What a lovely excursion. I would find it difficult to divide my attention between the artistry of the food and the glorious view. Thank you for allowing us to join you on this trip.
Japan, this country is really something, too beautiful
日本の風景はまじですごいですね!いつかこの列車に乗りたいです。
The train was gorgeous, the views amazing, and the food looked delicious. The local people waving at the train made me strangely emotional as well. All in all I loved this video
I love that everyone celebrates every train when it takes off ❤ this looks like a beautiful trip
If I ever get to visit Japan… THIS is the trip I want to take. Beautiful scenery… fabulous food!
I love seeing the traditional Japanese architecture of the houses on the way - so ornate and beautiful
Truly, a fascinating story was told. Between the thought and heart put into the cuisine, the joyful, warm villagers, and the pristine landscape...is like a book of poetry. I hope these things will remain preserved in the Japanese culture. Thank you so very much for sharing this experience. Forget all of Japan's city experiences. Give me times like these. You are a joy.

This is just so beautiful. It looks like it stepped right out of a Hayao Miyazaki movie.
In the beginning of the journey I was looking at the infrastructure. The train tracks, the power lines , the bridges, the trestle. It all looked original. I felt like I was looking into the past and it was so reassuring. I don't have any other way to express that. I feel like this is the best one of your videos. It's a place I would never want to leave.
This was an incredible journey . Stunning scenery and delicious looking food .
A lovely journey, and reasonably priced for a "specialty" train! Thanks for sharing with us 😄👍
Magnificent trip in a magnificent country ❤
I love the way there's almost always a "something" in these Japanese meals. Just goes to show you how much variety there is in Japanese food. 😀
This was, by far, one of the prettiest voyages you have shared with us! I got a chuckle out of the yōkai folks bidding you farewell at the one station!
I've been having a bad day today and your videos have been cheering me up for months now. This one nearly made me cry a few times, but in a good way... being reminded of how amazing humans can be to each other, even when they're complete strangers, was very moving. Thank you for sharing this experience with us!
What an absolutely stunning part of Japan, those steep mountains, the green, the blue rivers, just beautiful 😍 Arigato Solo-san
Anyone may have eaten their lunch straight off that passenger train's floor ! It was pristine and immaculate ... What a spectacular little part of glorious Japan .
Great trip, Shikoku Island having plenty of unique and luxurious sightseeing train, with some complete scenery from sea to mountain, urban to countryside, it's complete.
Wonderful train. Wonderful scenery. Wonderful food. Wonderful time. ❤🎉
Such a beautiful area! The more I see of Shikoku the more I like it!
This is possibly the best video that you have uploaded,the scenery,the food,the people all combined to give an almost dream like quality or something from Studio Ghibli! Many thanks for sharing such a wonderful experience.
What a lovely trip! The scenery was just breathtaking, and I've never seen such a pretty presentation of the lunch before. Such a fulfilling way to travel, SJT, and I'm grateful for you sharing it with us!
Oh wow! That's beautiful. A delightful train, and a wonderful way to deliver the food! The forward facing camera is cool. Lovely waterfall we get to see twice! Thank you for showing us another great trip.
My friend your on another amazing journey i love it oneday i hope to come enjoy japan they have so much to offer better than USA have safe travels ❤
I'm really envious! This looks wonderful! ❤ Good food and a nice beer while watching the amazing scenery roll gently by just seems heavenly.
So relaxing and beautiful! I felt like I was traveling along with you. Thanks for sharing the journey with us!
Only in Japan for a welcome send off and a welcome through our town...Perfect manners 24/7..In the USA now we are getting so afraid to go anywhere...just another shooting at a large Mall in Texas...evil is continuing in the USA ...You are a fortunate man to live in Japan...I wish I could, I would move tomorrow...Train was so comforting ...food delightful..scenery was a gift from above..and as I always..you have a monster appetite ..so Cheers /Kanpai... Mary from Fla..USA..
What a scenic ride . Looks fantastic, and yep you're right that route deserves to be known . Thanks to your channel , we can figure the most interesting places for travelling to Japan
I was not the least bit surprised that you had "seconds". Thank you for a lovely journey today. Very scenic!
