My favorite part of STJ videos is waiting to see if the "!!" appear during eating segments to signal something exceptional. 😂

I love the description of the food so much! But I gotta know if that pillow is medium hard or medium soft. 😂 I adore this channel ❤

Even the standard seats have so much leg room in front of them. That's super nice.

Tbh this is the only travel channel I watch, it's solo travel or no travel for me 😂 I tried a few but kept missing the commentary. Solo does it like no other.

Really beautiful train. Catchy music, but nothing can compare to the Sunflower song. 🌻

We in The USA could learn lots from Japan & Korea on their train system. It’s amazing!

Noticed the Asahi headquaters near the river after leaving Asakusa. Funny how Japanese industrial design turns everything into a modern hotel lobby. 😂

The deep fried beef topping sandwich looks tasty.

I wish trains were less expensive in America, costs almost double what a plane ticket does these days.

omg the train interior design is so beautiful

Agree, but I think traditional big rectangle windows with shades would have been a better choice for the suite.

👍😊🤔. Thank you for sharing. Blessings from Texas, USA. 👍👍

Always love to see this when STJ leaves a kind note about the sudden start of some music such as at 12:24 in this video. That’s real attention to detail!

That train looked amazing! And do take us along if you go back there, please, I would love to see why it is a popular tourist destination

That looked like a very comfortable train, and it was very quiet, despite being full. I have to admit a fascination with the ekiben, and wish I could try them. Thanks for taking us along again.

Definitely a very good looking train and quiet unique with the window design, thank you for sharing your journey

When you said you were feeling sleepy so was I, when you brought the food out I began to feel hungry, I think I’ll have to regulate my viewing on you tube 😅

Stunning! Japan continues to lead the world in train travel.

Thankyou for always travelling and eating 🤘🥰🤘🇦🇺💜🇯🇵

Another beautiful train of Japan 👏🤩💕

I appreciate this journey so much and it's always a pleasure to experience your work on KZread!

Japan has everyone so beautiful and unique trains 👍

STJ, Thank you very much!

very nice and lots of legroom.

SpaceX! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

I love your videos especially because in every circumstance you always find the positive side

I love these videos.

This new express train 🚆 looks very futuristic! 👍👍👍👍

Another fantastic video!

Another awesome video 😊

I will be doing this trip in just over 2 weeks from now! Thank you for sharing.

Man. Ekiben are such great value. We really need to figure out how to do food like that in the US

What a lovely train! And I'm so glad there was a happy !!

What a beautiful train. Thank you!

You are the most respectful traveler and it is so appreciated.

A nice day break! 👌🏼

Nikko is pretty awesome to visit (three times myself). Interesting that both Asakusa and Nikko have major, and famous shrines. Thank you for showing us this new train! If I come back to Japan I'd love to take it.

I love how you describe all the things your eating

Beautiful train! ❤️👍🏻

❤ the new design of the train.Looks like you weren't the only vlogger ,in the compartment section of the train. I to would fall asleep on the train ,when the seats are that comfy.👋💕🇦🇺

Greetings from Toronto, Canada.

Very nice. Thank you.

Great video and music

Amazing train

I am amazed that the railway companies have the capacity to include special extra trains. Also the funds to buy the new trains or have them converted from a different use. I do not like the restricted view caused by the shape of the camparment window.. A hexagon is a waste of space. Once again I find your ekiben interesting.

Nikko is on my list of places to visit in November while I'm in Japan.

It’s a good place to go. One of the many things to see is the famous carving of the three wise monkeys.

its just so peaceful to watch your vids.

Wow, looks like a wonderful train! I hope I get to ride it! 🚅🚄🚋🚊🚆

I love the design of this train!

The food looks good!

Video is good and beautiful I like it. Success forever.

That inarizushi set looked so good! Inspiring me to hunt down some variety inari or maybe resort to making my own.

Just what I need to get rid of the crazy stuff in the USA thanks, my friend amazing Absolutely amazing. Be safe, much love, please have fun for me, and you ❤❤

Its been awhile but glad to check this out , lots to catch up on from STJ

awesome new upload

Seeing the inari with different toppings gives me an idea to make that for myself. In the UK inari are usually just filled with plain sushi rice and put in mixed sets with maki and uramaki rolls. I like inari because they're easy to make at home, though you have to be gentle with the tofu pockets

That is a tight squeeze

"Heater? I don't need it. I'm already hot" I choked lmao

Thank you for the great video 😊**Edit: Also, I see you Nico 💮

トラベル系では、そろさんの動画がupされるのが一番楽しみです。

Hexagons are the bestagons!

