I like about Japanese trains is that they are not necessarily just functional. There is attention shown to art/beauty as well.
No one gives a jack what you like
@@mdmohitulhaque8648 I love your fake channel with no content. Don't worry...someday a girl might talk to you.
@@RandysRides I still don’t get the sense behind those ad hominem punchlines
Japanese design is fantastic. Look at the 2022 Toyota Century. It is gorgeous and yet has that Japanese style.
@@kevinfestner6126 Absolutely, like the Lexus LFA and so many others I could name.
Your production quality is stunning as always. Seeing the Akita Shinkansen zoom through the snowy landscape is amazing.
My wife and I would like to thank you for all of your videos and your hard work on creating them. We hope to travel to Japan and take the trains to see the beautiful country. Thank you again. 😊
Hello, Morioka. I miss you. You were good to me when I lived in Iwate.
It's why we love Akita in the winter. Prepares us for snow matsuri in Sapporo in a few days.
The snowy landscape from the shinkansen is absolutely stunning. I wished I could have experienced that when I visited in December, 2019.
Ahh, Tazawako, good memories 😊 I went there in the middle of winter, to rent a car. I drove up to Nyuto Onsen and stayed the night at Tsuru-no-yu, it's that one ryokan with the famous outdoor bath 🤩
Those trees at the station looked so ghost like covered in snow and really painted a picture of the area. Great journey thanks. Bushyboy Oz.
7:32 Akita Shinkansen's iconic chime. Stays the same for at least two decades. 😊
My favorite memory from our Japan trip in March of 2017 was going from Tokyo station to Yamagata. It was clear in Tokyo and about 3/4 of the way we went through a tunnel and when we got out of the tunnel, snow was everywhere. It was gorgeous and wish I could go back.
Stunning landscape! Thanks for taking us with you!
That was very relaxing and the most enjoyable trip. Japan is beautiful.
Where I live it doesn't snow so seeing the snow covered hills and fields looks so beautiful.
Wow! I've never seen snow-covered bullet train! This looks so cool and 神々しい！！！！
As an owner of an Akita dog, I would love to travel to Akita prefecture to see where the breed originated from.
Beautiful trains and i like the colours, the ride was smooth and looks warm inside.. The snow scenery was amazing and looked lovely and the buildings..
I really enjoyed that. Nicely paced, no annoying music, and some beautiful scenery. Thank you! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your journey. Beautiful scenery! Have a great day❄️❤️
3:10 Just a herd of Komachi lol 😆
What a beautiful train ride, and I've never seen a snow covered bullet train before!
High speed through the snow is both exciting and relaxing!
Always impressed by your videos and really enjoy coming with you on your travels. As a fan of trains Japan and Switzerland are probably up there for me. Living in Switzerland I look foward to one day be able to travel to japan and experience the culture and people there and travel as much as possible on that beautiful country.
Beautiful train, beautiful scenery. Nice job, Kuga-san!
My word what a splendid ride. Thank you for your outstanding and hard work. God bless.
I love seeing the speed gauge as you travel. Can you also add the temperature of your destinations? I wonder how cold it is in Akita and how that changes as you reach Tokyo….
Thanks for the ride
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing Japan!
I really like this journey. It's so calm and soothing for my mind. I am looking forward to new videos from you! Thanks! : )
Beautiful trip....wish our trains in the USA could be as nice, like they used to be.
Great video. Beautiful scenery!!
The red on the E6 series simply looks stunning in the snow, thanks for sharing
Thank you for a great video again, very informative and well made. I love the journeys and the trains are amazing. The new shape is beautiful, I understand it was designed like this to stop the “boom” when the train went through certain tunnels. The idea of the shape was taken from a birds beak, the Kingfisher.
Was just flying this route in microsoft flight simulator yesterday, live weather and it looks just like this! amazing!
The JR-pass Kyushu is exceptionally available to residents of Japan through March 2022. If you want. 九州のJRパスは、例外的に2022年3月まで日本に住んでいる人が利用できます。もし、あなたが望むなら。
That's interesting, but why just for resident's?
I enjoy your videos. The landscape is lovely.
Great! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed.
Looks beautiful.... but I'm in Canada, and I can't wait for spring !!! lol
No one cares.
Great trip
Scenic and Memorable. I thank you for sharing these wonderful moments. Respectfully, Grace
Pulling out of Morioka must be immensely satisfying for the train driver. "Right. Now it's time to make the donuts." :)
Well it looked great that ride so smooth and silky!
I never knew Japan had so much snow till watching videos from Japan. I am learning something new every video. Thank you.
Great video
Japan is so beautiful 🌷🌷💕💕
ありがとう！ いつものように楽しかったです！ (I hope Google translate did a good job. :-)
良くできました💮💮💮💮💮💮💮
花丸スタンプ沢山入れすぎかな🤔😅

About the same speed as the TGV gen 1, 300 kph. I was wondering. But, merd, much cleaner than a french rail station. No tagged walls.
Wandarful 👍👍👍
Great tour.
Hey I love your videos thank you so much for making them! 🥰
Do you also like German trains or have you ever tried them? 😃
❤️
From winter to spring in four hours ;)
これわすごいですね!✨🎥
Beautiful!
