    Think I like this trip better with the rain, give the whole story atmosphere of the train a more magical, animated feeling, especially with how cloudy/foggy the farther away from the train out the window you got

    All the people waving, even from inside buildings, is so cute and wholesome. The scenery is gorgeous, especially in the rain. Those scarecrows are pure nightmare fuel though. 🤣

    I love watching videos of Japanese trains in the snow, but I think rain is also nice, my second favorite.

    That is one thing I will always enjoy seeing about Japan is the fact that they come together to see people off on various forms of transportation. Whether it be trains, ferries or even busses, Japan goes above and beyond to make people feel welcome and enjoy their time there.

    We don’t often hear extra voices in these beautiful calm videos, but this was also such a nice cozy touch this time. I appreciate the quiet videos as the regular, but the friendly warm chatter that happens once new passengers board at Kotohira Station was such a treat this time.

    I would have preferred a sunny day but the rain gives it a different atmosphere :) great content as usual. I would love to see more of less touristy parts of Japan. Shikoku is indeed a hidden gem.

    I actually enjoyed the rain! It somehow brightens and deepens the colors of the fields. Also, it gives a cozyness to the warmth inside the train. I don't prefer one over the other, rain v. sunshine, each one has its unique features.

    How nice to have people wave you off as your train leaves, and I recall that happening on some of your ferry travels too. What a nice thing to do. This is beautiful train Mr. Solo Travel Japan. You have wonderful travel videos and I wish I was free to take advantage of some Japan sight seeing. It's so pretty there and I hope you keep more videos coming.🙂

    I have just discovered your channel and very much like it. In 3 trips to Japan (all of them 3-4 weeks long), the only places I have so far discovered on Shikoku are Takamatsu and Naoshima. Next March, on our 4th trip to Japan, we will travel around Tohoku, and I am very much looking forward to it. And my list of other places to visit in Japan is getting longer and longer and longer ;-). Now you are adding Shikoku to it !

  • @kudzu_
    @kudzu_ 2 месяца назад +3

    It's neat to see kudzu growing where it is native. It was introduced here in the southern us and has become known as "the vine that ate the south" due to its highly invasive nature. It was intentionally introduced in the 30's to help soil erosion but quickly overtook native flora and infrastructure, and they're still fighting to kill it off. I thoroughly enjoy the flowers this time of year though, they smell like grapes and make a very good jelly 😊 To me, it is the scent of the last days of Summer.

    • @MaryAntonia-tc9rv
      @MaryAntonia-tc9rv 2 месяца назад

      I heard that the vine can grow vigorously overnight . Now I know where it came from and why it's in the south like in Appalachia.

    Wow, the scenery and food look beautiful! And every time I see people waving (either in your video or on my previous Japan trips) it makes me so happy.

    While sunshine is always nice, if I have my preference, I would rather have a "dreary," rainy, misty day like you had. I find it very cozy, even while alone. I have always preferred that weather, and in the winter, I prefer a snowy day. I live in the north of New York, where we get plenty of snow. I enjoy your videos, tey are very peaceful.
