I've been to Japan a couple of years ago. It's a beatiful country! And the fact that ALMOST NO ONE talks on the phone on public transport is truly amazing!
Japanese trains are fantastic! I love all trains, both new and old, but the Shinkansen is just special. Considering the poor state of trains in my country, I am in awe of yours, and feel a bit envious too. 😊
Hello Itsuka-san!💚 If I ever get to visit Japan, it will have to be a very long visit because I could spend a week just riding trains!🚄 Thanks for the video!
Japan really nailed train travel. I have never been in Japan, but all videos prove it: these Shinkansen trains are especially luxurious, they bring back the premium feeling train travel once had. Here in The Netherlands, trains are frequent, but they are the most expensive train network in the world when compared to average wage, and trains and stations are not nearly as clean and spacious as these Japanese trains. Seriously impressive. And by the way, the unmanned store would be vandalized in no time here in The Netherlands, and everywhere else in Europe too. Cameras or not, give it two weeks and everything is gone. Doing this in Japan is just not something people think about. Also impressive.
I'd be afraid of the food spoiling if I didn't eat the bento box soon. I don't know how people can go several hours before eating one. Those houses by the train crossing are perfect for train lovers
Watching the connection with Hayabusa reminds me of the 4 hr ride I did from Shin Hakodate-Hokuto back to Tokyo at the end of my holiday. It was such a wonderful experience, very comfortable and a lot less stressful than a flight would have been
I was riding the Komachi last Sunday during my trip through Japan. Riding backwards in a Shinkansen was quite funny. And I have to say I love the colour and form of the Komachi
For those wondering, the name mini-Shinkansen comes from the fact that these trains are narrower than other Shinkansen. Since these run on lines and through stations that were designed for the narrow gauge railroads common in Japan, a standard Shinkansen would be to wide and not fit in with existing infrastructure on such a line. Once it reaches Morioka and is connected with the Hayabusa, the mini-Shinkansen will extend steps when being in a statin to ensure that passengers have no trouble with the gap that would otherwise exists between the train and platform.
This is not actually correct. If you look it up, the mini-shinkansen are made by converting the narrow gauge to standard gauge like the rest of the shinkansen. The mini term may refer to the fact that converted lines are limited to a range of lower speeds, because of the original narrow gauge route.
@@RatioComputers-wz9tu both of you are correct. The rolling stock used on the Akita Shinkansen are indeed narrower - hence you will notice a 2x2 seating - as against a 3x2 seating. This is because they indeed travel alongside narrow gauge railway. But you are correct - they themselves travel on standard gauge - that was converted from original narrow gauge
The term "gauge" is imprecise. The _track gauge_, or distance between wheels, has been extended to standard gauge from the conventional Japanese narrow gauge. The _loading gauge_, or maximum height and width of the cars is still limited to less than the standard Shinkansen loading gauge. Standard Shinkansen loading gauge is, at maximum points, 3400 mm wide and 4500 mm tall, versus standard Japanese conventional loading gauge at 3000 mm wide and 4100 mm tall.
I appreciate you blurring peoples faces out. I get real icky watching videos like this where the video uploader doesn't blur out unsuspecting people's faces. Thank you.
Great trip. Looks like Komachi when in Akita or all of these place in this video (except Morioka Station and Tokyo Station) running on same track with Conventional Train which is Narrow Gauge Track.
I didn't used to be able to drive backwards either. But that has now improved or even changed completely. But of course I also prefer to drive forwards. The bento box looked really appetising.
@5:24 - the backward travel , is it between Akita and Omagari ? At least that is what I can make out from Google Maps and Wikipedia - there is no mention of Odate - which appears to be a station further north and there is no Shinkansen there. Can you clear this up ?
Great video! I have a question if you please - where do nose cowlings go when the two engines connect? If you get the change could you please video that part of the connection process? Thank you very much for taking my question. 😊
Been on this train. Everything is so quick. Compared to Switzerland there they have also 30% on a 1m gauge but their country is too small for more than 200km/h. But their trains are open with the most popular payment being an app that covers all public transport.
At the start screen, you can see a green banner on top, that appears to be the language selection, offering English as an option and I assume also Chinese and Korean, but it was too out of focus to make out the other languages.
Watching this video, the story is true that the Japanese have to stop at open level crossings and look left and right before passing because many cars have been hit by trains due to the malfunctioning of their systems!
Es ist ja interessant, das es im Zug auch englische Ansagen gibt aber wie finde ich mich beim Fahrkartenschalter und der Zugzielanzeige zurecht wenn da alles nur in Japanisch steht?
Should have visited Ōkama Station during the winter. At that station, you can see eastbound _Komachi_ trains stop in a special area, where the trains are sprayed with warm water to remove the snow and ice buildup traveling from Akita before it reaches Morioka.
Can the cashless payment machines be used with Suica? If so then I'm good 😁 (my carditcard is not really meant for small payments due to provisions on overseas payments. Besides, paying by creditcard is weird to me in the first place, because I'm from Europe)
В Америке проблемы с железными дорогами. Они там в упадке. Переезды закрывают прямо пред самим поездом, а не заранее. После переезда могут ещё и светофор поставить. .
盛岡出身です。
今は関東に住んでいますが、新幹線の連結や切り離しは帰省するたびにかならず見届けます。
何度見てもワクワクしますよね！
Watching trains always brings aesthetic pleasure. Trains in Japan are wonderful.
Thank you 😆 Akita Shinkansen is very beautiful in color and fits very well in the Japanese landscape!
I've been to Japan a couple of years ago. It's a beatiful country! And the fact that ALMOST NO ONE talks on the phone on public transport is truly amazing!

