In all your videos I really appreciate how you explain things that are confusing. As a visitor I would assume everyone else knows the system and I am just being foolish. It is nice to be reminded that even people who travel the area regularly can run into confusion.
@@kittehgo Good guess, but no; barcodes would be too easily blocked. The tickets are actually magnetically encoded. If you ever see the backside of those tickets, you’ll find that they’re a dark brown-gray color. It’s like the little stripe on a New York MetroCard or SFBART ticket, just across the entire card.
I don’t think its magnetic because magnetism can leak out of both cards at the same time even when they are not that close together and cause a bad read. It could be light and barcode driven because it punches a hole in the ticket at the destination to make sure it can’t be used again. It also needs to have the start location and destination info so it knows that you paid enough for the trip. They wouldn’t want someone paying for a 1 hour bullet train trip and riding it for 5 hour trip, it’s inconceivable that all that info would be magnetically encoded into a paper ticket that would be discarded. It’s likely reads a barcode printed on the sides of ticket. The ticket reader takes multiple tickets at once but it goes through the reader one at a time then combined back at the end and pushed out together, but it does super fast. That’s not all. The machines that sell the tickets can also take multiple cash bills of different denominations at the same time. If that isn’t amazing enough, commuter train ticket selling machines can dispense prepaid rail cards too. Basically it’s a card you can put money into up to 20,000 yen ( 180 US dollars give or take) which can be used to pay for rides on train and even buy things at all the shops and most restaurants in the rail station, and convenience stores and certain shops and restaurants in Japan. The rail cards use NFT (the tap to pay technology, and not the digital art ponsi money scheme).
You are such a nice and humorous person! And you like to travel and you are making really good and highly enjoyable content. You took us to so many journeys and even showed us the little funny mistakes, the happy little accidents. I am shure you will find somebody to couple with and enjoy many journeys in the future together!
If there's one thing I'm finding out about Japan from this channel... its that good food can be had for less than half the price of what it is in my country.
This route is basically what I'd dream to do if I have the time in the future when I go to Japan. Thanks for the video, and looking forward for part 2!
I will say, the self-deprecating humor is quite amusing in these videos. Also, I'm guessing with the hamburger steak restaurant; they must grind their own meat in-house. I don't know how the standards are in Japan, but here in the US it's fine to cook your hamburgers to a medium rare or rare if you're actually grinding your own meat, so I'm assuming that may have something to do with it.
Loved the architecture of Tokyo Station. By the time you reached Hamamatsu , I was also tired. The hotel room was one of the nicest I've seen you stay in. Thank you for taking me along. I will go with you on the second leg of your journey. Take care. 😊
Oh, I think I like the ferry better. But I don't like changing trains so much, so the ferry seems cheaper and more comfortable to me. Thank you for sharing this adventure!
It's astounding how clean and efficient everything is. We pay taxes here, but it's obvious it's not spent in upkeep, or private companies scrimping by not Looking after services. It's a different world here.
Yeah, in Germany trains are always late and/or broken. Traveling by train seems so relaxing in Japan because you know it will work and you will always be on time...
@@neonfarbenrausch I thought Germany was supposed to be efficient etc, I've never been to Germany though so I haven't experienced there. I've been to many other places, but not Japan yet.
Another great video. This one bought back so much nostalgia from riding those same trains from many of the stations you stopped at. You always highlight how english is so confusing, even for me, a native speaker. A single peanut is a peanut, two or more peanuts are peanuts, crushing a bunch of peanuts together into butter... it goes back to peanut. I never realized that's how english does it. ありがと！すごいヴィデオを見ています！
Like your style - every night i wake up because i can't sleep i watch "Solo Travel Japan" videos - so relaxing and fine sense of humor ... but at least after 20 minutes or so i have to go to the fridge looking what could be the victim of my ravenous appetite i always got watching yiur videos. Greetings from Berlin, Germany
Thanks! I watch a ton of your content. I went to Japan in 2013 and it is fun to see some of the places i went again, along with all the cool ferry trips I haven't been on. Hope to make it back again in the next few years.
Great video! That hamburger steak was too rare for me, but it looked good. Its tough being single in a coupling world for sure. I can't wait for part 2!!!
Now I want a peanut butter sandwich. Why do I always get so hungry when I watch your videos, STJ? 🤣 Thanks for showing us that you put the train tickets in together - I would never have known that!
Excellent as always! I remember visiting Japan in 2016 and catching Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagano and then Kanazawa, the use of dual tickets for different parts of the journey was most fascinating! We were able to keep the tickets by asking the gate attendant if we could, and he let us pass through once he manually stamped the ticket as cancelled.
