For anybody wondering about those sprinklers, they are spraying water. It is not de-icing, but to make sure the snow can't be powdery and blow up and stick to the undercarriage of the trains. They were having problem with snow blowing up and sticking, building up, and turning to ice balls and then falling off at speed. They could damage underbody tanks and also smash hard into the ballast causing rocks to shoot out and ricochet around even hitting some train windows and breaking them. Before this, they had to run trains much slower through snow. Otherwise, they plow snow normally. And at some station stops manually inspect under the carriages and manually blast away any stuck snow with wands with high pressure water jets. But those automatic sprinklers are just to change the nature of the snow.
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I was wondering if it might just be water but I also wondered if it might then stick to the train as ice. Not enough to cause problems, I guess! And of course it would have to get really cold for water to freeze in the seconds before it runs off the train :)
Thanks for explaining! That was good to know. On Long Island in New York we always have terrible delays and suspension of service in heavy snow. We are definitely not world class when it comes to our transportation industries. Not in New York anyway.
There is so much to learn from the Japanese people. They are able to operate High-speed Railway in very very cold winter conditions. This fact engenders admiration and thus respect!
Surprisingly, even with this heavy snowfall, the Shinkansen was rarely delayed even though most of the regional trains in the area were cancelled. I thank to the Shinkansen's technical capabilities and the people who maintain it.
It had 30 Minutes delay it says in the video. That's massive considering Shinkansen run every 20 minutes on popular lines as this one. Also, the Train was going extremly slow in some sections.
Asians take pride in their jobs, particularly the Japanese. Unlike in the US, as I have experienced, once an American gets a stable paying job, he often doesn't want to work hard at all.
@@jasonlucas2328 "pride" is also enforced on them by the society and the government, in China as well, but at least the japanese population isn't brainwashed
Watching that sleek, N700 trekking slowly into the Station through the snow was a beautiful sight. The snowy landscape is so pretty. I now live in a tropical climate. I love seeing the snow. Thank you.
Try it bro, you can ride the highest speed train for the first time in Southeast Asia. The highest speed is 350 kilometers per hour, the Indonesian fast train Ja jakarta - Bandung, the newest, most sophisticated in Southeast Asia, the first,.the way to the beautiful and comfortable and beautiful and cool and cool city of Bandung, thank you sis and bro........
Watching the normally fast shinkansen (Nozomi?) run sloooowly through the station while being sprayed with water was mesmerising. It's also nice to think that this was just yesterday! Thanks for the fast edit and upload!

