I Spent 24 Hours On Japan's Sleeper Train Ft.  

WHOSE BRAND?

​@@deenzmartin6695 Japans brand

@@8bitgubben hnnnnng

me, an american train nerds who been on a sleeper train here before: yes yes yes i need to do this IMMEDIATELY

@@graymonk5972 I mean compared to sleeper cars in the US, $200 is an absolute bargain. That said, I think I'd rather take the high speed trains to get from point A to point B,

Oooh, Look at you being all topical and stuff! LOL😄 Seriously though that would be kind of cool! I'm gonna kinda steal your idea, o.k? 😉

@chaduserforreal wtf is this!?

@@bstnk fuck me mate!

@@bstnkit’s stupid how many people actually fall for clicking the link, it’s obvious they’re a bot

*Does he mean **15:26**?*

It’s nice when you have a bed. Tried it without, sleep better on a plane ong

@@thetoyodacar2264 I only have a pretty small sample size to compare (like 4 flights and endless train rides), but I've always found trains a bit more comfy. Planes get so weirdly cold, the "scenery" isn't that spectacular after a while and (personally) I've found the sound to be less soothing than the train rattle.

I also love riding trains, and not only trains but also ships and planes and sometimes buses. Yes it can be uncomfortable but to me that experience is part of the adventure

ass oclock is my new favourite phrase to describe ungodly early hours

I wonder if Japan's confidence problem is caused by a lack of vitamin C from fruit being too expensive.

​@@Giggles4692 this was so unfunny that i think my straight face muscles have cramped up.

2 grown brits

you're not wrong, it is funny

@@donutchan8114 3 Men on a Boat vibes, except it's 2 men

Agreed. It's like road trip vibes

@Merry Christmas a bot making fun of bots??? we having AI wars now?

At least he’s consistent

True lol

He is British, right?

I am japanese

Aaand we have conner complaining few minutes later lol

@@sodapop939 - Granted most of it was aimed at the train’s site.

As someone watching this during lunch time 👊

Literally watching during my lunch break, this is true

Not me watching this at 6:00am 💀

Me watching this at midnight 😂

FR! THIS IS SO TRUE! I'm literally having my dinner while watching this

Especially when it’s with Connor😆

On this particular occasion, he definitely didn't enjoy it. Look at those eyes. That is a very pissed-off person. Agree on some of the other Wacky Weekend vids though!

@@velocitasfortis This is similar to the ferry episode. He was genuinely suffering. But yea, he usually does have fun.

did you just call my man chris a tsundere bruh

@@velocitasfortis he said he was feeling quite sick too from the motion sickness too on top of being sleep deprived I would be too

What's the channel name?

​@@aprilbaker1264solo solo travel. There's also Solo Travel and Kugas Travel

I have subscribed to that channel. Dude is freaking hilarious. He reviews flights and even US trains too.

He’s the reason I’m watching this, actually!

@@jewelstroud7191 I'm also a Solo Solo travel fan.

I don't know, he might want to use an alias til he's made a name for himself.

He could start a RU-vid channel or something.

Nah I feel like he would not do it that often

Hmmm you know, your on to something there

@@Piotrek7654321 Maybe he should even start streaming on Twitch

This train is very good in terms of utility because of the schedule. Maximise the time of local's rare holidays.

Having been on sleeper trains in America, I absolutely love 'em. Sure, they can be a bit inconvenient at times, not to mention slow, but if you're just looking to relax or sleep for a while but still get yourself somewhere it really can't be beat. It's a whole vibe. Especially if you're out during the day and get to actually see things.

I can recommend you the Video of Solo Solo Travel (from which the clip was shown) about this train

It's something you gotta get used to, but once you do it can be quite comforting. To me the movement of the train relaxes me.

Just take one in europe they are better

The train or the bus?

