I really love this video! Canada is such a beautiful country. It's on my bucketlist to visit.
But my health is very poorly, so thanks to you, I'm able to visit it from a distance.
Thank you so much for your videos. They are highly appreciated, more than I can put into words. ❤
Saying hi from the Netherlands 🤗 🇳🇱
I really liked your video too, it is the first time I watch this type of video and it is really relaxing, informative and "feel-good" 😊 You are really respectful of people and your surroundings, and we can feel you are enjoying every little bit of your trip. So thanks for sharing! 🎉
Oh, it is a small detail, but I would not be against having the prices showed in euros as well 😂
Thanks for another relaxing and awesome video, brother. By the way, do you have Patreon? I would love to support the channel monthly. Your content is worth it to me.
I forgot to say I really enjoyed your video it bought back happy memories. “ Thank you for the heart “. 💜
I did this wonderful journey from Vancouver to Montreal with my late husband in 1981. We had 3 stopovers in Banff, Calgary & Winnipeg. Unforgettable memories of a trip of a lifetime. Fantastic way to enjoy a beautiful country. Thank you Canada, I recommend 100% your train service.
Love that there is no stupid background music and no incessant yak-yak-yak.
All of these Japanese travel channels are like this. Text titles. Silent jokey haha commentary, no muzak. There's lots of them and they are all clones of each other!
I just watched one from his travels through Switzerland into Italy. The background muzak was there, unfortunately.
I wish he'd just come out.😊
My sentiments exactly!
@@PreservationEnthusiastand enjoyable for some like myself. Everything on youtube is a clone.
A lovely video! As a Canadian, I am always thrilled when someone visits from abroad and gets a chance to admire our beautiful country. I hope you felt safe and were treated well during your journeys here!!!❤
Susan eres un encanto de persona. Que bellas palabras. Si. Si eres canadiense. Tu pais es una maravilla. Alla viajó mi nieta en varias ocasiones.
I’m a Texan, but my mother was born in Red Deer and grew up in Okotoks. I visited your beautiful country every summer! My dream - at the age of 78- is to take a train ride across Canada. It’s so beautiful!
I LOVE Canada. It is so beautiful and everyone seems so nice.
I assure you that it is not just the Japanese who find it awkward having to share a table at meal times!. I think North Americans are better attuned to this but, if you are an uptight Englishman (such as yours truly) it can be a palace of embarrassment, when all I would want is peace and time to watch the world roll by. Incidentally, great that you are showing more of your face these days - it makes your channel more familial and “cosy.” (Dylan, of Dylan’s Travel Reports, took the leap into showing his face a couple of years ago and it makes his content more relatable). Anyway, thanks for a great video!
I visited Canada in 1974, only Toronto, but i loved the people and the country. I have always said that if i came into serious money, i would travel across Canada on the Canadian. Canadians and New Zealanders have a shared past, and are brothers.
UK, Canada, NZ and Australia ate cousins. We are family always.
Shared past..How come?
@@shravan7623 we shared the same root of colonialism and slavery, and the denial of genocides of the natives which is part of our early childhood education
See Canada is to the US as New Zealand is to Australia. Totally different countries yet bordered and the World assumes we are the same. I always travel with my Canadian flag. I do not want to be mistaken for an American. I love America but it is not my country. I am very proud of us! No guns! No anti hate no anti abortionists! No super judgmental ppl here!Well maybe there are some but they are not welcome in public politics or speeches here!
I think Australia and US are same and New Zealand and Canada are closer. The side guy... with our own identity waiting to be found out by the rest of the World!
I like the long pauses on the specifics, like food, menu, and such ….it gives me time to pause and pick out my meal choices👀🇺🇸🕊
Although,recently I’ve been binging on the Amtrak train California Zephyr…and I want the blueberry cobbler white chocolate cheesecake…..and the thick flat iron steak ……I love eating while traveling with you good people 😊
Thank you for taking me on this lovely train trip with you. I think it is very kind of you to thank the cow for your beef food! Your positive attitude about everything is so refreshing, because it seems nowadays that people mostly like to complain. I hope you do videos of the other two sleeper trains you mentioned.
