The Hokuriku Shinkansen line was extended and opened between Tsuruga and Kanazawa Japan in March 2024. I’m taking this line from Kyoto back to Tokyo.

surreal experience. the countryside, the rail servicer, the packaged sushi meal. little disruptions or hassles make you realise that after all you are in a normal inhabited planet of humans. amazing video as usual.
It’s always so strange to me that you are given a plastic bag when you buy things in Japan. Here in Ireland we bring our own reusable bags or you buy a reusable bag at the shop if you do not have one. Shops will not give you a plastic bag.
Is GranClass seat eligible to be reserved with JR Pass ?
Well it will be very worth after I spend ¥50k worth amount of money for the pass
I rode the Thunderbird from Kyoto to Kanazawa last March 2024. However, I did take a day trip from Kanazawa to Fukui(round-trip) and was wondering why the Hokuriku Shinkansen was an option. I guess the extension explains that. Love and miss Japan already 😍
Thank you so much STJ ❤for another great video. I never thought of visiting Japan, but now I’m rethinking my thinking 🤔 😅❤

"I'm ready to eat" 😂😃
21:00: Nice Meniscus!
Looking forward to a food video, I love those.
こんにちわハク。
今日、ハクはとても速いチューチュートレインに乗って旅行しています！昨日の最後のビデオで、イチローさんは北海道へのフェリー旅行をしました。
そして彼女はあなたの名誉のためにカレーを食べました!!
とても上品なチューチューハクですね。私がそこで韻を踏んだのを見てください。
機内サービスのないグランクラスキャビンをなぜ持つのだろうか??それは残念だ。BYOEだと思います。駅弁を持参してください。
何？グランクラスなのにカレーはないの？それは茶番だ!!
ホストのHAKUさんと一緒に、とても速い新幹線Choo Choo trainに乗っていただきありがとうございました!!
また近いうちにお会いしましょう。
That's a shame. It sure looked good.
The Northern Coast is so different from the Osaka-Tokyo belt
Where is the woman's bath?
That music on the first shinkansen was actually kinda cool. I thought you were about to end up in an anime opening.
oh… I have taken the Thunderbird from Osaka to Kanazawa before. Why did they change it… 🙁
That is very strange that they did not force the station to install a pedestrian bypass, or an over bridge.
It is like a deliberate barrier to pedestrians, that forces you to buy a ticket. That would certainly have been forbidden in New Zealand.
Soooo excited to watch this new one later tonight! Arigato, STJ-san!
I'll wait until the connection is complete. No Mount Fuji on this trip but the coastline seems decent
I'd rather take the Nozomi Super Express until then even if I have to get a reservation
On my last trip to Japan we got the Hokuriku Arch Pass as an alternative to the national JR pass and stayed in Kanazawa. Nice little city. We took the Thunderbird Express for a day trip to Kyoto (covered by the Arch Pass). We accidentally got on the non-express train though and stopped in Fukui to change train. We took pictures of the dinosaur animatronics out fronts (getting to the dino museum is kinda stupid complicated for a major attraction?). On the way back the Thunderbird Express only stopped in Fukui before getting back to Kanazawa. I forgot to try the curry at Kanazawa station 🙁 Next time you are in Kanazawa you should try the Yukizuri pastries by Le Musée de H. It is this flaky pastry flavored with local plum wines! It's a good omiyage.
On the way to Kanazawa we spent a day in Nagano and I ate delicious toasted sesame pudding by the Zenkoji temple and we went for creamy tonkotsu ramen at a random place that was open mid afternoon. I was called Hakata Yattai.
It's a nice-looking train, and I loved the blue. Loved the scenery, thanks, STJ.
Slipper!
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I always look forward to them!
Travelling with shinkansen is always a cool experience for me, even though i only ride it for once when i was a university student in japan (Bought regular seat, green one is quite expensive for a student like me). It is fast but sometimes packed with peoples. I prefer traveling by bus to be honest. It does take a lot of time (around 6-8 hours, osaka to tokyo) but we can enjoy the scenery of Japanese highway (because i like it) and stopping at service points is also fun thing to enjoy.
Thank you for this great video! I rode the Thunderbird from Kanazawa to Kyoto last year. It was really fast and comfortable. Does it still go all the way to Kanazawa? I don't believe that having to change trains in between really improves the journey.
