Welcome to my channel – your guide to trains, tickets, and travel in Japan!

I’ve been passionate about trains since childhood and spent many years working in the travel industry.
Now I use that experience to help international visitors enjoy Japan with ease, comfort, and confidence.

On this channel, I share practical and up-to-date information about:

How to ride Japan’s trains

Discount tickets and travel passes

Access to tourist spots across the country

Local train lines, scenic routes, and travel tips

Whether you're heading to Tokyo, Kyoto, or exploring lesser-known regions,
you’ll find helpful guides to plan your trip more smoothly.

I also run a Japanese-language channel, 鐵坊主チャンネル (@tetsu-bozu), with over 100,000 subscribers,
recognized for deep insights into railways and regional economies.

With new videos added regularly, I’m here to support your journey—wherever in Japan it takes you.
Hop on and discover the country, one station at a time!
