Last winter, I had the opportunity to tag along on a luxury Kyushu tour that included a few amazing ryokans, and the opportunity to spend a night on the coveted Seven Stars (Nanatsuboshi) luxury train that runs through Southern Japan.
The video came late because it took months to get it approved, but I'm glad to finally be able to share it with you now. Here are some links if you're interested in learning more about the places shown in this video:

(I know narration is nasaly and I'm a bit crusty in this video, I happened to get really really sick before we shot but I didn't want to cancel the trip, so I tried to power through. Hehe. )

I guess you love Japan since you're watching this video!? - I do!!! ^_-

@Dude707LoL 5 лет назад

One of the reasons I love Japan, and the culture is because they have people like that. People who would just go out of their ways to welcome visitors. I have had people telling me when I was in smaller towns in Japan that they are so happy that visitors come and visit their towns. I have never been shown that type of hospitality before :3

@giabread 5 лет назад

Why tho? Can you imagine your life being so empty that you love a train you can never afford to ride?

@gxz1981 5 лет назад

giabread go to Japan and talk to the ppl, you will know why.

@naomilam270 5 лет назад

Can we all just email the train line and tell them to please hire that guy! It would make his dream come true and I'm sure he would be the best staff member with that commitment.

@siddharthjayaswal 5 лет назад

I wonder if he has ever travelled on the Nanatsuboshi. A free trip definitely in order for him.

@mr.kjerum 3 года назад

They would never find a more dedicated employee. He totally should have a concierge position within that company!

@metuneter2415 3 года назад

To me, that speaks to the standards of the line. You can't just say you want to work for the line, (if in fact that's what he wants), but you have to prove yourself worthy of the standards that has made the Nanatsuboshi what he loves in the first place. If that would make his dream come true, I would love nothing more than for them to hire him.

@NotYourNhaama 3 года назад

@@Inaworldoflove The Japanese don't really care about how crooked your teeth are. They don't bother with braces unless your teeth affect your ability to eat. The British are the same, hence why both countries get made fun of for "bad teeth". The teeth are fine, just not straight.

Thank you for interviewing Tashiro-San about his love for the Nanatsuboshi. His joy was infectious and I am touched by his hospitality and his wish to welcome everyone to Japan. if I ever have the chance to travel to Japan, I will carry that spirit with me and be even more appreciative and thankful for Japan's hospitality.

@beyming4507 5 лет назад

@falun52 3 года назад

@sarahberlaud4285 5 лет назад

In my time here, I've met so many people who are full of sincere and warmhearted passion for a really specific thing, as Mr. Tashiro is about the Nanatsuboshi Train. It is so genuine and wonderful... a lot of younger Japanese people feel that it's old-fashioned or boring (they would rather have a variety of hobbies). Some of my friends who are really dedicated to their sole hobby wonder if it's boring. I don't think it is, and I see in the comments that so many people agree! Even though most of us will likely never ride this train, we could all feel Mr. Tashiro's excitement, enthusiasm, and kindness. Thank you!

@haywoodjablome440 5 лет назад

The Happy Train Troll was the best part of the vid imho. *In retrospect, he bears an uncanny resemblance to The Happy Mask Salesman.

I think Mr. Tashiro, who loves Nanatsubosi, was impressed by the gentle response of Micaela. This jorney is a great experience for Micaela, who uses the finest trains, as the starting point for your train journey. Experience is better than temporary ownership.

@Tofunekouhai 5 лет назад

@@Dude707LoL i just checked the website. For that kind of cost, i could travel to Japan 6-7 times or more if i am on budget trip. I'm not sure if i could sacrifice that much travel holiday just for 2-4 days on luxury train. But im so sad because i hope to experience some classy trip. Hahaha

@Dude707LoL 5 лет назад

@@Tofunekouhai ye it does seem quite classy. But Japan has so much more to offer, I'd try these trips once I'm old and have seen it all. But 7-6 times, really? Does that include flights. It's probably 2-3 times from my side. Still a lot. I'm in love with that country now. Never felt this way before.

@@Dude707LoL whoops. When you say it like that i calculated it again once more. How bad am i at math. Sorry. I looked back at my trip plan and i realize the total does not include jr pass and flight ticket. Hehe. Sorry.

@filuferru 5 лет назад

Aah... That's great! I drive trains in Italy and I sometimes come across the European Orient Express that is a train service very very similar to this one you showed us: top class service onboard, with classic cars, but I'm not sure that they give to customers the extra shows seen in your video (jazz live music, the costume show on platform, etc). The Orient Express usually crosses the border at Brenner Pass between Austria and Italy, and I normally work on that railway line with my trains. As a train driver (or engineer, or... BTW, how do you call train drivers in Canada?? 😁) and as a "fan" of Japan and Japanese culture, it would be a dream for me to drive that train... 😊 I hope you enjoyed your trip.

Thank you for showing. Perhaps next to my home country, Japan is my second most favourite place on earth. I used to live/work in Tokyo for a short while and whenever I felt suffocated by the hustle and bustle of the city, I liked escaping on a train ride whenever it was possible. Hokkaido is my most favourite place. I wish all people will get to experience the wonders of Japan even if just for once. Love and Blessings.

@yyhsupergroovegear 5 лет назад

To avoid reflections on the shiny surface of the train you need a polarising filter. These luxury trains are so dreamy. I want to ride the Mizukaze Twilight Express, the luxury train from Kansai region.

@kansaibeyond 5 лет назад

Micaela, you're the only youtuber I can say that's honestly living my dream. I know there's plenty of Japan Travel vlogger, but I feel like you and I appreciate very similar things (cheaper accommodations for longer periods, traveling into inaka, etc). I've traveled Kyushu a few times, and it's my absolute favourite island away from honshu. Riding The Seven Stars is my absolutely #1 to-do on my list, but unlike the rest of the other things I aim to do I know I'll never be able to afford it. Thank you for sharing your experience there.

First, the ryokan is very nice. The corridor with a shiny wooden floor is very pretty with lanterns. Next, the train is amazing. Yes, luxury is the word! It is like a fancy hotel in motion. What really stuck me were 1. decorated porcelain sinks (I have never seen those in my life anywhere) 2. clear tomato juice (looks like white wine). I wonder if they have vegetarian options on the train (I guess they want you to experience the famed Kyushu beef and seafood etc.). I really enjoyed this upload!
