Riding the World’s Fastest Train | 🇯🇵 603km/h Maglev L0 

"unlike the hyperloop , this technology seems practical and efficient " lmfaooo . Also like how the last chapter is called the secret maglev prototype run 😂 truly astonishing

Few extra info for those interested... The L0 was announced and began testing back in 2012-2013, with this maximum speed of 500km/h being reached already back in 2013. Since then it has gone through repeated endurance and speed tests, reaching the record high of 603km/h back in 2015. It has gone back and forth between public rides and testing, and one major upgrade from L0 Series to Improved L0 series. Construction for the actual first commercial available to the public line which will go from Tokyo to Nagoya and then extended to Osaka has been going on since 2014. The first section up to Nagoya is planned to be finished by 2027, and originally the extension to Osaka would require a pause for JR to recover from extensive costs and planned to be finished by 2045, but because of a Japanese government injection of funds, it's now planned to be ready by 2037. The speed and tech is impressive enough I guess, but for me what truly makes the whole Shinkansen system so amazing is it's reliability and... erm... track record. The foresight Japanese people had when building such a complex, expensive but extremely useful system back so many years ago transformed not only transportation, but also culture and lives of the entire population in so many different ways it's hard to make a full acknowledgement of it all. I had a couple of opportunities in riding those a few years ago... as a foreigner living in a developing nation, I imagine that every foreigner that rides it starts imagining how life would be different for themselves if they had access to transportation like that in their own countries (well, unless you are from another country that has a similar system, that is). Let me tell you that being a single child from parents who moved to a different state away from our extended family, having once or twice a year trips - every single year since I was a kid - by car or bus that takes 16 to 19 hours because of horrible road conditions, every single X-mas/new years' period which is right in the middle of extremely hot and humid summer down here... life would have been substantially different if we could just take a comfortable Shinkansen ride every year to visit relatives instead. xD I'd likely go more towards enjoying and actually anticipating the visits rather than being overcome with dread and anxiety when the date approaches, not only because of the expectation of enduring the long trip, but also the fear of accidents and problems happening during it, which we have far too many to count already. And then, now that I'm living cross state from my mom, who is at a pretty advanced age and with a few health issues and limitations but still doesn't wanna move in with me (nor I want to move back), if we had a reliable and fast method of transportation between our cities that would certainly solve a whole ton of problems. This coming from a single person experience, there are so so many more problems that are solved and opportunities that are opened with an advanced transportation system like this that the price tag feels very much justified. The benefits for an entire population are too many to count. In my head I'm talking more about the entire metro and subway system in Japan I guess, not only the Maglev Shinkansen... but it's all connected, right? xD Anyways, thanks for sharing! I had been very curious about how the maglev tests had been going, and it's super interesting to see it first hand like this instead of only articles and official material... xD

The people of Japan have a lot to be proud of with their transport. The amount of effort and skill that goes into creating this is amazing.

"Or in 5yo terms, big magnets push and pull to make train fly" "...finally putting Japan's aging population at the economic forefront" I laughed so hard. Thank you Solo Solo Travel, your sense of humor sets your channel apart from most other travel channels, and I really enjoy it.

meanwhile the fastest train in the USA is Thomas the Tank Engine

My man roasted the entire world already in the first 30 secs of the video haha

The Grandma power behind the Maglev was fine investigative journalism. Great channel!

Японцы крутые.блягодаря им мы приближаемся к той реальности,которую видели в фильмах про будущее🥰невероятные люди❤️

I remember the first time I rode a Shinkansen. It was almost ethereal to be a little boy in a ridiculously fast train, looking out to see Mt. Fuji heading to Osaka (if my memory serves me right). It's just amazing to see how far we've come in the development of rail networks to even have full-fledged maglevs at terrific speeds! Can't wait to hop back on one when the opportunity presents itself. Loving the content!

