Taking Japan's OLDEST Bullet Train Shinkansen from Niigata to Tokyo

[@zen1108]

この春まで地元長岡市に住んでいました。ときは修学旅行や就活で何度も乗ったので、車内放送や車窓からの景色がとても懐かしく感じますね……😢 余談ですが、冬場に雪で普通電車が止まった場合は、定期利用者のみ新幹線で代替輸送をしてくれるので、長岡から新潟の通学定期を持っていた私は毎日電車が止まる事を祈ってましたね…懐かしい…

Truly amazing, your "oldest" and "slowest" train is better than anything we have in the US!

[@chellastation]

IKR, that is what I was thinking too

[@magda7194]

cool this slowest train 🤣🤣🤣 I thought it would go 50 KM per hour 🤣🤣🤣 and I like rain clouds too. great video as always. greetings from Poland 😁

[@onyxonyx3809]

I've recently discovered your videos and channel and am hooked! I live in Australia but love Japan and while I cannot visit there right now, I feel like I can experience it through your videos. Thank you. They are so well done. I love your commentary as if it is happening in real time and the jokes you throw in there also are great. Please keep it up if you can! I look forward to seeing more and watching others you have already made. This is the best channel on youtube for Japan travel that I have found.

上越新幹線に乗ったことが無いので、楽しめました。有難うございます。

[@yuckey0216]

上越新幹線にご乗車ありがとうございます！ 自分は新潟県の県央地区の者で東京方面に遊びに行く際は決まって燕三条駅から上越新幹線を利用してました！ 去年までは2階建てのMaxが走っててとても愛着を持ってたので平屋の列車だけになったのは寂しいですね。 2階席から見る車窓は本当に素晴らしかったです！ 来年度にはE7系への車両の統一により275km/hに最高速度が上がるので一気に利便性が上がりそうですね！ ちなみに県外の方ではよく間違える方が多いのですが上越新幹線が走るのは下越地方と中越地方です😅 上越地方は北陸新幹線が走ってますよ！

Nice! Thank you for posting.

This was a relaxing video. Thank you 😊🙏💮

Todays train was very beautiful. Thank you for taking us along! Your Bento looked delicious! I loved the big windows too! I can't wait to visit Japan and try the transportation!

I love the Japan country side. Beautiful. Nice Norman Reedus pic.

[@elcasho]

Brilliant video!

[@adikzzcutie3058]

I been on this Shinkansen before. During Autumn and winter, the view was nice. I feel the speed was reasonable but yeah, the seats looks less attractive compared to other Shinkansen.

[@e2e480]

e2系の座席が前後できるなんて、知りませんでした！ 最古の新幹線でもいろいろな良いところや便利なところがあって、素晴らしいなと思いました！

[@timbounds7190]

I saw that they painted an E2 Shinkansen in the old White and Green livery - looked wonderful! The normal blue and grey livery is very dull. Bet you'd have liked to have travelled on one of the old Double Deck E4 units that used to be on that route!

[@gregoryhaus4115]

Thank you, good job again! I love travel, eat, use accommodation, restaurants and other services with you.

[@paulmark63]

Hi its Paul from Kent love your videos both coaches and trains keep up the great work

[@namratasinharay4968]

The punctuality of Japanese transportation is its best feature. Also the "super" clean bathrooms. On a funny note, the statue of the drunk guy holding a "sake" bottle was super funny 😁.

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip. Looks like there are correlation between window, aerodynamic, and speed. When your train passing Tanigawa Mountain Range, this remembered me about same name in Shinkansen

[@travelgeekphotography]

Yes, they have Tanigawa express!

[@michellemeentemeyer7047]

The view was nice from the train window.

[@kilroe]

Very nice! Love the train!

I liked the bento , it looks yummy 🥰

Bonsoir travelgeek 👋, voyage très agréable avec de beaux paysages. Votre île est vraiment magnifique et fait rêver ❤️, par contre, il fait vite noir ⚫️ chez vous, 17 heures c'est tôt. Même si le shinkanzen est lent la WiFi est rapide 😃. (On ne peut pas tout avoir). Je plaisante. Merci pour cette vidéo et à bientôt ☺️. Prenez soins de vous.

