[@Xoic3s]

Not using voice and making the viewer focus only on the video really creates a while different vibe, totally love your videos.

[@dianna0076]

But you know there are subtitles, don't you?

[@TBD901]

The vibe is like going on a trip and making these sorts of observations and remarks to yourself in your head

[@Xoic3s]

@@dianna0076 that's exactly what I'm saying, using subtitles instead of voice

[@dianna0076]

@@Xoic3s oh okay then, I got it wrong, sorry

[@ax3man436]

and subtitles in lots of languages are the best

[@OuijTube]

I don't know why, but seeing the people and even the staff waving good-bye to the train on the platform made me smile so much.

[@windmanv3158]

I love how people on the station are waving as the train goes by. It seems like such a small gesture, but it's really heartwarming in so many ways. Such hospitality and gesture of kindness doesn't exist where I'm from, so it always warms me up when I do see it happen. This was an amazing video, I had a lot of fun watching!

[@sunnyside5225]

“The curtains are as beautiful as the toilet paper at your local school.” 😂🤣😂 I literally guffawed. You are the best. 🥰

[@mattdeeeezy]

Domestic tourism in Japan is really world class. It’s one of the things I miss most about living in Japan. For US$340 you get all of that… makes me want to move back.

[@youngstunnah3750]

All what 😂🤷🏻‍♂️?

[@rafin_]

I LOVE how everyone waves when the train is departing

[@willd202]

Dude. You’re a whole new genre lol. You make us laugh while teaching great travel stuff of Japan. It’s really nice. You make my wife and I smile every time. Thank you 😊

[@centuryrox]

After watching so many of these videos, I'm really starting to like and admire the Japanese people. They're so respectful, friendly, and decent. I hope to someday make a trip to Japan so I can experience it all.

[@ScrewFearMe]

On my first trip to Tokyo I felt like a KING, which was a strange feeling. The best 2 weeks of my life.

[@sliiiin]

Imagine, this was a nation who made massacre to Korea and China during the second world war. They needed to be nuked by USA to stop, and it took them 80 years to get back to normal. What will stop Russians in Ukraine? Who many years they will need to become a normal nation?

[@janetaltybenalmadenacostac3228]

It looks wonderful. I would love to visit Japan.

[@Momoiro-Saran.1111]

私は日本人で50代だけど まだ1度も寝台特急に乗ったことがありません！ せっかくこんなに素晴らしい列車が沢山あるのだから これから乗りたいです🥰

[@slumberlisa]

First of all, you have taught me something. My youngest son and I spent the night in New Orleans last week. As we were leaving our room, without realizing it, I thanked the room for a wonderful stay! Second, I absolutely love your channel. I have binge watched almost every one. America's ferry's, trains, and busses are nothing like what I have seen on your channel. Added to my Bucket List is going to Japan and experiencing some of these amazing things! ❤️

[@cappa1976]

銀河に乗る動画はたくさんありますが、きちんと銀河にtransformされる前の車両内を見せてくれたのはそろそろさん初めてかもしれません。西日本の車両に馴染みの無い視聴者にも気遣いを感じました。

[@trancis_]

I love how enthusiastic everyone is for this new train, especially those guys in the rice fields LOL, hope they got some nice pictures!

[@dh6565]

I don't know exactly what it is,but there is something unique about the 'vibe' that Japan and the People exude.Visiting Japan is high on my bucket list.

[@Rain0ff]

Кто пришёл от канала Юрия Профессионала?!)) А видео интересное, познавательно. Привет Японии из Сибири!

[@beorlingo]

It's so funny how the Japanese avoid interaction, but love to sayonara-wave enthusiastically from a safe distance! 🤣

[@chuckunay2241]

“The curtains are as beautiful as a roll of toilet paper at your local school.” Winner! 👏 🥳 You are a modern day Jack Kerouac brimming with dry humour. I love it! Such a big fan of your videos. It makes me wish that I can just head to Japan and do all the same trips!

一期一会って感じですね！

[@bambi2615]

車窓から見える人が手を振り返して👋くれるのとっても良いですね🎵 素敵な動画を有難う御座います😊

[@user-glg20]

You should think about doing a second channel about eating Japanese food. It's amazing, looks like a ceremony and has a very strong calming and sleeping effect (something like ASMR) 🙂

[@angelsnokko]

手を振るのっていいですよね。数日前にこのチャンネル知りました。即座にチャンネル登録しました。見やすくて自分も旅を楽しんでいる気持ちになります。これからも応援しています📣

[@kevinshumaker3753]

Another great view, review! Best line: "We are somewhere in Japan." Love your humor, too.

