@maureenackerley8024 I love your type of introvert-the ones who tell everyone, happily advertise how introverted they are, and don't understand irony. HAHAHA! All joking aside, in my country introverts are perceived as private and reserved, I'm guessing you're an American introvert.

[@sendi_sen]

5:31 “The train departs as scheduled.” While seemingly redundant for Japan, I like liking these videos at this point.

[@nevsforest]

it is somewhat wholesome to know that the Japanese train-loving community exists and they like to see trains combine and separate.

[@anokata-kd8oc]

25:07 I absolutely love this announcement: It's useful and convenient, informs people about the culture and tradition and let the people know where they are. We need this ones in Germany.

[@Shirumoon]

We need sleeper trains in general in Germany. I mean we have ones going out of the country but I'd like to travel from one side of the country to another and be able to rest, that would be wonderful.

[@timford3599]

What a lovely trip, very relaxing. Japanese culture is so neat, clean and orderly. Thank you Kuga for taking me along for this beautiful journey. Your videography is very professional and presents an objective look into a delightful means of travel.

He's one the biggest Yakuza members in Japan. They make money in mysterious ways.

[@may.gemini02]

His videos get enough views for KZbin to be paying him for it. So he probably uses that to continue many trips

[@Pablo_Anunnaki]

Or maybe he just works. But I don't know why but I think it is thanks to his parents.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

A similar thought crossed my mind, about the means to travel often and comfortably--- but then I stifled it because I knew that it was envy rearing its petty little head. :) Someone else might say "Must be nice ..." and I think I ought to say "Glad the experience is being shared".

Maybe its sponsored by the train company

I lived in Korea for thirty years... always loved going to the mountains for hiking and bathing in the hot springs.

First time viewer and I’ll be watching the rest of your video. We’re planning on coming to Japan in 2025 and we love to travel by train. Watching your trip enlightened us to the shower ticket needs to be purchased immediately along with a sleeper room. The views of your country on this particular trip was wonderful because we live in snow country and I love the snow. Can’t get over how clean your stations are but you are a proud people who have respect for your country. Thank you again and I’m looking forward to my next travel experience with you!

Большой привет из России. Вы отличные снимаете видео. В России очень большие расстояния. ПОЕЗД Маршрут "Москва-Владивосток" самый длинный не только в России, но и в мире! Его протяженность - 9 288 км. Время в пути из Москвы во Владивосток - 144 часа 10 минут, из Владивостока в столицу - 145 часов 59 минут. Вам нужно приехать в Россию и проехать на поезде по всей России и снять видео.

Thank you for this video. I’ve never experienced snow in my life and am fascinated with it. The scenery from your window looked like a winter wonderland ❄️ 🩵

[@laurenransford7638]

This is a fun video. Thank you for posting it. If I can point out a small error in the English translation, you said “can withdraw their defeat on the vending machine.” It made me chuckle when I realized the translation should have been “take out their defeat.” “Take out” does sometimes mean “withdraw,” like when you take out cash from an ATM machine. Here, though, it means to treat someone or something badly to feel better about something negative that happened to you. Like “he took out his anger at losing his job on his pillow by punching it until all the feathers came out.” It’s a small error, and made me smile. Sorry if it’s already been said in the comments. Thank you again!
