It must be one of humankind's greatest feelings to be warm and dry and traveling on a smooth and quiet modern train through a wonderfully snowy landscape. Wish I could have been there in person. Thanks for the next best thing. Keep up the winter snowy day filming as I love those journeys.

Kuga san is not just a train enthusiast, he’s also a food enthusiast. And! His sense of humour is subtle yet 😂…❤

雪を巻き上げるひのとりがイケメンすぎてたまらん！

I love the Hinotori. I think it's one of the most beautifully designed trains in Japan. I rode on it from Nagoya to Osaka, to see the scenery, sit in the very comfortable first class seat, and also see the shortest train station name (Tsu - つ - 津) in Japan!

大阪→名古屋の旅新幹線だとあっという間だけど…火の鳥…素敵な列車に乗って車窓からの景色を眺めながら優雅な時間を楽しむ旅も素敵でしたね👍️

I've only ridden it on sunny days, but if you ride it on a snowy day,we 'll be able to feel Japan's winter to our heart's content.

That was excellent. And thank you for your perfect and sublime humor. The scene (right after you bought your coffee and snack) with the snow covered community and a very blue sky was outstanding. Just gorgeous.

yes, it also reminds me of Canada..., but I haven't been there either. :)

Absolutely stunning ! I so wish we had trains like this in the United States that were as efficient and clean as the lovely ones you have in Japan. I have had the honor of meeting several Japanese people over the years who were visiting the United States and all have been truly lovely wonderful beautiful people. Now I want to visit Japan !

The train driver looks more like he's the captain of a starship! 🤩

Hinotori is definitely a tourist train I'd like to ride on the next time I visit Osaka! The seats look so comfortable and the view is scenic.

So good to see a notice of a new Kuga video. I drop everything to watch. The Japanese passenger rail system is outstanding. Thank you for allowing us to ride with you. Congrats on saving 700 Yen on this trip!

ah kuga! me and my whole family enjoy watching your videos so much! this one was especially exciting!! a premium seat! it looked so comfortable! much love from the netherlands!

Very cool trip! I was in Tokyo a few years back and it snowed a couple days and it was amazing how quiet a massive city can become! The train going through the station with the snow billowing up is an awesome scene. Also, now I’m craving Katsu! Thanks for another great and soothing video.

Great video Kuga. You have such great humor :D Nice red train, the seats are dramatic & look very comfy, quite modern & many functions. The chocolate biscuit looked very much like a Bourbon biscuit/Chocolate sandwich biscuit. Have a great week Kuga!

Thanks for sharing!

Nice looking train and ride. Thank you.

Amazing job, thank you 😊 keep posting please

Thank you for the video, I really liked it!

What a beautiful train, and the snowy landscape made it even prettier. Thanks for sharing this Kuga!

What an elegant train! And you had the best seat in the house! Thank you for the magical experience 💖🙏🕊

Fascinating video, thank you for sharing your experience with us. I really enjoy watching videos about Japan's rail systems.

How nice to hear Tchaikovsky's "Sugar Plum Fairy " on this trip. 😃

Wow what a fun train ride and the scenery was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

What a fantastic trainset with so many interesting features. The view forward through the engineer's cab is amazing. Nice choice of music too :) Thanks for sharing!

What a gorgeous train!

Food looks amazing!!!!!

That's so cool. I will be in Japan in a few weeks! Very excited

Congrats on 300k!

What an amazing train!

Very nice!

What a gorgeous train. Love the red paint, and those seats are perfect.

Nutcracker music. was a great touch! Thank you.

very nice (charming) train and a beautiful impressive track (the surrounding landscape is magical) thanks for the presentation

Your videos always make me relax so much, thank you Kuga, really! I hope bringing this kind of feelings with my videos as well one day! Japan is a beautiful country and it is nice to see someone like you enjoying it!

Thanks for the video. I love videos of train rides in the snow in Japan. Seems like there haven't been very many this year.

Super Awesome seat 💺, Car 1 seat 1 , Chilling like a King. Very nice train 🚆

interesting route! thank you!

Beautiful with the music

Lovely train. You had one of my favorite dishes in Japan!

Wow - what gorgeous train! 😻😻

Nice view ...

I WISH we had trains like this in Canada! Thank you for letting us ride with you, Kuga! 👍

thanks ,very good.

Another fun video ! Thanks for taking us on this trip and showing us how to save a little money.

Snow makes me happy too.

Great video, as always!

great train video

Gorgeous train! And that meal was a very large portion, I doubt I could have finished it all. Looked delicious, though.

