What I most enjoy about these videos is feeling eager to visit Japan's countryside someday... and not only the major tourist and historical mainstream hubs. Thanks so much for this.
You will LOVE it. I lived in Japan for 4 years. When I took the train from Omura to Oita on a Saturday morning to visit the library, there would be pools of mist between the hills, and then on the way back, especially in Autumn, the sun would set the hillside of red-orange-yellow leaved hilsides on fire. Don't even get me started on the Sakura soaked scenes which seemed like pinkish snow, or a billion butterflies. Visit an old castle, climb a hill, then soak in an Onsen and know that you have really lived.
Do it ASAP. I’m nearly 70 and did a solo visit in May this year. I enjoyed it so much I couldn’t wait to go back and did so in October. I was happiest in the places tourists rarely visit. I only know a handful of Japanese words but managed fine, you will too. The only downside is that it takes me 30 hours to get there from the UK but I’m looking to go again next year😊
Thank you for posting this most relaxing and enjoyable view into the part of Japan we seldom see. I have lived in Japan for nearly 40 years and these are the places I enjoy the most, not to mention I am a bit of a rail fan, so this is extra wonderful.
This reminds me of when I lived in Omura (which serves as the airport for Nagasaki). I was working as a teacher at a couple os schools and chose a house away from the main road - but I hadn't really had a look around. So, there I was, sleeping on my first night in my new home in town, and then I was awakened by an almighyt noise of alarms for barriers closing to traffic for trains. Unhappy to say the least, I went to sleep downstairs on the other side of my little house only to be woken again by the sudden ear-splitting alarms of the barriers coming down to stop traffic from crossing the road due to trains. Next day I realised my house was in a sort of Y-shape island between TWO barrier crossings! On top of that, the locals used to get milk/yoghurt deliver around 5am by motorcycle, PLUS a neighbour kept chickens which (despite the cartoons showing them crowing at sunrise) screeched from around 3am onwards. Up until then I used to look young for my age.
such a pleasant way to end an evening. After a long hot day of yard work. Thank you for taking these video's. I like these small local rail lines. If I ever make it over to Japan. I'd love to ride some of these. I'd be kinda scared, since I understand so little of the language. So here I sit watching and dreaming.
Diesel locomotives look heavy and dark for the smoke produced by diesel engine. But the one locomotive in the video has no overhead wire over it and no pantograph, I just noticed smoke coming out from it . That means it's a diesel locomotive. But still looks so clean, light and modern . Wonderful 😊
Merci pour ce magnifique voyage dans les campagnes du Japon. Je suis émerveillé par tous les jardins potagers que les gens cultivent partout le long de la voie.
It's notable that there is no graffiti, or rubbish at the stations. They get snow there? 15:40 looks like a snow plough, stored in the siding. 31:05 got an enthusiast or hippie there: Surfboard, Coca Cola sign, and an early VW van.
There is no graffiti anywhere in Japan ...Its not allowed...Kids in School clean the classroom at the end of the day....No roving gangs of out of control woke idiots...Low crime as well....
This is such Lush, Green Countryside. So different from Australia. You'll have to do this trip during Winter. It must be Magical with a nice even cover of Snow. ❤🇦🇺
It's a good comparison. Im in QLD, whichh as the same gauge track as Japan: 3'6" for local trains. The Shinkensin is Standard Gauge 4'8 1/2" Japan probably doesn't have the room for the over 10 000km of 3'6" QLD has.
I'm absolutely no expert here, but the rails are placed too consistently at sharp bends for this extra rail to be replacement rail awaiting removal. Also, the entrance to these pieces of track are splayed out slightly, suggesting that maybe there is an extra wheel (or similar) on the train that inserts itself between the extra rail and the track. In the UK on sharp bends these pieces of "check rail" -- which are designed to alleviate wear on the outer rail -- are placed INSIDE the track, i.e. inside the 4 foot 8.5 inch spaced rails. Maybe in the Japanese system they are place on the outside. This is a pretty good idea if you think about it, as it means that the OUTER rail is easily accessible to be replaced. Also, is this video of a 3 foot 6 gauge line? If so that might be another reason for having an outer, rather than inner, check rail. Just a thought.
It is not clear why there are so few stops if there are many settlements on the train's route. How do residents get to them if there is no train stop?🤔✌️🇺🇦

Don't worry about travelling in Japan. Languages are displayed on all public transport.....Kids will greet you in the parks ...

