Awesome John.

Thumbnail says Traveing Japan hehe
Train is propably faster than plane. How many hours do you have to be in airport for the check in?
Amazing 😻
Interesting premiere , Toby won lol😎🤫Thank you John 🙂👍!!!
missed live got message it'd be live 10:00am est was over I'll watch replay love the trains my grandfather was one of the first workers on the Boston Subway system in 1898 was just 18 after returning home from Spanish American war. when he retired he was 72 over 50+ years on the job n now I'm retired from Boston transit system buses and train and I turn 72 on March 14th.
Nice video sir. I have never flown domestically in Japan. I should look into it more.
👍😀
Hi John. This airport is cool! Love how small and quaint it is. And omg! Haven't heard the name Momotaro in decades. I read that story when I was in elementary school. Very nostalgic for me. Always love when you're visiting cool new places. Thank you for sharing this. Me personally, I'd still probably take the Shinkansen because I really enjoy riding on them. 😀
It depends on which is more convenient at the time…
Oh I'll take the Shinkansen any day of the week
much much convenient and comfortable
That's the airport I use when visiting my son and family in Kamogata. Not 24 hours which can be tricky if trying to get the link bus into Okayama. Miss it and you're on a taxi.
What is your camera setup? The picture in picture is cool!
we missed you
They allow water bottles through security? I can't tell you how many times I've had to chug a bottle of water before flying.
Hi John amazing mind blown 🤯
I remember that book about the Peach boy. My American mother read that to me when I was little. I was adopted and still remember that book. I hope to go visit the City once I do come back to Japan John. Stay Safe over there in Japan
Next best thing to being there. Thanks for taking us along for the ride…. always dreaming of my return one day and tagging along with my son who is in the Yamagata region as we speak. Stay warm.
Big fan of driving you just get to see so much more. thanks for the share! stay awesome !
Dude don't do this again. So anxious thinking you're about to miss that flight. Forget the curry man!
Hi John, the best way to make a comparison between airline and train travel to a destination is to calculate from your door to your destination. I doubt when you add all the time from your home to your destination wouldn't be much different in this case especially if you include traveling from the airport to downtown Okayama.
I always take the Shinkansen when traveling distance within JP. No better way to travel.
Thank you for sharing ❤
Cool! Thanks for sharing it ✌️
When my family flew back from Kurashiki we took the bus (IIRC it was 250 yen) to Okayama Airport, which then flew to Haneda, then to Osaka Kansai before finally to LAX. Okayama claims that Momotaro was born there that's why there's Momotaro everywhere. When we left Tokyo to Okayama we took the shinkansen because we were staying at the ANA hotel next to the hotel. Plus we had the rail pass so we used that.
Nice video, John. It's a tough call which is better, but Japan certainly makes getting around easy for us! See you soon for another adventure 😁
I like trains better. Becuase i get a lot of stres from airplanes. And every thing around it.
they say high speed railways like the Shinkansen are best suited for routes which are "too long to drive and too short to fly"…..these routes are those which takes less than two hours by flying and at least five hours by driving….I think the Tokyo-Okayama route falls in this category…..so for me it's better to take the Shinkansen on this route.
thank you John
Great video! Loved it♥💝