You must take this trip again in the winter months .The scenery is twice as beautiful with all the snow on the ground and mountains .😊
I'd love to do the winter one❤
My dad use to work on the stream trains shovelling coal into the furnace ..he was called the fireman. Then he did his exams and became a train driver. He would drive passenger trains to the boarder then switched to driving very long freight trains. His family had a free rail pass to travel on any train in Australia, but he only used the pass one time because every time he tried to sleep he would wake up in a cold sweat thinking he fell asleep driving 😂 He retired from the railways and passed away 15 years later but every time I see a train I think of him. 🕊️ RIP Dad
When I rode this train, we had the in-between accomodations: not quite economy, but not really a private room. We were alotted a booth like you might see in a diner, but in the evening the attendants would transform it into a bunk bed. The seats would fold into one bed, and the other came out of the ceiling. I got the top one, it had no window, and a net behind the curtain kept me from falling 2 meters onto the floor. Thankfully I’m not claustrophobic, it was certainly cozy.
And even as someone who’s lived on the prairie side of the rockies for most of my life, the Saskatchewan air had me like spongebob in sandy’s tree dome.
I live in Winnipeg. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while. I can’t believe you came to Winnipeg! 🤣 Nobody comes to Winnipeg 😂
I was a bit surprised that Winnipeg was the destination. I wonder if this is followed by a trip up to Churchill.
Or it might be possible that he took the entire journey, but split it into 2 videos.
@@chrisjohnson7929maybe. I think the train that goes to Churchill is the furthest north you can go on a train and I’ve heard it’s quite the adventure.
@@likethepear It's the farthest north you can go in Canada, but the train to Fairbanks Alaska, and the train to Narvik, Norway take you to higher latitudes than Churchill.
You took this Canadian by surprise when you mentioned a train to Fairbanks.
Its only from Anchorage or Denali park.@@chrisjohnson7929
万物にありがとうの気持ちを
伝えている事が素晴らしい
壮大な景色を見せてくれて
ありがとう
Loved your video my friend. You have a great sense of humor 😁. I sincerely wish you a great day, wherever you are.
Cheers from Germany.
Did I hear you say that you are going to Churchill and in the Atlantic arm as well? That is phenomenal. I've be a Canadian for a long time and I've never been to some of those places myself. I don't know if many of your viewers realize the enormous size of your trip. Trees, fields, trees, trees, field, trees, rocks, trees, field, rocks, river, trees, town...Thanks for your sacrifice
that sounds... like a song :)
Don't forget the trees 😊
@@tishamorgan8388 and the rocks
And long, long, long stretch of fields! ❤
@@bmolitor615 🤣🤣🤣
That’s twice you were on a train here in Vancouver that drove right by my office window. You can imagine me waving at you. I had an identical room when I moved west 35 years ago from back east and took the train.
Thank you for this video - it brought back many wonderful memories. In 1977 (!) I took this train from Vancouver to Montreal on what was then Canadian National. The train left Monday evening at 8 AM and arrived Montreal on Friday about 11 AM. In Sudbury the train was split into two sections, one for Toronto and the other for Montreal. I had a similar compartment (then called a roomette) and it was a trip of a lifetime. It stopped for 30 minutes in Jasper which was getting the first snowfall of the year (this was in October) and also for 1 hour in Winnipeg. Videos such as this bring back great memories.
Thank you for this experience. I always think I'd like to take a long train ride across Canada, but when you showed bits of the beautiful scenery I found it heart-tugging that I couldn't get off the train and just walk around in it for a while. I wanted to yell Stop the train!
O Canada, you truly are a beautiful country. Terrific video.
Welcome to Canada, Kuga! I love your videos. You inspired me to visit Japan a few weeks ago. One of my highlights was the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto. I love the precision and attention to detail in Japan. The sashimi and Waygu beef were delicious. And your toilets are out of this world! 😅
Chulada de video me lo encontré y lo disfruté mucho, pues yo nací en el ferrocarril de México y todo esto que aquí ví, lo vivíamos muy constantemente todos los niños que allí nacimos.
Gracias amigo Japonés por tu bonito video que subiste de esos lugares preciosos de Canadá.
That train is as old as I am. Nice ride and views.
with that price tag i would have expected a lot more of the "snacks" options.
I always enjoy your nice videos. Your humor and the backgroundinformation you provide makes them very pleasant.
So beautiful Canada travel Train. Thank you for sharing nice video. Have a nice weeken day everyone
初めて見させていただきました。
へー😮スゴーの連続でした。
かっこいい列車でスイッチもレトロでかわいい。70年も大事にされてるんだと、そこがいいなと思いました。ずーっと安定の信頼できる列車なんだなと。
お食事も美味しそうだし、景色もよくって、私も一緒に乗ってる気分でした。
これからも気をつけて😊
Kuga, you are hilarious 😁 I particularly enjoyed the mentally unstable tap water 🤣
You should also watch "solo solo travel" if you love Kuga's one-liners, since that's where he gets most of them from.