@@DZ-1987 I did went onto that Jacobite Steam train XD But I actually needed to do this ride. It's just that instead of taking the normal cheaper train I took this one to have both the transport and the experience.

it's actually a pretty common thing in post soviet countries to ride sleeper trains for locals who want to spend less money and travel long distances, but of cource service is worse

I personally would love to travel on a sleeper train, as long as I had a private cabin. But I prefer old-fashioned modes of transportation. And I like trains. 🤷🏻

@@MonographicSingleheaded lmao

Yeah I love sleeper trains. But I haven't been on one for about 15 years so I imagine I would be a lot more discerning 😂

@@sketcharmslong6289 In India, every train is sleeper trains lol except metros obviously.

America has a few routes like that.

@@Manny-uf1hq Imagine Chris sleeping on an train in India. He would go nuts

its called love

I thought the fart would trigger him

I just came to the part on the prices, that would explain it.

I came into this video expecting the train to be sorta similar to the long distance and sleeper train Amtrak has here in the US. Was not expecting the train in the video was going to make Amtrak look like a platinum service.

It's definitely the shinkansen. Faster, more quiet and overall more efficient. Meanwhile we can't really get anything like that in the EU because there's tremendous difference between the train tech of different countries. Having a bullet train here would be hard.

@@matthewcron8842 really? I'm quite surprised, considering Japan generally leans more in favor of trains for long distance transport, but I guess that's more bullet trains than sleepers. What are the differences between Amtrak and this one?

@@destituteanddecadent9106 Yeah, this compared to the Amtrak sleeps and the long-distance trains(Which in the US are designated explicitly as trains that go over 750 miles, I don't know what that is in kilometers, and I accidentally deleted this comment the first time I wrote it, so I really don't want to look it up) kinda surprised me. Some differences I've seen are just how cramped and sorta dingy it was compared to Amtrak, which over the past few years has been upgrading everything, from its service to its equipment. They even just put out a thing saying that they are going to be buying a lot of new trainsets over the next few years. But some differences. First, the quality of the service just seems lacking compared to Amtrak. Like the bedrooms felt cramped, old, and uncomfortable, meanwhile, on Amtrak, the largest bedrooms can sleep up to 4 people, usually have a shower and toilet within them(Expect for roomettes), and come with a complementary meal service, and an attendant who will do a number of things, from delivering food, to even setting up the bed, and converting the room from the sorta chair and table setup it starts out with, to the sleeping arrangement. Meanwhile, the worst you can get on a long-distance or sleeper, and which is the standard for most of Amtrak is coach seating(Which depending on the train, can also come with various levels of service, and usually gives you access to the cafe car, which is where you get things like snacks, drinks, and more quickly prepared food). Meanwhile, the worst on this train was a pillow on a soft floor. And I thought that the train not really having a coach section was kinda weird. Do these slower sleepers in Japan have a coach section on them sometimes? Anyways, I also thought that the shower being something you had to reserver was kinda odd, since, on amtrak, the shower is in your bedroom on the train. And over all Amtrak more sells the experince rather than the transport with its sleepers and long-distance. You get to go where comfortably, with the service and the experience of riding the train with it. (Of the course the government, mainly local governments and representatives like long-distance trains more for connecting rural communities). In fact Amtrak advertises the experince on these trains more than anything else when it comes to long distance and sleepers. you get to see amazing landscapes(Some trains take multiple days to get from one terminus to the other), have a comforable time, and go to a lot of places(connects to many cities, and thruway bus can get you further, to a lot of national parks and cities outside the train's route). So yeah, I guess I was just surprised that Japan's slow sleepers, which are in a country that makes the US's passenger rail look like a model train set, are so dissapointing: old, dingy, not really all that reliable, hard to access, and with kind of poor service. Well Amtrak literally prides the experience and service you get riding on, with it being able to back it up to boot(As long as you are delayed by a freight train, or derail, that actually happened this year), it was just kind of surprising to see that Amtrak's long-distance trains were just so much better compared to this.

He’s living the dream

thats what i was thinking lmao

The 93%

I'm patiently waiting too ;-;
