Before It’s Gone! Riding Japan’s Hello Kitty Shinkansen 🇯🇵 Fukuoka – Osaka

It has been announced that JR West’s “Hello Kitty Shinkansen,” which has been a beloved train for about eight years, will end service on May 17, 2026, so I took a ride before it retires.
If you’re interested, I recommend riding it as soon as possible.

  1. I wish that I could travel on this train. Sadly, as a Canadian living in the US, it is but a wish. I do love all of your videos! Thank you so much for sharing Japan with us. ❤

  2. I love to see the castles! I always try to think what life would have been like when they were built.

  3. My Friday night treat! Time with Taiyaki and Mr Bird!

    Can Himeji castle be visited? If so, would you consider doing so? I’ve seen it on so many videos from the Shinkansen, I’m curious to see it up close but no-one I’ve seen has gone there

  4. Melancholy for the soon to be retired Hello Kitty Shinkansen.
    But This OnLY means Something Else that will be New will take it's place😊.
    🗣️More To Experience lol
    Also, only the real one's Remember the Sunflower Ferry Socks 🧦Video 😎

  5. I will ride Shinkansen from Tokyo to 博多in September. Your videos always offer very helpful information. It’s also enjoyable to watch them. Thank you Mr Taiyaki + Mr Bird.

  6. Thank you for sharing this kawaii Shinkansen with us Taiyaki-san. I am not a Hello Kitty fan, but I would still have loved to ride on it one day. Now, I can "half ride" it thanks to your video 🙂.

    P.S. Too bad that the sunflower socks are not tabi socks 😞.

  7. Вітаю Вас та Котика! Схоже, що у містера Пташки вихідний 😂 Дуже милий поїзд. Сподіваюсь, що ви сфотографувались з Кітті. Забавні носочки, але з собачками та Няку були кращі 😊 Я не дуже розуміюсь поїздах, але схоже, що Кодаму найповільніший із сінкансенів. Сподобалась ваша подорож ❤❤❤

  8. 倉敷行く時に、新大阪で乗り換えて利用しました。
    一人席を予約しておいたのに、最初の30分は自由席とか関係ない所ブラブラしてました(笑)。いい思い出です。

  9. Thank you for the sweet pink episode😍It' s good that you had a cheerful interior in the rainy weather and experienced company on the journey😆It's a pitty Myaku Myaku couldn't go😒

  10. If they are ending the 500 series of Shinkansen, including this Hello Kitty one, have they said what will replace it?

  11. いつものように、本当に面白くて素晴らしい動画でした。最後に一つ提案させてください。80年代から時間が止まったかのような町に行ってみてはいかがでしょう。

    山梨県清里市――かつては「高原の原宿」として知られていた。

  12. 私が乗った時は2号車満席だったw 7、8号車は普通の山陽こだまと大差ない状態でしたが・・・

  13. – Why do all good things come to an end?
    – Cause life's like this, that's the way it is.
    Yeah. The Hello Kitty Shinkansen is my second favorite Shinkansen (right after the Hayabusa), and I'm so happy I got to ride it in October 2024.
    And (secondly), yes, Bento on the Shinkansen tastes better.