[@travelgeekphotography]

Dernièrement, le soleil se couche plus tôt, donc je n'ai pas beaucoup de temps pour profiter du paysage extérieur😂 Merci pour tout

[@nixone1435]

日本ほど鉄道サービス（路線、車内外設備、サービス等々）が行き届いてる国は稀なんですね。 確かに海外の鉄道が並走しているシーンって映画テレビ動画等で見たことないですね。

E2系は2023年に上越新幹線の定期列車から離脱してしまうので、窓が大きく解放的な車両で田園風景を眺める、なんてことはもうできなくなってしまうんですよね。 その代わり、最新型のE7系へ統一の上で時速275キロ運転を開始して「日本一遅い新幹線」を卒業することになるのですが。

I honestly think taking the slower shinkansens are better, you get to see the scenery more

[@amrullahazif]

It is always been my dream to ride shinkansen..

[@Benjamin_w2025]

Nice

[@Dainter523]

新幹線とき名前は知ってましたが、速度は遅いんですねだけどその分ゆっくりできていいなぁと感じます。

[@こうじ-x5q]

上越新幹線のＥ２系は来年の春引退なので乗車できてよかったですね😄

[@haramomo]

厳密にいえば、山陽新幹線を走る500系が営業列車としては最古ですね(2022/11時点)。 現在上越新幹線として運用されているE2系は後期型(1000番代)で、2001年～製造分です。

[@FindBp]

0:46 looks like Hikarian, its a mecha shinkansen anime.

[@notreyf]

For some reason I thought wasabi would taste really weird. When I tried some here in the UK it tasted very similar to our horseradish. Delicious.

[@redfish337]

"Wasabi" is usually just horseradish, with food coloring and maybe a couple other ingredients mixed in. Even in Japan, though more stuff may have some % of wasabi in it. If you go to a more serious restaurant in Japan (and rarely abroad) they'll give you a wasabi stem and a grater, or grate it in front of you. This proves it's the much more expensive stuff. But it's also because the flavor brought out by the grating only lasts for about the length of time it would take to eat the meal. If you like horseradish you should probably also like wasabi, though you might not necessarily like it more.

[@notreyf]

@@redfish337 Hi Redfish337. It would be very interesting to try the grated variety. I'm hoping to travel to Japan next year, I'll remember your advice. Thank you.

2023年3月には上越新幹線も最高時速275㎞運転するから、速達化してサービスが行き届いてる事になったらこの上なく便利ですね。 ただ、代償としてE2系1000番台とオサラバしなければならないのはとても寂しいですが…

Your videos are very interesting to watch. Not only do I live in Texas so I don’t get to see things like this, I live in the country in a town with a population of about 300.

[@noelf3312]

I believe if trains not punctual, accidents might happen because there are so many lines.

[@enne-ronvanpoelgeest73]

Great trip again. How many traincompany's are there in Japan?

[@travelgeekphotography]

There are tons of companies that i can't even count haha. But basically Japan Railways(JR) and private railway companies.

[@much6507]

JRだけで7個もあります

[@socks_cat356]

There are 7 former national railway companies and 9 private railway companies. However, I think that the total number of companies that are mixed with second-tier companies, third-sector railways, monorails, etc. exceeds 200 companies.

[@renee3505]

I enjoy the low key video's they focus on the topic at hand and don't try to jam it full of other subjects. However, I would like a bit more of side stories, more snacks and eating, things to see and do, a bit more commentary, personal opinion. As an english speaker and one not a speaker of Japanese, how in the heck could I enjoy to do what you do in Japan?

[@onezstone]

E2 Shinkansen build in Kawasaki heavy industry? 🤔

[@sam39410ify]

Japanese corporations have a lot other businesses. That's why some train companies also happened to be real estate and retail companies as well.

[@ErosMorelli]

A Bullet Train can be slow? Haha
