We ride the Shinkansen, Japan’s Fastest Bullet Train! Japan's trains are the BEST!

WE ARE IN JAPAN! We ride Japan's Shinkansen bullet train from TOKYO to KYOTO and OSAKA to TOKYO! It is Japan's fastest train and home to the world's FIRST EVER bullet train. We travel on the Nozomi train twice and we also explore some of the other incredible trains that Japan has to offer. First we ride the metro through Tokyo to pick up our JR train tickets at the Tokyo station. Then we buy an ekiben (train bento box) a tradition culinary delight to enjoy during our train ride. But will we have enough time to eat it? These trains are incredibly fast! We also travel by train on the Kyoto to Osaka line (Kansai Airport) on the Naruta Hello Kitty train! We also explore the older subway lines of Osaka's old trains! This video is a must watch for Japan and Japanese train lovers!

About our channel

We create travel & lifestyle vlogs from around the world, about the world! We share our travel experiences both as tourists and living locally as digital nomads. In April 2021 we quit our jobs, packed up our stuff and MADE the bold move to TRAVEL FULL-TIME. We believe travel fosters understanding, compassion and reflection in ways nothing else truly can!

 

We love meeting new people and learning about the local cultures in all of the countries we visit. TRAVEL has ALWAYS been a part of our journey with 14 countries in our first year BEFORE we started full time! We got engaged at Aphrodite's Rock in Cyprus and celebrated our engagement in Paris. We have been together for 5 years. Jenn is Canadian in her late 40's and Leon is British in his late 30's!
