One of the greatest travel experiences you will ever have. Rail travel in Japan is simply a joy. Yes it seems slow but it's always ( always ) on time, clean, and safe. The high speed Shinkansen is hard to describe, but I tell people it's like flying in a turbo prop airplane at ground level with great food. You can get a Japan Rail Pass in the US and travel much cheaper. (But you must purchase it in your home country) Includes the Shinkansen and regular JR trains and bus lines. The food, the people, the history, the traditions are unforgettable. Absolutely safe, you will not be bothered anywhere normal people go. Don't miss the Sky Tree in Tokyo, Mt Fuji, visit a Nikko Onsen (hot springs), Osaka Aquarium, and a sake brewery in Nara. I could go on all day.....
Agree with the previous comments about the scenery etc. However the track looks in just OK condition and some of those bridges!! - hence the slow speed. I tend to think of Japan as at the top of technology in so many ways including bullet trains so this was quite a different journey. Thanks for posting from Australia
What I like about japan is that its cities are among the most technologically advanced places you can be, and their rural areas are in stark contrast, it feels like you came back into the past
Around the 35.00 minute mark there are tall aluminum fences running alongside portions of the track.Some appear to have ‘blinds’ stacked at their bases. Are these for protecting the housing areas from toxic sprays used in the rice fields or for dusts created at rice harvest times ? Or blowing snow drifts ? I also note the heavy rusting of the rails along with what appear to be kudzu infestations pointing to a very humid climate.
Excessive flange grinding aside, this has to be one of the most scenic train routes I've ever seen outside of a Ghibli movie... thanks for filming and sharing this! By the way 1: splitting the switch @21:45, I've been told trams do this all the time, but it's the first time I saw a train do it. By the way 2: you can kinda see why cars are a more popular mode of transport for most people. Shame, isn't it?
To expand on splitting switches, the big "S" on the switch stand refers to it. In the US that's often referred to as a Spring Switch, one that can easily be split without damaging the switch. The switch will revert to the state it was initially in after the train passes.
If I could, I'd visit Japan just to see country like this and ride single-line railroads just like this one! Of all the cab-view videos I've seen, in all the different countries, I like the videos of Japanese single lines the most. But, the more I see, the more I want to know, and there's one question I really have to ask. In most of the Japanese videos, I frequently notice the train running over open switches. It occurs when the train is leaving a station, at the point where the dual track converges back into a single line. Obviously, there's something special about the switches. But, are they spring-loaded; do they reset the points, automatically, when it senses a train passing; is this feature common to the switches used throughout Japanese railroading? What's the story?
They're spring switches and are common on single-track railways with light loadings. The switches just before stations can be left in one position to direct trains to one side of an island platform. The oncoming train merely pushes the blades of the switch as it proceeds in the opposite direction. If necessary, the switches can be set the other way, either manually or remotely.
OK, from of all the countries to comment, the US, but, here goes...I like it, the line is def toonerville by some standards, but being its Japan, its clean safe & reliable i'm sure. That said, 3 points....1st: a little continous weld rail/concrete ties/sleepers would not hurt, as the autos are zoooming past at what 40 mph...?? 2nd: I see some of the stations are redone, but some, well cute, but decrepit (sorry!) 3rd: maybe some electric traction...perhaps 3rd rail or overhead OR: Australia dies have a line the runs on solar/batteries, so maybe??
This Seems a nice place to live, sitting on a lazy chair, put my feet up, watching my rice field, don' t pay any taxes, ....Hey, a man can dream right....?!!
В упор не понимаю. 21:46 стрелка же "не наша" (переведена на боковой путь). Или в Японии всё как-то по другому? Или при противошерстном движении положение стрелки (ужас какой) роли не играет?
@@sanitarpp2845 выгода в том что переключать постоянно не надо, поезд своим весом ее переключит и проедет, после она вернется на место и встречный поезд спокойно заедет на соседний путь и так же при выезде сместит стрелку с другой стороны, переключать надо только в крайних случаях.
@@RomanGTR35 НУ я работал дежурным по станции (у нас на РЖД) и как то не считаю перевод централизованной стрелки большим трудом. Если бы там все стрелки такие были и функцию набирать маршрут вручную можно было бы исключить вообще - я бы понял.
Accommodation for bicycles on train is not so popular in Japan. But some railway companies introduce it for promotion for increasing use of trains. It is called "cycle train" in Japan. For example, JR EAST's BBBASE is famous for being designed for cyclists. www.jreast.co.jp/chiba/bbbase/train/ Some cycle trains need reservation or additional fare. The number of cycle train is increasing little by little. jitensha-hoken.jp/blog/2017/04/japan-cycle-train-list-2/ Some railway companies accept a portable folding bike as a baggage, but there are different rules. For example, In case JR, a personal belongings ticket is needed in addition to Basic Fare Ticket depending on size and type of bicycle. global.jr-central.co.jp/en/tickets/type/belongings.html
ありがとうございます。
久しぶりに実家を見ることができました😭
元は国鉄矢島線でした。
全区間1閉塞のスタフ閉塞方式でしたが、本数増やして行き違い設備新設したのが利用客増えたと聞いています。マイレール意識が高いですね。
So much like riding the cabs in Wales but on a bigger scale which I find to be so beautiful.. well done again for such a wonderfull video..
The Jurassic Park dinosaur fences were cool looking!
I like the pace of this one, more time to take the view in. Thank you for all your uploads, I am slowly going through all of them.

An excellent video of a relaxing train ride. I enjoyed the trip, thanks.
감사합니다. 힐링이 되네요~ 내년에는 직접 가보겠죠..

This train cannot be taken with the Japan Rail Pass
Приветствую и спасибо вам,очен замечательное путишествия была,вокруг красива и сказочно,желаю каналу процветание,удачи вам
If i were gonna go for a railway trip i would go to japan n switzerland they have the most beautiful railway view in the universe
A wonderful scenic ride many thanks for posting cheer's bob.
Lovely, pretty awesome and scenic journey. Many thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Best regards, Nassa
Excellent little video, thanks for the upload.
Sounds like the rails were laid 3'5 3/4" apart those flanges and my ears are taking a beating.
3:29 ghost the japanese girl in the tunnel
It was an electric cabel
@ep5 no... thats really Ghost.... i believe it
Beautiful countryside, nice local line. Must be the most battered rails in the Japanese network. Pity about the focus at 6.00 - 8.40 and 34 - 25.50.
lovely scenery. Thanks for awesome video!
The poor flanges! They hit the rail on most corners!
I think the local wheel-makers are very rich...
My poor, poor ears...
Happy anniversary!

Track gauge 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in), according to Wikipedia.
Nice ride through the Japanese Outback!

The journey is full of curvrs
Lots of curves, you bet. Even more, when you get. To the junction. Petticoat Junction!
is that canola everywhere? ugg
This is the Japan, I would like to see, if I ever get up the courage and money to go there.
The train makes a creepy sound when it goes over the foot crossings

Why is there no accommodation for bicycles on these trains?
