$21 TOKYO to OSAKA by Local Train (11Hour Journey)

I traveled 11 hours from Tokyo to Osaka for $21 on the Local Train. I used the Seishun 18 ticket, a 1 day holiday pass that gives unlimited access to all JR local trains.

Fee: 2410JPY/21USD
Route: Tokyo - Hamamatsu - Kyoto - Osaka (JR Namba)
Train: Local Train (Specific names to be updated)
Seat: Box, Long, 2 + 2
Experience: For what it’s worth, it’s definitely cheap!

I'm only a lurker, so I comment occasionally on channels that I really like, but this is the funniest travel channel on youtube. I love it!

i have watched many travel vlogs on yt. But, this is THE BEST in 2021 for overall presentation. It has humor, suspense and thriller. Its THE BEST 32 mins worth watching. For real.

Thank you for packing your 11 hr journey into this 30 minutes clips that filled with humors and glimpse of Japan that we often don't see when we are tourists. This is why I keep coming back to your videos ;)

I’ve done this route before. The ends at east and west have rapid trains, so they aren’t too bad as long as you can secure a seat, but the rural bits, particularly the long stretch in Shizuoka with multiple transfers and the Shinkansen passing by every few minutes to taunt those taking the slow route, can be punishing both physically and mentally.

PSA for those looking to try:
Pack minimal luggage, or use delivery services. Local trains are mostly for transit, not for long distance travel. As such, travelling facility will be limited.

Your English captions are great. I am always thrown off by your sense of humor and it makes me laugh. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

Tokyo station building is so beautiful. It always makes happy to see a shot of it.

I used to use this ticket when I was a student in Kyoto for traveling across Japan, from Kyoto to the north most Hokkaido in winter and the south most Fukuoka in summer. For me, it's a cheap wondrous journey ticket. After all, it's all about journey not destination.😊

For a moment, I thought you were going to use the baby changing station in the bathroom to eat your ekiben.

This is great for foreign travelers who have a JR Pass. A different way to spend a day in Japan during your travels. I'll keep this in mind, thanks for this!

[aprillinder]

I absolutely adore your videos! I have always been fascinated with Japan. I feel like I have visited with each of your videos! Thank you!