Well integrated toilet is hilarious. Look like, they allotted a toilet space to sleep. 😀😂
Thank you for sharing the beauty of my country. I am very happy you were able to see Canada
If I had to live elsewhere I'd choose Canada or Switzerland - but as Canadians are so friendly and we 'partly' share a common language......then it looks like Canada!
What a beautiful trip. It was almost as good as being there. And the train, food and scenery can't be beat. Lets go somewhere else.
Dang. 93 hour journey. Kudos to the individuals who built the railroad.
Hi, looks to me like a 1950,s train, art deco, lots of metal. Small sleeper room. Dining car looks nice 👍. Menu looks great and tasty.
yes, Canada still in 50th, with prices in 50th of next century...
Loved this video, even got to see your face 😍 So glad you enjoyed your trip and Canada. I live slightly east of the Canadian Rockies (closer to Calgary) and I think I take its beauty forgranted because I see it all the time. Nice to see someone elses perspective. Can't wait to watch your other Canadian train videos. Thank you ❤
We fly, every year from New York, to enjoy Banff. It’s our happy place😊.
Every time the train stops at a station for a while, I always get scared when you get off, you might miss getting back on the train before it leaves. For the ice cream you should have it with chocolate syrup.
Merci pour Magnifique voyage en train au Canada 🚆😊
I rode The Canadian just before COVID hit, in a cabin for one, from Vancouver to Toronto. Wonderful trip. Accommodations, service, food, etc all superb. Loved that the menus changed every day so food variety was huge. Lots of activities during the day. Since you have ridden the Rocky Mountaineer, I would be very interested in your comparison of the two trains. I will anxiously await your trip to Churchill! ! Thanks.
What an amazing trip! I was blessed to take a driving tour from Edmonton to Banff to Jasper and back. One of the best trips of my life!!
I grew up behind the Saskatoon station where u see all the trees. Thanks for showing!!!
You had the incredible good luck to ride the first and only Canadian train ever to arrive ahead of schedule.
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us! You are very charming.
always good to see your train travels mr kuga-san. i would travel only if i can have the solo compartment room and was wondering if the train crew would allow me to just take my breakfast, lunch and dinner to my room or i have to eat at the table because im the type that just likes to eat solo with no disturbances social distance style. KEEP ON TRAVELING EVERYONE AND BE SAFE OUT THERE🚅✈🛫🚌🚗
The steam locomotive in Jasper never hauled the Canadian. The Canadian was a Canadian Pacific train that went through Banff. The CN locomotive you saw in Jasper hauled different trains on the Canadian National route that the current Canadian follows. The Canadian switched routes from the Banff route in 1990.
glad to see you in Canada - I hope you enjoyed your visit! 😊
As usual, Kuga-san, you have outdone yourself in presenting the beauty of train-travel in great splendor (with great cinematography, too!) ❤️!
I have seen and hiked in the U.S. Rockies, but in some ways the Canadian Rockies are even more dramatic 🇨🇦!
Thank you so much for another great ride-along adventure 🥰!
Thank you for sharing your train trip with us. The scenery was breathtaking and relaxing. I’m gonna put this trip on my bucket list. 😊🇺🇸💙
Seeing the "Last Spike" photo in the video, capturing the moment the final nail was hammered into the railway, I couldn't help but reflect deeply. The photo, filled with the faces of white men, strikingly lacks the presence of any Chinese individuals. It's a stark reminder of the forgotten sacrifices in our history. Over 600 Chinese laborers are estimated to have lost their lives constructing this railway, yet their contributions seem to be missing from this iconic moment. It's a poignant reminder that history often tells only part of the story, and it's up to us to remember and honor all those who have shaped our past, not just the ones who were captured in the photographs. Canada's railways should consider adding a historical description next to such photos to remind the world to not forget and to be inclusive of all who contributed.
Really enjoyed sharing a bit of that journey with you: your outlook, eye for details, and personality brings so much to the videos. Thank you very much.
At first I was sceptical because of the high price and how spartanic the room was. But I think if you consider the whole experience it looked like it was worth it.
I can vouch from previous experience with Amtrak Coast Starlight and California Zephyr, the Canadian's rooms are bigger by a fair proportion, they are better designed (and have private toilet in each cabin - VERY useful for 3+ days!) and more well-equipped and the good is better - specially the Dinners.
