What it's Like Taking the Japanese Bullet Train to Work 

What’s your go-to lunch box when you ride the shinkansen? Give the veggie one a shot next time - promise it’s impressively yummy😄🙌🏻❤️

I'm Japanese highschool student. I like your video because it is good for my study English.😍😍😍 Every summer and winter,I ride shinkansen to go to my grandmother's house😎

So happy we could go on a trip together! Definitely getting that bento from now on 👌🏻✨

Love how you and Emma calmly eat your bentos without acknowledging that you're travelling at hyperspeed with the universe melting past outside the window.

Such a small universe of english vloggers in Japan. seems like there's only like 6 or something, and everyone appears in everyone else's vlogs. kinda cool though, like a little family!

Sharles, love your eye-rolling "All right" when responding to Emma's "I think we should start with the bento and have donuts for dessert" response. Hahaha! Thanks, both! Can't wait for your vids from Kyoto!

I’m in Tokyo currently and I would of been way less comfortable without your channel over the years. As someone with anxiety it’s been very reassuring and your videos helped a lot! Thanks for helping me make my dream vacation possible :)

The FF7 victory music was awesome lol

My favourite youtuber. You deserve every success you get. Hard working, smart and positive. A winning combination.

I miss Japan so much. I cried when I left. Thanks for bringing back memories and making me wish I was there again!

these everyday vids are my favorites.. Not to mention that I could watch Emma and Shari any time.

I love shinkansen travel! It's by far the best way to travel anywhere in the world. Also, a collab with Tokidoki Traveller is always a good thing!

love the way you collaborate with Abroad in Japan and Tokyo creative. it's good fun:D

I love your take on blogging about Japan! Without extra fills just your day and giving the true impression of what it’s like. Love from the UK ❤️

When I went to Japan for the first time I took the bullet train from tokyo to kyoto and HAD to grab one of those veggie lunch boxes because i was so excited there was a vegan option. it was actually super easy to find (i feel like im just used to vegan options being harder to find lol, but it was easy!), and so yummmmyyyyy!!! I miss it, watching this video made me miss it more!!!! those donuts look so good i am going to save that place in my list of stuff to eat when i go back to japan. Actually watching videos on the bullet trains, even tho there is huge crowds makes me miss it bc it is so much more fun and simple than transportation when i go to the US or even here in canada. everything is just so smooooth in japan lol

Omg this popped up at the exact time I needed it, I’ll be taking the Shinkansen to Kyoto in a week! I’ll have to give 駅弁屋 a try!

Thats is so cool! I'm watching the YTVideos of both of you since years! And now finially to see you both together in one video is so awesome! Thanks for it 😍😍😍

I always get the beef sukiyaki bento box at the train station in Tokyo...even in the mornings...can't go wrong with a morning beef set!

I just went on a trip to Japan at the end of May/beginning of July and we took the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo, so this video is bringing back so many good memories!! I also had an ekiben (a special Osaka version with kuchikatsu, takoyaki, and fried rice). I never realized the bento boxes are made out of foam! I'll also never forget how crazy Tokyo station was!! Can't wait to go back someday soon

Omg Tokyo Station. I live in a big city and still got so overwhelmed I wanted to cry lol - well done finding the bento spot!

When the victory music played, I automatically started moving my arms like Cloud when he wins a match.

It's actually impossible to resist smiling when when Sharla smiles. Those dimples, I'm killed... Lol

シャーラに笑顔が戻ってきて私は嬉しい！　I am glad that smile comes back to Sharah

When I went to japan back in 2015 I took this from Tokyo to Kyoto and it was so much fun!

This brings back memories, I had to take the Shinkansen to Hamamatsu twice a week and of course always stopped at an Ekiben for the ride! ❤️

So stoke for the two of you together! I have watched both your channels for a long time!!!

I've been watching your videos for so long now and I remember subscribing to Emma a year or so ago and it's so nice to have two of my fave youtube worlds collide haha!

I haven't seen one of your videos in AGES! I've been studying (university) but am finally on holiday, and it's so nice to see all your adventures.

Yes the colab we've all been waiting for!

I got second hand social anxiety from watching you go through the crowd. 😅

I love how polite Sharala is when she buys stuff

You two look SO CUTE eating your powdered donuts. Thank you for putting a smile on my face.😊

Sharla thank u for making your videos downloadable they get me through the day when Im in class and it gets super super boring

Loved your cycle across Japan with Chris from Abroad In Japan!

