Oh I love snow aswell, watching the snowflakes dancing in the shine of streetlights. And the feeling of when you're on public transport, it is cold outside and late evening, you are just tired leaning your head against the window and stare out into the snowy night, longing for your bed with the monotonous noise of the vehicle moving (good here you are basically in bed already and can snuggle up staring into the snowy night till the world gets blurry in front of your eyes...). Love it! Your morning impressions on the train (view to the snowy outside reminds me to back in the day when I did my apprenticeship and had to go to class by train 50 kilometres away. The crisp cold outside and the bright snow and in the inside the heat was on and it was nice and toasty, you almost didn't wanna leave the train again...

Thanks Kuga .. this vlog had it all. Wonderful scenery both night and daytime. Real train sounds that let you know you are on a train and the peace and tranquility of your cabin. Your choice of food snacks was amazing .. things we never see. I truly love your expressions of quirky things you say in the vlogs .. just like I hear here. We have many overnight sleeper trains here in Oz some go 1000s of klms. Don't stop making these interesting journey vlogs they are so entertaining. Bushyboy Oz.

There's a good channel, Rory Ding Travels, for the Aussie ones. Though unlike Kuga's channel vids he narrates in his ones whereas I prefer ones like Kugas travels with subtitling rather than voice narration. However the videos themselves are like Kuga's, well done and professional.

Undoubtedly awesome! As a rail fan and photographer, I could relate well to the excitement that this journey takes you through. An overnight journey on a train in sleeper class is pure bliss. More so, when you've got to see the snowy landscape in the night. And I completely agree, even ordinary foods taste delicious in sleeper class coaches. I experience it every time. What I enjoyed the most was the empty, neat and clean platforms and station arenas. Looking ahead for more train videos from you.

Aww it never told me it was live, unless I was asleep at the time. Thankyou for sharing this. Very beautiful snowy scenery 🥰 My cat has changed the video half way through, I was watching one snowy day journey and then i looked away for a second and your in a different cabin on a different route. I'll have to watch them both again now. Your Shinkansen journey just popped up so will do that one next, it's a rainy day in England, so nice to spend it with you, touring Japan on trains. Have you been on a monorail yet? I kinda have a monorail obsession at the minute.

well your not alone as here in the UK there is only 2 different companies that operates one sleeper per night and they are The Riviera Night Sleeper which is English and runs from London Paddington to Penzance, and the other is a Scottish sleeper called Caledonian night sleeper and runs from London Euston to the far reaches of Scotland, including Fort William
