2 Day Cherry Blossom Trip on Japan’s Overnight First-Class Capsule Bus 🌸| Tokyo – Nara 🇯🇵
Today, I’m riding Japan’s sought after overnight buses, the Dream Sleeper, from Shinjuku in Tokyo to Nara.
With only 11 seats in total, this feels less like a bus and more like a private room on wheels.
After taking off your shoes before boarding, you settle into a surprisingly comfortable space equipped with a reclining seat, personal lighting, and even an air purifier for a 9-hour, 600-kilometer overnight journey.
After arriving, it’s time to explore Nara during cherry blossom season.
From Kasuga Taisha Shrine and Mount Wakakusa to Todaiji Temple, and of course the famous deer of Nara Park, this trip had everything.
Though when it came to the deer showdown… let’s just say they were completely in charge.

Stop teasing the deer and give it the snack already, dammit!!!
Thank you for the laughter, Solo-Solo San. For eating the instant noodle, conquering the deers, rebirth in live etc. One of funniest video you ever produced. Be happy and prosperous always.
Such a great time! So glad to get double the fun with a Solo Solo and a Slow Slow so close together!
奈良の大仏様に、中学の修学旅行時以来、ひっさしぶりに会えました（笑）
そして、、積極的な鹿に孟攻勢かけられている様に、大笑いしました
厳島神社の鹿も、結構寄ってきて、ちょっと怖い思いをした事がありますので、気持ちは分かる（笑）
鹿と鳥居と桜の風景は、とっても風情があって素晴らしいショットでした❤
個室バスも、善いですね
洗面所もあって、歯と歯茎を衛生的に保てる
御苦労さまでした❗❗
Stop teasing the deer.
鹿をおびき寄せる為に鹿せんべいを手に持って延々あげない行為が大変不快なのでチャンネル登録解除しました。
ずっと見ていたのに、こんな汚い人間と思っていなくてショックです。
You should blurry the deer,they has privacy and personal life too😂
Black 🖤 T, This is your in my Diary, I am Know your many years, and your Bus Train of Travel and present time long Traveling, 1 kiss for your love Travel, S
Sumpah nih orang kocak banget😂
Thanks for the video. We have a lot of deers here (causing road accidents. I even had some on my porch several times despite being in the middle of a city) but no cherry trees as it is too cold 🙁 We still have snow patches on the ground.
Haha! I loved feeding the deer at Nara. My Mom wasn’t thrilled, and because of that, they kept going to her. After all of these years, I still have my great blessing fortune from Todaiji temple. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
收音太好還是會一直聽到藤壺的聲音
Nokotan would be proud ^^
SUPERB PLACES
Wonderful, thank you for the cherry blossom 👏😊
Bro Expedition Ship Tour Please ❤❤❤❤🥺
You didn't conquer the deer, but you attained enlightenment, so there's that!
J'apprécie toutes vos vidéos, et celle-ci est vraiment bien. Bravo pour votre humour, qui m'a bien fait rire. Bonne continuation et Merci à vous.🥰
