Inside Japan's Most Expensive Bullet Train | $750 Seat
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2024
- Japan's Bullet Trains (Shinkansen) are a joy to travel on. Stylish, luxurious and futuristic, we ride inside the premium-first class cabin for the first time and experience railway travel on another level.
A huge thanks to JR EAST for inviting us to ride inside the Gran Class cabin.

*IMPORTANT* Hey guys, setting my usual sarcasm aside for once I hope you’re all safe right now. Like a lot of the documentary style videos on this channel, this video was filmed many weeks before its release. We shot this long before the Tokyo lockdown; as I mentioned in last week’s video, for several weeks now I’ve been self isolating in my apartment with a stash of cup noodles, where I’ll be staying for the rest of April (and likely beyond at this point). I considered postponing this video given it’s set outdoors, but I figured anything that provides an escape from the ongoing situation can only be a good thing (especially given how hilarious Ryotaro was in this episode with his love of “different air”). As always, many thanks for watching guys and stay safe. I’ll be back later this week with another video and hit the like button if you enjoyed the show!
Abroad in Japan ok
Ok
Ok
Thank you too!
Abroad in Japan you stay safe too Chris!! Thanks for the welcome distraction and great entertainment ✨
Ryotoro's "acting sad skills" are legendary.
Second to none.
@@AbroadinJapan yes
Top notch m8. Legend!
Acting?! Dude....he lost his different air.... AND a snakey rope light. By rights he should be drowning in a lake of salty tears.
He seriously needs to make films I am not kidding for min
"freelance peasant" should be your new business card tagline chris
It's the title I deserve.
@@AbroadinJapan its an interesting title.
Agreed, what an excellent burn! hahah
I genuinely laughed out loud when he said that. So brutal. So true.
I loved the look of acceptance on Chris' face too, he was trying to think of a comeback and then his face said "yeah alright".
It took them 15 seconds to make a bowl of noodles Holy 😳
That is sure awsome
And it actually seemed to have a very high quality also😯
Or less
😳
Another impressive thing is the salarymen that come in there for a quick bowl between meetings or on their way to work. They basically inhale that bowl just as quick as they make them..
I'm a Japanese and I went to Spain and found that they have a great bullet express train there as fast and smooth as Shinkansen.
Then I found out the logos "Hitachi" are written on the body of the Spanish bullet train. So, it was made in Japan
U can't beat japanese inventions ever😂
lmaooo I am from India and we recently imported bullet trains from Japan too !!
@@nobitanobi3475 that is great
We have Hitachi-built long-distance trains in Britain too, but they've been fitted with woefully uncomfortable seats that feel like they're upholstered in office carpet =/
@@SmallBlogV8
Anyway, British invented steam engine, railway and train.
Japan and other countries imported railway, train and steam engine from Britain.
They all started in Britain.
I like the thought of Ryotaro holding onto an unopened pack of umeboshi for the next several months, waiting for a fan to approach him so he can offer them one.
Wont they die eating it
On that note, i'm actually super curious about what Ryotaro does. I feel like he's secretly a super wealthy IT professional or runs a production company, or owns several love hotels... or all of the former.
**insert jav jokes here**
@@leeminhoe74 Hahaha
@@UltimatePwnageNL In an Abroad in Japan podcast episode or on a different video, Chris said that Ryotaro is a consultant, mainly concerning with Tourism.
Gosh imagine paying $750 to sit in luxurious silence and then have these two guys going on about the seats and the snake light haha
I was wondering if anyone else was going to mention this!I hope they told the other people on the train that they were going to be filming. I noticed that at least one of the other people at the back of the train had their face blurred out, as Japanese people are usually very touchy about being filmed without permission. Not to mention how taboo it is to disturb others around you, especially on a train. I would really like to hear what Chris has to say about this experience
@@AureliusR Since they got permission from the train line, the train operators probably let the other passengers know before boarding would be my guess
Most likely they actually blocked out the carriage for the filthy vlogger peasants and that bloke with the blurred face is a JR rep.
Everyone else in the cabin got a voucher for a free ride after these peasant youtube mingers arrived lol
@@jd_99 Or it was a 'press junket' for publicity purposes which is actually quite common for PR to arrange.

