1
Hello, it's Yuuka!
2
I'm heading to Osaka now.
3
Today, I'll be taking a night bus called "Dream Sleeper." I'm going to try it out and see how it is.
4
Right now, I'm at Shinjuku Station, the departure point.
5
The current time is 10:39 PM, and the bus departs at 11:15 PM.
6
So, I have about 30 minutes left.
7
I came early just to be safe.
8
It's my first time, after all.
9
So, what exactly is the "Dream Sleeper"?
10
Well, it's a fully private, high-speed bus.
11
With a concept focused on comfort and relaxation, it has a variety of features.
12
It's known for changing the image of night buses, and it's even called a "hotel on wheels." As the name suggests, it's a bus where you can have sweet dreams (?).
13
Something like that, I guess.
14
Anyway, it’s designed for a great sleep experience.
15
This is the booking screen.
16
It cost me 20,000 yen one way!
17
It's more expensive than the bullet train, and it's also really hard to book.
18
I made this reservation about a month ago, and they don’t operate that often.
19
Some weeks, it’s only available on weekends, or just Friday and Saturday.
20
They only operate about half of the month.
21
It's really hard to get a reservation.
22
The bus stop is over there, where it says "Busta Shinjuku." Let's head there.
23
I have a lot of luggage today.
24
Since I'm going to Osaka, I brought lots of clothes, so my bags ended up being really heavy.
25
It's my first time taking a bus from Shinjuku Station, so I hope I can get on smoothly.
26
There it is, the Dream Sleeper!
27
It's so cute!
28
It even has "Dream Sleeper" written on it.
29
It's huge! It's bigger compared to other buses.
30
And to think it only seats 11 people, that's impressive.
31
It looks like you can bring luggage of a specific size, and larger bags go underneath.
32
Mine isn't that big, so it's within the allowed size, and I can bring it inside.
33
Thank you! Whoa, the aisle is so narrow...
34
B3. The private room is pretty small; I can't even stretch my arms out fully.
35
This side is the window, so you can see outside like this.
36
The view is really clear.
37
My voice echoes a lot, so I can't talk too much...
38
I'll be quiet.
39
On the door to the aisle, there's one hanger.
40
There are two room lights; one for the front and one for the back.
41
There's even an emergency SOS button, but I hope I won't need to use it.
42
I’ll make sure to stay healthy!
43
We're moving!
44
We're finally departing from Busta Shinjuku.
45
Wave goodbye!
46
At that moment, I made eye contact with the driver of the bus next to us, so I waved my hand like the Emperor.
47
The view is nice, but it feels a bit unsettling since people outside can see me too.
48
Maybe I'll calm down with a drink of water.
49
Alright, let's drink some water and relax.
50
Thank you for choosing Nara Kotsu today.
51
This bus is headed for...
52
Nankai Namba Express Bus Terminal, Osaka Station, Yamato-Saidaiji Station South Exit, and JR Nara Station.
53
This is a night express bus, the Dream Sleeper Tokyo-Osaka-Nara line.
54
The building you see in the center of the screen is the NTT Yoyogi Building. (Tour guide style) When I first came to Tokyo, I thought that was Tokyo Tower.
55
The final stop, JR Nara Station, will be at 8:10 AM.
56
The scheduled arrival time is 08:10.
57
The Zero-Gravity Seat, inspired by NASA’s theory, can be adjusted using the control buttons on the side of the seat.
58
The Zero-Gravity position, which offers the best sleep, can be set with the full-auto button on the lower side.
59
On the Dream Sleeper, there are plenty of amenities.
60
This is a wet towel.
61
It even has the logo on it; so cute!
62
Next is a toothbrush.
63
It even includes toothpaste inside.
64
So convenient!
65
This one is a bit hard to see, but it’s a face mask.
66
This is a steam hot eye mask.
67
As expected, with a fare of 20,000 yen, the lineup is quite luxurious.
68
Lastly, there are headphones and headphone covers provided as well.
69
Since it's my first time riding, I'm eagerly checking out every corner.
70
The bottle-like thing on my left side is apparently a Sharp Plasmacluster.
71
So cool! For everyone’s safety, please make sure to wear your seatbelt.
72
We appreciate your cooperation.
73
I was wondering why the seat felt uncomfortable, and it turns out I was sitting on the blanket.
74
No wonder my butt was feeling bumpy!
75
Now I can finally relax.
76
Compared to regular express buses, the ride is more comfortable, but there's one thing that bothers me.
77
This... Even though my bag fits within the allowed size, when I put it by my feet, there's hardly any space left.
78
I wanted to stretch my legs, so I stepped outside my room to explore the bus.
79
This is the powder room.
80
It’s at the very back of the bus.
81
There's a staircase in the middle of the bus, and if you go down, you'll find the restroom.
82
The restroom is very clean, but it is a bit cramped.
83
Well, I’m not planning on using it anyway.
84
There's a convenience store in the Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal lounge, so I stocked up on supplies there.
85
Bus party? Dream Sleeper party?
86
Let’s get started!
87
Today’s set list is beer and Jagarico, of course.
88
The convenience store gets really crowded before departure, so I recommend stocking up early for peace of mind.
89
I spilled a bit of beer, but there's no tissue in the room, so bringing your own pocket tissues is a must.
90
When it comes to price, the Shinkansen wins.
91
But beer is delicious.
92
And I’m going to dig into Jagarico too.
