Riding Japan's Shinkansen Bullet Train in FIRST CLASS (300km/h) 🇯🇵
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 янв 2023
- In this video, we ride Japan's Bullet Train Tokaido Shinkansen in First Class (Green Car) from Tokyo Station to Kyoto. We will be travelling on the fastest bullet train on this line, the Nozomi, which reaches a top speed of 300km/h. The journey time between Tokyo Station and Kyoto on the Nozomi Shinkansen is slightly more than 2 hours.
We will take a tour of Tokyo Station, Japan's busiest railway station, before boarding the Green Car of the Nozomi Shinkansen 25 bound for Hakata. After boarding, we will take a detailed tour of the First Class seat and the train amenities.
What a great experience! Please enjoy!

The other button you did not know about is "heated seat".
Thanks for watching, Kasper! And thanks for letting me know 🙏
Gran Class is 1st class. Green class is business class.
Thanks for watching 😊 Gran Class must be superb! Unfortunately, I believe there are no trains with Gran Class on the Tokaido Line.
Shinkansen Green Cars have two sides: one where you can ride with your shoes on, and the other where you can put your feet on with your shoes off (no shoes allowed). The side with the same pattern as the floor is used as shoes. Its footrest can be unfolded. The unfolded surface can be used with shoes off.
The Tokaido Shinkansen is the oldest Shinkansen route that was conceived from the days of steam locomotives, and was premised on a speed of 200km/h. So even now that the cars have been improved, the maximum speed is about 280km, which is a little slower than other Shinkansen lines, but the curves are more fun than other lines. From Japan.
見てくれてありがとう！Appreciate your thoughtful comment and all the detail you provided on the Shinkansen. Can’t wait to ride it again 😊
love it. pretty thorough and detailed. and thanks for the seat tips! much appreciated.
Thanks a lot for watching, Tannya! I hope you can enjoy a wonderful view of Mt Fuji 😊 🗻
wow!
its a nice video.
Enjoy in Japan!
Thanks for watching, James! Glad you liked the video. More videos of Japan coming soon 😊
It is a verynice guide that combines luxury and quietness! 👍
Thanks for watching! 😃🚄

That lower button is for the seat heater! The warm back makes you sleep soon in winter😊
Thanks a lot for watching and your contribution! Who doesn’t love a heated in the cold Japanese winter? :)
nice
Thanks for watching, Sam! 😊
If planes were as safe as the Shinkansen, many many families would have stayed away of suffering. Shinkansen is badass in saftey records 😎
Thanks a lot for watching! The Shinkansen is a magnificent piece of engineering, isn't it? 😊
🇧🇩🇧🇩 💖💖 🇯🇵🇯🇵
I wouldn't consider the Green Car as first class anymore on the Shinkansen.
It's not a part of all the Shinkansen trains, but I'd consider the trains that have the Gran Class car to be more of an equivalent of what many would consider to be a "First Class" seat.
Nice video by the way. 👍
Thanks a lot for watching! Appreciate the feedback😊 Hope I can soon try Gran Class out for a proper First experience!
Yeah Green is more like business class: more space, guaranteed power outlet, easier to work on your laptop or sleep.
Now Gran Class…😍
Great video. Love Shinkansen. The upgrade seems reasonable in USD nowadays. Isn’t Shinjuku the busiest station? Thanks
Thanks a lot for watching, Radoslav! Great to know that you enjoyed the video 😊 You are right - Shinjuku is the busiest station in terms of passenger throughput but I think Tokyo Station is the busiest in terms of train arrivals and departures. I should have specified that! :)
JAPAN is TOP!
Indeed! 🇯🇵
They do everything right in Japan. That’s why I own a Honda Accord
Thanks a lot for watching! Agreed - the attention to detail is superb 😊

