Riding FIRST CLASS On Japan's Bullet Train 🇯🇵 Worth It? (Shinkansen) 

Watch all our Japan Videos here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--UtHORPxPgI.html

23:34 Even in Tokyo, you have to be careful not to rip people off at bars that have signs in Korean.

Tokyo is such a beautiful city with many beautiful people… the food, the cleanliness, it’s on another level, it’s a must visit city if your able too, this video reflected it very well…..

Tokyo/Japan needs 4 trips. 2+ weeks each. 1 trip for each season. Different weather Different vibe/themes Different seasonal foods - the flavor of the foods changes with the season I can’t explain it.

My son loved Japan when he visited in 2017 after he'd finished his degree with all of his uni mates .

Public transportation appears to be top notch. I’m sure it can be confusing at times but I love the cleanliness and the comfort.

Those look super comfy. Better than a plane!!

That bullet train was so futuristic. Tokyo is out of this world. 😲👍😊🇮🇪🇯🇵⛩️🗼

I guess Tokyo has something for everyone. What a fabulous city with so much variety of things to do. Love the temples and night life. So clean also. Arigato and Enjoy! 😊

これがファーストクラスだと海外の方に思われたら不本意。ファーストクラスであるグランクラス乗って欲しい。

I have not watched your videos in a bit.... I will have to go back and see where I stopped. Japan is very cool. My sister's best friend growing up went to Japan every few years. Her Father was from the US but mom was born and raised in Japan. I believe they married in late 1960s or eary 1970s. So their Daughter went back to Japan every 3 to 4 years.

A videótokat megnézve ismételten meg kell hogy állapítsam, Japán gyönyörű! Vigyázzatok Magatokra!

Japan never fails to impress

Travelling by trains in Japan must have been an extraordinary experience for you! Cherry blossom season is the most beautiful of the year.Flowering trees beautifully frame temples and gardens,enjoy the peace and quiet.

Multiple other people have already mentioned it but this isn't first class, but more like business class. The first class equivalent on the shinkansens would be GranClass.

Thanks for the Bullet Train ride. I really had a lot of fun when I was there. It's so smooth and quiet.

Its so annoying how we dont have bullet trains on the states. But japan has trains for every occasion.

Wow that luxury train looked amazing. Thank you for sharing 😊 Stay safe, and take care - all of you ♥

Loving your Japan video.

Great nightlife everything looks so different and beautiful. Looking forward to our next video now I know how you and Carol stay so slim lol constantly walking.😂

This week is called Golden Week. Many Japanese will be traveling domestically 20 plus million. Another reason it’s going to get extra crowded! Love your videos in Japan. Spent 12 days in Japan last month.

As far as tipping, I lived in China for 8 years and they didn’t accept tipping. It was included in the regular bill. They consider it to be offensive. What about the Philippines? Do you tip there? I’m home now in Michigan, USA, the tipping is expensive and even for over the counter buys, they try to get you to tip. Crazy! Thanks for all your wonderful videos!

Thanks for sharing the train experience always wondered what a "SUPER" train would be like. I noticed Carol's transformation while on the train 😃

I'm loving the videos, my bf and I are thinking of going next year and your videos really help to get info and inspiration of all the cool places we can visit. You've just gained a new subscriber!! :)

That is the most beautiful train bathroom I've ever seen.

Good morning Chris and Carol. Thank you for sharing your adventure in Japan…that bullet train is awesome.

We went to Japan back in March 2023, it was and incredible experience and such it really is a beautiful country. The shinkansen was a really cool experience for us, like you said very comfortable and fast.

Another Awesome Adventure Thank You Chris & Carol🙂❤👍

i'm amazed that Japan finds tipping offensive. Here in California it's expected to tip at least 20%, used to be that 15% was the normal tipping when eating out. At a local Mexican restaurant there are 3 tipping jars, 1- waitress, 2- cook, and 3- restaurant. I usually only put $1 per jar.

Thanks Chris and beautiful Carol, I was looking forward to seeing you guys ride the bullet train.🫶🏻🫶🏻🤟🏾👌🏾🥰🇬🇧

Great video Japan looks awesome.

If you are still in Japan, I recomend go to Kamikouchi , especially wonderful in the summer..

Cherry blossoms season, beautiful; thx 4 sharing

As an American, I'm so embarrassed to say that Japan's transportation systems blows ours out of the water... Here in the states, the trains are ugly, dirty, and grafiti ridden (on the exterior/interior). Stay safe and have fun Chris and Carol, Japan is on my wife's and mine bucket list... GREAT VIDEO!

Great video, I noticed that it is not as pricy, probably due to the currency devaluation, it is provably cheaper than Rio Cheers

Another great video. You and Carol are indeed blessed to have your parents touring with you, it is wonderful to see. Your dad seems to just stroll along with large strides and your mom takes a lot of steps while walking. It's fun to watch and they are beautiful people. I enjoy hearing you talk to us like we're all old friends. The bullet train was awesome and Tokyo is a cool and clean city. Love all those crosswalks. I noticed the park with everyone just enjoying family time, no dogs, or at least I didn't see one. Thanks for an awesome video!

Brilliant video, loving the bars and restaurants. Safe travels. Diarmuid

グリーン車はファーストクラスではないですよ！！

Excellent choice of music for your video as usual.