いつもありがとうございます！
東北新幹線と秋田新幹線のご紹介、ありがとうございます。
仙台在住としてすごくうれしいです！
東北新幹線のはやぶさは、仙台東京間はいつも一杯でやまびこを使う時も多いです。。。
3列の真ん中席も結構埋まってるんですよね。
車内販売があるはやぶさはいいですよね！これだけは、ずっと残ってほしいです！
いつもありがとうございます😆2,3年前よりもはやぶさ混んでる印象でした。仙台駅で真ん中の席も完全に埋まったので、私も今度行く時はやまびこ使ってみます💡のぞみ新幹線はグリーン車以外車内販売しなくなったらしいので、はやぶさはいつまでも続けてほしいです🚄
昔、子供だった時代に新幹線を片手だけで止める夢を見て、いつかはその夢をと思っていましたが、あのスピードを前にしっこちびりそうになった自分がいたことにこの動画をみて思い出しました
止めようとする前に死ぬわよ、、、
新幹線の踏切初めて見たー！🎉
新幹線というよりミニ新幹線という在来線と同じところを走る新幹線なのです。新幹線のレール幅に変えていて在来線も一緒に走るのが特徴です。法律上では在来線扱いらしいですね！
旅をする時、とても良い情報だと思います。 感謝いたします.
ありがとうございます！
Огромное спасибо! Словно сам проехал на таком великлепном и красивом поезде!❤❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed taking this trip with you from Akita to Tokyo. Thank you for sharing it with us
What a wonderful trip. Thank you for taking me along. 😊
What a beautiful country. Trains always run late in Britain, or cancelled. Love Japan very much
I love the trains in Japan. Thank you for sharing.
😊 Traveling in Shinkansen in so nice. Japan 🇯🇵 Train are the Best 🍒🍒🍒
Japanese trains are fantastic! I love all trains, both new and old, but the Shinkansen is just special. Considering the poor state of trains in my country, I am in awe of yours, and feel a bit envious too. 😊
Great video! Thank you. Greetings from the Czech Republic. Akita Shinkansen might be the best looking train for me!😊

