Adrastheus I do thank you for station names. You was been very kind. With station names I can follow the train in Google Maps, so even the video becomes more interesting and enjoyable. Thank you.
I'm watching this sitting in my gamer chair with the back reclined a bit, and I'm also enjoying a cup of tea. Fully enjoying the trip. Rural scenery at its finest.
It is nice too see some rural Japan, not all built up and full of people. Also I find it interesting that some of the back yards of the houses by the tracks are just as junked out as many houses here in the USA. Also, I've seen several what appear to be abandoned builds near the tracks. And all the green houses and solar panels are nice to see. Thanks for puting this up. A real old school train video.
James Hart there are many, many, abandoned houses in rural japan. Usually the kids move to the city, both parents pass away and none of the kids are bothered with the house/farm because house/property prices in rural japan are tanking. Some local authorities are taking over the properties and selling them for 100¥ as long as you promise to do it up and live in it. Quite a few younger people are doing that to get away from the stress
japan is truly a land of contrasts, i was so surprised not buy the things i was expecting to see of course, but what was hidden on the other side of those expectations, it actually made me love and understand the country a lot more yeah
I am sick with Covid-19 and running a high fever. I have watched many hours of rail videos and your videos are by far the best that I have found. I enjoy the lighting of this one in particular.
Thanks, I have just watched this video over a couple of weeks of my spare time. Even though Japans bullet trains are impressive and a great way to get around the country, these trips are the best way to see Japan. Rural scenery and a relaxed and uncrowded pace. Love it and can't wait to get back again, off to Hokkaido in a couple of months, cheers
I had found a way to sort of live in Japan for two years! I joined the Air Force and lived there for two years. Oh, I was living in a barracks, but it was an old officer's quarters from WW II. I rode the commenter trains a LOT. So nice. You have to get away from the cities. Of course even the cities are interesting. However! I have noticed in these train videos of rural lines, the stations are always nearly empty of people! I am reminded of when I lived with my sister in the Appalachian mountains. so nice. But when I arrived she complained that most of her friends, outsiders to this area, who wanted to move away from the cities, moved away back to the cities. This are also had many empty houses and cabins, the local people moved to the cities. I watched a train video from Yokyo to the South near Yokohama. For miles and miles and miles and miles, I could see vast vast numbers of apartment buildings that were 15 to 30 floors high. *this* is where all of the villagers had moved to! These days life is Urban, usually in mega-cities, rat race or not! The article, "people are voting with their feet", says it all, all over the world people are ditching their small towns and cultures to be Urban dwellers. You gain a lot, but this comes with a stress-price, of course. choose!
nice clip about 4 hours in Japan I love it and you do every time a nice job ! thank you and " see " you again ! from the heavy snowing and cold Quebec Canada
Great video. I'm waching it and following the track on Google maps at the same time. I can zoom in and out to get an idea of the surrounding country. Excellent!
Very nice, I'm definitely getting a JR pass again next time I go to Japan, love the scenery. The train in this video can even take you back in time: 3:00:47
Wonderful journey through the Japanese territory. Beautiful view of a rural and urban area in the middle of a very mountainous terrain. Congratulations Japan!
Of all the cabride view video´s i think this is my most favourite one. So beautifull all those perfect buildings and those beautifull trees and nature with hills etc. so close to the Railway. Thank you railfan aunz for this ´GREAT´ upload!!!
I love your clips-they are so interesting. Thanks also for providing information in English-it really helps and is very informative. Best wishes. from Australia. :-)
The one thing that i love about these videos is that even though i dont have a passport to visit the country, i can just go on TH-cam and sightsee from there
Que bello país tienen y sobre todo una infrestructura que demuestra eficacia y organización.saludos desde méxico.ya quisiéramos tener un sistema de transporte cómo el que tienen ustedes.🇲🇽.👍.☺️.
I enjoyed this video, watched all 3 hours and 41 minutes of it. Few speed restrictions in the later part of the video. Interesting two train horn sounds, one sounds almost like steam engine sound. Very cool. Also a very long tunnel at 3:10:00
You always think of Japan as modern but the Fukuen Line is very much a rustic branch line.plus what looked like a disused station with the platform intact and it was now a private home.love the cherry 🍒 blossoms!
Very nice trip with beautiful rural views. Something that I was wondering is that if the driver was going too fast many times which triggered that loud alarm and made him stay in some stations longer to follow the time schedule. I recognized a lot of the track signals since I played a lot Densha de Go!.
I was wondering why the train blew its whistle when it did, and the noticed it was when there was a little square sign with a black "X" on a yellow background on the left, right before a crossing with no signals (lights or gate) would come up. So that sign was telling the driver to blow the whistle because an upcoming crossing had no way to warn that the train was coming. For example, check the 3:32:50 mark.
I'm trying to figure out why the horn is used like it is. He uses the horn at 38:24, but the tone at 39:06 sounds like a deadman alerter or something. He certainly doesn't honk at every crossing, and not even every crossing without lights and gates. And 40:36 which sounds like someone frantically ringing the doorbell? Is that an in-cab signaling warning?
I went to a language school in Japan for about 6 months in 2017 and damn this brings back so many memories! Imagine its evening, partially overcast and the train cars are mostly empty.. put on some of your favorite music to enhance the vibe and you could stare out that window and never get tired of the scenery going by! Sometimes after school I would miss my stop on purpose just to ride the train as far as I could in order to see more countryside. Man I gotta go back and finish my Japanese education one of these days.. its just so expensive :/ anyway, thanks for the awesome footage!
Does the ワンマン sign mean the train is operated by only one person? Also the guy at 1:36:25 who just stares at his phone and walks across the tracks while the train is approaching and the 列車が来ます sign is clearly flashing... talk about no self-preservation.
why is this part of the world so perfect? i saw no gang spray paints, no crappy neighborhoods , cute and adorable farms with small bridges and houses that had good roofs. man this is perfect
Some really nice houses. Pretty countryside, some not so nice places. I would love to do this stretch maybe 5 times but if I had to commute, it would make me nuts. Mind you lots of people have to commute for over an hour to work so this route has some nice green views. Thanks for posting.
Awesome video, love the Cherry blossoms (Sakura) along the line, beautiful scenery. Great audio capture of the diesel engines and track control sounds. Nice to see some real Japan.
In Japan, there are many fools who cross the signal without confirming safety while looking at the smartphone like this. I am very embarrassed as the same Japanese. I'm sorry.
Even though I personally have a clean backyard. I didn't see any backyards in this video that really looked bad. Also, I didn't see any litter along the railway or roadways either, which is very refreshing to see. I have seen many horrible backyards here in the U.S. Very nice video!
This is quite fascinating seeing so much rural Japan. The mix of modern and that distinct Japanese style architecture. So much detritus in these rural areas too, I know a lot of places are abandoned, but its still interesting to see such decay and age. It did weird me a little that the rail line isn't in its own little fenced corridor though, like here in Australia, to prevent people crossing it like it seems so common in Japan.
looked it up on google earth and what surprised me the most was that e.g. some of the largest skyscrapers on one side of the track and only 150m on the other side of the track you kind of see small family houses; Anyway surprised to see many small residential buildings so far in the downtown area, and even more to see a railroad crossing right at a busy rail station
Great video. I really liked it, rural areas in Japan are very interesting to observe, lots of interesting to see, esp the cherry trees were so beautiful and then I was kinda surprised at how much there were palm trees along the line. I'm definitely going to watch more of your videos. Thank you for sharing! ありがとう！私はこのビデオがたくさん好きです, 美しいラインと風景.健康を維持する.
What's the little bell that keep going off when arriving at some of the stations? And what's the computer voice that says something very quiet as well when arriving at every station?
The loud bell basically tells the driver that the next signal is red and that if he/she does not hit the 'Confirm' button within a time limit, an emergency brake would apply automatically, so pay attention. The recorded female voice announces the next stop and related info like a connecting train.
If, by "computer voice," you are referring to a male voice that repeats several times, it is urging the driver to verify certain matters such as "Is the train on time?".