Several years back I took a local train decked out in Hello Kitty livery from Matsuyama to Uwajima in the snow. Japan has some beautiful scenery in the snow.
@@keith2092 I really wish we'd do something with the rail system in this country, flying has gotten so bad, I wouldn't mind the extra time to get somewhere. The biggest problem is the freight trains own the tracks. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate cargo going by rail instead of trucks on the highways, but we'd have to install a track system just for passenger trains.
@@marianneturner7267 For someone not in the industry, you have it exactly right. The BBB bill Bden wants would be a start but it won't pass bc of manchion sinema and thegopers.
Wow, that was really something. We don’t get snow where i live. To be able to just jump on a train and travel through it is such a treat. Even sitting here 8000 kilometres away, i have an ear to ear smile! Thank you for taking that trip.
This is a masterpiece. Such a wonderful video. It reminds me of a trip I took on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Yuzawa in February 2020. When the train left Tokyo the sun was shining and by the time it got to Yuzawa it was a winter wonder land. Thank you.
I don't think I've ever seen trains de-iced before. That was definitely different. That's a lot of snow. The highest snow I ever saw during my childhood was 12 inches (31 cm) December 24, 1966 in Philadelphia, PA. I was 8 years old and in heaven. We built snow tunnels in our yard lol. I miss those days.
i was on the 11:10 Kodama shinkansen from Kyoto -Tokyo last Sunday, Dec 26th. The delays were already in place by that time and although it was bright sunshine in Kyoto I was expecting the snow around Maibara. Sure enough, it was a mini-blizzard at times in Shiga and we were held at Maibara station for a good 10 minutes. The scenes at Maibara are fantastic, I wish I'd jumped out to take some pictures. But I was in the green car with a delicious bento so I stayed put. We made up a little time between Nagoya and Tokyo and were less than 10 minutes late arriving at Tokyo Station. no inconvenience at all, it meant 10 extra minutes in a comfy green car seat. I too loved looking at the snow from a warm shinkansen seat. Japan knows how to run a railway.
I used to live in Shiga in the mid 2000s and I can remember arriving back on the Shinkansen after a New Year's trip to Kyushu to the same conditions at Maibara Took a couple of photos of the snowy platforms and tracks. In my case the local trains were still running. Infact this video is the first time I heard that the local Biwa-line trains were suspended. Very unusual!
Absolutely wonderful video my friend,..unfortunately here in the 🇬🇧 we cannot cope with leaves on the line...we used to lead the world in trains,...but now we are lost.
I have just wanted to ask about these sprinklers. Then I watched this comment of Charles Kinzer. No more questions from my side are necessary. Thanks Charles ! 👍
I haven't been to Japan yet, but if I compare the train system there, according to your videos, with the German one... What a difference. For me it's ok, if a train is delayed, because it drives slowly - safety first. But as per what I see on this video: The train is still clean inside, light and heater are working and therefore I'd consider it a pretty comfortable travel. The "Deutsche Bahn" is always surprised again every year in winter, that it's actually COLD and that there could be SNOW. 🤣🤣 Watching your videos makes me kinda jealous. I hope, one day I can have similar experiences when I have a chance to travel to Japan. Thanks for sharing and all the best for the New Year from Munich 🍻
Thanks for lovely ride in a clean, airy and safe train through beautiful Japan! Just the opposite to dirty, smelly swedish trains with a top speed of 200 km per hour on a really good day🤓 Happy 2022🌺🇯🇵❤️
Thank you for your videos, I really enjoy watching them. The snowy landscape looks beautiful, and it's amazing to see that even though the train was delayed, it was still working to take passengers where they need to be. Hope you have a great year. あけおめ、くがさん!
I love winter and I'm getting more and more interested in this Japanese trains and beautiful and breathtaking landscapes. I'd like to visit Japan, especially in winter! ( But ofc spring or autumn seasons also are great). I wonder if in 2 years from now , we'll be able to visit Japan without any restriciton...I hope so!!!🤗🧡
Wonderful video of Maibara station. Almost 2 years ago we stopped at that station just to film different Shinkansens flying by. Very different experience from this video thanks for sharing it :)
In Hikone City 8:25 (Maibara City, Maibara Station), the snowfall is 70 cm, but in a straight line distance At Kyoto Station 9:09, which is less than 50km away, there is no snow. The elevation difference between the two cities is almost none, less than 30m. Nagoya in front of Maibara is also 0 cm In such a narrow range, the climate and temperature will change, and the agricultural products that can be produced will also change, making local special products. This shooting day was a special heavy snowfall day, but if you live in Honshu, Shikoku, or Kyushu, you can swim in the sea in the summer and ski in the winter. Can be enjoyed by traveling less than 150km.
Thanks for this great video - I really enjoyed it. It was great to see the lovely scenery and also watch the Shinkansen glide slowly through the station.
I had been wondering about shinkansens and snow, Kuga-san - thought they might be SO fast that they could just blast through snow, like wheat-straws being driven by a tornado being able to penetrate a telephone pole (weird things happen, at high-enough speeds). I am LOVING the train-trips in the snow, in Japan ❤️😁 - would love to visit the snow-monkeys in their hot-springs around Nagano 🥰! (There’s another video where Kuga-san did just that)
When I was in Japan in 2019, I missed a transfer at Maibara and walked up and down that exact platform for about half an hour waiting for the next Shinkansen to Kyoto. Super cool to compare my pictures to this video. Thank you!