Круто. Вот правильное использование миллиардов))) Поезда вместо ракет и бомб!💪

I never really thought about it but this is truly an unbelievable feat of engineering. I only took one semester in school on electromagnetic induction and that stuff is absolutely crazy. I can't even imagine the work that went into designing this train

สมแล้วที่เป็นสุดยอดมหาอำนาจ Top 3 ของโลก ทางด้านนวัตกรรมอุตสาหกรรมเทคโนโลยีความมั่งคั่งของประเทศและทางการทหาร นับตั้งแต่ยุคสมัยสงครามโลกครั้งที่สอง No.1 in Asia = 🇯🇵🎌👍✌️

‘Finally putting Japan’s aging population at the economic forefront’. And that is why I watch your channel. Lolol

My friend's granddad spent his engineering career working on Maglev technology. He probably consulted on this at some point. It's so cool seeing what was once the future becoming usable technology.

単純に「夢がある」って感じだよね。 リニアは昔の子供達の夢だから、実現するのはめちゃめちゃテンション上がる。 日本再生の原動力になって欲しいな〜。

Супер поезд!Фантастика!Браво!Вот бы на таком прокатиться!Спасибо за видео!

I find that the comfort in the Maglev more exciting, because you'd expect anything going 500 km/h would be crashy or loud, but it really isn't the case here

thank you grandma for all your hard work

ここ、ずっと前から行きたかった所ですが、行けてません。参考になる動画をありがとうございます。

Incredible, thanks for sharing this

大きな期待と共に、、、全ては安全性に尽きますね。

"Grandmagnetic levitation" genius.

Wow. Wonderful experience. Thanks for showing us the train of the future

This was absolutely amazing!

The train design is awesome.

The secret of movement - grandma🤣 An individual trip at the end is a power🤣 In general, you are great fellows!👍

Woooow! 603 km\h its wonderful incredible!!!! Maglev already exist, and Hyperloop still is in theory. Japan, you are amazing country! Wish you well from Ukraine.

Fantastic video! You have a great sense of humor!

What amazes me is how quiet they are.

L0(950)のとても良い動画ありがとうございます。どうやら改良型のL0(950)になってから一つ前のL0(900)より騒音と揺れが低減されているみたいですね。

New subscriber, wonderful, quiet getaways with witty subtitles and valuable info .. cheers!

Hello Solo!!!!! 🦆😂😍🤗 Thanks!! 😍🇯🇵👏😍🇯🇵👏 Thank you very much! I love you!💝

This is so exciting and amazing! Thank you!

When our generation grows old we won't be surprised if they invented teleportation device 🤣

7:04 センシティブな時事ネタも抑えていてさすがです！笑

Impressive👍. Thank you for letting us experienced the train ride.

How beautiful start the video was and beautiful views of mountains

I love the humor in this☺️

Amazing!! I love this channel!

I like that you are honest saying you went with your brother! 🙏🤣🥰

Amazing technology!!!!

Great video, I also love your sense of humour!

Thanks for the video!

that was awesome! thanks to your sibling (and you, as always)

You captured some really beautiful shots in this video! Great work! Keep it up! Thanks so much!

INCREDIBLE! Don’t blink you’ll miss it!

7:32 Love seeing the grandpa rocking the "born in texas" cap lol. I'm not American but still. Warms my heart in a weird way lmao

so cool. Japan does have the best transportation in the world. 💗💗💗

Loved the Grandma joke. What an amazing trip for you! Thanks for sharing.

The only thing faster than this train is me clicking on this video!!

Hey! How are you? I did a marathon and watched all your videos. I love watching it after a day of work and relieving the fatigue of a busy day. Waiting for new journeys! Hugs from Brazil!!!

3:16 bro made us jumpscare with an entire essay inside captions

This is incredible! I’m currently learning Japanese to one day visit and do stuff like this and watching your videos really keeps me motivated. Adding this train ride to the list 😅

Wow, that maglev train just went past so quickly. Japan really is number one when it comes to high speed rail and you must be so proud as a Japanese showing the rest of the world how it's done. 😍

500km/h experience, this is amazing!It is a train that I definitely want to ride once it is put into practical use.Thank you for the fun video.

