I never thought I plan my trip around all the different trains and cable cars I want to take, but here we are!! I'm so excited to have a unique travel experience in this way. Also the bark and meow when the trains passed each other was adorable! 😊😊
The amusement park is so gorgeous with the cherry blossoms! The fact that the cat and dog funiculars meow and bark respectively when they pass each other is adorable! I'm glad they did that, on top of theming the cable cars after a dog and a cat, because it's the little things that count! And the cake-themed one on the Sanjō Line is just as cute! The fact it goes through an actual neighborhood shows it's more than just a tourist attraction, it's an actual commuter line for people! Geography is a key reason why transit isn't a one size fits all, as in while a mode of transit may work in one place, it may not effectively work in another! As shown here, in the case of mountainous cities or mountainous neighborhoods of cities, using cable cars/gondolas, funiculars, or maybe a monorail may be the best option! When you build funiculars in urban environments like here, you get to both serve all the people who live on such hill and get a bunch of tourism revenue from people riding it for fun or in this case, to get to an amusement park! It's a win-win! In La Paz, Bolivia, a city in a canyon at an elevation of roughly 3,650 m above sea level, their gondola network is the backbone of their transit network, tackling the challenging terrain and better serving La Paz and El Alto by alleviating the traffic of winding streets. My favorite funicular is Haifa's Carmelit, named such because it goes up the religiously important Mount Carmel! It opened in 1959 and is quite the unique system since the oldest underground transit system in the Middle East is actually a funicular that's only 1.1 miles long but has a couple stations! Not to mention it serves the beautiful Baháʼí World Centre! Not the only underground funicular as another is Istanbul's Tünel which opened in 1875 and is the second-oldest underground urban railway in the world after the London Underground, and the oldest in Continental Europe since it predates the Budapest Metro! It was the idea of French engineer Eugène-Henri Gavand after a visit to the city and noticed how many tourists struggled going up and down Yüksek Kaldırım Avenue.
oh my goodness! ALL the trains and rides where super cute! and i love the views you shared too! Also, you should never feel silly riding anything alone even as an adult, because we're all still children at heart too! Your lunch looked so very YUM and amazing! I'll for sure go see this park with my own eyes when I move to Tokyo soon for school! Thank you for another wonderful video, and stay safe and wonderful yourself, my friend!
I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video and the cute trains and rides! You're absolutely right-there's no age limit on enjoying life and having fun. It sounds exciting that you'll be moving to Tokyo for school; I'm sure you'll love exploring the park and more. Thanks for your kind words, and take care as you embark on this new adventure!
@@experience_japan thanks for making the video. For years I've wondered why more people don't know about it. Hopefully this will give Ikoma a few extra visitors.
As you mentioned, the Hōzanji Line is the oldest commercially operated funicular in Japan as it opened all the way back in 1918! Hōzanji station serves the Hōzan-ji temple which wasbuilt in the 1670s and was officially dedicated to the deity Acala/Fudō Myōō, though it has become a cult-center of the deity Kangiten or the god of bliss, the Japanese Buddhist equivalent to Hindu god Ganesha. What's now the temple was originally a place for the training of Buddhist monks as Mount Ikoma was originally an object of worship for the ancient people in the region, and thus this area was selected as a place for religious training. The training area is said to have opened in 