Crowded? End of Year Shinkansen Trip from Osaka to Tokyo, Shin-Osaka Restaurant Oyakodon Ep.453

Crowded? End of Year Shinkansen Trip from Osaka to Tokyo, Shin-Osaka Restaurant Oyakodon Ep.453

Hey guys today we are in Osaka number station heading back to Tokyo by shinkansen oh my goodness today it’s super windy the temperature is 10 de so it’s not that bad however the wind 4 m per second I think it should be more it’s the end of the year winter break is

Already started there are so many locals in the town noomi is one of the busiest shinkansen and it’s the end of the year so I’m not sure how shinkansen crowd it will be but hopefully it’s not that bad though even it might be super crowded I

Want to save money so let’s go to check the discounted ticket store if you are visiting Japan and not buying the JR Rail Pass but you are using the shasan this will be the saving money tips so just remember in front of number station there’s a discounted ticket store let me see they

Always change the rate seems like today’s rate 12,750 Japanese Y which is more than 1,000 Japanese cheaper than regular ticket why not let’s get warning do they have one here we can buy it at the vending machine oh seems like it’s 13,000 Japanese y so it’s a bit expensive however still cheaper one

Thing you have to be careful is that you need to use the cash they can’t use the credit card so you need to bring the cash so this is the one we save 870 Japanese already and here we go this is the ticket it’s non resered ticket we could

Save quick 870 Japanese Y which is a lot however there is one thing that you have to do and it might take time let’s see how long it will take time today though before leaving number station since we are here let’s check the atmosphere of winter break of number station by the

Way there are several discounted ticket store in front of number station maybe other place could be cheaper I should have check it but usually price is similar though let me see oh really discounted ticket store 400 Japanese and cheaper how about the other place this one is also the discounted ticket

Store this discounted ticket store 290 Japanese yet more expensive no usually they don’t have the price difference so that’s why this time I got the ticket over there immediately but since it’s super close I should have check other places too so if you are visiting here make sure to check three

Different kinds of stores because it’s close to each other and you can get from the cheapest place well but maybe that price is different remember we see the price in front of the store and the vending machine was different right so not sure if you ask there then probably

You can get the answer but usually they have the similar price range now so let’s keep walking and check the atmosphere of the town I bet there is a long line in front of 551 harai which is the Japanese Chinese restaurants oh actually not that bad at

All the last time when I came here on the Christmas Day the line was until all the way down but today it’s just until there yeah not bad at all they are both one is really popular for local only you can buy it in Osaka also there are many

Bento too yummy let’s keep walking toward to abashi Bridge and do food street by the way if you are in Japan and walking in the crowd try to walk on the left side yeah usually people walk on the left so if you walk on the left side

You can walk easily around this season there are fewer travelers from European country but there are more travelers from Asian countries probably you can’t realize which ones are Travelers and which ones are locals however for locals you know we can’t sense it though anyways we are almost at theor Food

Street here we go we are at Dori eashi Bridge it’s the most popular picture spot in Osaka G Running Man and the huge display of DOI seems like people are having fun sweet you see the poses everyone taking yeah that’s how you can take photo in front of the Greek running

Man how about dobor food street it’s just over there lunchtime is already over so I believe it shouldn’t be that crowded but since it’s the end of the year let’s see yeah as I expected it’s much better today we are planning to eat in Shin Osaka station we will explore the shinkansen station

Restaurants so we don’t eat it here but it’s small fun place to eat if you don’t like to be in line definitely this is not the place to eat though yep still in front of takoyaki restaurants there are long lines so just remember if you are visiting

Doore in the ear end even not in the lunchtime you will experience this much of crowd well still much better compared to the weekend though so now let’s go back to number station to simay Street compared to September and October I’m hearing many Japanese language here

So there are more locals in the do food Street too icha market and the do food streets are similar however a little bit different chomon icha Market is really popular for travelers but not that much for locals however do food Street it is popular for travelers but also it is popular for