踏切の音はとても懐かしいです. 私は昭和49年 宣教師でした . あの音は一生忘れないです。
最近の新幹線はカラフルで凄いですね✨️🚄
私は、だいぶ前の0系しか乗った事が無くて、乗り心地もきっと良いんでしょうね🎶
撮り鉄とかは沢山、居てましたかぁ～😊
So very clean, much better than amarika, where there are alots of zombies
I'd be afraid of the food spoiling if I didn't eat the bento box soon. I don't know how people can go several hours before eating one.
Those houses by the train crossing are perfect for train lovers
Great and interesting sharing. I love it. Keep up the good work. Thanks.👍👍👍😍😍😍
Thank you 😆 I will do my best to make sure you enjoy my next video 🎊

A train in Japan arrived late??? Wow!
社畜⁉️😇の私にとっては旅行すらままならないので毎回楽しみに見ています❣️今の新幹線のフォルムはかっこいい👍時代の進化を感じます🤗
H5 has to be the most beautiful bullet train I have ever seen, and this is coming from a guy who loves steam engines.
はやぶさ号が車内販売してるの嬉しいです
東北に行く機会は多分これからも無いですが
のぞみ号などは車内販売グリーン車以外消えてしまったので悲しいです😢
Thanks from Russia❤️👍
After a long time, it was fun to travel by train in Japan
Cookies were cute! Interesting jointed arms on the crossing.
クッキー全部食べちゃったの面白かったです😊
この回は今日見たのですが、大舘踏み切りの近くに住んで居るものです。近くまで来てたんですね。🤭
อยากให้มีรถไฟแบบนี้ที่เมืองไทยเร็วๆจัง ขอบคุณที่พาเที่ยวชม รักจาก Thailand💕💕😊😊
Perjalanan yang menarik dan menyenangkan...
”サキホコレ”って、初めて聞きました。
東北のお米にしては、粒は大きめですね。
因みに、僕の常用米は”あきたこまち”です。
駅弁、定番の和風幕の内。
こういうのが、一番エエんですよ！
確かにゲートが無いと、引きますね…。
速度は、ウチ等んとこの新快速位でしょ？
踏切越しに、在来線を走る新幹線見れるって、何か不思議やね。
車内販売、やっとんですね。
アイスは、誰かの面の皮の様な、無敵の硬さです。
冷凍みかんとかは、あるんですかね？
船もエエけど、電車旅もエエなぁ…。
p.s 秋田犬のクッキー、絶対買うと思ってました！
いつもありがとうございます✨秋田犬クッキーは見た瞬間即決でした笑 車内販売テンションあがりますよね💡特に抹茶アイスが今回あったので、歓喜でした✨夏は冷凍みかんもいいですね🍊 新幹線っていつも橋の上を通ってて走っている姿を遠くで見てるイメージでしたが、秋田新幹線は間近で見れるので、楽しかったです✨
Super video! Thanks! Tamás from Hungary
Live in USA. Enjoying riding our trains but yours are amazing.
めっちゃ映像綺麗で気付けば全編見てました！！！
撮影機材はiPhoneとかですか？？

