Riding the legendary Gran Class Shinkansen (Japan’s ultra-luxury bullet train) from Tokyo to Kakunodate! 🇯🇵 In this Japan travel vlog, we step inside the most exclusive first-class cabin on the Hayabusa bullet train to see if Japan's most expensive train ticket is actually worth it.
Before boarding at Tokyo Station, we share our chaotic morning coming from Yokohama (pro tip: train stations in Japan don't always open as early as you think!) and review a classic Japanese Eki-ben (station bento box). Watch as we highlight the incredible 7-minute "pit crew" cleaning process before stepping into the ultra-premium Grand Class cabin featuring reclining leather seats, premium amenities, complimentary Japanese beer, and a luxury meal service.
We also stop over at Morioka Station to explore a massive traditional Japanese bento box store filled with unique local delicacies like sea urchin, squid, and regional snacks. If you are planning a trip to Japan or love luxury travel vlogs, this behind-the-scenes look at Japanese train travel is for you!