@@blackberi ik this might sound bad but don’t envy rich people they often work much harder than you
I’m Japanese, but I’ve never got on this train.
I’m a high school student and have been learning English for 3 years. I always watch your videos and improve my listening skills. Thanks for reading!
It’s common. People who live close to something often don’t go to see or use that thing. I still have never been to Alcatraz Island. And I only went to the Golden Gate Bridge to bring tourist friends. 😂
That's superb English
P Y Your English is amazing! I am so impressed.
I learn English due to my hobbies
Your English is almost perfect, keep it up!
Ryotaro looked like he was saying goodbye to a loved one when he got off the train 😆
That last scene where sadness quickly turned to horror was genuine as well. We very nearly missed our return train. I've never run so fast in all my life.
That's exactly what I look like when leaving Japan.
@Razorback73 hey the mans fit as a fiddle now, after crashing and torturing himself through a cycling event that really didnt showcase the cycling aspect more so than just funny challenges.
imo, it looked more like one of those japanese TV apologies XD
@@AbroadinJapan How is running fast with camera equipment?
Ah yes, the "Gran Class". My gran loves this. Finally, a train seat-class specifically designed for people like her.
Her delusion of GRANdeur 😆
2:24 When a mommy bullet train and a daddy bullet train love each other very much...
New item on Japan bucket list: Ride Shinkansen back and forth between Tokyo and Sendai until run into Ryotaro and get free salted plum snack thingies.
dude they're so good
And with the JR pass you wont even waste a lot of money. Worth it!
Those plum snack things are called Hoshi-Ume which just means dried pickled plum, they’re slightly sweetened with honey and they’re actually really good!
Salted plum are good actually. Many asian like it
Having ridden one: Worth it. Absolutely worth it. Airplanes seem just piss poor in comparison.
“When is Ryotaro the Movie coming out?”
This is Ryotaro the Movie.
That would be awesome!!
This episode is literally the Ryotaro show.
It's actually an animated feature called My Neighbour Ryotaro by Studio Ghibli
Nikolai Antonov бг?
Abroad in Japan and it’s giving James May a run for his money.
I would watch Ryotaro if he had his own channel, he is just such a delight to watch. Puts a smile on my face everytime
He does! Ryotaro's Japan - ruclips.net/user/RyotarosJapan
:OO omg perfect, thank you
Chris: "...It's like the girl approaches the guy, right?"
Ryotaro: "It's always like that."
Chris: [visible confusion] 2:39
So much to unpack there (when it comes to Japan and dating XD).
My friend taught English in Japan maybe 15 years ago. He said something similar that the Girls are more foward over their? I guess it all depends though?
Ryotaro: "It looks like a Gundam."
Chris: "It looks like a mating ritual."
Observations from two people from two different cultures. First thing that comes to mind of the Japanese, technology. First thing that comes to mind of the westerner, sex.

@@zam023 I get it！That's interesting
@@zam023 but Japan is one of The most sex obsessed countries in the world :D and i love it

Ryotaro is the most western Japanese man I've ever seen.
He spent a lot of time living in London I think. Memory might be failing.
F to same
@@Devilsmygrandpap London and Germany

@Tiger Ham what?
The JR pass is indeed LEGIT the best thing ever, so worth it for seeing as much of Japan as you could want.

IT LITERALLY SOUNDS SO GOOD
Fun fact: there is actually an anime where those trains transform to a mech called shinkalion. 👍

That sounds like shit
It's real. I searched it.

Hi there! Great you mentioned the JR Rail Pass. When we have been to Japan in 2006 we also got it, and it is a bliss for every tourist. Just as you said: not only is it cheap, but it also provides so much flexibility. And I totally agree: if you are in Japan, you have to ride the Shinkansen!
Cheers to all!

