Riding the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) from Kyoto to Tokyo!

Описание: Experience the ultimate Japanese rail journey! 🚄

Join me as we travel from the historic heart of Kyoto to the bustling metropolis of Tokyo on the world-famous Shinkansen. This 12-minute journey captures everything from the stunning modern architecture of Kyoto Station to the classic red-brick charm of Tokyo Station.

In this video:
Kyoto Station Prep: Exploring the futuristic station design and checking out some essential "Ekiben" (bento boxes) at 7-Eleven.
The Bullet Train Experience: We head to the platform to board the Nozomi. I’ll share some interesting trivia about the train’s incredible speeds and explain the key differences between Green Cars and Ordinary Cars.
Arrival in Tokyo: We wrap up the trip at the iconic Tokyo Station. We’ll take a look at the beautiful interior dome and the famous brown-red brick facade, which was famously modeled after Amsterdam Central Station.

A Note on the Architecture
While it is a popular and enduring belief that Tokyo Station was modeled after Amsterdam’s station, many architectural historians point out that while they share the Neo-Baroque style and red brick, the designer, Tatsuno Kingo, may have been more influenced by his studies in London. It’s a great piece of trivia to mention in your video to spark a debate in the comments!