Right on time for a nice relaxing video! I always look forward to seeing where you go and what you eat and your commentary on everything is really enjoyable! Thank you!
I am excited about possibly a food video. I love to watch those. Rare hamburger steak is not for me. I am elderly and have many health probs but is good to see you enjoy it. The train ride was mesmerizing I took a little nap too lol. God Bless Solo Travel Japan
Excellent journey! Will you do some of the branch lines as well, such as the ones leading to the west coast? I bet some of the mountain routes would be beautiful. As always, I love your videos and sharing your adventures.
I cherished my round-trip from Shinjiku to Kyoto via Nagoya. Wonderful experience on Shinkansen but I prefer slower trains to enjoy the scenery and avoid walls, more walls and tunnels. Your travel videos are simply awesome. Thank you.
Thank you so much for showing the connection of the two trains. That was fascinating! And the presentation of the steak was wonderful! I am no so sure I would like it rare, but I would certainly try it! It looks delicious.
I used to live in Furukawa (now part of Osaki) in Miyagi Prefecture. So nice to see some of that area in this video. I really enjoyed my time in Morioka, too. And gyu-tan is one of my favorite dishes. Jealous!
👍🏼 Hamamatsu makes the best photomultiplier tubes in the world! Wanted to mention that even though this is not the Solo Japan Spectroscopy channel! 😉 Good trip so far! 😎✌🏼
Thank you for sharing your long train journey with us! Yes the rare hamburger steak would be something to get used to. I am glad you found out about their standards for producing it.
I love this! Trains are my favourite (although I'm also liking ferries a lot after watching your videos). Really great video! The ticketing stuff looks really confusing lol
I started watching your videos last year. I live in Caracas, Venezuela, and I visited Japan 3 times. I am planing to make one month trip to Japan to travel as much as possible using JR Rail Pass. from Tokyo to Cape Soya, and then go south to Ibusuki. I don't miss your videos because it is like traveling with you, and the food look delicious.Food and trains is what I love most. Also travel in ferry.
I loved this one. An epic journey! Really cool to see you plan it out as you go, learn how ticketing works, and see so many different areas. Thank you for another great trip! Looking forward to part 2
Greetings from the United States. Wonderful video, thank you. I am truly amazed that Japan has a Shinkansen train that can go over close to 200 mph and run by electricity , and has a extension track system that can be used to commute in a comfortable manner. I applaud how Japan is greener that the United States.
And now it's trains! Dear Solo Travel San your tempting my wallet in so, so , many ways. At least this way, you spend the money and I get the pleasure of watching the scenery !
Another interesting and entertaining video! Bullet trains are a very different experience than the Ferry service. Speed has it's advantages certainly but also it's drawbacks. I always find the beautiful cuisine choices in Japan very visually tempting. Unfortunately I can't smell the aroma though. As long as You enjoy it, we're good! Happy Travels Always!!
My sake shot out my nose when you said: "They are coupled...I'm STILL SINGLE"! Great vid/comments; keep it coming! I worked in one of the buildings at 21:00 back in the day.
In my mind I always felt like Sendai was much closer to Tokyo but it's actually quite far! Very interesting. All these shinkansen looked very comfortable, I once travelled 12 hours on an overnight train and it was a lot worse than this haha. The hamburger steak looked quite rare, it's fairly normal in the West to have rarer meats but I don't think I've personally had a rare hamburger steak. It looked quite nice. パート２が楽しみ！
Thanks for the video I love these longer journey with food and travels. Btw, the cow's face is not confidence, it reads "would you stop eating me", lol Take care, keep up the good work!
What a coincidence that the Ferry was passing by the sea just when your train exited the Tunnel from Hokkaido. As if the vessel she was waiting for you to say "Hello". You have A Destiny with the Ferry! She is your Girlfriend!💞😀👍
What an epic day of train travel. Having a HAMburger steak in HAMamatsu to complete your first day's travel was perfect. Have a good sleep. Can't wait to see Day 2. Cheers.
what a cool video :) i just got done eating just as you are about to eat haha lol :) ty for showing us around :) take care and i'm looking forward to seeing another great video :)
I'm glad you finally did this! I t had commented on a video of yours a while back about a friend of mine who had done it, they ended up saying that you're better off just flying lmao.
That hamburger steak looks delicious! And I think it might be the first time I've seen you use anything but chopsticks in your videos! Love all your videos, but your ferry trips are my favorites!