What finally clicked in my head is that the fair is more akin to the cost of cruising. Before I used to look at train costs compared to flight costs and rail never seemed worth it. But like you said, there is a whole experience to take into account.
Enjoyed this video till the end. It was fun traveling with you and getting to see the beautiful landscapes, Lakes and the awesome Mount Robson. Thank you so much 🙏 New subscriber 👍
Thank you for a most excellent video, with much appreacion for our gracious neighbors to the north for their hospitality.
SHARON SHNEYER, I'm glad I just discovered your channel. I love all things Canadian (well figure skating, rail passenger trains and wildlife). I'm a former rail and transit activist here in the Southeastern Pennsylvania area in the US.
I was grateful several decades ago when I was in my twenties to spend a month in Canada. I took the train from Toronto (my favorite city), to Cochrane, Ontario. It was an overnight trip. I spent a few days in Cochrane where I took the Polar Bear Express from Cochrane to Mossinee, a one day trip which was approximately 2 1/2 hours up each way, and we had 5 hours there. That is where the James Bay starts. There is at least one hotel where you can stay. I am still in awe of Cochrane. I spent a week in Toronto, a few days in Ottawa, and a week in Montreal, where I took a one day bus trip to Quebec where I tried to relive my childhood memories when my parents had taken me there decades early where we spent a couple of days.
I don't know if the aforementioned trains still exist, but it was magical!!! I always tell people who are younger than me (I'm 64), that if you're going to do any traveling do it when you are younger, because you never know what will happen once you get older. There are always cheapie ways to do things. ANY SORT of traveling is not possible these days because of both medical and financial situations.
This is one video that I watched from start to finish.......fabulous 😊 I have always wanted to take this journey, but too expensive for me. It looks amazing. I have been to Canada many years ago and was left with many wonderful memories......😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad to be in WInnipeg at last - I can eat and drink my coffee now! Great trip - looking forward to your other videos - thank you!
I was also born in 1953. I vacationed in Ontario as a kid going fishing with my family on Rice Lake.
❤❤❤ no music no talking, fantastic!
Beautiful well explained trip! I loved the video and detailed journey!
Thank you for sharing!
Kuga-sun, извиняюсь что пишу на русском . С теплым приветом из Узбекистана! С огромным интересом и удовольствием посмотрела это видео. Все так наглядно и подробно как будто ехали с Вами ! Спасибо большое за такое позитивное и интересное видео.😊
Yea I'm gonna do that in April hopefully for my birthday and go to Vancouver to see my aunt
Thank you for taking us along on your beautiful trip Kuga! I'm looking forward to more videos
'Thank you past me ....' 🤣
Thanks for sharing. Will add this to my bucket list!
Have taken this train 3 times from Toronto to Vancouver ...love it!!!
As always, a wonderful video! Thank you for taking us along!
Thank you for sharing such great video. Canada is a beautiful country.
Thanks for sharing this!!!This Texan sure enjoyed it!!!
I have been sold! My next train trip will this one. I live in the USA but this is so very much nicer than my Amtrak transcontinental nightmare. I had to take 2 buses, had to change trains 3 times, and my connection in Chicago was missed by 15 hours so I ended up in a NOT First Class berth as I had paid a large sum of money for, with no refunds made. One train to get to the other side of the continent? With that kind of trip?! Sign me up.
Thanks for sharing Kuga! I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. You inspired me. Well, the flatlands of the prairies didn't as much, but they do have their own beauty, I guess. I live in Montreal and I'll consider the The Ocean train for Halifax. Glad you enjoyed the trip, enjoyed the food, and enjoyed Canada.
Nicely done! And I love the ambient sound as opposed to annoying jabber and music. Re the train, unlike grungy Amtrak the windows are clean!
As a Canadian, I sincerely apologize for the low speed, low frequency, and high cost of our trains. At least the views are nice.
How much is the ticket?
Great Video.!!
Putting this trip on the bucket list! Thanks for your great reporting.
Obrigado por legendar em português,🇧🇷🇧🇷 Curitiba PR, feliz Natal 🧑🏻🎄🧑🏻🎄👋🏻👋🏻♥️♥️♥️.
Kuga - from the land of top-notch infrastructure and deluxe rail travel - gets on board The Canadian.