Wow, insane and intense! When everybody went "woah--", I was as excited as if I was inside the train!

in end 2016 i rode on the fastest currently operational maglev in Shanghai, and that train was crazy loud and absolutely terrifying when passing by another maglev running at the top speed of 400-ish km/h. Compared to that maglev this maglev is so quiet and unbelievable. truly japan makes amazing technology. edit: hello fellas, all this post is saying is that the shanghai maglev was far noisier than the L0. fast train is fast and go brrrrr edit edit: to clarify, the ride is only momentarily scary when the maglev traveling in the opposite direction passes by with a combined relative speed of >800km/h, which for context would be like getting buzzed by a cruising-speed commercial jet whilst standing still. the rattling in that passing-by is very loud

thanks for sharing😃

Thx for the subtitles! ♥

Although not cherished by everyone, especially not the locals, this is an infrastructure project that will most likely change Japan long-term. It will be incomparable to any other railway line and will hopefully function as a great example for high speed railway in the future 😁😁

Wow amazing i wish i could this experience

Amazing!

Woah amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Amazing!!! And your captions are on point as always haha

Wow, 60 years evolved to today's Maglev....I remember reading about it somewhere in the 2000s and I was already impressed by the "slower" Shinkasen when I was in Japan twelve years later😅

I can't imagine riding on a train doing Mach 0.5. There's barely enough time to eat your complimentary peanuts!

Wow. That is very cool, to experience something like that.

Again great video and great hillarious joke inside. Bit faster than any American Train, Grandma power, and the last scene.

Awesome 🚆!!!

Thank you very much for this video. As French people we also have a lot of very fast trains... But the maglev is INCREDIBLE.

Beautiful video!!! 👍👍👍😉

最近はこのチャンネルの動画をずっと見ています！旅行に行きたい！✈️

Thats really a amazing experiance. Thanks for the Video.

Maglev said KACHOW🏎this is such a cool video. Kudos to you for riding because I think I would pass out😂 cracked me up at the end riding the little version.

Love it!

WOW ....AMAZING !!!

Magnificent 👍👏👍

اخيرا كنت منتظره الفديو الجديد احب فديوهاتك كثيرا وشاهدتها تكثر من مره لا تتاخر في تنزيل الفديوهات احب فديوهاتك كثيرا اشاهدك من مصر ❤️

Impressive job brother 👏

There's a subtle dry humour to your captions that makes me laugh more than I expected I would at times! Also, what an amazing train. I hope the commercial running is a success and the idea spreads.

i own 2 Japanese kitchen knives...the level of care that goes into making them is refreshing...they have so much pride in what they do in Japan...i wish us Americans had that same care...it seems so lacking here...

Increíble vídeo Solo Sama, ustedes están echo de otra pasta, es increíble el prototipo de tren que están elaborando, he visto algunos vídeos de la versión china del Maglev y me quedo con la de ustedes. El diseño del Maglev me recuerda al de un ornitorrinco. No quiero ni imaginar todo el trabajo que hay detrás de este proyecto. Gracias por traernos tu experiencia. Saludos desde Chile.

Ultramindblowing. This one is by far the best about your channels.

Cool train. Love your humour

Thank you for making us laughing every time. I love the future table.😂

I wanted a video like this ..keep making such video 🥺💗

Фантастика.......

this train is really incredible! personally i think it will still evolve park that 603 Km/h is only 29Km/h more than the old speed records made by us the french with our TGV in 2007. i really think when 2027 the Maglev will make much more (800-850 Km/h) and it will create a new means of transport in the world a kind of hybrid between the train and the plane.

That’s so cool to experience

surely the legendary S tier tiolet will be on this train once its fully open!

Thank you from Spain for the wonderful video!!!

Oh, my God. It's amazing. Really fantastic journey. Can't wait this train connect railway lines between Tokyo and Osaka. The unique technology of magnets can allow us reach terrific speeds 500, 600 and even in the nearest future craizy 1 000 km/h. I believe Japanese people will make it possible. Unreal train. Love your channel. 👏

It’s a good day when Solo uploads 😼

The Wikipedia article HAHAHAHA I love your subtitles man!!

Excellent👍👍👍

Amazing!! Hope I live to ride that train.

I hope Shizuoka Prefecture will issue the permit soon.😞

Hello, my good friend... have you ever traveled to Isfahan?! Isfahan is famous for half the world.. Isfahan is a must see.

LEGENDARY

I did the TGV in France, but this is next level.