Local Japanese too so I think that’s the biggest difference well there are many reasons why but I think biggest reason is the place and the price the do food street is really convenient place between namb station to shin station also thinking about the price yeah Chom Market is like you know European

Standard price for locals but do food street it’s like the price for the trouble spot price yeah either of them yeah it’s more expensive compared to the local restaurants but still do food Street slightly better now we are at s Pinko stre if you are going to to the Tokyo

Metro number station you don’t have to go back to the number station you can just enter this gate in front of Simi Street and walk through number walk underground street is much warmer too so if you are visting here in the winter maybe you want to walk here

Number walks if you keep straight this way you can get to the Nashi station and if you keep straight this way you can arrive to the number station both of them are Osaka Metro if you are using the kintu Osaka number station this is also the way to get there

Too there are many small shops here and also uni too however there are so many unique crow in number station and this place relatively smaller oh here they are having the New Year event seems like in January second they have the Japanese calligraphy event here Japanese calligraphy in Japanese called shodo Sho

We all learn in elementary school yes when I was an elementary school student I have learned the Japanese calligraphy sh too but I wasn’t really good at it I think I should have learned more yeah but yeah maybe I can learn it from now you know never too late to start something

New but maybe in the future though yeah anyways let’s keep walking here small Japanese lesson time New Year called so people are getting ready for the now oh that’s M Restaurant looks so good amuru and a PO CET Hamburg steak no no no no no we are eating in

Shing oaka there are many nice restaurant in Shin oaka too so let’s eat there when you arrive to the intersection middle lines entrance is just over there by the way there are many different kinds of line in number station but it’s not bad as the Osaka station so probably you can find the

Place where it is well maybe because I grew up here in station so I feel like that but I believe it’s not about as the Osaka station how do you think if you visit both n station and Osaka station please let me know in the comment which one is complicated more anyways let’s

Take the Osaka Subway middle line going to Shin Osaka station where you can take the shinkansen the red one is the middle suine let’s go from namb station to Shin oaka station it’s seven stations away so it takes about 15 to 20 minutes it’s not that bad

Though seems like it’s not that crowded in the number station so maybe in the shinin station it’s not that clouded n hopefully let’s See oh I just realized this one is for um only barding train so we need to use this one over here after the Osaka station in the train it became much fewer people sweet we arrived to sha station one thing you have to be careful is that

In a big city we have the woman’s only train since it’s super crowded so if you are being line in front of the train or riding on the train you got to be careful usually there is a big sign like this so probably you can realize but if

You are super tired or you didn’t pay attention I know that you can’t realize it here right on people will look at you with the super weird eyes so you got be careful technically it’s not decided bu the law but everyone is following that so please follow too anyways so let’s

Take the sh concern so this is the way to go you can just follow the sign ah seems like shinos Saka station is crowded well it’s supposed to be though because it’s the end of the Year by the way from number station to Shaka station it cost 290

Japanese let’s keep walking so this is how the Shaka station looks like there’s McDonald’s svenia shop also Mr Donuts one of the really good donuts shop in Japan and also the station Bento shop they have so many different kinds of Bento here so if you’re looking for the Bento

This is the place that you want to come but we are looking for the restaurant restaurant it’s over there that’s ton cats kyk shop it’s popular chain tonat restaurant but it seems like they only have Bento it’s takasa one of the most popular takoyaki restaurant here

Bak place NE kimod looks good but you can find this restaurant in Tokyo too let me see what else we have it’s the pork steak price smells really good from here that’s cat carry shop oh my goodness look at those Omar with curry this e fry no sir looking pretty good

Too okay so this is option number one and that’s a so restaurant but uh today I don’t feel like I want to eat this oh that’s Yak Nik place they have a lunch menu too looks good and it seems like this is the udong and the SAA restaurant too oh