So happy to see you both together..... I love your channels, sharmeleon and tokidoki traveller❤

Ohh I've had that bento too! And was also pleasantly surprised by it, especially the crumble on top of the rice! Happy memories hearing the shinkansen chime in the background 😆

These videos are super helpful where you show vegan options in Japan. Thank you so much :)

1. Fabulous as always, Sharla. 2. Once you & your crew were on the shinkansen, all I could think was, “OH BOY! THAT’S DONNA BURKE DOING THE ENGLISH ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE TRAIN!”

New video from Sharla! Yayyyy!! :D

I have to try a veggie bento next time i go to Japan! i know this sounds silly, but watching you make and eat veggie based meals makes it easier for me to be a vegetarian, Sharla! I still get cravings for meat here and there but i power through it. Today i got some veggie deli slices and made an amazing sandwich! Thank you again ^^

Good to travel with friends, good friendship and look after each other

That triumphal moment when you finally found Ekibenya...that's just good stuff right there! This vlog had it all! Adventure! Drama! A race against time! Then the ultimate climax of delicious food! 5 stars! 😂 I loved the chill sit-down time after the halfway point!

it is my 1st Fathers Day with out my Dad , I cried at work and came home to try to relax and YAY I get Sharla time...you have no idea how much your chill vibes and videos just whisk me away. I need to always comment and be a CREEP to really really really mean it. I needed a little visit . Thanks DUDE!

Haha, I liked the count down animation. Creative.

Those are some very nice containers they give you with the Bento .

This may sound like an odd question, but what do you do with the Bento container after you are done eating, They look well made and designed. Are they recyclables?

I've gotten that exact veggie bento before on the way to Kyoto! Yummy. This is making me really nostalgic for Japan 😭

Sharla please make a vegan in Japan video. I can't believe there's vegan bento boxes now 😍😍

I could watch this video over and over. Great content, great quality and hits the sweet spot for video length. Knocking it out of the park with this one Sharmander.

Ugh, your nerdiness with the Zelda "success" theme. I love it.

Kim just suddenly all casually there at 5:58 totally surprised me. 😂🙌 This was so fun to watch, loved the bentos and the honest opinions! And donuts. 😍🍩

I love seeing the three of you together!!

When I decide to be hungry, I watch yours or Chris's videos.

The editing in this video is so good 🙌 so fun to watch! I traveled to Japan in 2017 and took the Shinkansen but... I didn’t have a bento for the ride 🙈 it’s on my list for my next visit!

Tokyo station is a maze but I love exploring it. The information counters are very helpful so I'm surprised you guys didn't suggest them.

i'm visiting a school in germany that teaches japanese. i'm in my second semester, and just being able to read the kanjis and hiragana/katakana in your videos make me feel so accomplished and a step closer to my dream. i was thirteen (eighteen now, soon to be nineteen) when your videos inspired me to start studying the language and to work in japan. they always motivate me to get my bum moving and to study more and harder! thank you so much

Hey Kim I saw you! Lol 😂Y’all are so fun to watch, love the video💕

THanks a whole bunch Sharla!! Love the info from the bento box to train...

5:02 victory royale from Final Fantasy! :O love it!

I definitely agree with you Sharla it’s like a maze. Hope you enjoyed Kyoto and I’m loving Japan so far. Currently studying at Kudan

Love the bento boxes! I hope that you keep the beautiful box to reuse. Have a fun trip. God bless

Love your videos soooooo much you are coming out of your shell more and more keep it going girl

this video immediately makes me wanna move/experience Japan... and I'm only 4 mins in lol

Hi Sharla thanks for the video :) Can you do a video about being a vegan in Japan I am moving in August and I am very excited but wondering about that aspect of living in Japan. xx

I’m not vegan, but I do like to eat vegan meals pretty often, so I definitely want to get one of those vegetable bento if I’m ever at Tokyo Station. It looked so good! My favorite part probably would probably be the squash. That’s always my favorite part of tempura. I love that kind of squash.