I've ridden that line in 2018. It was February, and luckily, there was no snow. It was one of the BEST high speed railway journeys I've had in my life.
We get large scale heavy snow in the UK maybe once every 5-10 years, and there will be some isolated heavy snow every couple of years, but when we do, the trains wouldn't be 15 minutes late, they would be non-existent, the 1st sign of anything resembling heavy snow here and the place grinds to a halt. This is understandable really, as heavy snow isn't something that happens regularly and when it does it doesn't last long, so there is no reason for the authorities to spend money on the equipment to deal with it, because it will probably sit in a shed and rust 9 years out of 10.
@@huskyfaninmass1042 Yes they do. Snowplows operate on higher altitude roads where the amount of snowfall is usually greatest, but all major routes are gritted during inclement weather, thankfully.
Lovely weather conditions, not ideal for running railways but for short term the snow adds beauty and interest to the day. I do hope to see snow this winter, it used to be a frequent visitor but not so these days, I'm in the south east of England just over 1 hour by train from London. Thanks for sharing and enjoy whilst it lasts!
In the mean time Britain gets an inch of snow and the whole rail network comes to a standstill! Japan has started providing us with our trains now come and operate our network for us!
Excellent explanation about the water jets, never seen that anywhere before, how clever, countryside & trains look beautiful in the snow, another fantastic video from your amazing country 👏
Wow! Never been to Maibara but that’s a lot of snow! My friend went back to Aomori and she said it’s snowing like crazy there. Was hoping for snow at Xmas here in Yokohama but maybe the latter part of January. Happy New Year Kuga san, 来年、よろしくお願いします❣️🥂🙏🏼
Japan 🇯🇵 is one of the country 5 countries which I want to visit along with Australia 🇦🇺France🇨🇵 Germany🇩🇪 and Ireland🇮🇪. By the way, Japan 🇯🇵 is very beautiful country from beaches to beautiful mountains every thing is beautiful there. Japan is is a kind of blend of both ancient culture and modern technology. This thing bounds me with the beauty of this country.
Absolutely latest upload by you … Brilliant scenery. Trains at least run late in 70 cms snow in Japan . Here in England trains stop running in 20cms snow 😀😀😀. But then again it’s Japan . Loved the tracks and coach being water sprayed continuously to prevent snow build up .
I saw the news about the news about the snow in Shiga prefecture, and the photos of Hikone. 😱 I’m used to seeing snow at Maibara in the winter but was surprised to see the low speed delays. I’m used to that being more of a thing on the Akita, Yamagata, Tohoku, and Joetsu Shinkansens.

For anybody wondering about those sprinklers, they are spraying water. It is not de-icing, but to make sure the snow can't be powdery and blow up and stick to the undercarriage of the trains.

You must live in Germany
Trains in Japan are amazing! I love the Shinkansens. Such an amazing country 🇯🇵 I miss it
Aside from the snow, the Nozomi trains passing by at snail speed is a delight to watch

On my first Shinkansen trip, in December 2014, there was no snow, except for that area north west of Nagoya.
This RUclips amplifies that reality.
The snow on the rooftops look so inviting, makes me want to scoop it up and eat it!
Was recommended this channel a few days ago, now I can't stop watching these cool, chilled video's
It snowed a lot in Nagoya too! It snowed a lot in Kamakura too!
Sometimes I forget to water my Shinkansens in my garden...
The snow storm left many people without electricity. 😢Hope everything is back to normal soon 👍Happy New Year KT! ❤😍

@@huskyfaninmass1042 Yes they do. Snowplows operate on higher altitude roads where the amount of snowfall is usually greatest, but all major routes are gritted during inclement weather, thankfully.
Part of the UK problem is the freeze-thaw cycle due to our temperate climate, which can lead to ice.

Loved the tracks and coach being water sprayed continuously to prevent snow build up .
or cancel trains because there are leaves on the track
but now i would prefer 2cm of snow and not spring like temps
@@enisra_bowman Indeed .. even tracks getting too hot in summer and trains stop running 🛑 .
Happy New Year Kuga. Wishing you the best of health and happiness in 2022.
Thank you very much for another excellent video, Kuga-san 😊 I have not watched your videos in a while, so I am getting caught up with watching them.
Thank you Mr Kuga
I saw the news about the news about the snow in Shiga prefecture, and the photos of Hikone. 😱 I’m used to seeing snow at Maibara in the winter but was surprised to see the low speed delays. I’m used to that being more of a thing on the Akita, Yamagata, Tohoku, and Joetsu Shinkansens.
Beautiful journey