This oong looks pretty good too H let me see it’s the ramen shop and that’s gatu yeah this is the one I was talking about there are many restaurants with the GU KATU it’s better than the tempura beef remember the last time we eat in the Kyoto Restaurant

Yeah if you never try baby you can try this C cats faster it’s the Goon popular Japanese spaghetti the pasta restaurant oh alsoi it’s the rice restaurant but seems like in inside the restaurant it’s crowded so I don’t think I can film inside yeah this restaurant they have receiving the award for

Oong looks pretty good too why not let’s eat oong today so the menu items are really simple they have the Oak and so cutlet oh and they have the curry UD too Curry UD if you love curry it’s pretty good if if you never try make sure to try in Japan especially

If you love curry oh they have the set menu items o goes with the so with the dark me why not let’s order this one right here well I kind of worry that we would have the hard time to find a restaurant to eat in shinga station because it will

Be super crowded but seems like I think it’s okay still huh Sweet all right here we goes oh my goodness smells so good let’s Eat the taste is a little bit sweet the tender chicken with egg perfectly Matches can you take a guess what the oo means yes it means parents and the kids they use the chicken and egg that’s why call it o meaning parent and the kids both well you know I was going the W in Japan and then before I was thinking

About the meaning I learned this is so I don’t feel nothing weird but now I think about a meaning yeah it’s a little bit weird but as long as it tastes good I don’t Mind also the set menus comes with the ud with that on here there are many green Onions M the duck meat compared to the chicken it’s a little bit chewy but there are nice fat really good with UD and green onion really gentle taste nice DCH flavor so in Japanese we call two different way of duck the one duck the white one is airu and then the other one

The dark one called C come on and this is the darker one so it’s come on well usually in Japan we don’t eat the white duck which is the ahu but we love to eat this darker dck which is the C until I learned the English I didn’t know that

You know the C is Du and also the airu is Du because I thought the DU is airu which usually we don’t need but uh yeah now I realize this one is a duck as well very interesting you know since some duck we eat and there’s other duck we don’t eat

So I believe for Japanese if we hear that airu and are same translation which is duck probably most of Japanese will surprise yeah because for us those two ducks are totally different yeah oh that was pretty good the price was 1,600 Japanese yeah thinking about

The cing I Lov it oh there is a new gacha place all of them cost 500 Japanese so that’s a fancy gacha huh compared to the regular G phone yeah it’s taller so probably the Gap phone goes all the way down until here so it’s more entertaining let me see if we have

Something special here yeah that’s something new here Matsui food Stone and it goes lighted up yeah that sounds interesting price is 300 Japanese y they have the takoyaki store too also nose light if you pull this one the light will on I don’t need it because it’s not that cute but it is

Interesting the NAT Gap if someone don’t like Nat this will be the perfect excuse me sorry this will be the worst for them huh and somehow we got the Vietnam gon too we can enjoy the Vietnam here oh this one is cool it’s a street fighter one it turns so this

Tat turn and the Shu K will turn too interesting and the small icha if you are the winner you can get the ichan table all right that’s enough let’s go to take the shinkansen the shinkansen entrance is just upstairs hopefully it’s not that crowded though if the Shinken is super crowded

Probably will better reserve the suit but uh it takes extra 1,000 Japanese Y and here’s the trick if you get the discounted ticket stores shinkansen ticket you need to change the date at the counter so that means you have to wait in line that’s one of the bad part

Of using the discounted ticket storage ticket but seems like today it’s not bad at all he says takes about 10 minutes let’s time if it’s l a 10 minutes I think it worth it because you know we could save 800 something Japanese but if takes longer than 20 minutes

Probably we better use the regular ticket we will see there are so many counters are opening so I believe it wouldn’t take that long time sweet so all together it takes only less than 10 minutes yeah thinking about we only took less than 10 minutes 800