Funny how the driver's seat hangs over nothing as the train crosses the bridge at around 36:00. Beautiful video and very nice scenery. Thanks for posting!
FANTASTIC ! I AM VERY EMOTIONED TO SEE A LOT "SAKURA" . SO BEAUTIFUL TIME ! I WAS LUCKY ONE THAT I'VE SEEN THEM SO NEAR ME . THANK YOU FOR SHARE THIS GREAT IMAGES . GOOD JOB .
absolutely wonderful viewing. A Japan rarely seen - the small rural villages, plenty of land under farming, lots of mountains and plenty of solar panels! Thank you so much for posting from South Australia
This is the best seat in any train. Whenever I see such videos of Japan, I'm amased by the cleanliness of the streets or public areas. What is so different in the japanese culture and lacking in others?
Hmmm... wikipedia sez the points will be forced to move, if the switch is not locked, when doing this trailing-point movement: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_switch . Even though it worked, it seems sketchy.
See the "S" sign on the switch post? Those are spring-loaded switches, and they're designed to be run through safely. If you look you'll notice there are two spring switches at the opposite ends of the station, each pointing to a different track: that allows trains to pass each other without the need for any form of active switch command, and it's a very common arrangement on secondary lines with low speed and axial load.
14:37 the hacienda style building on the left with the three (3) arches is like general douglas macarthur's home in brisbane queensland and up on stilts like a "queenslander" style house
Interesting. But why is someone yelling "Bank angle! Bank angle!" as the train pulls into Aki-Yaguchi Station at 15:01? And at 15:14, it sounds like someone is yelling "Pull up!" This is a train, not a crashing airplane. "Bank angle! Terrain! Too low! Pull up! Overspeed! Stall!" are not warnings I expect to hear on a train.
Amazing. No wires above (like many of their other lines) and no third rail (like in NYC). Is this train fuel-driven, or do they recharge the batteries whenever they reach the last stop on the line?
At the 1:55:05 mark, right after the train passes the crossing, you can see a large bird (goose, swan?) running across the tracks, and then the train slowed way down immediately after that.