yes like i said everytime i love japan ..... thanks to japaneses engenering for this train its strong .... love from morocco
Thank you for watching your channel with Burmese subtitles. The Japanese landscape is amazingly beautiful❤
Great trip. Looks like Komachi when in Akita or all of these place in this video (except Morioka Station and Tokyo Station) running on same track with Conventional Train which is Narrow Gauge Track.
先日私も大曲駅からこまちに乗って仙台駅まで行きました。やっぱり美味しい駅弁は新幹線好きにはたまらないですね😅
This was very relaxing to watch and Japan as usual, seems close to perfect.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Acho incrível a grande velocidade que os trens-las atingem nas suas longas viagens!🇧🇷🙌
岩手懐かしい✨✨✨
Seeing the Shinkansen on the same rail line as the slow speed train... Wow. That's kind of wild. Perfect timing
I love the Design of the Shinkansen, wonderful Trains. Thank you for a nice Video😊
❤ все деревья цветут! Так красиво😊!
The train obviously slows significantly for the crossing 👍
I didn't used to be able to drive backwards either. But that has now improved or even changed completely. But of course I also prefer to drive forwards. The bento box looked really appetising.
Viaggio in treno veramente stupendo❤e bellissimi paesaggi atraversati😮😮
こういう草原や野原を走る新幹線好き
秋田駅の駅弁
E3こまちとE6こまち
が印刷された駅弁あった
因み秋田と山形は
在来線区間を走ってる時は
新幹線ではなく
あくまで在来線特急の扱いです
Thank you for the English descriptions . 👍😁
i though the Shinkansen didnt have any level crossings, really interesting
@5:24 - the backward travel , is it between Akita and Omagari ? At least that is what I can make out from Google Maps and Wikipedia - there is no mention of Odate - which appears to be a station further north and there is no Shinkansen there. Can you clear this up ?
很不錯👍👍👍
Thank you!!😆
Cool, new video. 👏😀
Thank you😆🎊
Все гениально удобно и просто, все удивляет и превосходные впечатления от Японии.
今日は遅すぎる映像を見ましたね。乗り物酔いは大丈夫ですか？体元気に旅行してください。❤❤
Ach ja, Bahnfahren kann so schön sein.
Danke!
秋田新幹線は赤にグレーを合わせた色合いで、めちゃくちゃオシャレですね。
このカラーを考えた人はセンスありますね。
お疲れ様ですm(_ _)m🍵
僕は岩手の一関が地元なので東北新幹線はよく乗りますが、秋田新幹線は乗ったこと無かった！
ライブに出るために山が新幹線は乗ったことあります！
盛岡から秋田に抜けるのか🤔初めて知りました(*^^*)
ありがとうございます！東北は色々な新幹線があって楽しいですよね💡TH-cam始めるまで東北に行ったことがなかったので、はじめてはやぶさを見た時は感動しました！秋田新幹線も色が可愛くてめちゃ可愛いです😆

Haven't been in Japan since I lived in Yokohama in 1967. The pace was slower then.
Bonobo or a Blimp? Whittle it past looking up with 2 sticks. 2?
Great video! I have a question if you please - where do nose cowlings go when the two engines connect? If you get the change could you please video that part of the connection process? Thank you very much for taking my question. 😊
They open like vertical eyelids and recede inside the frame on left and right.
@@gerardacronin334 Thank you for answering my question. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. 🙂
whats your device for recording ?
That's a beautiful train
Akita Shinkansen at Tazawako line section.
I've got "Densha De Go! Professional" nightmare here after got 3-5 second late for each station.
"Densha De Go!" is doing something very interesting lol.
Did the Shinkansen crash into anything else at that train-crossing yet?
Excellent! 👍👍
❤❤ de nouvelles découvertes que je regarde avec plaisir en compagnie de ma famille un grand merci de vos fans de France
踏切のたもとの喫茶店では窓際を走るこまちをコーヒーを飲みながら見ることが出来ます。
こんな踏切が有るんですね😄東海道新幹線は浜松車両基地の踏切が有名ですね。

Does the machine at the Morioka conbini display English or Japanese only?

Far too much packing materials used in disposable food wrapping. Nice train though.

Ok but slow speed…no more problem
Very civilised! Unattended shop. Can't see that working in the UK. The school kids would run riot.
I really want to take the Shinkansen, sudah subscribe 😊
It is interesting that eating smelly food is okay on Japanese trains, whereas eating food with neutral smells is encouraged on European trains
12:55 bukannya kereta cepat dengan kereta konvensional lebar rel nya berbeda?
Это опасно! Если бы это было в Америке там бы застрял грузовик и в него врезался поезд 😂
В Америке проблемы с железными дорогами. Они там в упадке. Переезды закрывают прямо пред самим поездом, а не заранее. После переезда могут ещё и светофор поставить. .
Wow 😍
I think I read Morioka is fast becoming the number 1 city in Japan people would like to retire to.
