My niece was on the Narita Express leaving Japan in 2011 - you know where this is going - she was on the train when the Big Earthquake hit. Train stops, no power. They eventually got power, but the train couldn't move until they finished inspecting the track. They got some busses to take people to Narita, but she thought of the benches in Narita vs the seats on the train, and stayed with the train until it eventually got to the airport. They brought food and blankets for the people who stayed on the train and she slept well while waiting for things to settle out. Her phone was working so we did get a text that she was fine, the train was safe and she would get home eventually. Neither the tracks or the airport were damaged in any major way, so she made it home just fine after a delay.
Like I said in my first comment ever, I've been binge watching your videos. I adore them. I feel like I'm with you and it's a lovely quiet time. Glad to see you enjoying your curry even in a current video. I know it's a favorite of yours. :)
It's RUclips tradition that if the title of a video is a question, the answer is always "no". Glad to see you understood that, STJ! Curry would be the first thing I'd have upon arrival in Japan. And also the last thing. And in between.
I've never had curry, but I believe watching your great video's has made me want nothing but curry😁😋. If I ever get to Japan...I'm not leaving. Then I'll get to eat everything!😉😀☝👏
If you live near an HMart or other Asian grocery store you can get S&B curry which is Japanese style. It's very easy to make :) Sometimes you can find it at other stores too
How neat, I was on the economy Narita Express maybe a week after you were here. The economy experience is quite nice, quiet and relaxing enough we could get some rest before our flight across the Pacific. Much better than the regular train for sure.
Great work Solo san it was like watching a home movie as my family and I have travelled on the Nex many times. Not green class.. In Queensland the train from Airport to Gold Coast is about 90 min. No where on that train is somewhere to put luggage. No recliner seats. That's why we live the travelling to Japan. And you my friend show off your beautiful country well. Gidday from Down Under 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
And to answer your question from the title, I'd say not really. The seats are quite worn and damaged, and really not all that different from a standard seat. I'd pay the premium on school excursion day, but otherwise I'd go for standard.
The last thing I ate before I left Japan was a tempura set in Haneda a few days ago on my flight to the Philippines. As I'm going through Haneda again for my trip back home, I may consider another meal set.
Curry is pretty high up my list of food I want to eat before leaving Japan. Basically, for the Green seat you are paying for a nicer seat material, more leg space, a footrest, and dealing with less people while getting off 😅
Last thing my daughter and I ate? We spent almost all the money left on our Pasmo cards at 7-11 Kinshicho, buying Hi-chews, Calbee chips, strange drinks, Melty kiss... everything! And gorged on it on the flight home.
The curry certainly looked mouth watering, I'm sure it was delicious and I will try it on my next visit to my daughter in Tokyo. BUT before I leave for Canada, I want Tokyo Banana !! My sweet tooth demands it. Very good video, I'll try the N'EX on my next visit. .
I took the N'EX Green Car heading to Narita to fly home. While it was a little more expensive, it was worth it since it was so quiet compared to the ordinary car, which during that time was filled with a lot of people. Also got lucky to have the whole car to myself.
I was riding the Narita Express and noticed some passengers that were speaking Australian-English. One of the passengers had been in Japan for a while and went to the airport to pick up his friend. I think it was in the Green car and there was the trolley service with an attendant selling snack. "Hey, you wanna a beer?" said the first man in a booming voice. They both had a beer, while the first man explained how easy it is to get a beer in Japan.
The Keisei _Skyliner_ is actually a very nice train but it does have one huge downside: you have to do a transfer either at Nippori or Keisei Ueno Station to get on a train to get to other parts of Tokyo. At least with _Narita Express_ , you go directly to the main Tokyo area stations, which is very convenient if your Tokyo hotel is near these stations.
I took the Skyliner about half a year back going to Narita Station, and to be honest, I was slightly disappointed with the seats. The old generation trains were way better and luxurious. But it was only about 40 minutes and it's also cheaper, so I guess one gets what he pays for. The accessibility you mentioned is another issue. Changing at Ueno Station via JR line isn't that easy as well because you have to transfer to a separate building which would be a hassle for those with mobility problems. So at most cases, yeah, just take the Narita Express. Or, if your airline flight times align with your preferences, just use Haneda Airport as point of entry
Great trip. To be honest I want Katsu Curry, but I'm aware about Pork product, because I can't eat it. To be fair, Green Class just winning by seat width and more legroom, but other than that no difference with Standard seat.
I've noticed quite a few of Solo Travels vids have very uncongested trains. This is great, because Japan has prioritized quality mass transit, as opposed to the dirty, bloated and entitled US public transit systems that only prioritize freight. Also, re reclining seats, in the US some morbidly obese person would be likely to recline fully and f-bomb any suggested requests towards politeness. (US train travelers need to separate from the pig people and get a roomette.)
