today we will be taking one of the fastest trains 
in the world that can travel up to 320 km per hour  
Japan’s notoriously Speedy Shinkansen we’ve taken 
some fast and some interesting trains before like  
in Thailand Vietnam Malaysia South Korea Taiwan 
and India but Japan seems to be ranking Above  
the Rest by being incredibly safe efficient and 
timely with an average delay of only 12 seconds  
and today we’re taking you with us from Tokyo 2 
Osaka in only the best this is Japan’s Shinkansen
we have just arrived at Tokyo Station and 
if you’ve ever been to Japan and especially  
Tokyo you will know that the train stations are 
absolutely chaotic and busy they are very crowded  
and they can be a little bit confusing but at the 
same time really organized and quiet as Japanese  
people always ask today we are going to take the 
bullet train or the shinkansen as you may know it  
for the very first time from Tokyo to Osaka it’s 
going to take about 2 and 1/2 hours and I’m very  
very excited to take one of the world’s most 
fastest trains what I’m less excited about is  
trying to navigate this insane train station 
I mean it is really confusing there are signs  
everywhere H this is going to be a little tough 
so I think the first thing we got to do is try  
and find a ticket booth we’re going to show you 
how we booked this train what it costs and what  
we’re going to eat on this train in a little bit 
to take the shinkansen in Japan is one of the  
attractions that you need to do I know and it’s 
one of the most incredibly convenient and super  
fast modes of Transport so here has the shinkansen 
timetable and this is all the stops that we’re  
going to our Train’s not on the board yet because 
we’re very very early we’re like 2 hours early for  
our train because we’re too excited but you can 
see how many people are passing through this is  
only one of the floors here at Tokyo Station 
but the signage is amazing so it doesn’t matter  
if you get confused the signs are really good 
and of course Japanese people are so helpful  
so you can always ask them for help and the best 
part everywhere in Japan is you have the vending  
machines and here at these vending machines all 
the ones that are blue are cold and all of these  
that are red are hot absolutely genius okay I 
think we need to go this way my girl there’s  
a green line and a blue line there’s ticket 
boots everywhere so it’s kind of confusing on  
which ticket booth is our ticket booth the best 
part about traveling with your significant other  
is he tends to carry all the bags thank you I’m 
extremely grateful thanks for carrying the bags  
this is what it’s like traveling through Japan 
going up and down stairs with a heavy bag and  
my bag and your bag and your fiance’s bag this 
is us this is us okay it says shinkansen and JR  
ticket line so this must be us okay how are we 
going to do this it looks like everything is in  
Japanese pickup Reserve tickets that must be us so 
if you’re picking your ticket up manually it may  
seem a bit overwhelming and confusing but luckily 
when we booked our tickets online we have a pickup  
guide because the machines are in Japanese we’ve 
got all the little screenshots here and we’ve  
got a little QR code that we got to scan you could 
stand in this line and you might not be guaranteed  
a seat so I would highly recommend booking it 
online but we’ll show you how to do this in a  
little bit let’s get our ticket first then we 
got to press this green button here and it’s  
all in Japanese so I’m just going to follow this 
okay green first okay now I need to scan my QR
code there we go
and that’s it so easy we do have a reserved seat 
so I think we’re in cart 5 and then we’re 9A  
and 9B so now that we got our tickets let’s get 
something to eat on the train we’ve got a little  
bit of time so let’s go grab a [Music] snack so 
I see over here that they’ve got Eki Ben sign  
which is the bento box that you would normally 
buy when you’re getting on the train there’s so  
many options here and look how full this store 
is I think people have got the same idea you got  
to get your Eki Ben this is kind of an example of 
what they look like and they’re heated so you can  
actually Heat this up they also have other meals 
and little cheese and ham little packets that’s  
so interesting what I love is that they all look 
like they’re in different shapes and sizes look  
how beautiful these boxes are and you can see 
what’s inside plus the price the this is a steak  
lunchbox crab they have beef tongue I think this 
one looks the best I might get this one I don’t  
know what anything is but it looks interesting 
I got the designer got my bag oh I made it out  
alive this is the Eki Ben that I got it’s so cool 
you got chopsticks on the side Eki Ben is like a  
Bento Box it’s pretty much like a Japanese style 
lunchbox but the most exciting part is that it’s  
self-heating you don’t heat it in the microwave 
you pull a string you wait five or 6 minutes and  
it Heats by itself I don’t know how that works but 
