Legion of Japan which is still on of the beaten path for international Travelers also I’d like to talk about how to get tickets for yako and Jail West rail passes that are especially offered for toys from abroad and you can get on this new yakumo yakumo is the name of the ja

Train Services connecting okama to Yago City in Toto prefectures and matu and ISO City in shiman prefecture this area facing Sea of Japan is called s region which means Mountain Shades while the other side like okama and Hiroshima is called Sano which means mountains south

Or sun side as you see in the name of s shinkansen first let’s get to the other side of the honu island to meet the new train new yako by this old yako as of today the new train is not running yet and it uses all train that are built

When J West Used to Be Still A Japan’s national Railway this only remaining limited Express train from National Railway days 381 is retiring in June 2024 from regular operation this trains limited Express which means you need a regular fair plus limited Express tickets which is reserved seat number to get

On the train leaves from okama station that shink from Tokyo also stops so I’d like to take the limited Express called yakumo and right now this train is going to finish soon a new yako train is starting it continues the raid of hakubi line to yonago city and continue to ISO

On sign in line this is also the rout Sunrise ismo which is the only regular schedule Night Train in Japan go through the train ride on this route is very shaky like you cannot imagine if you are used to the trains in the city in Japan or

Shinkansen it’s not as much as I feel sick but a little tiring honestly after 3 of ride this yako is known for the shaky ride and this is also the reason new train was awaited I will miss this nostalgic feeding and smell of National Railway trains but now it’s time to

Change from this ride of yako train you see the dynamic view of the mountains and as you come close to the yonago you see beautiful Mount Dyson on your right side after Yago the train goes by Two Lakes nakami and Lake Shinji both have blackish water which is mixture of sea

Water and fresh water this is also on your right side on the way to ISO so you might enjoy this side of the view more when you travel but left side also have a nice Mountain scenery from April 2024 you see this scenery from a big Clear Window of new

Limited Express St in yako now it’s time to meet the all new yakumo this new yako train is made with lots of new features that makes your trip more comfortable let’s see seven features that the yakimo train has the first feature is the body of the kai

Itself this new Yak Mod’s bronze color body is made with a new system to slant the body of the train according to the data of the rail so that you don’t feel that much shaky and bumpy even on the mountain routs so that you can have a comfortable

Right for more clean and comfortable right each car has a air purifier for better environment that cize the air for travelers from abroad the big concern is where to put luggage and this new yor motor has lots of spaces for luggage at the end of each

Car all seat has AC plugs that you can charge your mobile phones and use laptop which is very important during travel it also has free public Wi-Fi it might not be that fast but it’s always comfortable to have connection to the world when you are in the location that you’re not used

To the restroom is located near compartment and in between regular cars near space for wheelchairs the restroom near wheelchair space is barrier free and have wide enough space for travel with mobility issues too even though the train is new and now made more comfortable in case you feel

Sick or need some privacy with your children or by yourself there is a small space to escape for a while that you can use for multi-purpose the sink area has also a curtain so you can have a privacy when you wash your hands brush your teeth and stting at yourself in the

Mirror and the last and the most important is the new yakma has a better seats let’s take a look at this one by one the regular seat which has the biggest number of the seat has one wi seat and it’s made with a standard of the shinkansen which has a wide seat

Pitch so even if the person in front the grind you still have lots of space for your work and eat but it has enough leg room and it has enough size and it has a very big window so you can enjoy the scenery of the sign area just like any

Other Japanese train you can change the direction of the seat so so you click this one and you hold like This so in case you travel with a kind of group of four it’s you can enjoy more with the conversation SC the scener and the only thing is there’s no table if you hold it like this green car has a wide seat that has a total three rows

And one side is a single seat so you have access to the window which is the side you can see Mount Dyson and leges seat has a yellow and orange color with design tle shell there are lots of episodes related to tle in the sign vision and the tle shows the fortune and

The long life and the compartment is the probably the most interesting feature of this new yako train there are four box seats two for two passengers and two for four passengers the seat has nice ooden col table that you can enjoy lunchbox and do some gaming with your friends or family

The interesting part is you can make it to the flat seat Mr Sania from J West will show you how to set up this seat for so you can take off your shoes and relax on this couch seat like you are in your room I had about 100 minutes on the

Train and I share the four cards of yako with 10 YouTubers or journalist it was interesting to see other famous YouTubers from Japan gathering for this new train from all over Japan and the train left for another leg of the trial light thank you J West for this great

Opportunity to ride this beautiful trains after you arrive ISO your travel ins sign region will start not I also haven’t visited every part of the sign region yet but you can see matu the capital city of shim is L by the lake Shinji and you can see M castle built in

Established as a house was ready he saved from the hebu monster that he exterminated and there it is said that he sang the first W which is a Japanese poem this means in theion Cloud comes up let’s build a hedes for my wife and this

Is said this is the first Waka which is a Japanese poem that were born in this country this new limited Express train called yako take you to this land of old Tales The Limited Express train yako runs 15 per day almost every one hour from okama station to isum MOSI station

You can purchase at the counter of the machine at the J stations or go to jail West online reservation choose yimo train and this real logo is a seat for the compartment for two people it’s covered by Japan Rail Pass for all Japan and also there are four passes by J West

Which is very reasonably set for international tourist when you travel West Japan why is canai sign area pass which is 7 days for 18,000 yen in the second one sign your sign pass with a little more wider area which is 23,000 for 7 days and third one is the Jr West all

Area pass which is 2647 days the great part of the Jr West pass comparing with JR pass is it’s including many private Railway that Jr West is connected that are not covered by Jr pass such as happy linei which is recently became non Jr line due to the

Opening of the H sh and also K Tang Railway and Che Express that has direct limited Express train with j West the last one is s s Northern C pass which is also 26,000 Yen this one covers northern part of kushu to Nagasaki and Kumamoto and pep it’s the same price with Jail

West all area pass but the difference is it doesn’t cover hokiku and southern part of wakayama prefecture but instead it covers Northern kushu and takamasu in the northern skok Island so depends on your and the length of the state in the west Japan it might be better to get the jail West

Pass instead of getting a ticket by June 15 all trains of yak mobile change to this brand new yako train thank you for watching have a great ride on yako train and have a great trip to sign vision of Japan