Please tell me we’re going to get “How luxury is that?” on a shirt

I'd volunteer to help them program one if they chose to just because ryoutaro is my favourite guy haha
Honestly though i feel like Ryotaro's english is getting better and better (while it was already very good). In another five years people will think they have the same father, who had a little too much fun on a business trip one time :P
Watched a bunch of your videos. I think what strikes me the most is that you had the wherewithall and courage to nut up and completely relocate to another part of the world. Need more people like that. The world was put here to be engaged with. Cheers bro 🍻
Risottoro's face always brings a smile to my face. And a feeling of unease.
Hope you haven't run out of your stash of cup noodles.
I've got enough to see me through a thousand summers.
@@AbroadinJapan Do add fruit and veggies, Chris. It's possible (rare but not impossible) to get scurvy from a diet consisting of nothing but instant noodles. Happened to a uni student I know of....just sayin'.

This was the most recent video that had been uploaded when I discovered this channel, hard to believe that was only a year ago. It feels like I've seen every video on both channels multiple times in that time and it's amazing how quickly Abroad in Japan became one of my favourite things to watch, I'm so grateful for the humor and escapism that only this channel can provide :)
That cut to the old-school bullet train at 0:30 was slick!
i have to take my hat off to chris: when you get invited by large japanese companies to come and try out their product, you know you've made it big. same for that video on that musician. congrats man. you really deserve the success you're having on your youtube channel.
"Girls always approach guys isn't that always the way?"
"I'd ride Granclass on my second honeymoon"

It is true though women choose the men, not the other way around.
Whaaaat? Your account is almost as old as I am haha
@@niismo. ah yes, back when the Internet was in black and white
13th Gaming Clan it is, but it isn’t for many guys. If you know what I’m saying.
I lived in Japan for 2 years, and my (now ex) wife and i traveled on the shinkansen a few times. She did it more often as she traveled for work. We didn't get to try Granclass, but we did travel in the Green cars on both our main trips. Really enjoyed being on them. =)
As an American, I am extremely jealous of this. I wish we here in the states would implement high speed rail. *sigh*
You got screwed by the auto lobbyists mate. In Australia we got screwed by backward thing useless muppet tight arse politicians.
now we know when chris will use granclass - when he wants to impress ryotaro on their second honeymoon
I was actually looking for this comment, thx!!! ;)

Hi Chris, I’m a native Japanese translator. I’ve been binge watching all your videos during the quarantine period, and I’ve noticed that there are some comments from Japanese viewers requesting Japanese subtitles for your videos.
As a Japanese, it’s interesting to see Japan from a foreigner’s point of view and I also think that Natsuki’s outgoing personality serves as a good role model for other Japanese people who aspire to acquire English but are too shy or unconfident to speak it.
Anyway, I’d love to help out with the subs if you’re interested in broadening your target to Japanese people.
頑張ってください！これからも応援しています(^^)
I think you can add subtitles on a PC for any language even without his permission
Surprised to see Japanese guy speaking such good English! Any way , no problem communicating in Japan today . Being a Chinese , I like to see this in the future China !
@razael deathbringer
Every language is hard to learn.
@razael deathbringer But English is even harder to foreigners, though
@@a76101 some languages more than others.
English is pretty simple once you throw logic out the window and adopt the "it is that way because [insert] said so" mentality.
My native language (Dutch) is easy to learn thanks to our relative low amount of exceptions to the rules, but hard to master because of our hard G's and rolling R's.
I can't fathom learning Chinese or advanced Japanese in a spoken manner, let alone writing.
TL;DR: Every language has it's ups and downs. Don't be afraid to try and learn.
Man, i love everything about Japan
Amazing country, people and scenery.
Brilliant.. Definitely will watch it a few times before my travel to Japan.