we’re going to figure it out I just got this one  
because it was really hectic in there and this one 
looked the most interesting so I just grabbed and
went here’s a quick little inside of the 
bathroom in the station all of the seats  
are heated I don’t know if you can see 
that plus on this side you’ve got all  
your sprays all your nozzles you even 
have have some music just to give you a  
bit more privacy in case you get stage 
right so what will happen if I press
[Music] this so we’re going on train 31 
1212 platform 18 okay so platform 18 I’m  
I think we can do it I’ve seen that 
there’s 19 platforms meaning that  
there’s 19 lines of highspeed 
bullet trains that’s absolutely
insane so this is what the platform looks like 
there’s a train on this side and on that side  
and this is the shinkansen and our train is 
here it’s Nozomi 31 one that’s the name of  
our train according to our ticket we’re in car 5 
which is this one and then we are in seat 9A and  
then you can see in this train There are 16 
carts that’s how long it is this is what the  
front of the shinkansen looks like holy moly 
it looks super Dynamic kind of scary look at  
that elongated nose can you imagine the amount of 
bugs that get splattered on this nose that’s like  
my first thought that I could think of I can’t 
believe how long this nose is probably one of  
the most impressive looking trains I’ve ever seen 
so it has just gone 12 and our train is at 12:12  
so we have a few minutes before our train leaves 
I think they’re currently cleaning the train what  
happens is as soon as these gates open you need 
to get on really quickly because apparently the  
train leaves within 2 minutes of you getting on 
it’s absolutely insane first of all how long the  
train is and how often they come I think that’s 
what’s impressive about the shinkansen here in  
Japan even on the platform they have a little 
kiosk so you can buy some drinks and you can get  
some snacks there’s some fish Lobster there’s some 
chicken all kinds of different snacks and treats
here so they’ve just opened the gates for us and 
we’re going to be in this train over here these  
are reserved cars so it should say here reserved 
as it does and I think it’s time to get on girl  
here we go car five here we go and we are on the 
shinkansen look this says oversized baggage area  
so this is where we get to put our bag right 
here okay so we got this little put this little  
flap down so our bag doesn’t slide away genius 
genius okay so I see seats 18 17 so we are seat 9
And look how much space there is there’s even 
enough space for this little carry-on bag got  
a beautiful view outside my window spacious 
seats armrest and we’ve got a table over here  
for some drinks or some snacks for my Bento and 
we can even see where the bathroom is where the  
bin is emergency SOS quite comfortable 
headrest we’ve even got a coat hanger  
on top I’ve got so much space that I could 
put my bag both my bags in front of me and  
still be comfortable plus there’s even 
Wi-Fi on board and there is even some  
overhead storage so you can have some empty 
space around us even though we’re just taking  
regular class with a reserved seat it feels 
like every class is first class because it  
is impeccably clean well lit there’s enough 
storage space I am so ready for this journey  
it’s exactly 12:12 and we are already on our way 
that is incredibly timely they are on the dot
perfect I actually read that the shinkansen 
trains are so punctual that in 2019 the average  
delay was only 12 seconds long imagine being 
delayed for 12 seconds oh thank you very much
good idea oh that’s much better 
now I have a lot more space thank
you so we’ve been on this train for about 15 
minutes now and we’ve already made two stops  
we’re pretty much going halfway across the 
country in only two hours which is already  
so impressive plus the timeliness of this train 
is just impeccable it is outstanding so now that  
you’ve seen us take that bullet train I think you 
may have noticed it might have been a little bit  
stressful and confusing plus if you’re buying 
a ticket on the day waiting in those long lines  
just don’t cut it but thankfully we bought our 
tickets on klook and everything was completely  
online and it was super easy to use so that’s 
why we want to thank shinkansen for sponsoring  
this video klook is an experience booking platform

[Applause]
information wow so we been on this train for 
about maybe 30 minutes and I’m already super  
super impressed so right now I’m standing in a 
bit of a walkway because when you’re sitting in  
your seat it is so quiet because obviously 
all the Japanese people are so polite and
considerate so I didn’t want to sit in my seat 
and make a noise and be inconsiderate to all  
the other guests so this train runs at 320 km an 
hour making it one of the fastest in the world and  
apparently one of the safest in over 57 years of 
operation there have been zero incidents and zero  
casualties in fact this is one of the safest 
