That train stop moment melted my heart. How adorable and sweet of those people to welcome train riders on their break and serve food and drinks and even wave them goodbye and holding signs in the rain. What an amazing bunch of people. This video was great already but that part really elevated it for me.
They're doing it for money not out of kindness. They set up booths to sell stuff. This train is an economic bonus for a lot of these small communities.
@@javiermontiero4982 My point was they ain't waving out of the goodness of their hearts - why does it melt yours? I'll wave at you if you pay me and I think you're a schmuck
@@barbeerian yeah you can look it that way but with this negativity no one has to rob you of your happiness because you already spoiled it on your own. :)
Oh man, Japanese trains are the absolute best. Aside from the Hello Kitty and Evangelion Shinkansens, we have had tatami trains, hot spring trains, and now THIS!!!
For anyone who does not know Japanese numbers: 3 is pronounced “san” and 9 is pronounced “kyu”. So 39 can be read san-kyu which is similar to how a native Japanese speaker would say “thank you” (unless they have learned to pronounce the fricative th sound which is not used in Japanese.)
It’s so heartwarming to see people holding signs at the stations and those that wave it’s way more of a thing in Japan than it is in the US. We used to wave at trains all the time but there’s so few and far between now.
What a scenic route though. I love seeing the rural areas where the locals gather and greet the tourists. For the price of the single seat the shaking train doesn't seem that bad of a deal.
What a cute little friendly town. Everybody waving as the train was departing. To bad it rained. And old timey trains, ride like old timey trains. You got the full experience. Lol 😄 That train was gorgeous.
I can't get over your humor and videography skills; you truly make me feel like I'm joining you...all without a single word spoken by you. I LOVE it! So simple yet satisfying; thank you for taking us along all of your adventures!
It sounds like the type of rough ride that I've grown accustomed to here in the states on Amtrak's "northeast corridor" and "Keystone service"-- older routes that double as freight lines. I hope the beauty of this train would compensate for it. I love your videos; thank you for sharing your travels with us!
Beautifully renovated train. However, probably would not take it due to bumpy ride......Seems like you had two rather challenging journeys, back-to-back. 😢😲😱
@@susanhafferkamp4325 yes, the diner car with the kitchen in it; nicer than a shipping container which a lot of folks in the US are making into "tiny homes"!!
Who ever decided to make the design of these trains is genius. Can't look at a window or a screen the whole ride lol. Having comforting aesthetics around you in the ride is simply the best. As a lover of road trips I can endure uncomfortable but pretty sights is a nice option😂
Thank you for showing us this lovely special train!! 😀👍🏼 The train might be a bit shaky... But I guess the beautiful n warm interior + the friendly locals + mouth watering eki-ben make this trip memorable! Please share with us more interesting train rides in addition to your charming ferry rides!!! 😀👍🏼
this was an absolutely beautiful train and the views was so amazing I'd love to ride the train and get the full experience and tell all my friends and family about it afterwards it would be pure heaven
I spent 22 years as a professional mariner.but that train ride probably would have made me sick!So bumpy!But it's a beautiful train,and I'm glad you explained the 36+3.
The wooden interior was exquisite. The wooden in~lays for the slider window blinds were Beautiful. The "Clickity~Clack of the RailRoad Track" made it even more nostalgic. Thank-you so much for taking us with you. I love all ypur journeys. Great Video! ⭐😁 ✌💕🤘
The bumpy ride made me notice and appreciate how smooth your camera work usually is, and that you have to do things one-handed. Thank you for another good video.
You blew me away when you took the top layer off the EKIBAN meal and showed a 2nd LAYER!! I was surprised. This EKIBAN looked very delicious. Much better than the last video I watched and commented on yesterday.
Solo-san beautiful train! I must say the saddest parts were “no curry time” and the fact that the ferry video has already been uploaded and I already watched it! 😂 look forward to your next video! ❤️
Good looking train cars for sure, but I do like to see the view.. I do love the clicky clacks of the jointed rail, rings old time. All of the food looked great! I like the folks waving. Lets book a trip!
Such beautiful wooden interiors for a train! I’ve always imagined train coaches being designed in steel and plastics. The flooring is gorgeous too, and I loved the bar furniture.
So unfortunate you didn't get to try the curry... I saw the banner and had a feeling you would go over! Beautiful sights, even if you were being shaken a bit too much, thank you for sharing!
What a beautiful train! I am sad that you didn't get to enjoy curry, and that the rain interrupted the stop. Lovely to see the locals appreciating the train visit. I do hope they can find a way to make the train less uncomfortable. Thank you for sharing your travels with us!
