Japan's AMAZING BULLET TRAIN! Shinkansen Green Car REVIEW + BOMB Bento Box | Tokyo to Kyoto

As a world traveler, there are several places I’ve always wanted to visit and Japan is one of them. After years of loving and appreciating the food and culture that originated in this unique Asian nation, I finally got my chance to go during the final two weeks of January 2019. The twelve days I spent traveling around the island, going on food tours, visiting iconic sites, and immersing myself in the amazing culture are twelve days I will never forget.

On my fourth morning in Japan, it was time for me to leave Tokyo. As sad as it was for me to say goodbye to this incredible, modern, futuristic, world-class city, I couldn’t wait for what was ahead: the city of Kyoto! But first I had to get there. That meant I needed to take a ride on one of Japan’s famous bullet trains, which I knew would be an adventure in itself! Come along with me as I travel from Tokyo to Kyoto on a Shinkansen bullet train!

Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains are some of the fastest trains in the world and travel at speeds up to 200 mph, which makes traveling between Japan’s biggest cities a breeze. A drive between Tokyo and Kyoto would take the better part of a day, and a flight would take several hours due to check-ins and check-outs, but on a bullet train, it’s just a little over two hours.

I recommend buying your ticket early from a station like I did rather than buying online, which is more expensive. My ticket was for a seat on the Green Car, which is like first class and cost me 19,434 Yen, or roughly $175 U.S. I also recommend asking people who work there where to go because the station is massive. My train was set to leave at 6:30 a.m., but before I left, I wanted to try my very first Bento box during the ride.

At 6 a.m., I bought a Bento box for 1,000 Yen, or roughly $10, at the Delica Station. The stores in the station sell everything from alcohol to magazines and everything in-between, so since I had some time to kill, I looked for some souvenirs!

The train itself is very nice. There are outlets where you can charge your phone, as well as free WiFi. Moist towels are passed out shortly after departure so you can clean your hands. Just remember, if you ride a bullet train, or any train in Japan for that matter, remember to be quiet and respectful of others.

As we rode toward Kyoto, I opened my sake, which was so light it tasted like water, and my Bento box, which contained a variety of sticky rice, tofu, eel, fried tempura, vegetables, seaweed, clams, and octopus. The vegetables were really nice and the octopus was really tender. The fish was delicious, as were the clams and shrimp tempura, which had been soaking in soy sauce. The sushi rice was sticky; I realized later that I was supposed to eat it with the fish.

The sticky rice with clams on top was also very good, with a really nice, dense texture. The seaweed was actually kelp, and the omelet was also fantastic. There was also a dense and delicious fish cake with soy sauce. Then, after my meal, I took a quick, 30-minute nap!

With just 45 minutes left until I arrived in Kyoto, I decided to show you guys more of the bullet train, including its sinks and really nice bathrooms. There are also receptacles for your trash and a nice space with a window where you can watch various cities and the countryside whiz by at 200 miles per hour! And for the speed at which it travels, there’s barely any noise.

Everyone should ride a bullet train in Japan at least once in their lifetime. It’s such an amazing experience, and the Green Car is such a luxurious travel experience. Everyone is really nice and friendly and I highly recommend it!

After 2 hours and 20 minutes, I arrived in Kyoto! I couldn’t wait to start my adventures there!