My last meal in Japan was a Hokkaido cheese plate and fries from a place in Haneda terminal 3. My actual dream meal is anything from Katsutoku Toyohira in Sapporo. ❤
Before leaving japan I ate ramen, maybe next time it will be curry😉The minute you said eww to the stain on the seat, I knew you wouldn't give a five star experience😂
Chicken Katsu is similar to Texas's Chicken Fried Chicken. We use a thicker batter, though. Your coffee and cupcake dessert: we call it a cake roll, not cupcake. Our cupcakes are baked in round muffin pans, mini, regular or large sizes, with frosting on top of them.
I've used this train in 2019. I've been to Narita 3 times. In 2019 I was very disappointed with food services and duty free in the airport. I love Kansai International Airport the best.
Before I left Japan, I ate a few things at Haneda: Onigiri Konga, Yoshinoya, Mos Burger, Tully's...but the last thing I specifically got because I knew I would miss it once I was gone was some curry-pan from 7-11. It sounds like a lot, but I was at Haneda for a while on my last day in Japan and I got there really early so everything I ate was spread out fairly well. I really hope I can get back there sooner rather than later, I miss it.
4:05 It's always a great day when you've posted a new video :) As for Green Cars being "worth it", for mobility impaird people, the Green Car is our only option, since Japan has no disability anti-discrimination regulations to require that _ALL_ carriages on new constructed trains, are disabled accessible. On the existing rolling stock, the only carriages made with entry doorways wide enough to be disabled accessible, are Green Cars. Not regular carriages on suburban trains or express ones like the N'EX, or the regular carriages or even the Gran Class ones on the Shinkansens. Nope, for mobility impaired, the strictly limited number of spaces on Green Class carriages is all there is for us.
@@tmntleo I look at things from a disabled user's perspective, because I always have to figure out how I'd get my 82cm wide rollator walker into or out of places, and on or off public transport, when I'm thinking about where I'd like to travel, if I could win the lottery. Being on the pension, with how bad inflation is here in Australia, no way to save money for travel, so winning the lottery is the only chance to afford to travel. While there's nothing like the current model Shinkansen here, and it's odds on there never will be, for suburban train travel here in my state, ALL carriages on all suburban trains here are disabled accessible. That's the standard I'm comparing Japanese trains to. That high degree of accessability will be great in 2032 when Brisbane hosts the Olympics and Paralympics.
@@t4N9410oR I am disabled and in the UK and one of the things I don't have issues with is the public transport funnily enough. I vary between a walking stick, rolling walker and wheelchair depending on the day and I've never had issues with buses or trains. I am always looking at stuff through a disabled lens as well, but I didn't know how bad it was in Japan until I started watching channels like this and all I see are stairs, thin isles etc.
I heard that in Japan, a wheelchair-bound passenger was even called 'self-centred' by netizens & told to take a taxi instead when she asked for more level boarding platforms
@@lzh4950 Carriage door level platforms help, but they are not the be all solve. There's always the gap between the carriage door, and the platform, so a ramp is always needed.
"What is the last thing you want to eat before you leave Japan" because my bananna Republic The Netherlands has a huge offer on sushi, i would say Okonomiyaki or Tomkatsu❤❤❤ thinks for the great journey's
Great. Now I've got to make chicken katsu with curry. And I'm hungry. And on a diet. Well, I'll do it for everybody when my niece and nephew next come for a visit. The kitchen doesn't get any messier wether I make one or twenty.
Wifi was working? I took the Narita express, connected to on-board wifi, then i had to fill my e-mail to get the confirmation mail. I opened my mailbox, clicked on the link and got a 404 error. I was actually impressed that IT problems are the same worldwide. 🙂
Curry is the first and last thing John has to eat. Coco is favourite then GoGo. We are back in Tokyo in January and want to try a more local curry shop. Can you recommend anything in particular? Also love your content. Hopefully we will return end of next year also and try the ferry to Hokkaido. Keep up the good work Solo 🤗
I haven't been to Japan yet, so i can't say what my last meal would be before leaving, but,,,, i've always wanted to try unadon ☺️✨ It look super delicious, glaze make my mouth water every time i see it ww
I don't think I have ever seen the point in the Green Car on most services. It's a lot of expense for not much extra. If you got some food and drink like on Gran Class, maybe it would be worth it.