Japanese y yeah I think that’s a pretty good way to save money so I recommend it so let’s take shinkansen is a travel Thief going to Tokyo from Osaka without reserving the seed there are many trains leaving from many places however if you see that 200 and 400 numbers those are

Leaving from Osaka Osaka the starting train so if you want to take the seat this 400 and 200 number Shen would be the easiest one usually there are many trains but it seems like next one is from 4507 oh we got wait if you are taking

The no ma Shin G from Tokyo all of them are the starting train from Tokyo Station however some train is starting from kushu or Hiroshima so if you want to take the non reserved sh from Osaka you got to be careful well right now it’s

418 so it’s about 40 minutes we got wait seems like it’s not that crowded so probably we can take a seat how do you think should I wait by the way in Shaka station if you want to go to comini there’s a big 7eleven here

And also depend shop too if you want to eat something in the train you can just get the stuff from here oh interesting they have the pambar West Japan limited one also next to the 71 if you got extra time there is a place to take a

Rest so you can kill the time here here there is the 551 haai and also Rick Rose cheese cake yep Osaka has really popular souvenirs oh my goodness Osaka Expos mascot do cookie interesting it’s the Osaka suben the socks it says Kusa meaning smelly Anda meaning it’s not smelly in oaka

Accent interesting that sounds like Osaka and the small takoyaki snack 500 Japanese in oh this one is cuter the peanuts inside we got the cushy Kat as well you know what since it’s almost 4:30 so let’s wait for the starting train there we go so the train is leaving from truck number

27 let’s go to truck number 27 by the way if you have big luggage like that you need to make a reservation if you don’t make the reservation they will charge the extra fee so you got to be careful so the train is leaving from truck number

27 should be there yeah this is the one our noomi is next next one non-reserved seed always it’s part from number one to three so we got to go front so let’s see if the station is crowded or not oh you know what actually it’s not bad at all

Huh yeah probably even the next one we can take the seed by the way look at the sky that’s beautiful sunset time sweet some people are wondering why even they have the reserve the SE making line in front of the station I think that’s a really good question yes

They are reserving the seed they have the seed already however yeah maybe they want to be in the shinkansen as fast as possible so that’s why they are making line but yes that’s right they don’t have to be in line because they already reserve the se but uh I think that’s one

Of the tradition many people makes line even they have the reserve SE that’s how it works in the shin but again you don’t have to be in line if you reserve the SE so just remember so yeah we arrive to part number one it arrived if this sh was not

Crowded I will ride on this let’s see if we can find a window seat okay seems like there are many empty seed probably we can’t ride this one all right here we go so we got window seed I thought it would be super crowded but seem like still there are

Many empty seed even this one is coming from fuka sweet so let’s go to Tokyo so this time we got the SE letter A but if you want to see the M Fuji take the seat at letter e my original plan was try to take a seat at letter e

However you know since it’s already 4:30 and when we arrive to the Mount Fuji probably outside it’s already pretty dark so anyways we can find the m fui so I guess later also that’s F seems like today’s sunset time is 4:50 the sunset time used be 4:30 so it will

Be longer and longer until the summer and around the summer time the sunset time become 7:30 yeah I think we need a Sumer time I mean daylight saving time in Japan too well but already we got used to it with this weird time though now arrived to Kyoto station we

Just arrived to Kyoto station and the letter e is open now sweet so it’s 454 we are in Kyoto station if we take the starting train from Osaka we are still in the Osaka station it’s really fast it’s 510 outside getting darker and it became 520 now outside became totally dark

Already wow it’s really beautiful moon loving it now we arrive to Shin Yokohama station Finally we arrived to Tokyo station sweet oh interesting that’s a new vending machines seems like they have the C cafe latte and shink special brand it cost 350 Japanese year wow thinking about it’s vending machine that’s expensive huh that’s something new oh Hayabusa there the green one going to the north part of

