Japanese First Class Train Tour and Experience. Today, I’m riding the Saphir Odoriko Japanese Luxury Train inside of their 6 seater private room from Tokyo to Izukyu-Shimoda, a go-to vacation destination for many Tokyo residents. It’s a unique train which offers premium seats with a view, in-train restaurant, and a whole lot more, which I’m going breakdown for you in this video. Saphir Odoriko is a limited express train service in Japan operated by the East Japan Railway Company, Central Japan Railway Company, Izukyu Corporation, and Izuhakone Railway. Saphir is currently quite popular, so I recommend booking the tickets in advance, especially for the private room or premium seats. For the 6 seater private room, I had to book 3 weeks in advance. This train has 2x 6-seater private rooms and 2x 4-seater private rooms and one car that is all premium green seats. This Japanese first-class train has its own restaurant, with its own menu of the perfect blend of delicate Japanese sensibilities and Italian gastronomical skill with local seasonal ingredients.

  1. Dammm 😅 me sick leave in India so we can't get this type of rates as well as the cleanliness is very nice means I just feel like why Indian railways not idolizing Japan because we also have one of the biggest railway and we should try to take care of it by the way I love you are videos I just hope that I should be able to come in your country 😊😊

  2. If you’re planning on traveling to Japan, this express train will be a great travel
    It’s the only train with all green cars which is like a airplane with all business class seats

  3. When I sit here comparing this to what we have in germany… we are as far off as stoneage man. I am really laughing.

  4. Train travel is so much fun. Taking Amtrak into NYC, they'd change from diesel to electric locomotives before entering the city. Love all your videos!

  5. Cool video! Would love to see a day in a life of a train chef🧑🏽‍🍳🚄

  6. What Riding a Private Room Luxury Train in Japan is Like. The video is engaging and grips the viewer from start to finish. Watched the video on May 28, 2023 very like. Thank you

  7. Can you do a Day in the life of a hairstylist? As a hairstylist as myself I'm curious as to what they do differently in your country 😁🙏🙏

  8. I’m just curious and have always wondered … will you ever take Maiko and Wolfy to visit family in the US? I would love to see Maikos reaction to it especially! I love your videos and I cannot wait for my first trip to Japan in 2024. ❤

  9. Paolo would you ever consider making a video about a day in the life of a Zen Master. I have always been fascinated by them and am sure that there are more people who would love it. There is not one video about monks, it would be cool to see this sode of Japan.

  10. The train I daydream about trying in Japan is the Sunrise Express c’: the luxury rooms in that look amazing, a bed in your own room by a massive window, and access to showers

  11. "And my go-to favorite in a pinch… the toilet!" 🤣😂 Paolo's humor never ceases to amuse me!!
