Im sorry. Can i use IC card for get on the train. Thank you.

Thanks for the information we will be going there this October and it really help us. Btw do the ticket counter sell advance bus tickets to places of interest?

Trhank you for your very detail information video. Can you tell me after I get off from Shinkansen depart from Tokyo to Osaka how to walk to the JR Kyoto line to Osaka station and where is the lift /elevator to use to walk to the JR transfer gate as I carry two big luggage. Thank you ,

transferred with a shinkansen ticket already. Did not show process to buy Narita express and Shinkansen ticket

Thank you for a great video. Which station has the best selection for bento? Hakodate station or Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto station?

Hi . I will come from Kawaguchiko by bus which also stops at North Gate ( there was possibility to chose which gate I want get off South or North ). So Is 45minutes enough time to go from bus stop the shinkansen platform to Kyoto ?

It's not surprising that politics played a huge role in this episode. This is shortly after the huge Lockheed scandal of the late 70s. Coruption was the biggest game in town, back then. Probably still is.

Very helpful! I was worried since I only have 7 mins to transfer

Man , you are a life saver :D

Video super útil, muchas gracias por subirlo!

Excelente video, muy útil. Muchas gracias por subirlo!

Thank you :) i am going here this summer

So helpfull i hope the layout still same in 2024..

Fantastic

very helpful, thank you!

This video is pure gold. It helped me transfer first time in 10 minutes with kids. The ticket printing machines in the middle were great as well! I had my tickets printed there.

Anywhere you can buy bentos in this station?

Thanks for your effort in making these informative and enjoyable videos.

thank you kindly! I was wondering if i can transfer from Shinkansen to Kuroshio platform in about 12 minutes (!) ギリギリ間に合う

But I can’t understand 😅 clearly

The one big advantage for Tokyo is serving Shinjuku station! Shinjuku is the BUSIEST station in the world and MOST of Tokyo is in the WEST side of the city, not the East and South. I know it would be expensive, but I think there is still a benefit for Tokyo as well.

@JPRail do you think it was a mistake to sacrifice speed to put Tokuyama station closer to the city centre or do you think it doesn't matter that much? Is the convenience of the station more important than the performance of the line? I'm sure Tokuyama residents prefer the station to be convenient, but if it were built today, I think they would probably just tunnel and make the track alignment closer to 4000m again.

I miss your English videos @JPRail !

Hello! I wil arive at Osaka-Umeda and need to get the Midosuji line to Namba, how easy is to get there?

Excellent walk through thank you so much. Literally on the bus to Mishima now but wasn't sure where to go and this explains everything so simply!

From Meitetsu Station Nagoya, where can I find the station for city bus going to Sakae area?

Thank you! This the exact video I was searching for, basically walking us the whole way from arrival platform to the Shinkansen platform. Life saver

so we can buy Keisei ticket at counter?

Can the JR pass be used to ride all the lines on the Osaka loop like Ymatoji line?

Wonderous. My Daughter lives in Kyoto, my Son-in-law is Japanese and I hope to visit Japan in the not too distant future. Many thanks for this video,

Great vid! This is really helpful, tysm

Very helpful!!

can i buy a jr pass direct from the UK or do i have to buy from an agent?

While I believe that Shinkansen is far superior to most European so-called high speed services, there is one things the Europeans do that the Japanese Shinkansen doesn’t do and should do: having separate tracks for fast trains and slow trains. The Tokaido Shinkansen could be vastly improved if the Nozomi were allowed to operate on separate tracks from the Kodama, for example. How realistic is such a construction project?

Thank you! You solve my doubt about the coin lockers 🙏🏻

Thank you so much!!! This is my route next month!

Thanks for making this video! It's been very useful for planning my trip to Japan

Thank you for all these information. I will consider your recomandations for my next Japanese Trip. 🍒🍒🍒

Do you know if it is possible to buy regional passes on this site? I'm thinking of getting the Sanyo Sanin Northern Kyushu pass as I'll mostly be traveling in this area. Thank you!

We will be taking the Hakone Tozan train from Hakone to Odawara Station and then transfer to the JR Tokaido Shinkansen, How much time should we allow to walk to the Shinkansen platform?

thank you

This is an excellent video, and it's very informative. The first time I arrived at Kyoto Station from Tokyo, I was at first a little confused. I wish I had watched this vid before arriving at Kyoto Station.

So i need to tap out from the ginza line to go to the hibiya line?

if there are difficulties with land acquisition in some areas is there any case for building sections as dual gauge or conversion to "mini shinkansen"

japan needs to learn from places like the uk that shutting down "unprofitable" railways is a grave error when there are 3 road conections and 1 rail connection to honshu its no surprise that times are tough. I agree on something like a shikoku shinkansen being needed, as well as looking into new bridges and faster services for the narrow gauge network. thank you for the lovely video

Many thanks!!

superb!!!

why not make the freight trains faster? then it would be easier to separate running times (or possibly not need to). if the narrow gauge is the problem for speed, why not use a gauge change train? you could make JR feight more competitive and speed up the shinkansen services. fast freight is on my mind because the uk has just received the first class 93, which is to be used for 160km/h freight for more timetable slots (and on remaining locomotive passenger trains) thank you for the video. was very fun and educational for me.

Well I guess that's why Narita is a poor shithole and no one is interested in the area. They shot themselves in the foot because no one is gonna want to develop anything there, and this is why people are leaving the countryside for cities because countryside governments are dumb and closeminded.