Beautiful

I want to ride one so bad but I doubt I will ever get the chance to so thank you for sharing ♡

Is this a brand new service? It looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing!!

Great trip, finally you get this viral train.

Ah, beautiful Nikko... going all the way there and not enjoying it even for a bit makes me a little sad 🙂 . The Nikko Inari sushi ekiben looked pretty good. 🚞🙏

Shout out from pittsburgh pennsylvania

wanna try this!!

I think I would enjoy a regular seat more myself, that inari looked great

This must be the best job in the world.

Great videos. I was so close to visiting and working in Japan at one point myself. I had experience with Motion Capture and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to visit Japan.

I like this train and loved the journey in different seating. Maybe next time you will be able to stay a bit longer in Tobu-nikko and relax.

Great train, very comfy but windows are a little odd 😊 Food looked good through

The self-heating ekiben are more appealing to me. If the train has a microwave, then I would get the refrigerated ekiben...especially, if it's beef.

nice

I ❤ inari... 😊

I like the view from the window on a train journey. I wouldn't be happy paying more for a compartment, and getting the reduced window size.

Greetings from Romania and Japan ❤

WOW !!!!

Love your vids. Looks like there is a STJ wannabe in KZread land: Solo Travel Journals. Thought it was a new channel by you, but I don't think so.

Spacia X needs a theme song...like Sunflower :)

I was thinking the same thing too😂

I think the pair of legs ahead of you in the next compartment was also video recording the compartment and needed to prop open the door. Auto-close is so funny to me.

*JUMPS IN THE STRETCHED OUT PART OF THE COUCH* MINE! *HISSES*

I want to be there!🥰

It's odd to have a smiling bull on the bento box wrapper. I'm sure it was anything but happy on the way to becoming a bento. The inarizushi looks delicious...

This is like a fantasy train line. I want to ride it. But 1.5hrs is not enough! I need time for 2 or maybe 3 bento boxes :)

Beautiful train. Inexpensive fare, but if so hard to reserve, why were there so many empty seats?

Spacia X No.1 sounds like something an army would use against Godzilla

Back in 2019 I visited Nikko. Wanted to use Tobu but tracks were damaged by Typhoon! Had to take JR instead...sigh. Some of the walking trails in OkuNikko also couldn't be accessed....maybe it's time to go again!

Please explain the luggage store next time. Were they coded cables !

I can't help but think of SpaceX when I see Spacia X.

its good that we have a change from sunflower

online reservation are extremely complicated .maybe you should do a video about that one lol

Cute train, but I was surprised that it was shakey. The compartment would be great if you travel with little kids, especially on the way back.

That's a result of Japan's narrow railway gauge (the distance between the tracks). The rails are only 75% as wide as standard gauge. This means the whole train is narrower, and there's more of a lever effect from the center of gravity to the wheels, so the train is "tippier". This also means the top speed is limited (typically 100 MPH vs 125 MPH conventional trains on the Northeast Corridor in the US, and 150 MPH for Acela Express) and you can't fit any cargo reasonably on it (Japan has the lowest percent of freight by rail in any developed country; this is the reason for all the ferries you see on this channel).

Only downside with Japanese trains IMO is that they feel the need to play a whole symphony in 5 acts, just to make a quick, short announcement about something or wish passengers welcome on board. With all that noise playing like the sunflower song every few minutes, I'd lose my mind if riding that train 😳

I don't know. That music is cute, but I don't think it has anything on Sunflower ;)

Inari looked delicious. Is that train carpeted? Not easy to clean spills on carpet

Leaving a comment for the algorithm

Now you got me wondering if that little "craft beer stand Murmur" is still there or not. It was a highlight of my last trip to Nikko. The existence of the train means I will never need to transfer in Utsunomiya again. I can't wait until I get my chance to ride.

Heh...looks like the person in the next compartment along on the return trip was trying to record it for *their* channel... :-)

It's always Ekiben time for you! I'll be in Hachioji next week, so if you want to convince me about Japanese short haul cruises, Please let me know. No ferries, but plenty of discussion welcome.