93
There's a table in front of the seat, so you can eat your bento, or place your phone on it to watch videos.
94
It’s super convenient.
95
As for the ride's shake, personally, I found it a bit more intense than I expected.
96
Since I usually drive myself, I forgot that I get motion sickness.
97
I should have brought motion sickness medicine.
98
Oh well. But I can just use alcohol to fend off the nausea, so it's fine.
99
Death. It’s been a while since someone else was driving, so it's really nice.
100
We're about to get on the Tomei Expressway.
101
I found a booklet that explains the Dream Sleeper in detail.
102
There's even Wi-Fi on the bus.
103
You can stream YouTube videos without any problems, so it's great for falling asleep to.
104
And here’s what it looks like.
105
After about an hour of driving, we’ve reached the area near Atsugi.
106
Because it's late at night, there aren't many cars on the road.
107
Express buses are taller, so the view is different and really fun.
108
But we still have 7 hours to go...
109
Hoping my back doesn't explode...
110
Praying. We’ve arrived at the Ashigara Service Area.
111
We’re taking a short break here.
112
There's no announcement like "We're taking a break" to avoid waking up sleeping passengers, so it's a bit tricky to figure out when to get off the bus.
113
Oh no, the bus is leaving in 3 minutes.
114
I need to hurry...
115
I stayed on the bus for the first 5 minutes, so I didn’t have time to visit the convenience store.
116
Regret. Break's over, and the bus is on the move again.
117
I'm going to close the curtains and get ready for bed.
118
There are only 11 seats on the Dream Sleeper, so there aren't many passengers, and the washroom isn't that crowded.
119
Once the curtains are closed, it's a private room.
120
They also have soap, sanitizing wipes, and other things here.
121
Brushing your teeth while the bus is moving is good for your core.
122
A nice workout before bed!
123
It doesn’t even feel like I’m on a bus.
124
It's more like a net cafe.
125
But because of the intense shaking, sensitive sleepers might not be able to fall asleep.
126
The door to the room doesn't have a lock, so sometimes it opens and closes due to the motion.
127
Since it's a good opportunity, I'll use the hot eye mask to sleep.
128
Earplugs or AirPods would help, making it easier to sleep.
129
Well then, good night.
130
Good morning.
131
It's starting to get bright outside.
132
Not sure where we are, but I'm guessing it's Japan.
133
There are rice fields everywhere, so it's completely different from when we left Shinjuku.
134
I’m going to return the seat to its upright position.
135
I just realized that the footrest goes up.
136
This way, the bag won't be in the way.
137
After sleeping in such a cramped space, my whole body is stiff.
138
I didn't notice, but the pillow attached to the seat can be adjusted.
139
Because of the shaking, my head kept moving back and forth while I was sleeping.
140
So I wish I had a neck pillow like on planes.
141
I'm more of a morning bath person, so I'll use the body wipes I brought to freshen up.
142
Even just doing this makes me feel refreshed, so I highly recommend it.
143
I also use these when I sleep in my car, so they're essential for overnight trips.
144
I just got a glimpse, and it looks like we're near Higashi-Osaka Kita Interchange.
145
Before I knew it, we were in Osaka, so I'll start packing up.
146
I was debating whether to sleep until the very last minute, but after a poll, I decided to pack up early.
147
Though packing is just folding the blanket, I'll take it easy and enjoy the scenery.
148
By the way, this water is free.
149
A pretty nice service.
150
Tastes better than regular water.
151
The scenery is starting to look more Osaka-like.
152
Or maybe it's just because the signs say Osaka.
153
Feels like it.
154
Thank you for your hard work.
155
Were you able to rest comfortably?
156
We will soon arrive at the Nankai Namba Express Bus Terminal.
157
Once the bus arrives, the crew will provide instructions.
158
Please remain in your room until then.
159
There's this yakitori place called Shokiya here that I've been to before.
160
While getting ready to leave, I noticed there were pajamas here.
161
I’ll wear them as a keepsake, so they don't go to waste.
162
But the location is hard to find.
163
A brown pajama.
164
It was actually quite comfy.
165
We're almost there, but I’m glad I made some last-minute memories.
166
Peace out. Drinking water in this pajama tasted even better.
167
We’re now arriving at Osaka Station.
168
Please make sure you have all your belongings before you leave.
169
Thank you for using Nara Kotsu’s Dream Sleeper Tokyo-Osaka-Nara service today.
170
We hope you have a great day.
171
I’ve safely arrived at Osaka Station.
172
The Dream Sleeper took almost 8 hours, but I managed to sleep soundly, so it only felt like 3 hours.
173
It was fine while sleeping, but when I was awake, the shaking was a bit much, so I got a little bus sick.
174
But compared to regular night buses, it was amazing, like the ultimate in bus travel.
175
However, for me, the Shinkansen is faster, and when I take the bus, I usually go for cost-efficiency.
176
So, since Dream Sleeper is pricier than the Shinkansen, finding the right time to use it is tricky.
177
But it was a great experience.
178
It's perfect for those who have plans early in the morning, or those who want to sleep during transit.
179
I’m heading to Universal Studios Japan now.
180
Of course, by myself! (sadly) Since I'm here in Osaka, I’ll enjoy sightseeing as well.
181
Thank you for watching until the end today.
182
Please subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, and give it a thumbs up if you liked it!
183
If this video gets a good response, I might do more videos featuring different kinds of transportation.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
