      I was so close to visiting South Korea and Japan at one point. I'm a Motion Capture performer and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to work in Japan and visit South Korea.

      Gorgeous train, and you made me really hungry with those food close-ups!
      Also, a very belated addition of locations (though you named several of them yourself this time):
      00:00 Hakata
      08:21 0.7 km past Yayoigaoka
      08:29 0.9 km past Yayoigaoka (passing under the E34 highway)
      09:50 1.7 past Hizen-Asahi
      09:59 0.8 km before Kurume (crossing the Chikugo River)
      11:18 0.7 km before Kurumekoko-Mae
      12:31 1.7 km past Mii
      12:43 Tanushimaru
      16:53 0.2 km past Sukigawachi (that famous waterfall: Jionnotaki)
      17:59 1.1 km after Teruoka (out of sequence!)
      19:31 0.5 km past Sukigawachi
      19:40 Bungo-Mori
      20:26 Yufuin

    The kumiko doors, shades, and tissue boxes were my favorite decoration of the entire train, and I thought the entire train was gorgeous. How I envy the people of Japan for their beautiful, CLEAN trains and train stations! The food looked absolutely delicious. I saw that you dressed up for the occasion; very wise! I loved seeing the cherry blossoms along the route.

Guiding tours in words rather than talking is a real treasure because hate those talk too much, which cause huge distraction and serious headache on me. I also love the sense of humour in your words.

    • @duncanmcewan1049
      @duncanmcewan1049 Год назад +1

      The US has a huge rail network, but when I see what other countries have, Amtrak needs to up their game. Trains in the UK are pretty crap, so I can't say much - but if the US had better rail travel options (more luxury for example), I would happily visit the US and do a rail journey cross country... but even a "bedroom" on AmTrak doesn't seem that great. When you see some of the Sleeper trains in Japan (and mainland Europe), there is definitely improvements to be made to pull people from planes to trains :)

      @@wesleyswafford2462 Yeah - said isnt it. I lived in Singapore for a few years - people joke that Singapore is a "fine" city cos they fine you for everything (how I laughed...) Yes, you get fined for eating or drinking on the MRT (underground rail). However, unlike the tube in London, I have never had to deal with people drinking beer and throwing up on a Thursday night, nor trying to avoid standing in a discarded half eaten kebab with sauce on the floor. Yes, Singapore has some very harsh penalties for things (including very serious crimes), but it is clean and incredibly safe. I always said, it is a lovely place if you dont break the law. Japan was quite similar - clean and has incredibly polite people. There is a huge language barrier in Japan, as many people don't speak English (not a barrier for them - only us tourists :) ), but still, I managed to get by because everyone is so polite, thoughtful and patient. I would live in Singapore again for sure and would love to visit Japan again - but prob wouldnt live there because of the language barrier and cost - its very expensive.

    Hello, I'm from Germany and I've been seeing you on the channel for a while. I'm a big fan of Cab Video from Japanese Trains. A few weeks ago you travelled to Europe and also to Germany. I only know the railways in Japan from RUclips, but I was really ashamed of the unpunctuality, the lousy service and the lousy sanitary facilities you had to experience here in Germany. I am also very enthusiastic about the Kumiko woodwork. On YT I have already seen how Kumiko is made. It's impressive. Furthermore, thank you for your great videos from a country that I would like to travel to in real life, but unfortunately can't.

I have never been in Japan but for me it is very Japanese interior design, but the food, with risotto and saffron is almost Italian, and the background music is old European classical music. Where I come from trains is only getting from A to B, even you can buy business class. But you know that