655 by En no Gyōja, the founder of Shugendō, and it's where monks like Kūkai, who founded Shingon Buddhism, was trained. When the Ikoma rail tunnel was built after a difficult construction, Ikoma got rail access to places like Nara and Osaka, and thus more people moved to the area, eventually leading to the Ikoma Cable Car and the amusement park! For those who don't know: Deer are a symbol of Nara because the deer in Nara were historically viewed as sacred! Historically, they were considered divine messengers. The legend goes that the thunder god, Takemikazuchi, appeared in Nara riding on a white deer. The deer carried a scroll in its mouth, and Takemikazuchi warned the awestruck mortals who beheld him that from that point on, the deer would report their actions to the gods. The humans took note, built shrines, and granted the deer protection. Killing one of these sacred Nara deer was punishable by death, and so for hundreds of years, the animals roamed freely. They became semi-tame around humans, losing the fearfulness that most deer species possess. After World War II, when many Japanese were eager to cast off the past, the deer’s sacred status was officially revoked but were instead designated as natural monument and are protected as such!
It is great to see these retro rides and gaming machines have been maintained and kept for future generations. So many have been destroyed and are now just memories.
It's indeed wonderful to preserve these retro rides and gaming machines for future enjoyment. It's sad that many are gone, but keeping some alive keeps the memories fresh. Thanks for appreciating their value!
7:05 I loved that they added the barking and meowing sounds. It's such a little detail but it really seems to make the experience even better. So many intersting places in Japan, hope I get to visit some day 😊
I'm glad you appreciated the little details like the sounds! Japan has so much to offer, and I hope you get to experience it too. Thank you for your comment! 😊
Utterly magnificent and such a magical place, so very beautiful ❤ I was also greatly pleased to see the swallows nest too. They're due to arrive any day here in the UK, I absolutely love them ❤
What an amazing video of a retro amusement park, I love Japan & I'd love to go and visit this retro park, the views are totally amazing, love the cherry blossom. Thank you for such a wonderful video 🥰 xx
What a lovely day in a beautiful place! I particularly liked pedalling through the canopy of cherry blossoms. (And reading about overcoming adversity) Thank you!
All three cable cars were cute. The views from the amusement park is incredible. The day pass price was very reasonable since you can ride as much as you want. You're lucky you can go to a place like that.
Two of your videos have now convinced me i need to stay overnight in Osaka when i come back to Japan in late October. This looks like a lot of fun, and will be a nice quiet place to check out.
I'm thrilled you enjoyed the suspense and the views! Thanks for coming along on this adventure. Looking forward to more wonderful places together! 🌺😉🥰😘
This was relaxing and lovely! Spring is just arriving in New Hampshire, so we are seeing buds and early flowers and flowering plants like forsythia and some trees with blossoms. Your cherry blossoms are beautiful-I loved the ride through the blossoms. And I'm glad you chose the cat, Mike. You can never go wrong when you go with sparkles, hahaha! Thank you for another wonderful video -oh! Almost forgot to say-you're never alone when you bring us with you! Until next time, be well and happy!
I'm so glad you found the video relaxing and lovely! It sounds like spring is making a beautiful entrance in New Hampshire too. I'm happy you enjoyed the ride through the cherry blossoms and the choice of Mike the cat-sparkles always bring a bit of fun, haha! Thank you for your heartwarming words and for joining me on this journey. Until next time, take care and stay happy!

