AMAZING Bento Box on the BULLET TRAIN + Shinkansen Green Car REVIEW | Osaka to Tokyo

Описание: After I had the pleasure of spending twelve incredible days in Japan in January of 2019, I believe everyone should visit this country at least once in their life. It is a beautiful, magnificent country with some of the best food on the planet, a culture that is simply out of this world, lots of kind and courteous people, and a history I couldn’t wait to learn more about. I’m thrilled that I get to share my Japanese adventures with you guys!

After two days in Osaka, my time in the city was already at an end. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had to move on to the next phase of my Japanese adventure, and to do that, I had to get back to Tokyo. The best and most efficient way to get from Osaka to Tokyo is to take the Shinkansen Bullet Train, which travels at speeds up to 200 miles per hour and makes what could be a day-long car ride a short, 2.5 hour journey.

I would be riding in the first class Green Car, which is a bit pricier at 19,230 Yen/$173.82 U.S., but it would be worth it, as I had an assigned seat, access to WiFi, a place to store my bags, a place to charge my batteries, and access to a nice bathroom. It’s also less crowded, so I’d get a window seat and just get to recline and chill on the way to Tokyo.

Before I left, I needed to get some food to eat on the train ride, so I did as the locals do and went in search of a Bento Box at Shin-Osaka Station. Japanese trains stations are so big and busy, and have so many stores, shops, and restaurants in them that they’re practically shopping malls!

After finding out where my platform was, I bought a Bento Box with fish for 1,100 Yen/$9.94 U.S. With only 20 minutes left before my train left, I had to speed through the maze-like corridors of the station to get to my platform in time! Luckily, I found it with some time to spare after asking for directions.

These trains are incredible! Not only are they super fast and silent, they’re also extremely comfortable! There’s lots of leg room and they even provide blankets. I took a seat away from everyone else so I could talk to the camera without disturbing anyone; according to Japanese etiquette, you have to stay as quiet as possible on public transportation.

I found out I was on an earlier train than the one my ticket was for, but it was fine. I’d get to Tokyo ten minutes earlier than expected!

As is the case nearly everywhere in Japan, I was given a hand towel to wipe my hands. After just 15 minutes, we arrived in Kyoto. I changed my seat after a passenger sat in front of me so I wouldn’t disturb him as I showed you guys my Bento Box. It had a picture of Osaka Castle on the outside and contained eel, fish, pickled ginger, rice, vegetables, and more!

The eel was nice and tender without being too chewy and the fish went really well with the sticky rice, which was fantastic and had a flaky crust on top, which I think was bonito flakes.

There was also some dense and tasty mushrooms that had been marinated in soy sauce and a radish with really intense flavor. The eel was out of this world. I was surprised the Bento Box didn’t come with soy sauce or wasabi, but it was still amazing.

When you ride the bullet train, you can also order drinks, including coffee, sake, and beer, from the cart that’s pushed up and down the aisles.

With 90 minutes to go and a stop at Nagoya coming up, I give you a quick tour of the bathroom between cars 7 and 8 and the private smoking room, which contains a sink so you can wash your hands afterward. There’s also a trash receptacle, where I threw away the remains of my Bento Box.

As the ride continued, I took a brief nap but woke up in time to get a sweet view of Mount Fuji out the window. It’s so beautiful! My adventures over the next few days would take me to the area around the mountain and I couldn’t wait!

After arriving at Tokyo Station, I requested a black car Uber, which is super expensive in Tokyo, but I had so many bags, it was the only way to travel to my hotel. It cost me $41 for a 25-minute ride. I had to wait a few hours before I could check in, so I explored for a bit until then.

I hope you enjoyed my Shinkansen Green Car review and Bento Box experience! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, leave me a comment, and subscribe to my channel!