We have Oriental Express which is just as luxurious as this one running from Bangkok to Singapore. I think the reason for the bumpy ride quality is because the coaches use steel springs instead of airbags for its suspension. Good video. Love the sceneries.
Wow... a beautiful train. Great little video - I really like how colorful your... 'ekiben' - train lunch box was. I wish I could make a little trip like this. Thanks so much for your video - I really enjoyed it.
What beautiful wood everywhere! That's the best rail car renovation I've ever seen. All that shaking uses up calories, so you can have an extra pumpkin cake.
What a lovely looking train. A shame the ride wasn't comfortable. How sweet of all those people to come meet the train and to wave goodbye in the rain as it left. Heartwarming!
Great use of some older carriages, helps promote local regional awareness and tourism etc.... It was lovely to see the people say bye/thank you... What did they say? "Thanks for coming?"
I love your sense of humour. It was a most beautiful train but I do have to admit, even I was getting a llittle sea-sick watching, even if it was on a train. 🤭❤ Oh and I really love how the people are always waving and so friendly.
Wow that interior is gorgeous, il looked like something out of a Studio Ghibli film. ^_^ Thank you so much for sharing this trip, and of course many thanks for your other videos as well. As always very nice content, thanks again. : ) (side note: I'm still shook they didn't give you a key for the room on the ferry "Takachiho" - maybe they should switch to a card system if they're worried about item management.. but yeah like you said, not every trip goes as one wants or expects.)
What exquisite decor! It's a shame about the bumpy ride, but perhaps they will do something to smooth that. It would be worthwhile to try it again to see if adjustments have been made.
I love that they used an old train like this. It is a tad tacky but the redesign has a lovely charm to it you'll never get on more modern trains. I'm sure it was worth the bumpy ride even if it's not one you'd want to ride everyday..
Oh no, first bumpy train ride and then riding the new ferry which you found disappointing. Oh well, sometimes that happens but thanks for both videos! Enjoyed them.
It was very nice to see the Kyushu inaka! It's a shame we couldn't sample the local curry haha. I hope to one day visit Japan and travel a lot on trains and see things tourists don't generally get to see, such as local shrines and stuff. Thank you for the trip!
Whoa a whole other layer of food in that lunch box was a surprise! And the pumpkin cheesecake looks delicious. Nice seeing these travels, I enjoy them so much.
I really enjoy the travelling thru Japan and see Your beautiful Country (Thru Your eyes ) I hope to see some of the places one day. Thank You for the RU-vid videos and i look forward to see more. Keep them videos coming. Arigato⛩🗼🌸🍡🍥🍣🍤
Love all your video's! Some of your comments make me laugh! You have a good since of humor! Wishing you the very best with hugs and more hugs from me and my beloved Canada!
Thank you for grabbing your food before the train left. I got nervous during the one video when you got off to get something to eat/drink while the train made a stop and had to run back to the train before it left the station. It was a bumpy time to eat but at least you weren't hungry.
That train was beautiful from inside and because it is an old one the ride is more bumpy. New modern trains have better balance system but they go so fast that you can't really enjoy the view so much. The volcano looked stunning. I love green tea, it would be amazing to be able to visit there some day.
Unique balance 'train'ing. I see what you did there. And it was awesome to see the food truck workers waving as your train pulled out, just like the dock workers at the ferry stations.
I love your videos! I would love to visit Japan for all of these trains, hotels and ferries! It looks incredible. Thank you for your great content, please keep up the amazing work! ☺️
Beautiful train, very bumpy ride! I hope non of your food got spilled because of it, everything looked very yummy. The pit stop in the little town was extremely nice!
I live in the country that invented trains and believe me this ride looked smooth compared to some of our trains. You’re so lucky. Also the decor looked amazing. Most of our rolling stock is dirty and crowded..
I love the train culture you have there. It's so refreshing, because I'm from an area that has no passenger trains at all. There is literally a campaign trying to rip out the historic rail entirely. 😑 So I live through this channel vicariously lol
This train has the funniest, loveliest face! The footage at the end, reminded me, in a strange way, the houses I used to see while riding the train in Chicago. I like it, when I see something completely new and special and yet it gives some familiar feeling... What a great experience! Thank you! 🙏🌋🌞
What a beautiful train! No curry 😢 It's nice to see you going on train rides 😊 even though it was a bumpy ride, maybe shinkansen next time? I want to travel to Japan again. I miss everything!!!
