(Trains comin' gotta stop running can't be stuck you're falling in love)
We are packed up and we are ready to go next stop Kyoto.
Bye Princess, see ya in another life.
All right we made it through customs Megan is just on Google Maps right now
trying to figure out how to get to the correct train stations that's a
different one than last time.
We have to walk 1.2 kilometers with all these bags to a terminal that apparently has had delays
all day and we don't know why. This is the best terminal for us to go to train
terminal because it'll save us money
We're just passing through Yokohama Park and we're just outside of the baseball stadium here
and there's these beautiful tulip gardens. Absolutely amazing and never seen so many tulips on
one place before. I love it. Lots of different colors
Nicest stadium garden ever.
All right we found the train station. It's my first time taking the JR. Pretty excited for that.
We're just going from here to the bullet train and then
traveling at speeds up to 265 miles per hour... maybe kilometres.
Really fast, and yeah I think it's like a two-hour train ride to Kyoto. It's not
gonna be cheap but they say it's like the best way to do it so that's how we're doing it.
So we're the ticket station just outside the train station and we're gonna
see if we can get the bullet train to get directly from them just because it's
easier just to get it all done right away and have it figured out versus
paying for the JR right now and then getting off the next station and then
trying to figure out the bullet train. So we'll find out if we can do that here
and let you know
Receipt
Today, Yokohama Station for Kyoto Station. Please put only this in on my station. Right here?
Yes. Okay .
10:49 and 12:20 Car 49 Seat 9 C and B.
We got our tickets we're on our way to Kyoto great job Megan
All right so we just got off at Shin Yokohama
leaving the Yokohama line now we need to find our bullet train we're looking for
the Shinkansen transfer according to Meghan.
So we should have had an extra five minutes to spare but when we got on the
Yokohama line it's just stayed there for like 15 minutes and then a light came up
and it said
that they were rescuing a passenger and then it said that there was something on
the tracks
If we are going to cars three and four, is that what we're going to?
Yeah. Is it up there, or is it around here?
Up here.
Really?We just came from there I guess it does say that and there's no
elevator so up away good luck with me
this is stupid I don't know if we're gonna make it
it's like we're gonna make it guys. With a few minutes to spare.
Man, touch-and-go for a few minutes a minute
you were really nervous there for a bit weren't you.
I didn't want to have to wait in line again.
you're getting upset for a while weren't you. Yeah.
Can you not put the camera so close to my face.
It's not the GoPro shoots really wide. waited for like 15 minutes on the other
I was worried because we waited for like 15 minutes on the other
train and we only had like 10 minutes to get here. And to figure out the transfers in
some stations it can take like an hour to figure stuff out like at the Tokyo
Station. But this was pretty easy because fear not people the bullet train is not
as scary as you think.
It's just expensive.
Muchos dollars
we are on the bullet train on our way to Kyoto it is a two and a half hour train
ride and it looks like there will be no entertainment. I do not see any TVs it is
super spacious though like the amount of leg room I have here is
fantastic and the windows are huge. 20 times the size of a plane window.
and another long tunnel.
Pretty great train they actually serve food and drink on here.
you got to pay extra for it but they do have coffee, tea, all kind of snacks
You can get lunch if you're hungry.
I think we're more than half way now. We have a stop
in a few minutes. And we'll be stopping at Nagoya
For a few minutes
And then continuing on to Kyoto
so far it's been really beautiful scenery. You go through
a ton of tunnels, but yah it's been pretty beautiful.
Yeah also there's um different cars, so like at the front there's three cars which are unreserved
so you don't have a reserved seat. Where as right now we're sitting in the reserved car. So on
your ticket is says your seat number and your car number.
And apparently this one is a bit more comfortable and has a larger seat. And it's also more expensive.
Awesome we are moving and there's no one beside me so I get a window seat
and I also just noticed that there's actually a little power outlet so you
can charge a computer cell phone
it's just down by your feet.
So we're going 300KM an hour right now. I just looked it up. We're on the fastest bullet train they have.
yeah you can tell it's fast because walking up and down this thing is
definitely a challenge
It is smooth but walking it's like all the turns, it's like whoa!
Put your magazines in there. The seats go back in three different stages
which is nice so you put a little bit back medium back or you can put it all the way back.
and if there's no one in between you you can put these up and have more space
(Japanese announcement)
I'm going to see if I can find the bathroom here.
automatic. Washing your hands.
Just going to wait my turn for the bathroom.
There's two bathrooms
One.
Two.
Oh.
looks like this one's a urinal. I will not be filming the next 30
seconds
Alright, let's go get a snack I'm hungry.
So no vending machines yet
It looks like this is also a non-smoking room
So some rooms are smoking, some are not.
and I just found this little thing. If you need to hand up your jacket or something. Check this out.
You just hang it right there.
I have not found any vending machines yet but
that's ok there's a lady driving around her cart with snacks.
We're coming into Kyoto right now.
Time to get our bags.
We're in Kyoto!
And we have to take one more train to get to our guesthouse
And then we are going to go find some lunch.
everywhere you've on the subway there's lots of good signage
We're transferring to the local subway. There is however also lots of stairs
so we're in Kyoto and taking a little subway. The tickets are quite different
you actually just figure out how much to pay and buy a ticket for that amount.
So on here you can see if you're going to Penn Station the price is 950 so
you just go and buy one subway ticket and pay nine fifty and then it'll
know when you go in and go out and have the correct amount
this is the end of a trip. Oh a McDonald's I'm so hungry, can I have one
