    Arigatougozaimasu, Rion. I always enjoy your Shinkansen and local train travel videos. Virtual traveling with you is a fun experience. I hope you have a great visit to Osaka. I'm very much looking forward to more videos to come: USJ Halloween, Shinkansen Gran Class, Hiroshima and Fukuoka. 🚅🎃

    It such a fun to see how happy you are to be in your hometown again, which is totally normal. Although you have left it recently in the meantime obvious changes occured. You were lucky to get the non-reserved seat in super crowded Nozomi shinkansen at Friday late afternoon or even evening. It is interesting how many trains are leaving Tokyo within such short time intervals, but when taking into consideration the population of Tokyo and the fact that people from other parts of Japan tend to work there it is quite resonable. So your anniversary video took you back to the place where everything started in the past. Again congrats to both the anniversary of your channel and your usual excelent job. Looking forward to new travel adventures soon to come.

    Thank you for the updates Rion! The travel updates about the trains and Shinkansen really help. That's my biggest worry for my trip. I'm not good with direction and worried I'm going to get lost or not make a reservation when I need to, so these help a lot. :) T minus 2 weeks! I'm currently working on cramming all my stuff into a small enough case where I won't have to make a reservation on the train lol.
    Let's keep walking!
    Also glad your mic still works ok after dropping!

    Watching your videos almost everyday - super interesting and informative.
    Have been visiting Japan every year since 2018 (except during the pandemic) and will be going to Hokkaido the end of October.Just can't seem to get enough of Japan.
    Every time I miss Japan, I'll watch one of your videos - makes me feel like I'm in Japan traveling with you
    Can you please make a video to help us navigate Umeda/Osaka stations as well as the areas around these stations? This area is kinda confusing and hence challenging to find our way around.
    Thank you so much.😊

I love the night views on your train ride, I can never get enough of the Tokyo lights. Regarding Gran Class, Just do it! We rode it in 2017, it was awesome, it ended too soon. Its cheaper than a First Class Air ticket. Looking forward to seeing Universal studios Halloween thru you. Keep Walking!

    After watching all of your videos & joining your live streams during the pandemic, I was so excited to finally see the places & eat the foods you’ve introduced when I visited this past summer. 🤩 Unfortunately, some things have already changed, like the fancy apple juice vending machine in Tokyo Station, but I really enjoyed strolling through the Namba Parks Garden after eating at Kua Aina. Now, I’m pleasantly surprised that there are still many new places & foods to try (i.e. Hoshino Coffee & Country Ma’am). 😋 Can’t wait to feel the Osaka Spirit when I return for the World Expo & wear that Myaku Myaku T-shirt! 😎✨ (1st version, not 2nd 😂)

    Because of the recent update to the JR Pass going up astronomically, I’d say it’s probably not worth buying anymore. It’s so expensive now 🥺

  • @ReiwaMagi
    @ReiwaMagi Год назад +2

    Hey Rion. Just to let you know that as of October 1st, all JR Rail Pass users can now use the Nozomi or Mizuho Shinkansen but those people need to buy an additional ticket which costs more or less depending on the distance (shortest distance costs an additional 2530 yen while the longest cost almost 10000 yen). Both old and new cost JR Rail pass users can use this feature. In my opinion it is not that worth it for most travelers (especially on the Tokaido side) but people that are in a hurry and willing to spend can pay more and use it

    Is it still cheaper to get JR pass for the foreign travellers to travel via Shinkanshen? Or it's better to try your luck at discounted tickets booth? Some said it's cheaper to take domestic flight than traveling via Shinkansen with the recent price hike lately? I guess Okonomiyaki is not an ideal food of choice when one is in a rush, same goes with Takayuki? Risk of third degrees burn on the tongue and buccal mucosa. So, are you going to attend the USJ Halloween Party/Parade?

    @steveokubo5865 Год назад +1

    Not sure I understand. So, if you purchase the Shinkansen ticket from that discount ticket store, the date is another day, so you have to go to the JR Ticket desk to reissue a ticket with a date for the day you're traveling on the Shinkansen? Is that why the tickets are discounted? If I totally misunderstood, please explain the part about changing the date. Thank you.
