As always. An excellent review by an excellent reviewer. Imagine that - 90 minutes for 350 kms. Meanwhile it takes me Melbourne to Bendigo 130 km 2 hours +. No food.
Always enjoy an ‘Adam’ train journey! Looks so well organized, easy to follow and passenger friendly after taking German and Dutch trains! Great video!
Great review ,always get my travel juices flowing.I would love to go to Japan but first I have to go to New Zealand just across the dutch lol.I have travelled so much of my beautiful country Australia but never been overseas.❤
Yeeesssss! From your Japanese railway video you shared last time I was hoping to see a few more Japanese related videos and this didn’t disappoint! Very detailed guide to travelling on it…. Hopefully one day for me!
I hope you enjoyed the trip on Shinkansen and Japan. I really enjoyed when I went and hopefully I can go back again or travel with someone. I really want to explore southern japan
@@FromtheWindowSeat The north is beautiful I really enjoyed Hokkaido . In south I want to explore especially Fukuoka (can even take ferry to Hokkaido from here and Busan Korea is only 1hr flight or catch ferry) , Okayama (Naoshima Island its famous art island bit touristy but still I seen one of the artists work in Sydney) Kurashiki, Hiroshima, Kagoshima and there's the old walking trails ( most famous NakaSendo) that would be cool to do too. Lots interesting places in Japan its whole other world compared to Australia hehe especially Sydney.
Great video as usual. Makes me ill watching this as I endure the 1972 vintage V set travel between Woy Woy and Hornsby in around 40 minutes with no internet at around 45 kilometres per hour up the hill toward Cowan again. And as I have for 30 years
Love your videos my friend! And I saw you a couple of weeks back… fittingly enough heading down in to Adelaide railway station. 🙏🚝 We Adelaide RU-vidrs need to stick together! 😊
Lovely trip, funny enough in February my partner and I did Tokyo-Sendai-Tokyo in Green class. All in one late afternoon to make use to the max of our JR Pass' last day. As usual, Adam thank you for sharing your trip :)
another excellent video Adam. currently watching with my saturday morning coffee - the best! can’t wait to make it to japan one day and experience these trains for myself. in the meantime i will live vicariously through your videos haha
Great to see you back Adam, what a great journey. I note you have ditched your checked shirts for a more quirky design. I look forward to the rest of your travels.
Such a great journey, Adam. Thanks for the information about travelling on this amazing train. I was going to say that it couldn't get any better, and then I saw the train you're going to travel in for your next video. 😍
This would be like me going to London in under 2 hours for the same price as a UK standard ticket... London takes 5 hours on UK trains and often the train is so crowded its standing part of the way. Its a world away from Grand Class Shinkansen.
It's very slick and plush. Weird that the power sockets looked a bit manky though. Also weird that people have to touch the loo door lock before going outside to wash their hands.
Excellent review. I agree Gran Class is not really worth it. The food and drink provided is not worth the extra costs. I think the best way to solve on board food and drink problem for all railway companies in the world is Ekiben. Japan has already shown the way. On board food and drink is only for tourist trains. To have a proper chef and proper kitchen on every train is impractical.
I think I got it right in the voiceover but my shots at the start and end were recorded on site (with my typical Australian pronunciation ) so it was too late to fix. This is all part of learning. Yes, I make mistakes but I’m only human. 🤷
Hi Adam. Well that explains things, in spite of all notifications on, the powers that be and their algorithms have other ideas. One of the many other channels I follow suggested watching their video to the end without fast forwarding which is what I did with this episode and hopefully that might actually work….Not that I ever fast forward you because you are great value (especially that wave and the attention to detail especially the ablutions). Wonderful you achieving those high speeds on board. What an experience. And would you look at that luxury on board. Well done. PS Have also now discovered you on instagram and sent you an introductory message. Until next time…Zoltán
Hi Zoltan. Yes, RU-vid with its notification and algorithm vagaries can be a challenge but glad you found this video in the end! Lovely to get that feedback. Thank you!
