your content!

[@Jay-mt6nu]

Not just US brother...I think people all around the world who are affected can say that the train travel vlogs/videos very calming...I'm from Bangladesh (south Eastern Asia) and we have it very bad too on this side of the world....these train videos where people make 14-20 or more hours journey overnight are so soothing that since 2020....these types of videos have become a part of my daily routine

Hey, I'm a half japanese guy and I was born in Matsusaka! I've been here for the past month and, when I saw the Marm-Aeon mall in the background while you were eating the Matsusaka beef dish (and yes, that is perfect timing, eating it while passing through Matsusaka), it reminded me of my childhood, I spent so much time there... that place sadly closed 2 weeks ago 😢 Watching your videos, I want to go visit some of these places in summer, after I sort out my personal stuff back in my (other) home country. Thanks for the awesome (and funny) content! P.S I have never been on the Shimakaze, but I have been on all other trains on Kintetsu (from local, semi-express, express, and limited express/tokyu) and I'll have to say, they're the best thing after Shinkansen and genuinely much more convenient, although pricier than JR for a lot of reasons. Best part is, they have 1, 3 and 5 day passes too, so if you ever end up in Mie or Nara prefectures (and Kyoto, Osaka or Nagoya), these can save you a lot of money!
