Ooh ok i see now thank you

Another reason is that it helps pierce the air and therefore increasing the speed

@@rabiac100 Actually it's not the best design for that. A rounded nose is better. Look at French HS trains, which are not designed for a lot of tunnels

Platypus. 🙂

He DOES NOT DESERVE IT AT ALL. HE HAS HAD NO DIFFICULTY IN LIFE. HE IS JUST WASTING OTHER PEOPLES MONEY. HOW DOES HE PAY FOR IT ALL???!! how about donate to the homeless instead of buying more things for yourself. Selfish

@@hoodyk7342 WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HIS LIFE? He has difficulties. He has struggles, anxiety, grief and so on. Just like us. He works so hard for his contents. You just watched this video which is a tiny part of his life. You absolutely know nothing about him.

@@hoodyk7342 fuck off, you don’t know shit about this dude, he works hard to give us his amazing content, so put your keyboard away and go outside, wanker

@@hoodyk7342 has to be one of the most brainless comments ive seen on youtube

At least you guys aren’t in America, trains are horrible, there are gross drunk homeless people touching everyone, and other bad things

Thank you for watching.

This is what I love about these trains over airplanes. No ridiculous security to get on board, so much more room, and of course the food. Yeah, it’s slower but I’d happily trade that to get off of a train completely relaxed. No one takes a Xanax before riding the Shinkansen.

Saaaame

@@Dia17ch I've had the fortunate ability to travel in Europe and for me the public transportation was like a dream. I'm from the US so I can only imagine what the experience of actually traveling in Japan is like.

来てちょうだい(o^^o)

Saaaaame

Please please STOP. Just say you like Japan. Why do you have be insulting to express your admiration. Have some sense of shame.

@@MayFlora I'd have shame if my english skills were no better than yours, sfb.

I'm going to use this time to save money, research, learn how to get around, and manners over seas

it would probably end up costing you more for the same trip but longer time to travel 😞

@@Hunlover123601 Standard class fare is only $205. See above/below for expanded answer.

First things first, the Hokkaido Shinkansen is the _exclusive_ method of rail travel from Tokyo to Hakodate, since Hokkaido Shinkansen operations commenced in 2016. The previous conventional train, the overnight Hokutosei service, took a staggering 11hr 32min to complete the historic journey from Ueno (Tokyo) to Hakodate. Train services from Tokyo to Hokkaido commenced in 1988 with the opening of the Seikan tunnel. It is expected that the final extension of the shinkansen to the Hokkaido capital of Sapporo, which is under construction, will be completed by 2031.

The Tokyo to Hakodate Station trip using the shinkansen and the Hakodate Liner local trains takes a total of 4hr 26min. The most affordable standard class fare is USD $205. Again, the first class Gran Class costs $341. Needless to say, as Gran Class and Standard class passengers are travelling on the same shinkansen, the travel time is identical. Yes, the plane flight is faster, which is only 1hr 20min, with the cost only being $127. The airport is only 7km east of the station, with the bus trip only being 20 minutes.

However, significant additional time and effort is required for transport to Haneda Airport then checking into the airport. It is not uncommon for Tokyoites to use a Haneda airport hotel the previous night of departure as the commute to the airport is too arduous, even if the distance from home to the airport is less than 20km, which would take more than one hour. The airport hotel would cost $70 for the night. So, the total hotel and plane cost is now $197. Hiring a car and driving up to Hakodate, then returning with the same car to Tokyo, is a 24 hour, 1732km return proposition which also requires hotel stays and ferry rides. This option is just not feasible for most. I do not even care to do the sum of all of these damn costs.
