Hi Shiba Shiba! New subscriber here! I am making a DIY itinerary for this coming December and I would like to thank you for giving this virtual guide on the WHEREs and HOWs. My itinerary is slowly having a great shape and color :) I just wanted to ask, in this video going to Motomachi from Namba Station, can I use my IC card?
Hi! Thank you for the comment and subscribing. You can use an IC card such as SUICA and ICOCA. If you have any other questions, feel free to comment again.😊
That was a very interesting video. I plan to visit Kobe when I visit Japan in late October. If it is not too much trouble, I would love a video going from Namba station to Himeji castle. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you for the video. Maybe next time, may we request that you add the amount of time it takes from one point to the end of the destination. This was very helpful, as we will visit Kobe for a day. Have a wonderful weekend
Thank you! I am glad that you gave me a valuable opinion. I will add the time from next time. In this video, it took about 50 minutes from Osaka Namba station to Motomachi Station. Osaka Namba → [23 min] → Amagasaki → [26min] → Motomachi
Hi Siba-shiba. I am visiting Japan again in a a few months time and am finding your videos really helpful especially getting from Kansai airport to Namba and visiting Kobe. I know you have already been asked but I would also like a video of how to get from Namba station to Himeji to see the castle and maybe Shoshazan Engyoji Temple. Thank You
Greeting Shiba-Shiba san. In most of your video, I saw that you were always taking the stairs to the platform, I wonder if you did so because you want to used it or there have no escalators in those stations? I asked this question because I have mobility problem and couldn't take many stairs like you did therefore I wouldn't go to Kobe or Himeji at all!
Thanks for your comment. Although in this video I use only stairs, escalators and lifts are available at major train stations in Japan. About six months ago, one of my subscribers asked me to shoot them in my videos, so since then I have been using escalators and lifts when I film videos. Regrettably, this video was made before that.
Hi Shiba Shiba May I ask you a few questions? 1) How do I get to Kobe from Tokyo? Take Tokaido Shinkansen? 2) same question but it is from Kyoto. Take Sanyo Shinkansen. I see the route map and it stops at Shin-Kobe. I am not sure if Shin-Kobe same as Kobe. I want to visit Tokyo, Kobe, Kyoto and Fukuoka next year. Should I go to Tokyo first, Kobe. Kyoto and then Fukuoka? Does this route more save time and money? Or I should start Fukuoka first, Kyoto, Kobe and Tokyo. I am flexible and would like to get some insights from you. Thanks.
Hi! (1) Shikansen is fast and comfortable but a little pricy. By taking JR Special Rapid Service, it is possible to save money. from KYOTO to SHIN-KOBE Shinkansen ... 2,870 JPY from KYOTO to KOBE JR Special Rapid Service ... 1,110 JPY (2)Shin-kobe station and Kobe station are not the same. For details, see the link below. www.google.com/maps/dir/%E6%96%B0%E7%A5%9E%E6%88%B8%E9%A7%85/%E7%A5%9E%E6%88%B8%E9%A7%85/@34.6927756,135.1648479,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x60008ec34f49fb8b:0x790b10d9f54938fb!2m2!1d135.1954675!2d34.7062884!1m5!1m1!1s0x60008f06248d2ba5:0xe18bcac6085831c3!2m2!1d135.1779935!2d34.6797674?entry=ttu (3)If there is a flight from Fukuoka back to your country, it would be better to travel to Tokyo, Kyoto, Kobe and Fukuoka in that order.
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan One of my family members just told me that she can’t join me for the whole trip so I have to go to Fukuoka first. If that is case, I should go with this order, Fukuoka, Kobe. Kyoto and Tokyo. It is opposite direction that you suggested since she can’t go Tokyo with me. I have to take either Shinkansen from Shin-Kobe or JR Special Rapid from Kobe to Kyoto. Would that work?
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan Hi Shiba Shiba, do you have a link that I can look into JR Rapid Service schedule? Want to see how long it will take from Kyoto to Kobe or Kobe to Kyoto. The line that I need to take is Tokaido Line
Hi! See the link below for details. jprail.com/trains/sort-by-type/rapid-service/special-rapid-service.html Between Shin-Kobe and Kyoto, Special Rapid Service trains run every 15 minutes.
