24 Hours in a First Class Room on Japan's Sleeper Train 😴🛏 West Express Ginga | Solo Travel Vlog

The West Express Ginga (WEST EXPRESS 銀河 in Japanese) is Japan's newest sleeper train. Luckily, I was able to book this time, so I stayed in a First Class private room for 24 hours. It's a little pricey, but why not try it on your special day?

☆★☆This is what it was actually like!☆★☆
【West Express Ginga (Premier Room)】
* The power of the magnet on the door of the room was too strong.
* It was fun to spread the bed sheets on the seat and make the bed.
* The security was safe because it was a private room with a lock.
* There were also beds and toilets for people in wheelchairs.
* Our sightseeing train ran so slow that it was overtaken by local trains.
* Free Wi-Fi was also available.
* They used to sell only package tours, but recently they have started selling one-way tickets as well.

I just wanted to say "thank you", your tours are always amazing and the fact that, for once on this platform, there is a person who doesn't scream but, instead, makes the viewer enjoy a relaxing video in peace, is priceless. Your choice to not talk is very appreciated.

Watching these videos with a nice cup of coffee is the best way to start the day. So relaxing. This actually looks like a really interesting trip. I usually don't enjoy the "getting from A to B"-part of traveling, but this looks like a train that even I could enjoy. Maybe sometime in the future.

I know you started this channel in part, by being dumped by your girlfriend. I am sorry for that discomfort. I enjoy your vides so very much. Please do more. Please do more local restuarant reviews. You are such a happy eater! Keep on with the channel and the best wishes for finding that partner who respects you, understands you, and wants to travel, with you!

this is the first time i see a train in japan with wheelchairs accessibility (and i watch a lot of content about japanese train's haha), this is so important.

I really love all these Japan travel channels, especially the train/boat rides. Sour cream and onion is one of my favourite chip flavours too, we also have “all-dressed” here in Canada which is another one I love!
