I must add, its a real treat for humankind to see so much pride in their work and the welcome you get and the goodbye when you leave...take note people this is real respect for complete strangers..
That’s some expensive respect.
@nuthinmuffins5073 they treat you the same if your in standard . A very respectfull nation..
Those "locals" are being paid...
@TerminalM193 everyone gets paid but, it's great to see for tourism. Though its instilled from before school age..
and yes this all comes with he money paid
This is a unique product of Japan . It is a proud to mankind . I thank the designer and the engineers who built it .
This takes my breath away....I think I am drawn to the Japanese way of life because of the meticulous attention to detail. Respect for craft. The neatness, the quiet...the seamless blending of past and, present.....
Too bad they live in the past they way they treats woman over there keep that in mind
@@christianengest7283not all places treat women badly. It just depends on where you are
Wow! That train is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing 😊
Japan appears to be such a civilised and polite country, I hope to visit one day.
Superb. The Japanese are so artistic. Their designs are simple, yet elegant. Anyone who can afford to take this spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime train excursion is fortunate, indeed. Thank you for taking us along with you on this beautiful adventure.

Indeed, the Japanese landscape is beautiful.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen the interior of a train so beautiful and welcoming, love the warm tones ❤

What beautiful train. Live confidently and peacefully
What a BEAUTIFUL Train. Amazing attention to detail. Outstanding levels of luxury and service. I wish we had such things in my country 🥂
What an experience indeed ! When I first saw the one hour plus time it will take, I wasn't sure but stayed throughout. I've always wondered about Shiki-Shima and now seen it today. Your tour was complete and amazing. A Big Thank You 👍👍
This train is absolutely beautiful ! We don’t have anything like this in America. I wish we did as I would love to travel in it just 1 time. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and video ! Well done !
More money than sense
you don't have train because you don't live in the city but in paper made suburban fractal

I am from the Philippines, thank you for sharing your experience. I felt that we are together enjoying the ride...🤗
超喜歡日式風格的簡單,高雅和乾淨👍
頑張って生きてきた自分へのご褒美! 妻と一緒に乗車します。
The best part of these videos is missing. What's that you ask? All the men and women that crafted this fine machine. It would be amazing if someone in Japan would go around making videos of how all this great craftsmanship came to being.
Японцы браво👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Вы довели это до совершенства 👍👍👍👍👍
The Train Suite Shikishima had to be my favorite Japanese train. I'm from the United States, but I find Japanese trains to be superior in every way.
From what I’ve seen online, they do seem to be very classy and elegant - even U.K. first class, the Eurostar, the Orient Express is not even as classy and sophisticated as this
US trains are an embarrassment as are the airports. Too much money is spent on silly stuff rather than improving our dilapidated infrastructure.
Everything is treated with such care. The details are Devine. The staff brings me pure joy☺️
Hi. Hala are you. My Name İs Orhan from Türkiye.