Ryotaro was so happy, he completely forgot that he's the villain of this story! Thank you for this beautiful video, guys! ❤️
This is the most informational channel I've watched about Japan train very helpful especially if you're a tourist 👏👏
Rather than taking premium seat on the Shinkansen, I recommend staying at a better hotel at your destination or spending more luxurious dinner.
The Shinkansen is comfortable even in economy class, and the ride time is VERY short anyway.
This. I took the economy class Shinkansen on my first trip - just to say I'd taken it - it's already very comfortable, and yeah, for a journey that doesn't even take two hours, you really don't need the luxury. The price of the first class tickets is enough to upgrade you from two days in a cheapass business hotel room to a moderately fancy ryokan with hot springs, sashimi and wagyu beef for dinner, and all that good stuff. Between two nights' worth of luxury and two hours, I know what I'd pick.
@@notatallheng fair point, but don’t diss the green car seats, I have ridden both Green car and economy, Green car was quite the upgrade and didn’t even cost more as it was a hayatoku green ticket (it was either that or paying for a conventional reservation that costed more...)
That got me from Odawara (I live in western Kanagawa) to Shin-Osaka in style for not that much money, with plenty of space for my dog in a carrier.
The most unexplainable thing is: how the hell one eats noodles wearing a white turtleneck!??? We have a confirmation that Riotaro is a wizard.
Besyatka Chris: orders sake.
Ryotaro: Coke Zero.
What a flex.
Wizard means something else in Japan lol
It's not Ryotaro,neither is Riotaro
It's *Risottoro*
@@gabri_maybe *Risotto Nero*
haha... most of Japanese people can do that.
We study how to eat noodles from young ages but for Curry Udon, I pretty care about the spitting of the brown soup to my white T-shirt or tie as a business man.
if I speak seriously, when you eat that kind of noodles your mouth should be near to the bowl and guide smoothly with your chopsticks not to dance the noodles between the bowl and mouth. that's how we do that.
Ryotaro is like that one friend who always down to do anything and has everything planned beforehand
A rare type, but the best!
10:13 I love how Ryotaro just has the perfect answer ready.

One thing everyone should know about the Welcome Suica is that (unlike with normal Suica) you cannot refund the remaining charge in it. So be sure to spend all of the charge in it, as you cannot use the card on your next Japan trip due to the card being valid only for 28 days.
So wouldn't it be better to just get the regular suica card?
@@summort5443 According to the website Welcome Suica allow you to purchase discount tickets.
@@summort5443 That's what I would do... but then again it's easy to spend the remaining credit at the airport for souvenirs since the shops accept IC cards as well.
Last time I missed buying the welcome suica, because the ticket office at the airport was already closed at the time of my departure.
I'm collecting all the IC cards from across Japan.
Only 2 from Fukuoka left (forgot to buy them, even I went there three times xD)
Matthias Bouillon according to the website, you can get the Welcome Suica from ticket machines.

I rode a bullet train over a decade ago on a trip to Japan when I was 16. Growing up in New York I was used to noisy dirty slow trains. The bullet train was amazing.
Beautiful video and fun filled! ! Lov the descriptions and talk between the two...would love to take this dream journey....I love Japan

What a country.

F1 cars aren't special when they go fast, they are special when they turn.
Martin Brundle used to enjoy riding on the Shinkansen when he was an active F1 driver!
Loved watching The Sorrows of Ryotero Departing the GranClass carriage- the melancholy piano music suitably captured his utter dejection
Ryotoro reminds me of my father! I absolutely love videos with him in it. I hope to be able to join the JET program within the next two years as soon as i finish my degree. I want to meet him.
10:49 What happened to our sarcastic Brit and his assasssin?! And that damned smile, I don't think I've ever seen Chris be so lovely
When you're riding in Gran Class, you set your differences aside.
- At least, until you get thrown back out of the carriage and into reality once more.
@@AbroadinJapan hey chris can you recommend me 5 anime please
Risottaro’s new quote: “How Luxury is that” also a great title

As a tourist who've visited Japan in 2019, I can't recommend the JR Pass enough.
Be warned however, if you buy it in advance, YOU MUST BRING THE ORIGINAL VOUCHER WITH YOU.
There will be no reprints and no acceptance of copies or digital versions. You've lost or forgotten it? Tough love sunshine, buy another one.
So, talking from experience: while you may save a bit by buying it in advance, my advice would be to buy it in-situ at a train station. It may save you a massive headache.
I HEAVILY second this
You can not buy the JR Pass in Japan. You have to order it in your home country, and bring it with you.
@x3iiSTee You absolutely can. I've done it last August at the Tokyo Station JR booth. You would know if you had spent 5 seconds to look it up: www.jrailpass.com/faq/buy-jr-pass-in-japan
@@alban4220 that changed some time back. you can buy it in-country now.
Hmm, actually, the JR pass is like a cheat code mainly for those who take the Shinkansen.. It's not that worthwhile if you only hang around within a city like Tokyo or Osaka. The JR pass is (obviously) only for JR trains (but not the faster Shinkansen trains), and not all JR buses and ferries. It is not valid for most private trains and subways that are found in the major metropolitan areas. Sticking JR only within Tokyo can make intra-city travelling rather painful.
Looks nice, not sure anything qualifies as 'complimentary' when you have spanked $700+ on a ticket tho lol
Exactly!
“Free” meal
That's part of the price lol free meal
I loved the little giggle from the girls behind you both as Ryotaro cried out in horror at the sight of the return train

