Hello and welcome back to Japan! Today we’re travelling onboard what’s widely regarded as the ‘Worlds BEST Train Seat’ from Sendai to Tokyo.
The Shinkansen E5 is JR’s fastest train, operating on the Hayabusa services to Hokkaido in the far north. They have this special ultra luxury area, called Gran Class. And quite frankly, it’s absolutely insane… I do hope you enjoy the video!

Is the old Shinkansen 500 still running on the Kodama Shin-Osaka – Hakata service? I liked the 500 a lot better than the 700 and managed to fluke catching it to Hiroshima.
Great video !!
The E6 Komachi – Akita Shinkansen is coupled with E5 Hayabusa – Tohoku/Hokkaido Shinkansen enroite to Tōkyō at Morioka Station 盛岡駅
halloo 🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨 salam dari Indonesia,, kami punya kereta keren keren juga🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is awesome 👍👋💚🎄🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🙏
Can't wait to have the E5 shinkansens here in India!
There is also a lounge for gran class passengers at tokyo station.
Beautiful trip, industries with tries like fall!!!!!!
Here I am, but I arrived late again, even if I'm a channel member and I have early access to the videos, but, Who cares?
I wish y'all Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noël or the same phrase, but in other languages!
*And, if you're gonna post an early access link to next Tuesday video on the weekend, don't wait my comment until from Christmas' Day afternoon or evening to after the video's uploading*
Thanks for the great report! Yes, Shinkansen never disappoints me, only Japan can make a train travel be that superb. By the way, I really love the background music at the end of the video, where I may find it on web?
300kph and the beer was hardly shaking at all. Smooth.
Food looks great! Good touch with the local beer 🍻
Amazing video, mate !!!!!!!! I hope you are doing well …and this E5 series trainset looks magnificent and green car seat’s definitely looks like airline business class with oval shaped window. Definitely, enjoyed watching it. By the way, just became member once again and can’t wait to watch early access videos. 😊
Freaking shinkansen mate. What a lovely experience!
November 2022 and everybody on board is wearing a face diaper. Will it ever end?
Couple an E6 to an E5 and you'll end up with 1!
Gran class & 320km/h !
Omiya has Japan's largest railway museum !
Buen reporte como es costumbre, gracias por tu trabajo y por el paseo. Felicidades y mas viajes en 2023 🇺🇾
Great trip. Finally you try the highest class on Shinkansen. Because you mentioned your trip from Tokyo to Hakodate, can't wait for that, especially when the train approaching Seikan Tunnel. Also can't wait for your trip trying Sunrise Express and other train.
Great video, thanks for making this(and all your other ones, too!) and sharing it with us!
Video idea: Best (or worst, maybe?) train bar cars.
I have a high desire to visit Japan but am concerned that because I don’t consume seafood at all if I will struggle to find enough Western foods and meat 🤔
10:49, hmm, dining on a train at 400 km/h+ maybe?
The train and the seat really are fantastic but if you have a green car JR pass then you are paying a huge supplement to sit in Gran class – 14,260Y EXTRA when the difference from green -> Gran class if you were buying cash tickets is only 5,240Y. The price of the 7 day green car pass (for 7 DAYS unlimited travel) is only 3x the price of that supplement. This makes it very bad value for green car JR pass holders.
Really looking great job

I remember commenting about this in a previous video, fantastic to see this come to fruition.
I remember how amazing all the Shinkansen trips were when I was traveling around Japan (November to early December this year). I tried the Tokyo-Toyama, Osaka-Tokyo, and Tokyo- Shin-Hakodate Shinkansen's' among several other regional trains. Truly the marvel of the rail world.
Nice train , view , video👍
I'm from INDONESIA
Nice video!
Please try Chinese CR400 trains business class and compare them to Shinkansen