Amazingly beautiful inside and out. I traveled thousands of KM in Japan and never saw such a nice looking train. Somehow you always seem to take trips on trains and ferries and buses that are almost empty. So much of Japanese transportation seems to be designed for peak holiday crowds but it is then run at that same level of service all year round.
The water falling into the pool looks so refreshing!
The scenic view of the luscious greenery from the window of the train was both beautiful and calming. The appreciative locals add to the charm.a very relaxing day trip. Thank you.
those green chairs are the most awesome retro - glorious
It's so pretty! So many places have scenic rail trips like this - the locals know but they don't get national or international exposure. Thanks for sharing this one with us.
What beautiful scenery! What a pretty area! I just love how the townspeople hang out and wave at the train. I got a kick out of the people in costumes.
Oh, how marvellous! This is the best excursion train i've seen yet--the ride is nice and smooth, you get lots of little stops with friendly people, and the food looked both beautiful and tasty. I so dearly want to take this story myself.
Wow! The food looks like little jewels! ❤ the box is adorable
Everything in Japan is neat and well done. I will be taking the same trip in the 2024 Spring!
Какая приятная поездка! Комфортный вагон и прекрасные виды за окном. Спасибо за видео!
This made me cry happy tears over my breakfast 😭❤️
10:00 this reminds me of the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire. Nearby, there's a similar tourist train that runs from Conway through a similar valley. It's fascinating to me that the landscape in Japan is so similar down to the mountains and trees. The pine trees even look the same. Kind of crazy how you can find similar plant life and landscapes on polar opposite sides of the planet.
What a wonderful train journey. As a tourist this is something I'd love to do as I've already really done the big cities stuff numerous times and this would be fresh and new.
The only thing missing was a curry with large rice. . . What a lovely trip, and thank you for sharing it with us!
@10:11 Those high stripped embankments tell me that when the Yoshino River swells it _really_ swells... must be an awesome sight. Shimanto, Niyodo, Yoshino... Shikoku has the most spectacular rivers. Amazing views and food, this Shikoku Mannaka etc has to be one of the best train rides _anywhere_ . Thanks for sharing STJ 🙏

I wonder what effect you showing this fabulous ride will have on its popularity. I hope it improves its fortunes, Otsukaresamadeshita
Great film. Thank you. We were lucky enough to visit this beautiful gorge last autumn but, sadly, we did not take this amazing train. Shikoku is an amazing island with so many wonderful things to see
I loved the stunning views, definitely a trip worth taking. Thank you for bringing us along with you.
See the kids running to try to keep up with the train as it departs - sweet. Having taken the Silver Fern luxury train from Auckland to Wellington in NZ a few years ago, a local Auckland kid popped over the fence as we departed to give us all the finger. It's the little things that tell you about the quality of people of a country. lol
"1000-Year Story" is such a great name for this train.
What a wonderful trip! Those views were breathtaking, and the food looked delicious. Thank you for taking us along. Now I really want a beer!
Didn’t know there is a town/city called Kochi in Japan, we have a city called Kochi here in India…your travel vlogs are amazing..Arigato Gozaimasu,Solo San..your fan from India🇮🇳
At the beginning of the video, I wanted a bento too! By the middle I wanted to drink a beer. I'm now going to the store to buy some apple pie to go with my coffee. The food looked so good, it really made me hungry. The scenery was the cherry on top.
Thank you for helping us work out what we’d like to do when we visit. You’re videos are very informative as well as an absolute pleasure to watch.

Thank you for your kind words and Super Thanks!
Lovely scenary, thanks for sharing. You were lucky with the nice weather. The food presentation is a work of art, it is almost a shame to spoil the visual effect by eating it!
Imagine trying to be an Amazon delivery driver trying to deliver to those mountainside houses…🙀
Thanks!

Thanks for the super!
A wonderful experience. Many thanks from Australia.
I loved that lunch box. I may have to see if I can buy one here in the States. Such a beautiful train and ride.
Makes me jealous to watch these videos because I wish we had such nice trains in America to ride on and enjoy the ride and food.
The quality of the ASMR in this video is delightfully soothing. I relish ALL of the sounds! So far, this video is my favorite. I tend to watch your videos right before I go to bed. I eat a little snack and pretend it's the contents of the bento box. Whilst you ate your apple tart, I ate an almond and red bean cookie for "dessert".🍱
Such a beautiful landscape
What a lovely relaxing day out. Good food, a couple of beers and great scenery. I would love to go on this train. Thank you for sharing the journey.
