absolutely a dream first time on the noomi train the fastest of the shinkansen trains and it was amazing only 15minute Journey from Fukuoka to um can’t remember the the station but it was amazing 15 minutes and it goes so quick so fast this is what’s the this is the most impressive for me but it’s also about its beauty I think the shin canens are really beautiful and we are actually in the south island of Japan and you can go direct all the way to to Tokyo via all the main cities such as Hiroshima Osaka Nagoya it’s an amazing train if you get the chance when you’re in Japan take the noomi is definitely more expensive uh but I did a 15minute journey a return for about1 15 so that’s where you can experience the train without getting bankrupt I really like the vibe of smaller Japanese cities this one for example this is CA um it’s only 15 minutes with the shenen and um it just feels so different it’s very quiet it’s a really nice slayback atmosphere this is uh one of the perks of it’s my fourth trip in Japan and I feel like every trip I’m discovering the country a little bit more and it always amazes me I’m really enjoying my trip to Japan because I feel like I know so much more about the country um I spent 3 weeks in 2019 to attend three World Cup matches of rugby in uh they were in three different cities there was one match in OA another one in Nagoya and I think another one uh somewhere else uh near shisa and I to the shin Canen I took flights I booked hotels bnbs literally every day I was making my planning where should I stay so I drop up the next Canan station and it was amazing and on this trip I feel like I know much more about the culture of Japan which is really nice relaxing walk tonight near kakura station you can see a museum there a Performing Art Center and a nice river flowing in the middle of the city is beautiful maybe there some mold there Japan truly is a stunning country it’s one of those places on Earth where you have to go there you have to visit it you have to check it out and uh every visit is different uh now it’s been my fourth trip the first time it was such a quick quick quick one um I remember I I was in Shinjuku I had a it was back in 2013 I believe it was my first taste of capsule hotel and I was absolutely stunned you know there was a jacuzzi in there I think a Sona even all that for like 20 a night and then I went to the Shinjuku Tokyo Tower for free and I got amazing Skyline but I didn’t stay that long I only stayed I think 2 or 3 days um I’ve also connected a few times via toky Narita on my way to India and other places but um my most important trip was back in 2019 when I attended the Rugby World Cup that was a stunning trip 3 weeks of pure pleasure ca Castle absolutely stunning especially now with the Sun about to go down is going to offer some beautiful glimpses of the city I really like Japanese tempers they’re so beautiful and look at its reflection on the water one of the few tempers in Japan when you can see Tor Gates along with a castle history combined with modernity absolutely stunning castle and it reminds me that there is one Castle you have to see in Japan it has to be Himi Himi so Google it out is the best Castle in Japan there is actually a really cool Zoo just next to it I did both and I had a great time but this is another impressive castle with the Imperial palaces and housing around it nice actually quite a big complex and there’s a shopping mall as well with Starbucks and everything eating a delicious matcha ice cream in Japan another stunning s Temple another stunning temple in Japan beautiful I love taking selfies with Tor Gates when I’m in Japan they I just find them stunning they’re all around the country the country the deep red with its environment it’s just beautiful look at this a relaxing walk 6:15 p.m. here in Japan the sun is about to go down so quiet so peaceful the water flowing another great day day two in Japan I can’t believe the amount of things I did started my day a bit late about 11 11:00 walked a lot in um fukoka to the bullet chinen train 15 minute ride to where I’m now and I just checked out the the palace the castle but it was closed so it’s a good reason to come back tomorrow Pura VA worldwide the second shut and Guy of the day and it’s a different atmosphere it’s it’s about 6:30 p.m. here so all the workers are here they came back from their work they’re having a cafe a beer or dinner I love hanging around in shutting guys it’s a great way to check out as many store as possible in a short amount of time [Music] [Music] I Hold On [Music] [Music] right [Music] huge vegetables this is a club musum sh another Luna Park check out the amount of bikes y why is one of my favorite places if you need a cheap cheap food one thing about Japan if is very impressive is that each and everyone expect the traffic lights they will not go at the red light whether they are pedestrians especially or of course um motorist and um I think westerners we have a lot of things to learn about it good morning y all from Japan so it’s day three today we are Wednesday the 3rd of May and um I’m in the I can’t even remember the town’s name but it’s a gorgeous absolutely gorgeous day it’s been I’ve been very lucky of the weather so far and I’m going to check out Corona World which is a massive complex featuring um steam bath Sona a cinema bowling and and a lot of restaurant I think it’s the place to be when you’re here so let’s go it’s amazing what you can find in Japan amazing Japanese breakfast consisting of mat up pastries can’t wait to stud again just back from Corona World in um Fuki G fushi can’t remember the name just back from Corona world and it was amazing it reminds me my first experience in Japan when I went to a nonon in Tokyo but this one was really more amazing because it was no tourist so I was full with locals there were about a dozen pools each pool had its own benefits contain the unique ingredients of minerals and pH potential of hydrogen uh the SAA finished off with the SAA and it was the hottest Sona I had ever been to it was quite large um but I couldn’t stay in there more than 2 minutes so Corona world it’s an ideal half a day you can make it a day trip as well because it is a really amazing relaxed room with free drinks and lounges great place to be if you’re in town it’s time for another ride on the shin canone so I’m no waiting nazomi 15 at 12:54 it’s only in 3 minutes and uh the unreserved cars are from 1 to three it’s cheaper if you get unreserved but bear in mind there are about 16 cars so out of 16 cars 13 of those are reserved and yesterday I went through them and they were 80% 90% empty so it’s likely to be packed if you have unreserved seats so this is when you’re in Japan you queue of course and everything is written on the ground see here eight cars number three non reservation so this is car number four so what you got to do is go to number three yeah [Applause] for speee spee foree was beautiful train in the world all yeah fore [Music] [Music] he [Music] for [Music] in Hakata station was only a 15 minute ride and uh it was amazing I just love the shin kenen now let’s see the shin kenen go from zero to 100 in a few seconds Cars one 2 and three are for passengers without sea presentations