Great vlogs! Thanks for sharing. Which dates were you in Tokyo to catch the cherry blossom?

"ORGANIZED CHAOS" Very well put, to say the least. LOL

Wow, what a great fast train. I agree with you and Carol I wish the airlines had more comfortable seats. I can never sleep on the plane lol

Thanks!

The guy in the ticket office for the bus spoke English which surprised me. How common is that? I was in Japan for 30 years ago and then it was very rare.

As always very nice video indeed, like the no Tip policy. In America it is ridiculous.

Just got back from a trip to peru... the osprey rollerbag with the backpack straps came in very handy... great recommendation!

Watching from Canada

Very humble and beautiful family lol😅😂

Hello Mum and Dad, from UK 🇬🇧 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Thanks for sharing this video

My advice : tourists ticketing office (they can do magic) or the machine. The only trap is reserved seats train only (usually the case in north Japan) Next step is to try "gran class" :p

Well done - very informative!

Love your video. Very informative . Organized Chaos- I got to remember this phrase.

ファーストクラスを70分しか堪能できないとはなんとももったいない。でも快適に過ごしているようでなによりです。新幹線のご利用ありがとうございます。Have a nice trip.✨

Nice thank you for sharing

Wow I like that train with the sofas lol

You guys went to Shibuya.I think you did not go and see the statue of Hachiko. When you go back to Tokyo and if you guys have extra time I would like to recommend to go back to Shibuya station and meet Hachiko.

great

Peaceful

Hopefully Takashii from Japan interviews you guys!

You should have used JR pass for foreigners... it was the best solutions for us in 2019.

Malaysia has no tipping culture too. It can cost more for locals if it spread. Yes we find it insulting.

You really need to get Osprey to sponsor you. I have a rolling Osprey that you can also use as backpack or throw over your shoulder and it’s great. Connect with them. They could use you guys.

100%......right.... NO TIPPING, the reason a tip is a insult. And the Japanese see a tip as a mega insult...to the point of been shamed..... This is why.... The Honor code of the server Industry,.....the servers are all ready getting paid... They are paid to serve you. To make you happy. To make sure in a restaurant you receive the most wonderful time. And it is the ( Honor to be able to share and be there for you.)... A tip..... Insults them...because it's like telling them they did a bad job... serving you. I tipped one time, the girl chased me down....blocks away crying, apologize ING....for not doing her job. Japan, unwritten customs.....run deep. And you don't break them.. if you on a train or bus, and it is packed, and a old lady, needs a seat...( Never offer the elderly your seat thinking your been polite..mega wrong....) In JAPAN GIVING UP YOUR SEAT IS A INSULT TO THE ELDERY. YOUR TELLING THEM THERE WORTHLESS. I'm not joking. If you do get up, to let a elderly Japanese person sit down....you must get up and leave that train car.... You can how ever.....smash to the left or right....make room.... Let them, sit.....then get up...they save face then.... But never look any Japanese in the face when traveling,... It is there space, look pass them... Look up.... Do not look down. Even when saying thank you..... Face the person. Tilt your head....out of respect to them. I've been going and living in Japan......back to the 1960s,..... I've watched Japan...... grow up........ And, you never break the rules.... Domie, guy, jean.....say it fast.....( It means......stupid America.)...I heard it a lot till I learned..... social rules.... And any time to break the ice.... In meeting Japanese...,do it by trying to speak there language to them.....FACEING them.... Great video..... I'm missing my house in Tokyo.....thanks.

Bom dia tudo bem ❤❤❤

I have a quick question. What airline is best to fly to Japan and in what class? I haven’t been there and I would like to go there in September.

Tipping in the United States is mandatory. There not accept less than 15% even though the food wasn't good. 😢

I Like you

Roller bags are essential , even over rough roads . And they fit into overhead lockers . my back pack was full . 10 kgs +- , wheelie bag 12 +- Hmm HSR , is it worth it ? Just back from Taiwan , it is expedient . At a cost . Prefer the slow train , so it takes 4 hours , not 2 :-) way less expensive :-)

U need some more lively music in the background

The temperature in *C makes no sense to Americans who use *F. Provide both.

Love your channel but the music makes me depressed,not happy or excited

Awesome video tour!! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Tokyo looks amazing and it looks like so much to do! I can't wait to get there one day soon! Cheers!!

No no no.... Guys.....a toast in France is CHIN CHIN...RIGHT...IN JAPANESE A DRINK TOAST....IS( COME PIE ), SAY IT FAST AS ONE WORD...AND DEEPER VOICE....compie,...hi ....DOMO igottogo, ....

hmm that bag drag from HSR , regular train might have got you closer :-) Do not walk as fast as you guys :-) More than 15 mins , call a taxi :-) With you , shared by 4 :-)

25 c warm ? after aircon :-)

I'd hate to be paying their electric bill.

oh now i'm gonna go to china and drink korean soju lol

Ahem , sleeping on airplane seats :-) Just add the foam from my back to my butt ! Have considered bringing on my own foam :-) And then time zones :-) When do they change on your phone ? The HSR was the option , 1st class another :-)

Second. I mean first. As fast as a Shinkansen.