What a cool and relaxing train trip! Thanks for sharing it with me.
Another excellent example of what Japan has to offer! And I really liked the Love Love Bench!!
The scenery was breathtaking. Loved the bento box. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for sharing. If I return one day to Shikoku, I would like to take this train (even if I was already on the same tracks on normal trains). I was lucky to get a place on the old version of Iyonada Monogatari, which has an interior even more nice, I think. And the view of Seto sea was wonderful. Not that Yoshino river isn't great, an neither Sanuki Fuji (did you miss it? If I remember correctly, it should have been just after Kotohira). Anyway, these Shikoku tourist trains are surely the best quality/price in Japan, I have seen many others more expansive on TV, but it didn't seem as nice as these.
Such beautiful scenery. Thank you for showing us STJ-san
Couldn't believe what I was seeing. I'm originally from Pennsylvania, USA and the beautiful mountains reminded me of home,. Couldn't ask for a better train ride. Thank you. As for the Tiramisu vs. the Apple tart . . . whetter by chance of misfortune, you were given the best one. Hoping you enjoyed it. Loved the train ride ... will see you in the next one. Take care, stay safe.
Wow never been this early!! I love your videos!!!
Food looked so good and the scenery was beautiful.
I am thinking of visiting Shikoku on my next trip . it's very hard to decide where to go, cause i want to visit so many places in Japan. These houses on the steep hills makes me think of eartquakes and landslides, not so much about shopping. Fantastic views on this train ride, i can never get tired of these views !
What a wonderful journey thank you for sharing ❤
Everything you do is always at 120% awesome keep up the good work!
That box is just an appetizer for you :)
Wonderful trip! From the lovely train to the beautiful box for your delicious looking meal and the views. One of these days I hope to be able to visit Japan and travel on some of the train and ferry routes you've shared.
Absolutely loved this video. Lots of great information supplied. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful food presentation, everything neat, clean and kawaii. I miss Japan!
What a charming trip. The people, scenery and towns. The food looks beautiful and delicious too!
What a beautiful trip - thank you!
Beautiful! What a great little excursion ride. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, enjoyed seeing these parts of Shikoku by rail. I visited Shikoku a few years ago to do the pilgrimage to Kobo Daishi, walking, taking buses and trains. While I was not able to visit all 88 temples, I did visit a few in each of the four prefectures. Will go back one of these days and try to ride this train. Domo Arigato gozaimashita!
Thank you for taking us along on this relaxing and super scenic train ride. Not sure which I enjoyed most…the non stop food, warmth of the people from the towns or the picturesque countryside.
Thank you so much for always taking us along with you…this one was especially beautiful .
How I love Japan I will visit someday. Okinawa and Takatomi here I come... a few years from now that is 😁
I made it to japan! Im soaking up okinawa right now but i want to get on some of the trains like this you have shown.
I took the Anpanman train from Takamatsu to Matsuyama. It was fun, but this trip here looks better. Now I have an excuse to return to Shikoku.
Before watching your channel and some others here on KZread, I had an impression that Japan has the Bullet Train and ordinary trains. However, it's a pleasant surprise to see so many different types of trains and such beautiful, experience centred services with so much to look and feel. Simply awesome.....
Wonderful scenary and a very interesting travel experience, thank you for sharing your journey
although the seat lack privacy since it's restaurant style, i'm really enjoying the scenery and food, what a fascinating trip STJ!
Beautiful and a wonderful job of filming 🎥 👏 ❤️ 😍 Thank you 😊
From all videos of your channel i´ve seen, this is, by far, the most awesome scenery one!! Mountains, rivers... I gotta be there some day! Saludos
Such a lovely journey
✨Amazing/beautiful ✨
Omgosh! What amazing scenery! That food also looks amazing! Thank you for sharing your adventure 😊
I have been on this train in the morning out to Oboke and what a fantastice experience it is . We even made some friends on it.
The view is beautiful
Beautiful lunch box and the view was wonderful
My traveling days are behind me, but thanks to your video, I went on a train trip in Japan today. ❤️❤️
Wow! I loved it all. I'll definitely take this trip when I get to Japan.
I think I found my "add-on" trip to Japan! Arigato gozamasu!