Japan and this white one going to the West part of Japan yeah that’s the difference from Osaka to Tokyo by shans and noomi it only takes 2 hours and 30 minutes it’s pretty fast so let’s go to check up the Tokyo Station well I thought the Sha will be

More crowded but seems like it’s not at all huh maybe it’s because of December 26 however from December 28th which is two days from now if you want to ride on the noi all of the Shinken will be the reserved seat so if you don’t have the reserved seat that means surely you

Cannot take the SE well before I was starting the YouTube I was a Solon working in Tokyo whenever you know the New Year comes I go back to Osaka and whenever I use the shinan the end of the year and also the New Year there are

Just so many people oh because there are so many people even we couldn’t enter platform so it took like 30 minutes to enter the platform and also we had to wait for the non resered seat and if you want to Res the seat you have to take it

From long time ago yeah that’s how it was but probably this year will be different because you know people knows that if you want to ride on the noomi you need to make the reservation so maybe they are using the different one I believe all right now let’s go to check the Tokyo

Station he it’s end of the year Tokyo Station should be very crowded after you get out from that gate now we Jr Tokyo Station the shinkansen station and the Jr Tokyo stations are different well it’s in the same place but technically it’s different if you are heading to the different city by Jr

You can directly take the train from here let’s go to check the ice area recently the Jr change the shape of this gate now it kind of like cool shape yes McDonald is there and yeah finally we are here yes if you are the reg viewer of my

Channel you know where we are heading to our hidden spot yep finally we’re in Tokyo beautiful place seems like it’s not that many people here how about the street and the grand maybe this place it’s too cold to stay here by the way those are all highway night buses many people going back to their Hometown for for the new year yep even

It’s super crowded and the Tokyo Station this place always much fewer people I love this place we are heading to the AA restaurant street now we are in y now it’s dinner time but seems like not that crowded huh there are many restaurants here but usually Travelers don’t come until

Here maybe that’s why now let’s go to check the Tokyo ichibangai restaurant street can you take a guess what kind of store it is yes it is a massage stand you can receive massage from 10 minutes so if you just want to have the quick massage you don’t have to make the reservation

You can just receive the massage for 10 minutes 1,100 Japanese year well you know many Japanese Sol mon are busy so 10 minutes quick massage with cheaper price yeah it gets really popular now Christmas is already over but still there’s a Santa Clos I had nice Christmas time with my

Family but this year I didn’t have chance to eat the Christmas cake so no cake for this year next year I want toat the nice cake in the Christmas now we came to the Tokyo ichibangai restaurant Street this is the cros curant street near Tokyo Station and also Jr Tokyo Station now we

Are heading to the Tokyo Station signature spot maroi exit oh really look at this car restaurant you can eat the well it’s a simple curry but you can eat the curry with 580 Japanese Y in Tokyo Station wow maybe because of the time seems like most of the coin lockers are

Available yeah so many green ones here we go finally yes we are at Tokyo maroja Station that’s beautiful I really love the night view of Tokyo Station yeah whenever I see this view of maroi station I feel like oh I came back to Tokyo you know since I Was Born to

Race Ina whenever I go back to Osaka I feel like you know oh it’s time to relax and whenever I came back to Tokyo I feel like oh it’s time to challenge myself yes so our challenge will start again do you guys remember there’s a huge Christmas tree

In kit the building which is over there I’m wondering if there is still the Christmas tree there we still find the Santa Claus so we might find the Christmas tree let’s see how do you guys [Laughter] think no more Christmas Tre uh you know I love Christmas so

Feeling a little bit sad it’s still 8:00 p.m. used to be there are so many people sitting here maybe because of few Travelers or maybe because outside gets super cold there are really few people here all right finally we came back to Tokyo this will be my last edited video of

2023 probably we will have the countdown live but no more edited videos in 2023 we could try so many new things yes finally we could visit the Hokkaido snow festival and also here is the big one yes Mount Hui challenge yes still now I feel like we made it I am super happy
