Fun fact: the Shinkansen is a train ๐
felt like travelling in the future honestly
This one is business class.
Gran class is first class only on certain lines and trains; you can have it on the Tokyo to Hakodate one.โค

I donโt get the hype, itโs just a train
technically yes, but somehow Japan made โjust a trainโ feel iconic lol

Me parecen muy incรณmodos los accesos y me da la sensaciรณn de que no hay un servicio de ayuda.
ยฟ No hay restaurante o cafeterรญa en el tren?

Nearly airborne with excitement! ๐ The culinary masterpiece had me drooling like a cartoon character. ๐ Major kudos ๐ for this epic share! Your stunning better half could grace magazine covers. ๐ธ I'm in awe of the blood, sweat, and probably caffeine-fueled moments behind these video adventures. ๐ฅ You're basically content creation royalty – keep ruling! ๐
Magnificent showing of first-class on a bullet train in Japan โจ๐๐พ