[@mortalclown3812]

"Someone waved back!", was my favorite part. Thank you for another wonderful video of your most beautiful country. 🇯🇵🌏🔭💫💙🤗

[@indahprayascita]

it's cute every time the people start to wave back! my heart is full and warm!

[@nyandemonai1095]

The most impressive part is I think this is the first long distance route like this that seems to have something at every stop. Here in usa, they'll only stop at each station for 5 minutes, but over there it seems like they have the time to get off and enjoy whatever local business came to the station that day! Seems so much more fun.

[@mb-watches]

😂Mate I nearly choked when I did read you thoughts about that curtain. As usual great to travel with you. Beautiful train and great before and after comparison. Everytime so relaxing. Thanks for the trip and the foot. Everytime just so relaxing. Have a good start into the new week.

[@seankane8628]

I know Belly Dancers that use less sheer veils than that curtain

[@redvinesron]

"It tastes like clay" SENT me. This guy's sarcasm was too good 💀

[@BETH..._...]

These videos are so incredibly peaceful! Thank you for posting!

[@Grevich]

Особенная атмосфера у ваших видео ❤ ничего подобного раннее не видела. Желаю вам здоровья и процветания!

[@Matre8hka]

26 минут удовольствия! Спасибо вам за видео! Путешествие очень понравилось!

[@fredalkent]

I don't know if anyone has ever noticed this...but...after looking at probably a hundred international train excursions (which all are awesome), there is no trash or garbage on and around the tracks. How delightful.

[@THETRIVIALTHINGS]

I'd be surprised if you haven't done comedy as a profession at least once in your life. Your subtitles are too funny dude hahaha That type of humor is extremely funny for me.

[@manaswitadas6200]

And what a Splendid experience with you again....I dont know if my comment will catch your eyes or not but wanted to say that I never missed a single vlog of yours...and with your wits it becomes all the more enjoyable...just LOVE Japanese people and their incredible culture....already in love with Japan..hope to visit your beautiful country some day....All the Love and Well wishes sending from 🇮🇳 India...

I absolutely adore the culture of waving in Japan, and I loved how excited he was when someone walking by waved back at him! As someone from the southern US i think it's kind of similar to southern hospitality, and it's really interesting to see. Thanks for another great video!

[@kugastravel5180]

Hi, I have many Japan train videos on my channel, check it out!😉

[@huzbaha]

He tried many times before, almost nobody waved back in his previous videos. This video, he got real lucky.

[@Rye_Toast]

Southern hospitality is a thing of the past.

[@albshkup]

They are waving like in the movie called “The Truman Show”

[@alnabulsi313]

@@Rye_Toast It still exists but its always been rooted in a cruel facade.

I'm really looking forward to your channel's subscribers growing to millions so you can make videos of trying trains and capsule hotels abroad! this is my favorite channel!!!!

[@SoloSoloTravel]

thanks keiko, will keep up my work then.

[@gizmogal89]

So lovely how every station seems to have hospitality and souvenirs to offer passengers! In the USA, taking Amtrak (our cross country rail system), if you exited they might leave without you 🤣

[@noahsark342]

Another certified banger 👌 Edit: Seeing the before and after shots of how they modified the train was super interesting and really well edited. Great stuff. (Also, seeing you wave back to all the nice people on the platform was very wholesome 😊)

[@tais006]

26 minutes flew by quietly thanks for the trip

[@Gisecai18]

I discovered your channel recently. I really love it. Sometimes I use the currency converter to find out how much one of your trips would cost me in my country's currency. 😅 I like the subtitles and not the voice, but I wouldn't mind listening to you sometime. 😊 I like to travel through your videos. Thank you! Greetings from Argentina. (sorry for writing with the translator) I hope you understand. 😉🇦🇷

I too hope that masterpiece is immortalized forever. It would easily be worth making a pilgrimage to Japan to see it someday. I was disappointed that we didn't get a rating for that toilet, but I'm guessing it was B-tier at most.

I so wish we could cultivate an experience like this with trains in North America. I think it would be so much fun to go to different small towns, sample the local food that they're famous for, and then sleep peacefully as you roll off to the next town.

Been watching Japan's sleeper trains, and it feels as if I'm travelling with you! hahaha Thank you for sharing your experiences! Been in Japan from 1986 to 2007, and it's amazing how changes were made all these years! I'm all hoping I could go back and visit Japan again! Been in many places mostly onsen hotels on business trips back in time! Been to Akihabara, shinjuku, shibuya, Ginza, Ikebukuro, Tokyo, then innaka toki de, Gunma Ken, Tochigi Ken, Niigata, Gifu Ken, Gero onsen, Takayama, Takarazuka, Nagoya, ect and Osaka. I truly miss Japan! It was my 2nd home for decades! Then I retired and content myself watching Japan over KZbin!