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦, great video, I like how you are so appreciative of everything.

Thanks for this beautiful trip on the Hinotori. What a luxurious and comfortable way to travel. I would much rather take this train which is slower but still definitely first class and 700 yen cheaper. Great deal.Your meal looked delicious 😋.

Such a scintilating trip on a luxurious train. Gotta love those seats .. I want one for home TV ..lol. The mini vending machines are quite novel and a reasonable selection. Aptly named train it looks magnifivent. Thanks for the journey. Bushyboy Oz.

Wow.

The day you recorded this video was the day I went back from Nagoya to Osaka, on Hinotori. HAHAHA I really liked it! The seats were so comfy. I used it also from Osaka to Nagoya, on January 20. Can't wait to return to Japan soon.

This is a brilliant looking train.

Man Japan is awesome hope to visit it some day

Ahhh Kuga!!! You are a National Treasure my brother!!! I love it!!! 🤣🤣😎

I love your snow videos and The Nutcracker theme song (Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies) seems very appropriate.

Great seats ❤

Thank you Kuga! We ❤ you!

I gotta say Kuga, I've watched your older videos... they are all great! For me perfect, because really focuses on just the great footage. That perspective makes it more inclusive for the viewer experience. But this vid , the newer ones and Euro vids... you're really coming into your own!!! Not only great footage, good text narratives, you've got your own nuanced style. Keep up the good work, and always look forward to new vids! 👏👏👏

I love the design with the big and light-flooded driver's cabin.

Amazing train

Seat was great and food looked good.

Thank you for this video. I did not know that this train existed. I will try it if I have a chance.

Goood video👍👍👍

I'm Love Otomotif Japan. I like City Japan And Village. Beautiful,👦🏻,👍🏻✨

Welcome home Kuga San!!! great video. Both you and STJ are sporting BandAid fingers these days. Be well and thrive

Made reservations on this Express thanks to your video.

Отличие поезд ! Большое спасибо !

01:57 I agree, this name is perfect for this train's! 😅

Hi Kuga- that meal looks yummy. :D Glad you enjoyed your trip. We are getting snow over here too in the States. :D

Osaka to Nagoya Hinomori is next my trip for sure.

That is a meal I’m very eager to try!

An amazing journey.❄️☕ Arigato gozaimasu.👋

Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies = 😍

Interesting train. Might have to plan a trip to Nagoya and Osaka rather soon!

Some places in Canada have about as much or more snow than what was seen on this trip. We really don't see as much snow as Hokkaido, but we see our fair share. lol I live on the East Coast of Canada, within a 4 hr drive of the Atlantic Ocean. There's times we have seen up to 5 ft of snow in one storm. (over 150 cm) Our country doesn't let us have trains to all cities in Canada, because a few cities are located in the far Arctic tundra areas, and they aren't suitable for train travel at all. It takes 6 days to travel across Canada by train, and about 7 or 8 days to travel by car. There are only 2 territories that we can drive to, and one that can't be accessed by anything other than planes and ships. Loved this trip, and have been watching your snowy day train trips the most. Have a great week!!!

I love watching your videos. I feel like we are travelling partners sharing a good time together.

the seat has its own seat...!!!!!

Nice use of music, and the commentary is hilarious!

The ticket value is outstanding

Beautiful and so cheap!

Arigato Kugasan. I so enjoy traveling Japan in your company, the only problem is you are making me so hungry even if I dont know what you are eating !!!!

More snow than that here today in Northern England’s Pennines. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I like how you go straight for good food once your off the train. :-)

雪の時こそ、ひのとりは大正解の選択肢。 雪の日の新幹線は、関ヶ原付近でほぼ確実にトラブルに見舞われるから。

Thanks

In my opinion, the best train for regional services in germany is the Bombardier Twindexx Vario double deck train.

That looks like a very spacious driver cab.

Fantástico, nunca no Brasil terá um transporte desse nível, infelizmente para nós..

Beautiful train! I wrote down the name, next time I come to Japan, I'd love to take a ride :)

I'll be honest : I really can't stand cold weather and snow... Snow only looks good on a postcard or when I'm indoors sitting by a fire and drinking hot cocoa 🙂🙂🙂 but...Your video is so well-made, and the scenery so beautiful and that train ride so nice and relaxing that I'd be tempted to visit Osaka and take that same train... Very nice video indeed...

I'll be in Osaka in April. I probably won't get to ride that train but now I really want to try misokatsu teishoku!