That was so cool! OMG, that veggie bento looked amazing- I would eat that in a heartbeat 😍😋

I. want. to. go. to. Japan! videos like this make me very curioous about this country

emma looks so nice and stress-free :')

SO glad you guys filmed this together i love you both! And just FYI for anyone thinking of using a bullet train I used one in France and I get car sick and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever felt. I wanted to jump out of my skin. It was by far the worst nausea I have never felt probably by like 5 times. At first I was sitting the opposite direction that the train was moving and of course that didn't help anything but the stewardess was so nice she found me another seat. And then I could stand it but just barely. So be prepared and bring nausea medication I also found sitting next to the window helped.

Loved the final fantasy tune for victory 🤣

5:51 this just turned into a mukbang hahaha

Random this was the the video that started it all for me on your channel. I wasn't there from day one, but now i binge all your vlogs now and then rewatch, almost as many times i've seen the office (which is a lot). I love seeing the daily life of living in Japan 😍 Looks like a good time. I hope to travel there soon! So bentos on me if i ever see you around the shinkansen! 😋

Love your videos Sharla (and Emma!). I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks in Japan in April and am now desperate to go back for an extended amount of time to see more of the country and learn more about Japanese culture. I'm finding it difficult to find work in my field (experienced and qualified data analytics/database development professional) or work on an English teaching scheme without a college degree. I think a good idea for a video would be one offering advice for people wanting to move to Japan; both professionals (like myself) where there is limited information out there and those doing working holidays & teaching English too with/without degrees. Maybe with some friends who have taken the different routes in! Thanks :)

I went to that same bakery the last time I was in Tokyo Station waiting to ride the Shinkansen too. 😂Those bento boxes look pretty high-quality, though. 😮 Can't wait to see what you did on your trip to Kyoto! I miss my hometown in Japan. ❤️

Thank you for the ride. I'll check that off on my to do list. Definitely interested it what you did the 3 day's. Will be watching. Your videos are always enjoyable. There are no words in any language that can express just how much joy your channel brings me. Because of you I'm seeing doing and experiencing a culture and country I'd love to spend years exploring and learning about but will never become more than just a dream fulfilled thru your beautiful eyes and camera lens. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Great video! I really enjoy watching your adventures.

Really enjoyed this video. The Bento box looks so good

You're right. Tokyo station is a labyrinth even for me as a person who grew up in Tokyo. I can't always afford BENTO when I take the bullet train😂

Great vlog, thanks for notification

The Japanese really know how to make food look appealing. I love all the little bits and pieces Dad would bring us home from business trips.

Thanks! You made me hungry AGAIN! LOL loved the video. Keep them coming.

YAY a new Sharla video!!!! Made my day :D Sharla, you rock my socks

Great video, and it's awesome to see you're including some more Japanese text in them, so we can (hopefully) learn a few words/phrases! Keep it up!

Such a good video! The bullet train really is amazing! ♡

Im taking that train in october but opposite way lol visiting japan first time its a dream 😍 cant wait. Seems a simple train ☺

Your vids make me more into and try more and more vegan/ vegetarian food❤️ As a kid, I hated them, but now I just love them ❤️

That awkward moment when it got revealed that Kimdao is there too. Then she was gone again for the rest of the video :D

Great Video! I really like your vlog style.Two thumbs up and a very nice!👍👍👌

The onboard bento box is so cute! The experience of eating on bullet trains is my favourite, meal with a great view :)

I'd love a video of eating vegan in Japan. Like the kanji to look out for to know if it's vegan or not. Love you Sharla 😻

A simple video, but good to watch.

I loooooove the editing that you did on this video!

you were both wearing such cute outfits!

Sharmander looks as beautiful as always, great video too :)

The bento and donut look so yummy! 🤤 I loved the little time bar at the bottom.

The bento looked so great. The doughnuts reminds me of classical German Berliner/Krapfen/Pfannkuchen. There are several words for it, it's very popular and traditional in Germany

That bento looks so good! Thank you for this great video.

I miss Japan so much, can’t wait to go back in October:)

The guy in front of you listening to all the "Umm... Yummm.. Ummm" in this video. I bet that guy was wishing he had what you had.

Hey love all your videos I been watching all yours videos for two years and I'm planning to become a vegetarian because I think it's a lot healthy. I really enjoy watching your videos makes me feel like I'm in Japan when I watch your videos please continue to post videos your doing a wonderful job and thank you for always sharing your videos and your adventures with us
