GranClass offers the best service and seats on the Shinkansen for only 18 passengers. I’m taking it from Hokkaido to Tokyo.

It's such a long ride, but in winter also such a beautiful ride when there is snow.
Still need to try out the Gran Class. Maybe on a day trip to Sendai I might spring the extra money for the Gran Class on the way back to Tokyo just to enjoy all the luxury for once. 🤔
Just out of curiosity would it be cheaper and faster to just book a flight ticket?
we took the shinkansen from Tokyo to Aomori return a couple months ago – with a couple of side trips on the way back – very nice – green car seats looked like old-fashioned lounge chairs with electric recliners and footrests were slightly short for this six footer – my feet would end up pressed against the back of the seat in front. GranClass looks nicer seats but more expensive so meh. Definitely a way to travel at least once for the experience.
Oh yeah – our north-bound train started with the red and green cars joined – red split off at Morioka for Akita I think – green continued north – so you got the reverse sequence.
Upon arriving in Tokyo did you seek out beef curry?
Hello Solo. Can one bring inside the Gran Class bento box and drinks?
Those food portions are too small to be Western Fare.
You need to get a tripod instead of trying to do your meal one handed. It looks like your struggling with you meal 🥘 you are yoporai yet?
Are the food and drinks included in the price?
I do think there should be maybe slightly better service for the price. For example, name brand wines from the USA/Australia/Europe would be my expectation for 50,000 JPY, and a larger hot meal to be provided. While i understand that traditionally trains in Japan are self catered, i do think that if they want to charge this sort of price they need to provide these additional services such as hot meals and name-brand alcohols to be competitive.
Great Shinkansen ride.
I havent watch in ages and i miss your videos so muchhhhh now i can binge watch✨✨
Question, how do you know if the shinkansen will stop for a longer duration that will be enough to step out to buy ekiben? Is there actually an announcement?
Being prepared with food before the whole ride is what i wld do but u know sometimes things happen and u cld end up not having the time to buy food🥲
I liked the single joke lol
199mph top speed and here in America trains can't stop crashing going under 60mph. 🙄
Keep sharing sir
That was a real interesting travel vlog. Your choice of foods looked delicious. Can’t wait for your next vlog.
My life goal is to visit Japan someday, and I WILL ride the GranClass. 😎 Thanks for another great video STJ!
0/10 I see no curry on this menu!
Western light meal looks 🤮
不味そうですねぇ！ 和食の方は，どうだったのかなぁ？
That was a lot of beef
Japan is addicted to plastic! Why must everything be covered in it? Nice video report.
Go ekiben go! I would do the same thing. From the few ekiben left in the shop I bet everyone else was just as hungry as you were. Very thoughtful they also wrote the emiben type in English.
Do the ferry companies allow you to show the vehicle/truck transport areas of the ferry? It would be interesting to see how many vehicles are transported per the trips. Thank you for your interesting and entertaining videos.
Cool 😎
That menu is top notch!
Can JR Pass holders avail of Gran class on Shinaknsen?
There is a clear difference between getting your money's worth and acting in a pigish manner, disgusting you felt the need to have so many alcoholic drinks in a public space, oh and you forgot to pat down the carpets, other seats and every other space inch of the cabin …
Does this train go from Tokyo to Sapporo?
Are food boxes recycled?
18:45 hahaha good one lmao

Just got back from 14 days in Japan. Had Curry with tonkatsu. SO much better than here in the States. Thank you. We had so much fun and fell in love with Japan. ❤🎉

Bro’s trip from Hakodate to Tokyo was filled with luxury
Meanwhile when I went the trains were so full we had to stand around in the halls for 4 hours ;-;
18:45🤣
They are coupled, I am single. ROFL, i almost died.
Why do this when a plane ticket is $40 and only 1hr 40m?😂
A better video title would be "Sitting and eating on a train"….