I can't believe how beautiful the view is and how high up you are. It looked like you could touch the sky , and the cherry blossoms was the cherry on top for a gorgeous site . I cannot believe you had a book in an amusement park. Let your inner child come out and ride the rides all if you can, I dare you. 😂😂😂 I loved what you said about the trains when they pass each other meows and barks , that got me.😅😅😅😅I can't express waiting for the next, I'm not a patience person, hurry.😊😊 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, it might feel like "embarrasing" to enjoy rides alone as an adult but life is too short for worrying about things like that! As you said, you travelled to be there so why not and enjoy your time there as much as you like :D I still like amusemement rides as an fellow adult, however I do skip some rides, I've noticed that my stomach can't handle some of the rides that I was able to handle as a kid haha. Also I'm really scared of free fall rides so I avoid those too also :")
Love your channel! As someone whose dream it is to visit Japan one day, I would defiantly wanna go here seeing how beautiful it is. And those cable cars cannot get any cuter!!
The log ride you showed in the you tube. In 1978, I weighed 280 pounds = 127 kg at age 21. When I went down on a similar ride back then the ride - the log ride - was flooded and I felt like a UBoat commander (submarine)😂. Today I weight simply 195 pounds = 88.45 kilograms. I have been this weight for about 40 years now. Anyway, when riding similar log rides overtime as the one did in your video! - I experienced what you did- meaning a very small amount of water coming towards you and or none in the ride, in particular, it brought back that memory I wanted to share with your channel and you. As usual another great video to show what is available to anyone coming to Japan. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing your fun story and the kind words! I'm glad my video could bring back such a unique memory for you. Looking forward to sharing more experiences with you all!
I think the log ride had only as much water in it as needed to function safely; you can tell by looking at the water level in the channel after the first big hill. That is NOT to minimize (heh) your success at losing a large amount of weight and keeping it off - not at all! And I say this as a fat chick who's lost and regained weight my whole life. :grin: I can totally see you in a log ride boat, not making a splash at all when it's just you in the log boat at your current weight. Which is probably why the boats get loaded with multiple people in the hot summertime, so there will be lots of splashing and drenching of riders. 😸
A very interesting theme park. I assume it has seen its best days?! It's a shame you didn't go to the haunted house. I would have been very interested in that attraction. Best wishes from beautiful Germany. Please keep it up, my friend!
Thank you for this video. I'll probably never get to go there (considering it is a bit distance from Osaka and if I ever went to Japan it would probably be Tokyo.). Still, I liked seeing the park. I wish I could one day visit it.
That cat train Ghibli movie " my neighbour totoro" it was such an amazing movie and when you go to arcade I'm thinking not again you will regret then after one game you leave , nice 👍🏼👍🏼 and that place is also nice in this season.
I'm glad you enjoyed "My Neighbor Totoro" and the arcade experience! It's great to hear you liked the seasonal ambiance of the place too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you sir for this content! There used to be some older/retro amusement parks (Kiddieland, Santa’s Village) near where I grew up, Chicago. I think they’ve been torn down. Sad.
Those cable cars were so cute. Of course they have to allow adults because Japanese parents don't let their children go about w/out them do they? That had to be the most quiet amusement park I've ever seen. No loud music. No children screaming or shouting. Wow! Of course, very clean. I'm always so impressed.
This is a great example of what I was saying about how you find interesting places to go to. With the limited time I'd have on a trip to Japan I'd never go to a place like this unless it my 253rd trip and I'd seen everything I wanted to see and more, lol. So again I thank you for these videos, because without them I'd miss out on a lot even if I'd already seen a lot.
As a swiss Man, used to swiss Funiculars, I don't see the "steep" in this one. we would've most likely done that incline with a Rack Railway.... Worlds steepest, both Rack Railway (Pilatusbahn, 48° Incline) and Funicular (Stoosbahn, 47° Incline) are located here....
I want to enjoy Japan but I don't know if I can get a work visa as I want to enjoy the sights and sounds of Japan for myself and document my experience living in Japan. Your videos are awesome to watch and to enjoy
I had so much fun watching this video that I dread to think what would have happened if I had actually tried an owl or a log😁 I would definetely visit a haunted house 👻
I'm glad the video brought you so much joy! Trying out an owl or a log ride might bring even more surprises. Hope you get to visit a haunted house too! 👻
Sorry for the weird questions, what type of wrist watch are you using? It got me curious about it after seeing a few of your videos.😅 i love your videos, some day i will travel there..some day.
Ctfu at "MIKE" It very likely could mean something different in Japanese but it's funny to me as an American bc its such a basic common American name for a human n its being given to an adorable looking cable car cat😂😹😻
Why feel embarrassed riding kiddie rides? I did it in Magic Kingdom and could care less what people think. I sang along the Snow White and Seven Dwarves ride and was excited like a little kid on the Winnie the Pooh ride. Screw what others think as long as you’re having fun!
Absolutely, enjoying yourself is what matters most! I love your spirit and am inspired to just have fun on my next park visit. Cheers to more carefree adventures!
@@experience_japan I hope to visit Japan one day, and I’ll keep this retro part in mind. By the way, i’m blow away by the prices! $24 for a day ticket of unlimited rides is a greta deal. It costs that much to just park in some parks here. I believe we paid as much (if not more) in Disney World for parking. How much do the tickets to Disneyland cost in Japan? Regular tickets in Six Flags (poor man’s Disney) in Atlanta, GA cost $60 or $65 without parking and without special ride access. That’s expensive!
I never thought I plan my trip around all the different trains and cable cars I want to take, but here we are!! I'm so excited to have a unique travel experience in this way.
Also the bark and meow when the trains passed each other was adorable! 😊😊
I’m glad you’re looking forward to your trip! It’s definitely fun to explore in such a unique way. Happy travels!
Love seeing hidden gems like this! It looks so well maintained!
It's amazing to show those parts of Japan where not many content creators go. This is the true beauty of Japan.
Thank you for showing us place in Japan that you can relax and have fun!!! So beautiful!!

