Why Japan’s Bullet Trains are the Best in the World (Tokyo to Kyoto Shinkansen) 🇯🇵



Why are Japan’s Bullet Trains the best in the world? Leaving Mount Fuji, I take the Shinkansen from Yokohama in Tokyo to Kyoto. In this video I show what the experience is like taking the fastest train on the planet.

I’m Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and YouTuber who’s been to 61 countries. I’ve been travelling around the world full-time since 2017.

I have travel series’ from many of the world’s best (and least) known destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This marked the start of my efforts to turn vlogging into a full-time job.

After that European trip I explored much of Asia: visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan.

I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.

I’ve travelled to North America just once as a YouTuber, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.

In 2022, I took my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting Kenya and Tanzania, before heading to the Middle East, stopping in Dubai and Lebanon. Europe followed, covering both the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus, and afterwards going back to Italy for the second time to cover Milan and Sicily. I then visited the Caribbean for the first time, covering the Dominican Republic, before heading to both Brussels and Amsterdam, then covering Taiwan and the Philippines in Asia. I finished off the year with a trip around Morocco.

I started my travels in 2023 by finally visiting Paris, taking the Eurostar from London. I then headed over to Qatar for a few days, before heading to Asia, with videos following from India, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan.

  1. Fascinating stuff, keep them coming👍🏻 HS2 here in UK, doubt if it will be as good as Japan, if it ever finishes in my life time 🤷🏻‍♂️ I like the music

  2. did he just call the 2nd biggest city in japan " the outskirts of Tokyo" ????bro

    but good video nonetheless

  3. The fastest shinkansen in Japan is the Tōhoku Shinkansen with max speed of 320km/h. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen (Tōkyō-Shin Ōsaka) max speed is 285km/h, while Sanyō Shinkansen (Shin Ōsaka-Hakata) can reach 300km/h
    Fastest highspeed rail can reach a max speed of 350km/h (Spain & China)

  4. Beautiful music and countryside. Speed seems to be the norm. It’s always fun to eat new things. It all looked good! How nice to see a clean lavatory.

  5. I know you meant you can't just jump on the shinkansen from Fujiyoshida, but just to (pedantically!) point out you can actually just jump on the Shinkansen at Fuji! Fuji city is the other side of Mount Fuji from where you were and Shin-Fuji station is there. You will have passed through it on your way back from Yokohama to Kyoto. Have enjoyed your videos for years and really glad to see you travelling Japan!

  6. Welcome to Japan! Glad you liked Japanese toilets haha
    There are three things that I always miss about Japan when I’m abroad: Washoku, Japanese toilets and convenience stores! 😂

  7. Interesting how they have a fence to protect people from the tracks…understandable considering the speed but such a good idea for other countries. Thanks for sharing Jason.