Very hypnotic.
Clean and green.
So many places where I would like to stop for a while and explore.
Straight out of a Studio Ghibli adventure.

芸備線の車窓も良いですが木次線の車窓も良いですね。しかも気動車でディーゼルのエンジン音がまた良いんですよね。ディーゼルエンジンが好きです。新しい特急ひだ号もディーゼルエンジンのハイブリッドなので乗ってみたいです。木次線は遠いので動画で我慢しますありがとうございます。
How lovely to see the Japanese countryside. More please!!
Delightful, thanks for the ride. Another thing added to my to do list on my next visit to your wonderful country.
No one gets on, no one gets off. That pretty much sums up life in Japan.
What are wonderful video showing the beautiful Japanese countryside.

A lot of the signs are in English, and the ticket kiosks also allow you to select a language. Super easy once you get the hang of it.
Such a nice ride.
Thanks for riding!
亡父の故郷が木次でした。今から半世紀まえに、親父に連れられて1日がかりで汽車を乗り継ぎ行ったことを思い出しました。
結局親父とはいい関係は築けなかった。ただあの帰省した時の、親父の普段見れなかった子供のような澄んだ瞳を覚えている。
来週は秋の彼岸です。墓参り行ったときこの動画を見たことを伝えようと思います。動画のアップに感謝申し上げます。
Fabulous rail journey, such beautiful scenery. Thanks for filming this. 👍🏻👍🏻

Merci pour ce magnifique voyage dans les campagnes du Japon. Je suis émerveillé par tous les jardins potagers que les gens cultivent partout le long de la voie.
I enjoyed the great video.
What a peace atmosphere
Love it, would like to travel around Japan on the smaller rail lines.
Such a beautiful landscape, I want to preserve it for future generations.
Looks like a lovely place to live, was surprised at the lack of pedestrians.
So peaceful and calming. Thanks!
Красота спасибо за видео

풍경이 참 아름답습니다.
风景很美，隔着屏幕也能感觉到空气很新鲜👍
Wonder how this trip would look like in the depths of Winter. Would love to see that
아름다운 풍경 너무 좋아요 ♥
The Bird-song at the start was pleasant as well. But yes, lovely scenery. 🇦🇺
현재 중앙선 안동~경주 구간이 저 풍경과 흡사한데 12월이면 새로 지은 고속선으로 이전 합니다
Офигенно👍👍👍Красота неимоверная☝️
33:40 - Drivers test area. Of course, the rest of the video is quite nice. So many small rice fields with lots of waterworks.
Very good ❤
Fajna podróż lubię takie obrazki
Japan is perfect
খুব সুন্দর, বাংলাদেশ থেকে, ধন্যবাদ 🙏
Un grand Merci!
ここは 昔 夫の 懐かしい勤務地までの 路線らしくて
私も 乗ってみたいですっ
Awesome video!
I ❤ Japan