Honestly, the part I look forward to each and every of your video is the food and/or eating part. Thank you for bringing us the views of the foods.
I salute these drivers for bringing joy to their passengers. Enduring so much whimsy on a daily basis must be a challenge! 😂
Absolutely, they're real heroes! Their efforts make every ride memorable. 😄
Oh, I'm sure getting paid for it helps to endure it.

My parents in law lived in Ikoma for years, so I've ridden this amazing train a few times.
That's really cool! It must bring back memories.
@@experience_japan thanks for making the video. For years I've wondered why more people don't know about it. Hopefully this will give Ikoma a few extra visitors.

These cable cars are amazing! I love how they look like 😻 🐕 amd 🎂. Thank you for taking us here!
The view is absolutely stunning, thanks for showing us
What a super place, perfect for smaller kids to go to get on rides! Love the cable cars, so original
It's a fantastic spot for little ones to enjoy rides! The cable cars add a unique touch-glad you loved them!
How charming & cute for parents & their kids. Even adults can enjoy these rides.
I didn't realise Osaka was such a sprawling metropolis. Also I laughed at the WHATS THAT oh it's a squirrel as a snail.
Your trip today is so beautiful that my heart aches of jealousy! ❤
What a lovely day in a beautiful place! I particularly liked pedalling through the canopy of cherry blossoms. (And reading about overcoming adversity) Thank you!
You noticed I have been reading "The Power of Adversity"! Very astute, lol.
All three cable cars were cute.
The views from the amusement park is incredible. The day pass price was very reasonable since you can ride as much as you want.
You're lucky you can go to a place like that.
Thanks, Scott! I feel really fortunate to have access to such a place. The cable cars and the views are indeed highlights. Glad you enjoyed the video!
The cat cable Car reminds me of Elton John 😂
What an adorable trip idea..
Two of your videos have now convinced me i need to stay overnight in Osaka when i come back to Japan in late October. This looks like a lot of fun, and will be a nice quiet place to check out.
Thanks for a good trip is fun😊
Awesome! That's going on my list of places to visit 👍
Glad to hear that! You'll love it there!
your approach to creating content is refreshingly original!
Thanks for the kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you find it original!
Nice job on the ice cream, look seriously delish!

This was relaxing and lovely! Spring is just arriving in New Hampshire, so we are seeing buds and early flowers and flowering plants like forsythia and some trees with blossoms.

It's a Beautiful experience 😇
Thank you fpr this video and greetings from Germany. 😄🙃
This is so adorable it brought tears to my eyes 😊
Japan is virtual Heaven
I was surprised to see that there are houses built and occupied right NEXT to the cable car tracks.
Yes, it might feel like "embarrasing" to enjoy rides alone as an adult but life is too short for worrying about things like that! As you said, you travelled to be there so why not and enjoy your time there as much as you like :D I still like amusemement rides as an fellow adult, however I do skip some rides, I've noticed that my stomach can't handle some of the rides that I was able to handle as a kid haha.

Thank you for the kind words! Next time, I'll definitely explore the haunted house and share the experience. Greetings to Germany!
Thank you for this video. I'll probably never get to go there (considering it is a bit distance from Osaka and if I ever went to Japan it would probably be Tokyo.).
Still, I liked seeing the park.
I wish I could one day visit it.
Great video as always.I'm always happy when you post a new video.
Another great video thanks. A very beautiful scenic area, and I now crave an ice cream even though its 1030pm !!
Thanks for watching! There’s never a wrong time for ice cream, right? Glad you enjoyed the scenery!
So cute & fun 🎉😮
Great trip. Finally you visited this place.
Beautiful ❤
That cat train Ghibli movie " my neighbour totoro" it was such an amazing movie and when you go to arcade I'm thinking not again you will regret then after one game you leave , nice 👍🏼👍🏼 and that place is also nice in this season.
I'm glad you enjoyed "My Neighbor Totoro" and the arcade experience! It's great to hear you liked the seasonal ambiance of the place too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 👍🏼👍🏼
Seems like nice place and cable car
Thank you sir for this content!
There used to be some older/retro amusement parks (Kiddieland, Santa’s Village) near where I grew up, Chicago. I think they’ve been torn down. Sad.
Thank you for sharing that memory! It’s always nostalgic to remember places from our past.