Something that I was wondering is that if the driver was going too fast many times which triggered that loud alarm and made him stay in some stations longer to follow the time schedule.
I recognized a lot of the track signals since I played a lot Densha de Go!.
I believe the chime is just to tell the driver that there is a red signal ahead.

Watched the whole thing while working. Really great video, loved watching the countryside go by. Its a view of Japan us westerners don't see often.
I enjoyed letting this play away in the background. The blossoms on the trees along the line are awesome. Interesting railway line.
This is the best Fukuen vidio i ever saw!

I'm trying to figure out why the horn is used like it is. He uses the horn at 38:24, but the tone at 39:06 sounds like a deadman alerter or something. He certainly doesn't honk at every crossing, and not even every crossing without lights and gates. And 40:36 which sounds like someone frantically ringing the doorbell?

西三次～三次間の踏切立ち会いは、三次駅構内の中原踏切が三江線廃止に伴って継電箱の配線を変更した箇所があるため、共通回路の影響下にある芸備線の踏切警報装置に対して誤動作等の影響が及ぶ恐れが否定できないため、動作確認のため上下列車について動作確認をしているものと思われます。

If you look you'll notice there are two spring switches at the opposite ends of the station, each pointing to a different track: that allows trains to pass each other without the need for any form of active switch command, and it's a very common arrangement on secondary lines with low speed and axial load.
Thank you for the explanation.
They have them in the US too! This one -- www.railfanguides.us/va/tide/saux637.JPG -- is on a Light Rail Transit system in Glendora CA.
14:37 the hacienda style building on the left with the three (3) arches is like general douglas macarthur's home in brisbane queensland and up on stilts like a "queenslander" style house
2:56:09 The points are open the wrong way! How on earth did this train not derail?
Amazing scenery, happy to sit staring at the screen for 4 hours!
Don't worry, it's a spring switch and that is how it should be

wonderful view. I really like this video. Thanks
you should put date and time of when this video was taken for a nostalgic and future references
Sakura trees are so beautiful!
桜はとてもきれい！
Interesting. But why is someone yelling "Bank angle! Bank angle!" as the train pulls into Aki-Yaguchi Station at 15:01? And at 15:14, it sounds like someone is yelling "Pull up!" This is a train, not a crashing airplane. "Bank angle! Terrain! Too low! Pull up! Overspeed! Stall!" are not warnings I expect to hear on a train.
Amazing. No wires above (like many of their other lines) and no third rail (like in NYC). Is this train fuel-driven, or do they recharge the batteries whenever they reach the last stop on the line?
love seeing the random out of place palm trees along the line
Nice Work, Thanks~
Hi pretty how
Bonito vídeo y una forma de ver Japon con sus increíbles paisajes y los arboles en flor una pasada
At the 1:55:05 mark, right after the train passes the crossing, you can see a large bird (goose, swan?) running across the tracks, and then the train slowed way down immediately after that.

At 3:24:22 all the cherry blossoms on the side of the old train station
This is one ride I really enjoyed, though some of those homes along the track are in terrible shape, must be abandoned?
Здорово! Вся японская жизнь как на ладони.
I think the switch at 2:56:05 is not at the right position. Can anyone explain that.
この動画配信、ありがとう！ 架線が無い非電化路線、気動車独特のエンジン音と４K映像が相まって地方の電車旅が満喫できました。線路脇の桜・梅の開花状況と三江線廃止翌日との説明に2018年4月2日の便と思われます。1日一便運行で逆行きの府中ー＞広島の直通便は無い事もこの動画をきっかけに知ったのでした、それにしても福塩線側の線路区域に伸びてきている木々の枝、整備できていないのですねぇ、、、今もそうなんだろうか？
