Trying the "Dream" Night Bus in Japan | Osaka to Tokyo 

LOL perfect. i was going to reply something to this nature but you have the perfect one already.

This comment slowly made more sense as I watched this video.

All watermelons must arrive safely and intact, as well as the person transporting them, of course.

me too :) this channel's videos bring me so much comfort 😭

@@rosa97509 same i've literally watched every single one. its so relaxing

@@bababooey6969 SAMEE

Precious, much needed comfort x

The sarcasm drips from your comments:::: 😀

not at all. I love this channel very much. @@tapestry6455

I'd like to know why the law in Japan doesn't allow the seat to go back all the way ..isn't that what he said?

@@soniadowney7427 my guess is some kind of safety law incase of a crash or something might be higher likely hood of being injured after a certain degree?

@@soniadowney7427 It's a much bigger safety hazard if a car crash happens, compared to sitting up or at a recline.

Never heard of steam masks.

Watermelon gang represent. 🍉

Eastern Shore 🍉 the best

If your bus seat does not come with a net, Japan does have cube-shaped watermelons available.

I think STJ was making a joke about something hard falling on your head, such as a watermelon. Ah, so.

@@2eleven48 I always carry one. I crush it with my prosthetic foot as a party trick

is best

yeah for anti social people.

@@xondeez757 if you want you can, but neighborly ties is important in japan especially countryside,always communicate with each other and helping each other You're overgeneralizing the case of a few people. There are people in the West who spend all day playing games as well.

But the people are always so entertaining, no?

@@susanhafferkamp4325 Entertaining is one word for it 😭

@@camillegrinnaux879 That's one way of putting it lol

@@susanhafferkamp4325 'entertaining' is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence ))

Thanks for the breakfast!

Greyhound

@@ananasbanana they're not in canada anymore

Yup

Well, not that you're missing much... But the long distance bus is a cheap alternative to every other transport I must agree. The overnight train is still the best!)

But ya got a steam mask???

The Shinkansen non-reserved seats cost just as much as the dream liner, so unless you are someone who can sleep on busses the Shinkansen is a better option only taking 2.5h

The Shinkansen costs just as much as the dream liner if you take non-reserved seats (you still get a seated place usually, just not designated) and only takes 2.5h from Osaka to Tokyo. So unless you can actually sleep on busses and want to save hotel costs, the dream liner bus is not a cheaper or more convenient option.... there are regular night busses that only cost 7,000Yen that I prefer since I can't fall asleep anyway but just want to save money (seats are normal bus seats).

So you LIKE adverts?

@@antispindr8613 No, I don't. But I want to support your channel.

@@m.araneta8054 While a short advert or two is okay-ish, what I object to is the number of rubbish ads on RU-vid. Are they not getting out-of-hand?

Only worth it if you are a person who can sleep on busses... otherwise take the Shinkansen or cheaper bus than the dream liner.

Why the fear?

I think they're good for cheap weekend trips. You don't need a hotel for Friday night, because you sleep on the way up.

@@kaganda4315 Does everyone take that many weekend trips?

Well driving your own car is really expensive between the cost of the vehicle, insurance, gas etc, and many of the roads are $$ toll roads. For the millions of people who live in the big cities and don’t own cars, this is how you go visit people and places. It makes sense to travel at night if you aren’t driving because then you aren’t wasting precious vacation minutes getting from point A to B. The ferries also are a vital part of the goods transportation system for the country. Truckers use them the way a truckers in other parts of the world would use a truck stop. A place to rest, eat, enjoy a bath etc, especially the cheap group sleeping areas, but at the same time still moving goods. Some of the ferries even have designated trucker facilities. Scheduling the ferry at night let’s the drivers sleep at night and drive during the day.

@@Are_We_Having_Tea I'm not saying it's a bad thing, or that it isn't cost effective, just that I am surprised there are enough people who need to travel frequently enough to make it profitable. Certainly it is, it just surprised me.

At these prices it’s not for a cheap weekend trip. It’s comparable to plane or train. The two factors are departure time and sleep. The last flight out of KIX is at 9:15pm, so you’d need to be at the airport by 7:45pm, which means you’d have to leave the city by 6:45pm. The last shinkansen departs at 9:21pm and arrives at Tokyo Station before midnight. That means you get two hours of sleep before you go home and maybe sleep a few more hours before leaving for work. This bus departs at 11pm, and you get 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