I was so amazed at how smooth the bullet trains were. It was so cool. We were also taken away with how on time all the trains are. We thought we had missed our train once cause we are so used to having very approximate times for trains or none at all.
Is this the train where Pete Donaldson comes over the loudspeaker and angrily shouts the names of the destinations in heavily exaggerated Japanese?
god i need some of that.
Well, this is the luxury train. So ypu get the "sensual DJ" version.

I'm not shitting on him, I just found his childlike joy adorable.
Man, I truly love your channel, it’s so well done! Cheers and thanks for the wonderful content.
Now you say that, Last time i visited Japan, years ago a guy that looked a lot like Ryotaro asked us how we were enjoying our trip and where we we staying as in area, I thought he looked familiar!
Awesome guy!
I love Ryotaro & Chris going on adventures together. Also, it seemed to me that Ryotaro managed to charm some ladies on the train. They probably thought that he's a celebrity (and technically they're not wrong)!
5:23 i thought it will be a boring 45 minute wait at Mihara station, until a bullet train just woosh and all my senses are awake. I never thought that something as mundane as train passing could be so fun in japan.
Ryotaro talking about Suica is the best sales pitch I've ever heard in my life 😂❤
I love your review and sold on riding the bullet train. Thank u.
I love how when Ryotaro reacts to the arrival of the return train, the woman behind them just cracks up.
I've been to Japan over a dozen times as my grandmother lives in Sendai. This past October I went back to Japan and made the journey from Sendai to Tokyo and back a few times. No matter how many times I ride the Shinkansen, I can never get over how fast and smooth it is. You never feel yourself accelerating, no bumps, just gentle swaying when going around bends. You just look out the window and next thing you know, you're gracefully traveling at 200mph. It's truly a technological marvel. Thanks for the vid and honestly while I was visiting, I was hoping to run into to you.
Gotta appreciate that slick cut to the old-timey footage at 0:28
Wow. Congratulations on being able to make this beautiful video! Do beautiful and exciting to watch. Please keep this kind of videos coming
Chris, I can't thank you enough for posting this video.
I've been getting depressed in isolation and this video brought me right out!
Hope you are doing ok as well.
Hey man, stay strong. Reach out if you need help - soon this will pass
Here's an actual break-down of the seat price for a 90-minute trip from Tokyo Station to Sendai (Miyagi Station) since Chris never mentions the actual cost of the Gran Class seat for this shorter journey. A regular, reserved seat is the 11,000yen he mentioned. A Green Class seat from the same trip is 15,000yen (about $138) and a Gran Class ticket for the same, one-way trip is 20,000yen (about $184). So almost double the fee of a regular ticket to ride Gran Class. Not really worth it for a short, 90-minute journey, unless you're a big person and need that extra width in the seat. Be aware that both Green Class and Gran Class seats have arms that don't move, so at least in the regular seats you can push the armrest up and have a little extra room if no one is sitting next to you.
Thank you for the details
Great info thankyou, hilarious that it needed to be put up in the comments section, as opposed to I dunno someone actually including it in the friggen video.
So, how do the seat sizes translate in typical fatass American?
Dwight Mansburden 2 seats is the size of an average American. Sometimes 3 for the above average.
@@kelvinprivet5202 who pissed in your cereal?
Loved this! You two are have great banter.
It was unbelievable how smooth that Shinkansen ride was. Smooth acceleration, Smooth braking and blazing speeds. I was traveling to Osaka from Tokyo.