I have liked your videos always a great ride love it keep up the great videos
Outstanding video. One of your best.
Thanks for the ride, next give us a close image of QR Codes at train seats, to know more about. See you.
I love train travel, it's very romantic.
Thank you, enjoyed your video as always.
Feels like we are there. The trains from Toronto to Sudbury Ontario take 10 hrs. or 1 hour on by plane Dash 8 -400s.
That's a beautiful trip. I want to see Akita. Is Lake Tazawa worth seeing?
Great video as always.Thanks for taking us along!
InsyaAllah one fine day,I will travel with this train in snow..like this
Funny that I'd click on this video because I just got a Namahage print on Washi paper earlier. 0:33
so relaxing!
Beautiful ride !
Looks amazing!
That train looks tip top 😘
Fantastic scenery in the snow. Maybe next time show us the gandouts in the seat pockets hust fir interest sake. I love the bullet trains so smooth znd comfy. Thanks. Bushynoy Oz.
It's my wish to travel Japan once in my life
Nice
Nice video. Pity you didn't take an e3 series train. They are my favorite! Still the e6 looks sharp as well!
Yo Kuga-san, a route map or anything to help us visualize the route or locate the destination on a map will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
So JR usually runs on 1067mm narrow gauge and Shinkansen on 1435mm standard gauge. Is the line from Akita to Morioka dual gauge like the Seikan Tunnel?
the conventional line was re-gauged to standadd so that the shinkansen can travel
@@MeatyLegend thanks for the info!
Someday I hope I visit Japan.
Interesting. I wonder if the normal lines are standard or narrow gauge. If narrow gauge, is the rail line itself dual gauge?
I'm hypnotised with such videos !! Thank you !!! Can we know the name of the mountains at 8.45 please ? I'm watching the road on Maps ... Thank you once more time for this fantastic video :)
Thank you Kuga :)
сухопутный железный дракон пешеход.но скоростной дракон друг человека
Wooww.. Nice
Is it the newest Shinkansen ? I loooooove its nose !!!!
I would sleep so hard I would break some kind of record
I would watch the entire journey uncut footage
Hi, what app do you use for getting the speed info? Thanks and all the best from Slovakia
It's the Speedometer 55 GPS Speed & HUD, made by Stanislav Dvoychenko.
thank you.. like your videos and following next..
Does this train covered by JR pass?
Are tickets usually that expensive in Japan or is it because it's a bullet train?
Shinkansen tickets are pretty expensive. Standard line is cheaper but much slower. I don't know how it compares to typical income figures but it's not cheap.
@@lars7935 Ah, I understand now, thank you
Nice video! I guess I am not a train buff but I would have just flown from Akita to Haneda. $150 for a 1 hr flight... rather than a 5 hr journey.
Does the 1 hour include the dwell time at the airport on both ends and the frequent air delays? Either way, I'm a train guy, so I'll take the five hours 🤣
@WanJae42 for domestic flights there is no ridiculous 7 hr dwell time. It is more like 1 hr. So total 3 hr. Still save time. But if you are a train person have at it.
but akita airport is not close to downtown akita city. i haven't flown there yet but looking at maps it says that the bus is about 40 mins travel time. if you have the rail pass it is lkkely cheaper overall for a roundtrip, and you got to ride the other trains
What does the Shinkansen trains do when there is an earthquake? I was there in Japan in 2019 and took the Shinkansen several times and I was curious to know how it would handle that situation.
At the time of the earthquake, if they are in an area affected by it, they stop dead on their tracks. Once the quake is over they will proceed at lower speed to the nearest station and, depending on the size of the quake, either proceed slowly for the day while the tracks are checked, or if it was a large quake, stop running entirely until all the tracks and other infrastructure is checked. The checks are pretty quick - less than 24 hours usually.
@@iatsd Very interesting. Thank you
👍
Omagari switchback ? Google maps doesn´t show a rail layout for that or be changing trains ?
I was wondering is there a statue of an Akita in the station.
Komachi mean Belle
Like 👍
How many tracks are there on Tazawako Line? Masks shows only 1 track. How can you run a good train service with just 1 track?
With fast trains it doesn't matter that much, train will be off the section in few quarters of an hour and can bypass other trains on stations.
how do you learn those signs?
You mean japanese? Start by memorising hiragana and katakana. They are a sort of alphabet that is fundamental for learning the language properly. It's also not that difficult.
Kanji (the more complicated characters) come later and are usually introduced gradually. There are over 6000 Kanji though only around 2000 are needed to do things like read a newspaper.
I don't have any experience with online courses but there is a big community with plenty of online resources.
Also take a look if there are any classes in your area.
Red means stop. Green means go.
Backwards 😳
traveling backwards?
Let me guess, as to why the seats are opposite to the Direction of travel. Would it be because... if the train crashes (which is extremely unlikely for Shinkansen trains) or emergency stops, because of Earthquake. You will be thrust backwards into your seat, not head first, causing neck and head injury.
bro its 2022
you put 2021 lol
The video was filmed on December 20, 2021.
I always wondered why you never speak. Then I watched a channel with 2 Americans and they never shut up. I'm back but must say a word or 2 would be nice but I guess not.
too expensive.. no wonder it is empty
