Japanese First Class Train Tour and Experience. Today, I’m riding the Saphir Odoriko Japanese Luxury Train inside of their 6 seater private room from Tokyo to Izukyu-Shimoda, a go-to vacation destination for many Tokyo residents. It’s a unique train which offers premium seats with a view, in-train restaurant, and a whole lot more, which I’m going breakdown for you in this video. Saphir Odoriko is a limited express train service in Japan operated by the East Japan Railway Company, Central Japan Railway Company, Izukyu Corporation, and Izuhakone Railway. Saphir is currently quite popular, so I recommend booking the tickets in advance, especially for the private room or premium seats. For the 6 seater private room, I had to book 3 weeks in advance. This train has 2x 6-seater private rooms and 2x 4-seater private rooms and one car that is all premium green seats. This Japanese first-class train has its own restaurant, with its own menu of the perfect blend of delicate Japanese sensibilities and Italian gastronomical skill with local seasonal ingredients.

Paulo be Ballin!
This train looks extremely beautiful and comfortable ❤️
I've never found myself wanting to ride a train for the food, but here I am. Mouth watering 🙂 Thanks for another awesome video, Paolo!
it’s so funny in America we have Indian pale ales. And in Japan, you have an American pale ales.
SoCal coastal views??
Carbon fiber that would not survive a day in America 4:44
Hell yeah ❤ thanks paolo from Tokyo your awesome.
Bit more talking than the legend @SoloSoloTravel 😜😜
Paolo is weirdly obsessed with bathrooms in the places he visits in Japan, and I'm here for it.
I would put the pants on …. seriously
That train is amazing!!
Rails don't get laid in America because they won't let people buy cars. The rail is the road, as long as the traffic on the rails is safe, different quality trains, owned by different businesses, all speed rail, but some are run once a day between NOLA and Baton…Baton Rouge, and it's the same station with, essentially, duty free shops. This reminds me of the first man who went from Tokyo to America, he landed at San Fran and was impressed with the street cars.
3:40
Some flashy kicks…😂😂😂
This is the way
Right now you guys in japan probably know that there are several indonesian who passed train gate without paying…🤣🤣
yes I am indonesia…. and i will explain why that happened….
because in Indonesia… there is a saying "crime happens not just because there is a will, but also because there is a chance" and the gate is widely open so there is a big chance to break the law…. 🤣🤣
Paolo is really flexing on us in this video 💰
Paolo is truly the goat
Can JR green car pass be used?
What a cool train! I´ve never seen anything like this before.
LOVE sightseeing trains!!! This one is on my list to ride on the next trip! I have ridden the Hinotori from Osaka to Nagoya. That train also had many luxury comforts, l rode in premium class seating and for saphir odoriko I will also look forward to premium class as well. Def want that curry!!! Mmmm
Hello Paolo, I know you’re convenient traveling with your short pants on, but……………..😌 it’s none of my business anyway🙏
Fancy
Very interesting experience to travel on a Japanese train, I haven't been to Japan since 2002 and I can see Japanese trains have got really sophisticated these days. Ticket prices are reasonable if compared to those in France and Spain and even cheap if compared to those in Switzerland and United Kingdom. My favourite part is obviously the food and beer. Well done!
a whole ass restaurant on a train, now that is next level
❤❤❤❤
What is the cost of ticket?
The transportation was my one of the best experience in Japan. Very neat, comfortable, accurate and fast. Japanese think about every little detail for customers comfort.
Looks good! Especially enjoyed the food section!
Thank you for sharing this. This is definitely very popular especially during the kawazu sakura season in February. Pre booking is almost a must. Nice that they cook those dishes on train!
The only problem with theses videos is when you eat , it makes me hungry as the food 🍱 always looks delicious
Fantastic that the luxury in Japan is so affordable! As someone who is wheelchair-bound private rooms at such reasonable prices I'm quite jealous
bro, put on something other than swimming trunks.. You are not at the beach
❤ from 🇲🇦
its a reason why japan is similar like europe and future and also can be more expensive if they maintain they best quality ,also need to remember that they are so profesional making the best services in world so enough reason why japan is like europe in asia ,they have long experience since follow the western culture and combine with japan culture what a amazing
Nice nike 😮shoes
SO COSY❤
First like than watch ❤
Can you do a video of the pikachu train?
I like the idea of maiko watching this and Paolo trying to explain how he had no choice but to order all this food to show us it all 🙂
Do more “ a day in a life off..
When he was describing the meal, it just sounds fake. Paolo needs to work on his acting skills so that he can gst more sponsorships
Always looking forward to your videos Paolo. Hope we can experience premium trains in Japan too 😍