Thanks for watching Ken! Thanks for the tip too :)
9:26 - that's because they knew you were up to something. 😉
Thanks for watching! Hahaha I swear I behaved myself to Japanese standards :)
I was hesitating between buying a standard JR Pass or a Green Pass, as the ~80$ difference is not that big, knowing that I'm travelling alone, but even for a 2-3 hours ride I'll always prefer extra leg room and I LOVE QUIET, your video convinced me to take the Green Pass, so thank you very much :) If I may ask, if the seat D allows you to maybe see mount Fuji, does it mean from Kyoto to Tokyo, you'll have to take an A seat ? And at wich point of the ride can you maybe see it ? I know it's not guaranteed, but I'll take all my chances, since I'm not even sure I'll be lucky in my trip to Kawaguchi ^^'
Thanks a lot for watching! Glad the video helped you 😊 I’m sure you will enjoy the quietness of the Green Car!
EDIT: Please choose seats E or D regardless of direction as train does not turn around - it just reverses direction. I had views of Mount Fuji 40 mins after we departed Tokyo Station (Nozomi train). Assuming you are booked on a Nozomi train, you should be able to see it around 40 mins before you get to Tokyo. Please do keep an eye on Google Maps as it’s a good indicator 😊
Hope you can enjoy a wonderful view! Please let me know how it goes.
Always choose Seat E(Ordinary Car) or D(Green Car) regardless of the direction if you want to see Mt.Fuji.
@@bart5568 Thanks a lot, thought the train turned around but it does not! Just edited my reply 😃
Hehe, busiest in trains but not passengers, business not 1st, E not F, the last seat has dibs on the space behind it for luggage so is the better choice (when available).
Welcome to Japan. It takes a long time to get all the details right. ;)
Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment, Pumpkin! You’re absolutely right, that’s a great summary ;)
Can’t wait to visit again!
Not to be a nit-picker, but the Green Car=business class , Gran-Class would be more like first class but there is not Gran-Class on the Tokaido Shinkansen.
Thanks for your comment, Brent! A Japanese friend told me that they are planning on rolling out Gran Class to more lines in the future - hopefully will be available on the Tokaido Line soon 😊
I want to do one of those trips so bad, every time I watch one of these trains on video it gives me goosebumps!
To me this is the epitome of perfection!
🙂👍🏼🙂
Thanks for watching, Augusto! You should definitely go for it when you get a chance - great experience 😊

ありがとう! Most delicious bento box! 😍🇯🇵
Which camera do you use? Thanks ;)
Hey Dave! Thanks a lot for watching! I use my iPhone 14 Pro :)
@@comfytravels Thanks ;)
I dont understand why Shinkansen BT glass window is small. A very large glass window would give good panoramic view and good artistic look.
Is it concern with vibration when passing trough tunnel could crack the glass?
Hey Ukit, thanks for watching! That’s a great question - I personally didn’t find them too small. Great thing is that they were sparkling clean, so you can take great and clear photos from your seat :)
I have taken the "Nozomi" several times before. It's a really good and quick Shinkansen train, though the only downside is that you can't take this train with a JR Pass.
Thanks for watching, Barry! Agreed, pity you can’t use it with the JR Pass :)
Good for you there aren’t any assassins onboard.
Thanks for watching, Seth! Indeed 😂
How much is cost to take a train to Osaka?
Thanks for watching, Khanh! Fares from Tokyo to Osaka start at ¥13,870 (about $105) for a one-way in Economy (Standard Class)😊
The other light is for sit warmer
Hey Fanny! That’s it -thanks a lot for letting me know and watching the video! 😊🚂
ファーストクラスはグランクラスですよ。グリーン車の上のクラスがあります。
Thanks for watching! Look forward to trying Gran Class 😊🚄

Tokyo station is not even close to the busiest station in Japan, Shinjuku station which has 3+ million passangers a day.
Thanks for watching, Hoishin! You are right - in terms of passenger throughput it is not but I found an article from The Japan Times that said that it was in terms of train arrivals and departures. Is that more accurate? 😊
I see! You mentioned passengers number in the same sentence so that led me to misunderstand the context. Thank you for the clarification
@@hoishin Thank you for the feedback! I wasn't very clear - something to improve for my next videos :)
hmm... Seems like a green car seat is not worth it for a 3 hr journey. The Oshibori, blanket, extra tray, reading light and a little bit comfy seat are the only things you get in the Green car.
Thanks for watching! Agreed - I liked how quiet the green cars are though. A good option if you are travelling solo and want your own space I think 😊
The thing is, the Rail Pass Green Car upgrade is not all that much.
I think it's not worth your money. They offer just softer seats blanket but no food. Not worth my money.
Thanks for watching, Roxy! Yeah, I think the drinks should be complimentary at least. I guess the best thing is the extra space you get and the quietness of the Green Car, especially if you’re travelling solo 😊
I see the masking comedy is strong there
Thanks for watching, Michael! Different people have different preferences I guess - not a bad thing 😊
Kinda worth the money but kinda not.
Thanks for watching! Yes, I know what you mean. To me the extra privacy and space are a big plus though! What you do you think? :)
Majorly everything is of plastic inside this train,,,,
Thanks for watching, Jimmy! It’s good quality plastic though haha 😊 Gran Class does have leather seats and more luxurious details
All the best carbon fiber is made in Japan. 👍
Light train go fast and efficiently. 🚅
I hate to see them still living with masks like that.
Thanks for watching! Japan has always been rather conservative when it comes to disease prevention - not necessarily bad thing! 😊
Hay season coming up!
I think that the ties of the mouth do not decrease until May.
花粉症の季節がやってくる
口のネクタイは5月迄は減らないと思う。
Trying to protect themselves and others from diseases is a bad thing now? 🤔
