    Those steam eye masks are a must for me when I take the overnight Greyhound bus from my city to Chicago (which is about 8 hours). They help me fall asleep easier, especially because we don't have busses with private seating like this. I think I became unreasonably excited at the ottoman and leg rest on this bus, and how far your seat reclined - Greyhound seats barely recline at all!

    Japan has the coolest forms of transportation available to the public. I don't like taking buses, as I had to take several in young adulthood and they're just not always all that comfy, but this one is a fantastic thing. The vibration wouldn't bother me, but being able to recline my seat and put my feet up and actually sleep would be a great way to get around if I had to travel at night.

    As an American truck driver, I loved seeing the different trucks parked at the rest areas. That one purple truck that was taking up two parking spaces would have gotten yelled at by other drivers for doing that here in the US. That's considered very inconsiderate because truck stops run out of parking spaces very quickly here. Do you know of any youtubers who are Japanese truck drivers? I would love to see what being an over the road (long haul) truck driver is like in Japan. Thank you for your videos!

    The Shinkansen costs just as much as the dream liner if you take non-reserved seats (you still get a seated place usually, just not designated) and only takes 2.5h from Osaka to Tokyo. So unless you can actually sleep on busses and want to save hotel costs, the dream liner bus is not a cheaper or more convenient option.... there are regular night busses that only cost 7,000Yen that I prefer since I can't fall asleep anyway but just want to save money (seats are normal bus seats).
