Eki Hunter
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 15 เม.ย. 2022
Hi! I'm the Eki Hunter. I'm an amateur cycling and train station enthusiast.
I live in Tokyo and in 2016 I started cycling around Japan trying to visit every rail station in a project that I call the Eki Hunt. I document my riding with selfies at each station and sometimes videos. As of January 2025, I've visited over 4100 stations in 17 prefectures. I have completed the Tokyo Metropolitan area and am slowly spreading outward from there. I am now working on Episode VI, which is the next line of western prefectures: Ichikawa, Fukui, Shiga, Mie, Nara, and Wakayama.
The videos are mostly me riding around, at or between the rail stations, chatting away. I think the best way to watch is to go to the 'Playlists' section and watch "All Videos" chronologically.
The real documentation of the Eki Hunt is my Google Maps blogs. You can find my map/blogs in the 'links' section which contain a lot more info and commentary. Feel free to follow along.

The climb seems to be very tiring, but the place is interesting!
@@cesarmoocasp3734 i can ride for 6-7 hours and feel fine. But one slope or flight of stairs that I WALK… so tired! Lol
It seems that the wind was very strong, but the video was very good!
@@cesarmoocasp3734 yes, these few days of riding in Mie have had really strong winds. But, I ride through it! 😅
Is this from Mie to chubu airport near Nagoya? Curious how long the trip is if so?
@@wischfulthinking yes. 45 min from the Tsu ferry terminal to the airport. Then about 5-7min walk to the terminal
@ planning on moving to Toba in a few years & all our family are around Nagoya so this will be very useful.
You are a physically very well prepared person! Congratulations! It doesn't seem to me that the region is totally pleasant for cycling.
@@cesarmoocasp3734 it is cold this time of year and these few days of riding were very windy at times. But good clothes and heat pads in the shoes and gloves go a long way
I really liked the video, but I was surprised by the solution they had for the third platform.
@@cesarmoocasp3734 it is quite a trek from the entrance lol
I found this channel looking for video about the kowada station, but I fumbled with so many interesting videos.
@@cesarmoocasp3734 I visited Kowada Station a few years ago. Amazing spot! I made a video while there. If you check in the Shizuoka playlist you can find it, if you haven’t already.
boats and paddly things...
@@emissaryenglishtv3306 a way with words lol
Beware of that traffic
Always
Amazing! Well done!
Thanks!
Nice! Not futile!
Thanks K! Indeed, all went well
I guess you needed a larger bike seat to carry the balls it took to do that! Looks fun and terrifying all at once.
@@flavordavius It was fun! I used to be really scared of descents, still a bit heavy on the brakes, but getting better!
Beautiful!!!