modes of Transport in the entire world which  
is amazing to think that such a highspeed 
train is so safe and since Japan is known  
for having many many earthquakes these trains 
are also equipped for earthquakes where they  
actually have their own power source in case of an 
emergency so they are able to come to a complete  
stop safely so the first shinkansen was built in 
1964 to coincide with the Summer Olympics that  
was running and that actually paved the way for 
Japan’s leading system in trains which is super
[Music] interesting let me give you a 
quick layout on this side we have two  
seats and then on this side there’s three 
seats we’re sitting on this side and it is  
incredibly comfortable and quiet to take this 
train halfway across the country in only 2 and  
1/2 hours and I feel like if you’re a traveler 
and a train lover Japan is the place to go if  
you love trains I also just want to point out 
how fast we are going normally when you take a  
long haul train you get to see some of the scenery 
and see the countryside as you go by but because  
we’re going so quick you don’t even have time to 
look out and see everything because everything  
is just flashing by in front of you it’s a really 
unique experience to be traveling on the ground at  
this speed also we’re busy turning right now 
and the g-force actually pushing you to the  
side and even when you take off the pressure 
pushing you back into your seat is immense
okay well in every train that I have been on 
on this channel I’ve had to give you a little  
bathroom tour overall pretty neat so here 
we go we’ve got quite an elegantly designed  
mirror we’ve even got another coat hanger here I 
must say that it smells divine in here which is  
not what I could say for other trains that I’ve 
been on here in Asia we’ve got a baby sink and  
we’ve got some instructions over here so that 
you don’t please do not stand on the toilet  
how to use the toilet you wouldn’t believe 
how many people need to actually read this  
and then we’ve got the flush plus we’ve got all 
the Contraptions all the nozzles the sprays the  
bidet we’ve even got an open and close and 
you can even adjust the water pressure you  
can also call for assistance if you need the 
seats up right now so if I press this [Music]  
oh my goodness look at that you’ve even got 
an open and closed one so if I push that
again absolutely genius then you’ve got a 
diaper disposal that’s amazing I’m sure a  
lot of moms appreciate that plus a little 
seat cleaner so typically in Japan most  
toilets are heated so I’m going to give 
this one a little test ooh I won’t be able  
to go to a normal toilet anymore because a 
heated seat is the elite seat it’s just so
comforting it’s now time for Shev’s snacks and I 
think Japan’s Elite when it comes to train food  
normally train food is not that great but I think 
in Japan this looks pretty good and we get to try  
an Eki Ben for the very first time I actually 
may think that this is not a heated one but  
we’ve got some pork cutlet over a bed of rice I 
think this is an omelet then we got some pickled  
veggies I actually don’t know what what this 
is and then we’ve got some simmered beef with  
some veggies some mushrooms is this noodles but if 
you know what this is let me know in the comments  
very fresh very tasty pickled veggies kind of 
sweet and sour and then I’m really curious to know
what highly recommend getting an Eki Ben 
when you’re on the train it’s a 10 out of 10
meal and just like that our train 
is almost there we are about 5 or  
6 minutes away from arriving in Osaka it’s 
crazy to think that we traveled about 500  
km in only 2 and 1/2 hours if we had 
to drive here in a car it would have  
taken us over 6 hours to get here this is 
definitely the best way to travel through
Japan and we have arrived in Osaka that was 
so seamless and efficient just as I thought  
it would be here in Japan we have literally just 
got off and the train is about to leave it has  
stopped for only 2 minutes so if you’re getting 
on the train you need to get on really quickly  
because it leaves immediately and there it goes 
but I’m just looking there’s two train tracks on  
that side two right next to me and then I think 
there’s another four or six further on the size  
of these train stations is unfathomable when 
you’re coming to Japan there are trains in all  
different directions and you can travel to pretty 
much the entire country via train so here you can  
actually see the aerodynamic nose shape it kind 
of looks like a duck bill design and apparently  
it has that shape to overcome the sonic boom 
created when the train goes through the tunnel  
now that we’ve got off the train we’ve checked 
into our hotel and we’re going to explore the  
streets of Osaka but that’s going to be in the 
next video so please make sure to SUBSCRIBE and  
hit the Bell so you get notified when that video 
comes out we have also made a first video in Tokyo  
so make sure to go and watch that thanks so much 
for watching and we’ll see you in the next one