The train 5 stars 🤩😍🤩
7 stars !
Really nice and innovative design - gives me slight "snowpiercer" vibes with all that spacious interiour for so few people.
Yes only there's no proper tramps at the back eating cockroaches.
20:08 that red train car gave me that Shining vibes as you see in the bathroom. Bright red setting.
Love this video ❤ Your videography was excellent. Thank you for taking me along.
Im.ALWAYS very impressed with Japanese and how they take pride in theur work. Welcoming people is wonderful. As an American im embarrassed how we look in comparison with our railway system. Its old and we need new trains. The food is mid. Of course to add insult to injury-the prices are ridiculous. I love the train here. Everything looks great😊
Thanks for another great adventure! As usual you produced a enjoyable video.
Thank you for sharing this trip. I enjoyed it very much.
Awesome vlog. Such a brilliant video of a luxurious train and seem like you're having a great adventure. ❤
Aight, about 7 mins into the video and this is going onto my bucket list. Nice video btw
Wow!! That is one luxurious train!! Thanks for sharing with us!! 😊✌
;*;*;*;;*;//.
OMG! This train is the bomb! Makes me want to ride on it and enjoy the experience.
Super train! Bravo!
👍
The Pride of Japan!! Brilliant!!
The beauty of our temporary civilization on - in this world costs a lot of $ $ $ $ $ $ $. I do not know if these - those who can participate in it are the most happy people of us but I love to see things which are created of extremely skilled people.!!👍👍👍👍 Thx for posting this video!!! 🧐
wow absolutely awesome... I was amazed by many things, the beauty of its natural panorama, you know every time I saw a river, it was CLEAN!!!... crazy.. the Japanese people are very good at maintaining harmony, the service is luxurious, the food on display is very beautiful, ahh still linger in my head that the cleanliness of the city, the cleanliness of the river and the facilities available... amazing.. I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the city and the river. I had never seen a river so clean in my life. The water was crystal clear, and there was no trash or debris in sight. I was also impressed by the people's sense of civic duty. They were always quick to pick up trash and keep their surroundings clean. The harmony of the city was also impressive. Everything seemed to be in its place, and there was a sense of order and cleanliness. The people were also very polite and respectful. I felt very welcome in Japan. The service was also excellent. The people were always friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure that I had a good experience. The food was also delicious. The presentation was beautiful, and the taste was amazing. Overall, I had a wonderful experience in Japan. I was impressed by the cleanliness, harmony, service, and food. I would definitely recommend visiting Japan to anyone who is looking for a clean, beautiful, and welcoming place to visit. 10000000% awesome!!! but...There is a drawback. I don't see it in Indonesian or English, so I don't know what many of them mean..
有機會想體驗看看!! 感謝影片分享!
😊😊;*;*;*;;*;;*;*;;//..

Çok enteresan bir yolculuk.. İzlerken çok keyif aldım.. Çok teşekkürler.... 🤗🐞🇹🇷
Amazing review
Thhans you ❤❤❤
País de primeiro mundo onde morei 8 anos...saudades do Japão 😊
I will place this type of Luxury Train Ride in my Bucket List. Beautifully Perfect. Maintain or Improve the Standard.
I love this, and looking like a wow!!!. In my life, given a chance I will definitely come to Japan and will experience this train..
I love the luxury in the car, it's like a hotel. Maybe one day I will be able to afford this ride for now I'll keep on dreaming. From South Africa.
wonderful train comfort and luxury together
I saw this train parked at a station in Tokyo (Hamamatsu-eki, maybe? Not Ueno - the station wasn't one of its route stops). Really cool to see even at a glance while we passed by it.
The train is just beutifule and interesting. Such a work of art. Thanks alot for sharing this experience with the people of KZhead. I am curious about why they use such huge plates for small portions though. I'm sure it be about aesthetics. But some of them have such a size difference it be a bit distracting. When the conductor bows on your departure, do you bow back? I don't know the customs, but I would have a strong urge to bow back as a thank you.
and my bucket list just grew, - again
So, you will live that much longer 😊
Интересно и перевод классный :-)
Кроме ступора перевода, когда вагон обзывают автомобилем или купе не пойми чем! ЖД не дался переводчику-автомату. А так да! Весьма не плох!
Increíble!!!!!😊
I need to travel to work every day by train. I'd like to commute in a train like this. I want to _live_ on this train 🤪
An enjoyable journey and a excellent production, thats what a call a train carriage
Super!!! Thank you very much!
Wow nice video ❤❤
Saudações, que experiência maravilhosa, muito luxo e conforto.
Amazing train 🚂 very nice
I love Japan.
This is the nicest super rich luxury train ive ever seen. I wish I could have a ride on it.😊
Bravo pour ce remarquable reportage,cela donne envie,c'est peut être l'orient express japonais en beaucoup plus moderne et luxueux que le nôtre en europe ,,nous partons avec mon épouse au japon en mars 2024 mais malheureusement il n'est pas prévu de monter dans ce train.... une autre fois peut être
1st class all the way!
