I always enjoy your videos of you taking the local trains more than the shinkansen. I really enjoy looking at all the different town and scenery between stops. I also like looking around the trains stations, seeing all the different restaurants, convenience stores, and the internet cafes in them.

[@closedmindedtraveler1716]

Thank you for this. It reminded me of one of my train rides in Japan last July, but only from Atami to Tokyo stations after hiking Mount Fuji.

[@maxhj19]

영상 올려주셔서 감사합니다. 재밌게 보고 있어요 ❤

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst]

That was a long day of travel. What I particularly noticed was how quiet the train cars were, even when full of people. You'd never have that level of quietness where I live. I remember one time riding the streetcar in Toronto and the driver had to turn around and tell some women to "pack it up" which meant be quiet 🤐 I was so grateful because these women were so loud!

[@_Clorinde.]

It is also very loud here, something or someone is constantly saying something or someone loudly, which is why I had to leave Tallinn

[@igbatious]

That's the thing about Japan, no one wants to inconvenience anyone else. So the effect of that is public transportation is dead silent almost all the time.

[@mashucha]

There is a social norm here about keeping quiet in trains

[@TheMangazixy]

@@mashucha I have the same social norm but I live outside of Japan, why on earth are people being jerks and loud, I really don't understand?..

[@scwong6349]

people often complain about noisy chatty diners in China but in Australia it's just worse (not referring to fine dining places in both countries, just regular ones).

[@TRUMPisOPPA]

29:01 The honking this train does is so cute. 💕

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip. Suitable for someone who have bulk of time to enjoy local specialities.

[@johncoyle777]

I am only part way though your video and I have decided to take the local from NUMAZU to NAGOYA when my wife and I visit Japan for a week in February next year. . . . . a few weeks away, really! I HAD thought of the Shinkansen but it is too costly and the BUS is affordable, but as per your video, the local trains are a really nice way to travel, I am sure. Thank you for a very enjoyable video.

[@eottoe2001]

Очень здорово, спасибо большое за путешествие. Когда едешь по сельской местности, такое ощущение , что еду по Краснодарскому краю в России. Природа, некоторые домики даже очень похожи. Я просто подсела на ваши видео. Я у же заочно влюбилась в Японию.❤️

[@perhapsme988]

In 1977, we rode on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to its most southerly terminus at the time then transferred to origjnal mainline to Fukoko in the southern island. On the way back, we rode the old original line all the way back to Osaka. Shinkansen is great. But slower original trunk line offers many advantages in Japan. Their not neglecting the original main line is most commended and we should be thankful. I plan to travel to Japan next year or two. Certainly i will ride the Tokaido main line. Thanks for the video.

[@thomassmall5241]

I found this Video VERY interesting. I really liked the fact that there were so many different local TRAINS. I loved the ability to get off the train and briefly see the many cities along the Tokaido route . I liked the sampling of the various dishes each region had to offer. It's like a escapade. I learned so many names of Japanese dishes: they looked scumchuous.

OMG that Terminus deals with more people a day that lives in the entire city of Brisbane in Queensland Australia!! HOLY CRAP!!

[@canadagood]

To me that would have been a perfect tourist day in Japan. More than twenty year ago I bought a one week Japan Rail Pass and travelled as far as Kagoshima up to Northern Honshu. While the Shinkansen were fast technological marvels, the countryside flashed by too fast to appreciate. It was the quaint local trains that provided the most fun and scenic views. For someone eager to make a business schedule the Shinkansen are great. But for someone trying to enjoy the trip then slower is better.

[@user-dc5ts2eg3p]

thankyou for the video. I decide to catch local train from Atami to Shizuoka this coming December 23.

[@jamesbradley7306]

Remarkable. Wondered how it could be done. Thanks!

[@mukeshvig174]

Beautiful scenery God's own country, Japan and helpful on-screen explanations. The train reminds me of local trains for short city travel.I am not sure over 5 hours of travel in this train is easy. But the freedom to go out and continue in the next train is amazing. I wish this was in 4K for clarity. Overall, job well done. Thanks

[@user-kv4yg7ww4v]

Wow nice video ❤❤

[@insidiousfish]

5:33 Those are cheap parking rates. 12:14 That is an interesting place to put a ferris wheel in. 19:17 You show Seventeen Ice's vending machines so often in your videos. They should sponsor you. 20:56 Perhaps you should make a video of climbing Mt. Fuji?

[@youcanpunchmeintheface]

I concur, 600 JPY parking will get you barely an hour in bigger cities meanwhile in Maibara it's one whole day in front of the station.

[@MarioLorenzo]

I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and find them very enlightening. Is it easy and cheap to travel with your bicycles on the local and high speed trains? Do you notice many people travelling with their bikes? I like to travel with my bicycle so I can sightsee and get around by bike rather than by car.