Interesting trip..!!! Looking forward to see the next part of the video...👏🏻👏🏻 I couldn't help laughing when you said "The trains are coupled and I'm still single..." I am single too, so I really felt bad for those Shinkansen... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for always making excellent videos! The ticket information was great, Japan’s ticket system seems very different to anything I’ve experienced so I was really grateful for the explanation. Do you think you could possibly do a video explaining the rules of the different ticket types, please? Such as what makes a base fare, what the JR pass can be used on, which ones allow you to leave the station, that kind of thing. It would make it so much easier and less stressful when I visit. Maybe other viewers would like that, too?
I was trying to keep track of the costs on this trip... I am at roughly $425 US, which might be including hotel costs as well. I am looking forward to see the total cost because I am curious about it. Thank you for taking this trip!
For some reason, the most surprising part of this video was the pretty fair looking hotel room in the middle of the city for $48. Very affordable, not tacky, and meets the basics!
"They are coupled. I am still single."
I love your sense of humor. 😄
Thank you for another super fun trip!
So am I ,still single.
@@lindaellen808 - Me too. 😆
Someday we'll all find the Komachis to our Hayabusas. 🥲
Thanks for showing the train ticket booths in English, really useful!
Thank you for always showing Google maps before the journey. It's really helpful to those of us unfamiliar with Japan's geography!
I am reasonably familiar with Japan’s geography but it’s a big place and I also find the Google map often adds useful context.
A travel, hotel room, and food tour all in one video! What a fabulous job you’ve done!
More importantly "no talking", which gives each of his audience their own experience of solo traveling. Amazing!
In all your videos I really appreciate how you explain things that are confusing. As a visitor I would assume everyone else knows the system and I am just being foolish. It is nice to be reminded that even people who travel the area regularly can run into confusion.
Anyone else think it's cool how you can stuff multiple train tickets at once into the gate machine?
Yes! How does it know what ticket to keep?? So cool
@@FrozenRose816 Probably a bar code or something, on the backside. I'm guessing 🙂
@@kittehgo Good guess, but no; barcodes would be too easily blocked. The tickets are actually magnetically encoded. If you ever see the backside of those tickets, you’ll find that they’re a dark brown-gray color. It’s like the little stripe on a New York MetroCard or SFBART ticket, just across the entire card.
@@bubbledoubletrouble Ah yes, that makes much more sense than barcode..
I don’t think its magnetic because magnetism can leak out of both cards at the same time even when they are not that close together and cause a bad read. It could be light and barcode driven because it punches a hole in the ticket at the destination to make sure it can’t be used again. It also needs to have the start location and destination info so it knows that you paid enough for the trip. They wouldn’t want someone paying for a 1 hour bullet train trip and riding it for 5 hour trip, it’s inconceivable that all that info would be magnetically encoded into a paper ticket that would be discarded. It’s likely reads a barcode printed on the sides of ticket. The ticket reader takes multiple tickets at once but it goes through the reader one at a time then combined back at the end and pushed out together, but it does super fast. That’s not all.

Then he will have change his YT channel title from "solo" to "couple" 😃
If there's one thing I'm finding out about Japan from this channel... its that good food can be had for less than half the price of what it is in my country.
And unlike at least here in the US, food options in stations and airports are reasonably priced and provide excellent quality.
Food in Japan is mostly very good. It’s rare to get a bad meal and there are lots of surprisingly good and surprisingly cheap options.
This route is basically what I'd dream to do if I have the time in the future when I go to Japan. Thanks for the video, and looking forward for part 2!

10:02 😆😆🤣😓
Really want to take a few days off, and travel trains like Solo san did, such a relaxing journey...
Thank you for the great video. It's great to see all the ways to get around Japan, and to see more than the main tourist areas/interests.
Excellent journey! Will you do some of the branch lines as well, such as the ones leading to the west coast? I bet some of the mountain routes would be beautiful. As always, I love your videos and sharing your adventures.
I have been waiting for another one of your travel videos. I am so excited to see where we are going now!!!!!
Great video! I'm really loving your channel ❤
Very interesting trip, the trains in Japan look great. I loved the cow plate with the hamburger steak, clever.
Never ceases to amaze me just how far reaching and how good the japan train system is
I cherished my round-trip from Shinjiku to Kyoto via Nagoya. Wonderful experience on Shinkansen but I prefer slower trains to enjoy the scenery and avoid walls, more walls and tunnels. Your travel videos are simply awesome. Thank you.
I was worried that the famous bakery would be closed! The rolls looked delicious.
The ticket knowledge is thoroughly useful thanks for that.