I agree, for my wife & I (both in our 70's) Green Car is worth it on the Harukah when returning from Kyoto to Kansai Airport. The standard cars fill up quickly in our experience & we've seen passengers standing all the way to the airport on multiple occasions. Also, on one occasion in standard class, I had to stand from the airport to Tennoji on the last service for the night
The last thing I ate before I left Japan was a European/British roast meat with gravy - because I'd become nostalgic for home food after two weeks of Japanese food.😁
Last dinner is always Sushi in this exceptional bar in Narita. I prefer to sleep the last night in Narita and take the local train to the airport. If the flight is not in the morning I will eat something at the airport, but I have not found something great there yet in the waiting area.
I've only just returned from Japan. What I wanted for my last meal there was either Yakitori or donburi, followed by one last Coolish. Unfortunately, I made some mistakes (don't do all your souvenir hunting on the last day, it eats all your time) and didn't have the time to stop for food before the flight. And then the Lawsons/Family Mart at Haneda only had cups of ice for iced lattes in their freezer. I'll be back though. And no Coolish will be safe.
Curry! There's a place in Tokyo Station that does a great curry, I always ate there on the way home (back to the USA). It was one of those restaurants that you buy a ticket and then give the ticket to a server.
The N'EX Ordinary seat is enough. It's spacious. I believe those that use the green cars are mainly those that already have the Green JR Pass. And if you already bought that pass, you won't want to go to the ordinary car.
I feel like the last thing I would like to try before leaving Japan.. Is either tonkatsu or curry. I feel like i would try ramen at another point during the travel~
It’s so silly for every seat to be booked when the train is empty. In Ireland we would just move seat without asking when there is clearly so much space.
OMG, I'm also having a curry with rice & omelette as breakfast at La Toque on the day that I'm leaving Japan back to Malaysia. And yes, La Toque is halal certified.
0:29 Green Car would be better described as Business Class rather than First Class, because there are even higher classes, such as Premium Green Car and Gran Class.
There’s a benefit to having conductors on trains. Owing to penny-pinching, in the USA very few trains have conductors now, so if there were a spilled drink on your reserved seat, you’d probably either have to live with wet pants, or else get into a fistfight with another passenger to change seats, or else just sit somewhere else on your own and then receive some weird bill in the mail when the facial recognition cameras detected you were in the wrong seat and the train company decided to penalize you to make a few extra dollars.
I'm curious why the conductor made you move. Did someone else sit in 7A? As for is it worth it for the Green Car, I'd say if you're still sharing an arm rest, is it _really_ "first class?"
They asked to move because someone had spilled something on 7A. The seats are all reserved, so they had to make sure they weren't moving to a seat someone had bought
I have too many things that I want to eat before I leave Japan: Hokkaido melon, grilled king crab legs, unagi don, matcha soft serve ice cream, Ichigo Daifuku, Oden.....etc etc
My traditional pre departure meal is always sushi. While its possible to get good sushi where i live it doesnt quite hit the level of quality for price you get in Japan even at the airport.
My niece was on the Narita Express leaving Japan in 2011 - you know where this is going - she was on the train when the Big Earthquake hit. Train stops, no power.

Yay! A new video! ❤️👍🏻

Owing to penny-pinching, in the USA very few trains have conductors now, so if there were a spilled drink on your reserved seat, you’d probably either have to live with wet pants, or else get into a fistfight with another passenger to change seats, or else just sit somewhere else on your own and then receive some weird bill in the mail when the facial recognition cameras detected you were in the wrong seat and the train company decided to penalize you to make a few extra dollars.
I would like to make love to Hello Kitty. Is this beautiful dream beyond reach?
CURRY! DEFINITELY! 🩷🩷
The seats look similar to our ITX-Saemaeul.
Don't worry, I'll make today a great day ❤
If I could only try one thing in Japan, I think it would either be chicken nanban or Yamagata style soba restaurant ramen.
I'm curious why the conductor made you move. Did someone else sit in 7A?
As for is it worth it for the Green Car, I'd say if you're still sharing an arm rest, is it _really_ "first class?"
They asked to move because someone had spilled something on 7A. The seats are all reserved, so they had to make sure they weren't moving to a seat someone had bought
It is exactly the same as what I want to eat when I enter Japan for the first time. Shrimp tempura.
I don’t ALWAYS WATCH, so don’t thank me for doing that!
I have too many things that I want to eat before I leave Japan: Hokkaido melon, grilled king crab legs, unagi don, matcha soft serve ice cream, Ichigo Daifuku, Oden.....etc etc
What about CURRY?? 😢
My traditional pre departure meal is always sushi. While its possible to get good sushi where i live it doesnt quite hit the level of quality for price you get in Japan even at the airport.
What is the top speed this train runs?
15:21 They spelled purchased incorrectly D:
