I tried the "Gran Class", the most expensive first class seat on Japan’s Shinkansen bullet train.
Japanese bullet train comes in three classes; ordinary “Economy Class”, more spacious business class called “Green Seats”, and the most expensive first class called “Gran Class” complete with service by cabin attendants.
Gran Class is a luxurious and special first class that has been introduced only on the Joetsu / Hokuriku Shinkansen and the Tohoku / Hokkaido Shinkansen.
This time I traveled from Tokyo to Kanazawa on the former route called “Hakutaka”, but the latter is longer. So if you like long-distance train trips, I recommend you to try the latter.

As for languages that are automatically translated, I'm looking for native speakers to help me with the translation. If anyone is interested in translating the subtitles, please contact me! :)

☆★☆This is what it was actually like!☆★☆
---Gran Class, Shinkansen---
* Even doors are different.
* This must be the most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat in my life.
* The cabin attendant was polite and even her voice was calm and wonderful.
* The guy next to me was too relaxed and his space was messy.
* The toilet was handicap friendly and spacious.
* Drinking sparkling wine on the train is extraordinary.
* Go Go Curry at Kanazawa Station was so tasty.

A challenge to visit every country in the world... "Japan" is the "1st" country that I visited out of all the 196 counties in the world.

☆How to get to this place☆
