Shinkansen Bullet Train Experience in Japan (Tokyo→Kyoto)

[@richardauchmoody6248]

This brings back fond memories. I was stationed with the US Air Force in Japan 1969-1972. In the spring of 1970 I took the Shinkansen From Tokyo to Kyoto to attend the Cherry Blossom Festival. Although this was 50 years ago, I recall the train being similar to the one in this video.

[@Tokax]

Ahh u took the 0 series didn’t u

[@richardauchmoody6248]

@@Tokax I don't recall what series it was.

[@eduardoblancas8452]

I think you took the Grand Hikari 100 series. The livery of the 100 series looks similar to the N700 series, but the blue line covers the windows.

[@chafeespike545]

Japanese trains always come on time, so it's amazing.

Never ceases to amaze me at the level of order, structure, efficiency and cleanliness in Japan. Something the rest of the world can learn from.

[@paulm.newitt3246]

I rode this line from Tokyo to Kyoto back in 1971 (age 15), when I attended the 13th World Boy Scout Jamboree. I love Japan, and the people there are wonderful!!! So sad that America doesn't have trains as nice (and as fast!) as the Shinkansen..

[@syifangaming6835]

Wow world scout jamboree how cool is that!?

[@PanixATK]

Thanks for sharing. I’m from London, UK and have visited Japan about 3 years ago. I took that same route from Tokyo to Kyoto. Very comfortable and very fast trip. I visited at the end of September so it was cloudy at the time. I didn’t get to see Mount Fuji, just the base. I hope to visit Japan again once all these pandemics and lockdowns ease.

[@qhubbles]

It's just incredible the pulchritude of everything we see. The machines are so clean, free from scratches, grafittis... the seem to be brand new! Just as the vending machine in mint condition. Wow. It's always impressive.

[@mr_mike365]

I love Shinkansen trains. Fast and clean. Maybe a bit expensive but worth their money. Of course always on time. Can't get enough from these kind of videos.

[@thomassmall990]

I really love the way Kuga's video makes me feel like I'm there in Japan riding the Shinkansen with him. Kuga shows the Amenities on board the Shinkansen in a Clear and concise manner. I can feel Kugas Pride in his Country. The delicious Japanese food, the Emaculately Clean and modern facilities on the train would cause anyone to want to experience this First hand.

[@krisanagrasair1038]

I usually buy a JrPass when I visit Japan because a lot cheaper and I learned how to take a subways 🚊 as well. I have been to Japan 3 times and I still wanna go back. I can’t wait for Japan to open a border for tourists.

[@adimasguntur]

Yeah. You can never get enough of Japan :)

[@shizukamori6755]

You'll have a long wait. Maybe till next year's autumn.

[@Thomas-lk5cu]

I've been there 3 times as well! I don't like the JR Pass though, it's quite inconvenient because it's restricted to JR lines only. We often find ourselves closer to stations belonging to other operators, with the dilemma of walking greater distances and save money OR walk shorter distances and save time. Time is precious when in Japan I think, so we always go with the most convenient option for transportation. I can't wait to go back there either!

[@shizukamori6755]

@@Thomas-lk5cu "Restricted to JR lines only" ? That's why it's called a JR Pass. Duuuhh....

[@adimasguntur]

@@Thomas-lk5cu well, it kinda really2 helps, since most cities have JR line. But the true shine of JR Pass is for a railfans, like me :) Imagine unlimited train ride, hop in hop out, just taking random trains and then go back again, picking shinkansen based only by its color, only just to get lost in Japan. Damn, such a good days. Will surely do that again after all this COVID-19 passed.

Stumbled on this channel by accident, and this bring back memories! I did research in Kyoto daigaku for a year back in late 90s,and took a few trips using the Shinkansen to Tokyo! It was an amazing experience! While the stations and surroundings are more modern, the train platforms are still the same ! I love this!

[@kugastravel5180]

What a coincidence! I graduated from Kyoto University few years ago :)

[@MattHalpain]

[@watchhans]

Since 1989 I have visited Japan on a regular basis. My last trip started exactly today last year on a flight from Munich, Germany, to Osaka, continuing by Nozomi-train to Nagoya. From Nagoya I used my pre-purchased Japan Railpass to visit various places in Japan, as far as Niigata, on day-trips. Except Sapporo, where I took the very first flight from Nagoya and returned on the last flight in the evening. It was an amazing journey! I enjoyed it very much, especially all the various, delicious food, from very good Okonomiyaki in Nagoya to fresh Sushi in Niigata! Unfortunately Japan is still closed for tourists from the EU, so I am not able to visit your country this year 😔 Your videos satisfy my wanderlust to visit Japan, as long as I am not able to visit again! Thank you very much! どうもありがとう！

Hi Kuga, thank you for this lovely video! I enjoyed it from the first second on till the very last one. Special thanks for the length of the video!!! That Shinkansen ride was so relaxing; the clean, quiet cars and that scenery along the way.... I would happily switch places with that green tea bottle of yours ;-) All your videos have such a serene vibe to them. It's just pure pleasure to watch and relax. I really appreciate the extra work you put in with the subtitles, they are just perfect! Not too many to distract, but descriptive enough to not miss out on what"s important in that moment :-)

This is so nice to see. I went to Tokyo with friends in summer 2017 and loved the efficiency of the train system. Next on my list for Japan is Kyoto. I'm either thinking of flying into Nagoya or Osaka and taking a train there or possibly flying into Tokyo and taking a train from there.

We are selling as much as possible and saving every penny to help with that move. With any amount of luck at all we MAY be ready to pull the trigger by the end of the year.