I hope on one of your adventures, you will stop by Monster Hunter themed cafe for meal & show off the place. 😊
I love it, thank you for this video 😊😊😊
Man, I'm a dude in my 30's and watching this, as fun as it is, makes me think I'm following him around on a date as his girlfriend.
As a swiss Man, used to swiss Funiculars, I don't see the "steep" in this one. we would've most likely done that incline with a Rack Railway....
Worlds steepest, both Rack Railway (Pilatusbahn, 48° Incline) and Funicular (Stoosbahn, 47° Incline) are located here....

I had so much fun watching this video that I dread to think what would have happened if I had actually tried an owl or a log😁 I would definetely visit a haunted house 👻

I wanna go here!
You should!
just wonderful and amazing 😍

Totoro, To-to-ro!
You can on-ly see him when you're ve-ry young!.."
Sorry for the weird questions, what type of wrist watch are you using?
It got me curious about it after seeing a few of your videos.😅 i love your videos, some day i will travel there..some day.
Thanks!! I'm using AppleWatch 😄
Looks like a great place to visit! Btw what is the book you are reading about?
10:16 I CAN HEAR THE WONDERFUL PRECURE ENDING SONG!!!!!!!
The titular image and the first featured is most likely a Hamster or Mouse. 🐹🐹🐭🐭
What a wonderful place to spend a day. Unlike the UK where they charge an arm and a leg to get in and expensive food.
neighbour totoro vibes
I love it
Absolutely fanfriggingtastic ✌️ ❤😊
This video was a lot of fun to watch.
PLEASE PLEASE can you take us to the Team Lab Museum?
😂 that's the funny train I've never ride
Another great video. What is the best way to communicate with you about our upcoming trip?
Very nice video, likes from me!!
Thanks for the visit
Ctfu at "MIKE" It very likely could mean something different in Japanese but it's funny to me as an American bc its such a basic common American name for a human n its being given to an adorable looking cable car cat😂😹😻
Maybe i should move to japan. I am searching for happiness
When are you next going to do another capsule hotel video
I'm planning one soon! Stay tuned.
Ok thanks for letting me know
well those cat dog trolleys have speakers to make the sounds
Everytime I think of Nara I think of Nara Dreamland, that amusement park that copied Disneyland
Why feel embarrassed riding kiddie rides? I did it in Magic Kingdom and could care less what people think. I sang along the Snow White and Seven Dwarves ride and was excited like a little kid on the Winnie the Pooh ride. Screw what others think as long as you’re having fun!
Absolutely, enjoying yourself is what matters most! I love your spirit and am inspired to just have fun on my next park visit. Cheers to more carefree adventures!
@@experience_japan I hope to visit Japan one day, and I’ll keep this retro part in mind.
By the way, i’m blow away by the prices! $24 for a day ticket of unlimited rides is a greta deal. It costs that much to just park in some parks here. I believe we paid as much (if not more) in Disney World for parking. How much do the tickets to Disneyland cost in Japan?
Regular tickets in Six Flags (poor man’s Disney) in Atlanta, GA cost $60 or $65 without parking and without special ride access. That’s expensive!
You didn't play Mario Kart :O
schade, daß anscheinend nur wenige leute da hingehen
Looks very similar to Ninja ranger's bus.
🇦🇺👌

7:30 is that an uber eats bag she needs to make her delivery😂

It’s a bit Erie without people 😮
Wait, cable cars "Doremi" and "Sweet"?
...Touhou?!