[@jameschen7661]

老宋，不錯，will try same trip next time。

[@blancaisabelramosdealmarza6360]

Saludos desde Maracaibo, Venezuela. Vaya que si es impresionante esta gigantesca estación de trenes. Es económico pero haces como que muchos trasbordos aunque esos paisajes rurales con todo un espectáculo maravilloso. Me encanta ese baño de pies, pues los relaja y evitan que se inflamen por estar tanto tiempo sentados. Ese paso por el Océano esta muy cerca e imagino como sufrirían y las perdidas que tuvieron con el Tsunami del 2011. Parece que el tren es el medio de transporte más usado para trasladarse a las diversas poblaciones y ciudades de Japon. Concuerdo contigo en que es una estación hermosa, gigante y espectacular. Dios te bendiga.

[@xredgambit]

That looks like a nice trip to take. Though I feel like that would be more of a 2nd visit to Japan if I did it as it takes a day for just travel. Though you do get to stop at a lot of places.

This option of Osaka - Tokyo train was interesting. Didn't know about it. But stretching it to 10 hours with 'Food Stops', even more interesting ! Sorry I couldn't figure out the name of the Railway Station in Tokyo, wonder if you meant the one in Marunouchi. Sorry but the capsule hotel almost chocked me, just by looking ! 👍👍👍

[@dhall4363]

Great video. Long day, but you do get to see a lot more and save some on the fairs. When I was in Japan I traveled from Tokyo to Hakone on a local train. That was a bout two hours of quite warm and humid travel. Did get to see the local country more though.

[@sammyleung719]

It's not only between Tokyo and Osaka, and also between Kyushu. Actually, you can take trains between Hokkaido and Kyushu by using this ticket without any changes before 2016. Since the Shinkansen was opening, travelling between Honshu and Hokkaido needs to pay a special charge when using this ticket.

[@rhythmdroid]

that makes no sense. If you take the shinkansen from Tokyo to Shin Osaka, you risk only missing one train. If you use the entire day and take only local trains, you risk missing many. Not sure what you meant.

[@cakes1831]

@@rhythmdroid you buy the ticket for the shinkanzen and if you miss that train then welp buy a new ticket. If you use the local network you just tap your ic card to get into he station and then tap at the station you get off, it's calculated by distance and takes it out of your ic card even if you hop off the train at a random station and then get on the next train

[@m60mgman]

I visited Nakatajima dunes during a stop in Hamamatsu in 2019. My son and I went to the same Ishimatsu gyoza restaurant you were in at the station and we also had the set meal but with 20 gyoza. It was ok, but I make my own all the time, which of course are better, so it was a bit disappointing… 🤷

[@riffgroove]

Trains in Japan are great, but if I was going to travel from Osaka to Tokyo, I would rather take a limousine bus. The trip takes about 8 hours with one brief stop along the way. It's reasonably priced, and you still get to see all the beautiful countryside along the way. And it is a lot more comfortable.

Another amazing video, thank you for your work. So if the ticket lasts 5 days, could that be used to traverse the whole of Japan by local trains? Or are there segments where no local trains are in service?

[@KyokoUchinoko]

This special ticket 青春18切符(Sei-shun Ju-hachi Kippu) allows you to ride for a total of 5 days or 1 day with 5 people for a specific period and specific section. Specifically, it can be used on local trains and rapid trains on the railway lines of a railway company called JR. Therefore, it cannot be used with other railway companies. Please check the English website for detail👍🎫

[@joeef5535]

@@KyokoUchinoko right, but if I only use JR local trains, you're restricted to a specific part of the country or you could potentially traverse all of it?

[@KyokoUchinoko]

@@joeef5535 You can ride all JR lines! However, there are cases where it is difficult to determine whether it is JR or another railway line.

[@KyokoUchinoko]

P.S. Tickets also have a release period and a use period. For example, tickets released in December can be used from December 10th to January 10th. Therefore, there is no problem even if you do not use it for 5 consecutive days. Also, this is top secret information, but ticket shops in town may sell tickets that are about to expire. It is sometimes sold at a famous store called Daikokuya, so when you visit Japan, try searching for it by typing "Daikokuya" in Japanese into Google Maps. If you're lucky, you might be able to get one or two remaining tickets at a bargain price... As a side note, there is space for 5 stamps on the face of the Seishun 18 Ticket. Once you get a stamp from the station staff at the ticket gate, you can use it for the entire day. If you are boarding from an unmanned station, you can ask the crew member to push your ticket for you. After that, you can get off or board the train by showing the stamp on the ticket to the station staff or train crew. You cannot go through the automatic ticket gate. It can also be used by multiple people on the same day if everyone is on the same journey. For example, a group of five people may use five doses at once for a day trip.