Me, from Canada: uh-oh 😂
Bruh, me too! I'm straight up embarrassed by association. Nearly $2000 for a 70 year old train?! $10 000 for the premium cabin?!
@@mokko759 It's cheaper to fly internationally - literally to Japan - than it is to take an ancient VIA train across the country.
The toilet across from Kuga's bed...😑
@@eileenwellings Toilet not even walled off by a curtain or anything. And if you need to use the loo in the middle of the night, you have to put your bed back up!
I know it's cheaper to fly across the ocean than to take that train. I'm flying to Thailand next week and for two round trip tickets, it's less than $4000. For goodness sake, I'll be riding the train half way across the country, I've booked a private cabin on their newest train ( Which really isn't that new but still younger than the 70 year old Via) and it's only $75.
Where the hell does Via get the balls to charge those outrageous prices?
@mokko759 It's a tourist train, a more than likely once in a lifetime trip, VIA know they'll get the money, tourists don't know any better or just don't care about cost
Comparing train travel to flying is like comparing apples to oranges. You do the train for the experience not to get from point A to point B cheaply. Ive taken many flights but never saw beautiful scenery like that outside my plane window (And don’t get me started on airplane meals….).
The price is really the cost of 4 nights accommodation, 15 great meals, terrific scenery, meeting nice people and arriving on the other side of the continent (if you go all the way to Toronto:)
Loved this..i did this journey many years ago so it brought back lots of happy memories! thank you!!
I did the Toronto Vancouver ride in Prestige in 2017. Very enjoyable experience except for the 16 hour delay in leaving Toronto. Your video brought back very happy memories. Thank you for sharing
Beautiful video! Very well done! 🤗 I enjoyed the trip! 🛤
Здравствуйте Куга! Очень люблю путешествовать с вами! Прекрасная поездка!
Beautiful scenery! Thank you for a marvelous video. 🎉
高级，感受到了不一样的出行方式~感谢！
Thank you for putting Australian $$$, not many vloggers do. Great journey Kugasan
Your captions are hilarious!
Hello Kuga, thank you for making all of your videos. I enjoy watching them. Looking forward to more videos from you!!
What a wonderful program. Thank you and I look forward to watching more. Outstanding. Love from New Zealand
This train does not seem luxorious. It is quite charming and cute from the retrofit of old and new. Thank you for visiting Canada.
Incredible. You had some lovely weather for the trip. As always your videos are some of the best travel videos on CZcams.
Thank you for taking us along with you on your adventure. Would love to take the train tour through the Canadian Rockies someday. Canada is a beautiful country. Love from 🇺🇸!
Thank You for sharing your trip with us.
😊 Looks so Wonderful and Relaxing to travel by Train. Beautiful Canadian View 💕. I heard the Canadian are wonderful people. Only the food meals at the beginning of the trip look too small to me (not too much rice) .Thank you for the video. Efrat.
OH QUE BELLEZA....GRACIAS HERMANO......ABRAZOS DESDE MEXICO !!!
The bed covers up the toilet!
fatal flaw

I thoroughly enjoyed this! Presentation was key and it was appropriate and dare i say perfect! Thank you!
Kuga,
This was an enjoyable trip because of your presentation. You did not bore me with insignificant information. Your posting of comments was perfect. I really enjoyed your sense of humor, your
thank yous after each meal, and your placing the camera on you which further made me feel that I was actually travelling with you. Many thanks!
Thank you for sharing with us the more affordable side of this train travel! I love trains but no way I'm spending that much for the prestige!
Hello ! Thank you very much pour ce voyage en train. Avec de magnifiques paysages !!!
Wow, that’s so cool. Thanks for sharing! Love your adventures on trains.👍
I often thought about taking this trip, but chose not to follow through. Thank you for showing me what it's like!
Yes!Me too…
Thanks for another great video! Hope you had a great journey. Although for the money you paid I am amazed there wasn’t a turn down service - that you had to prepare your own bed.
Looks like a beautiful way to cross a stunning country, but that price is hefty.
Edit - also, if you need the toilet during the night, you have to raise then lower the bed?!
thank you for sharing Kuga... tuning in from USA
The train in Jasper is a Canadian National U-1-a. A Mountain type steam locomotive built in 1923. It was put on display in Jasper in 1972
I've always wondered...Do you tell the people you are dining with that you'll be filming? 🤔 Or do they ever ask you why you film? Also, 12:35 is stunning! I did the Montreal>Halifax trip on VIA Rail many years ago - it was a fantastic experience!