Pěkné zrychlení při rozjezdu.
Красивое видео, спасибо!
31:30で手を振っているご家族が居て可愛らしいですね＾＾
線路のなかに草がボウボウ生えているのが、如何にも寂れつつあるローカル線らしい(笑)。
Everything is so lush and green! Here in western Canada my lawn is brown and dead. 😥
it rains a lot out there !!! LOL🥸
@@sellier-bellot22 it used to rain a LOT in British Columbia as well but the summers are WAY drier now.
@@GeoffSeeley sad to hear !!!🤔
Quite a jungle out there !!! LOL🙂
All the landscapes are familiar because of the great works of Hayao Miyazaki through Studio Ghibli
Not even a single paper bit or trash seen all along the rail track, Japanese are really disciplined.
16:58 - Wow, literally going through someone's garden just next to homes. What was built first, the buildings or the train line?
I want to walk on this track 👣
FC from Thailand . I'm traindriver Thailand 😊
Mampir nyimak dari Merauke
I love how close the trains are to the rail line!
Itsumo Urusai densha so iu koto desu! Tsumaranai😮
Tôi đã đi tầu điện trên đất nước bạn , rất tuyệt vời .
Great video! Thanks for sharing. What type of camera do you use to film?
Reminds me of a BR Pacer. Does it bounce as much?
看到這條路線，跟台灣的〔平溪線〕路程很相似，不同的是 平溪線很多人搭，還有：不會下雪！😂😘😅
Ini Keretapi DMU @ Diesel Multiple Unit!!!!
冒頭、狭いレールを車両がゆらゆらやって来る映像は印象的。日本はナローの国だと再認識しました。
美しい自然のある国人々が秩序正しく規律を保っている国は、模範として見習う価値があります。国は清潔で、人々は心優しく、恵まれない人々を尊重し、尊重します。これらはすべて私の愛する日本です。私は日本が大好きです。👌👍🙏🤟❤️🇯🇵
駅には落書きやゴミはありません。
なるほど
🇯🇵を愛して下さりありがとうございます🙏これからも宜しくお願いいたします🙇
I jedzą smażone półżywe ryby☹️
Отряд 731 ?
What is the width between tracks on this railway?
The beginning of the video could be the beginning of a movie or something...
Sepi ya. Jadi pingin hidup disana.
Perhaps someone can explain why, on many bends, there is a length of track running along the outside rail? What purpose does this serve?
Replacement rails to be installed in the track later or they have been removed and not yet taken away.
I'm absolutely no expert here, but the rails are placed too consistently at sharp bends for this extra rail to be replacement rail awaiting removal. Also, the entrance to these pieces of track are splayed out slightly, suggesting that maybe there is an extra wheel (or similar) on the train that inserts itself between the extra rail and the track. In the UK on sharp bends these pieces of "check rail" -- which are designed to alleviate wear on the outer rail -- are placed INSIDE the track, i.e. inside the 4 foot 8.5 inch spaced rails.

Also, is this video of a 3 foot 6 gauge line? If so that might be another reason for having an outer, rather than inner, check rail. Just a thought.
@@davidjohnwagstaff1235I think we were looking at 2 different things here. The question referred to rails left to the side and not fastened down.
@@mrhydenotdrjekyll It does not. You answered the wrong question.
It is not clear why there are so few stops if there are many settlements on the train's route. How do residents get to them if there is no train stop?🤔✌️🇺🇦
was my first question, too.
but I was mostly astonished about the gap of travellers!
only one?
А на поездах там тоже левостороннее движение?😮
👏👏👏😊👍
❤😮
País maravilhoso.
A+
👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Vid played at 360p on android device is very grainy.
原風景とは何年ぐらい前のことですか？
а в конце куда потом поезд идет?
19:42 what is the reason for that short stretch of closed road?
こういう電車や気動車が１，２，３時間おきでも通る沿線住民って羨ましい―泥棒絶対来ないんじゃないかな。
這條鐵路很像台灣的平溪線鐵路
Sounds like a bus.
great countryside ride,thank you for sharing ;-)
🇹🇷🇹🇷
우리나라 경북선 느낌이군요 경북선 김천~점촌 구간이 이제 정말 마지막 남은 일제시대 부설한 철도 입니다 2024 10월 현재 중앙선 안동~경주 구간이 일제시대 부설한 철도 이고 저 열차가 다니는 길과 흡사 하지만 중앙선은 올해 12월에 신선으로 이전해요
人好少啊
Страшно.
