The stove train reminds me of traveling from Burlington, Iowa to Washington, Iowa 60 years ago. The train was a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday branch line mixed train. The train consisted of ten or so freight cars ahead of a combination Burlington Route coach/baggage car, circa 1910.. It was a hot summer day. The cast iron coal stove was not fired up. There was ice water. A brakeman loaded a 100 pound block of ice into an insulated compartment. You filled a little paper cup with melted ice. The coach had a toilet. You could look straight down in the toilet and see the cross ties fly by. All of that is long gone. The tracks were ripped out in the early 1980s. Passenger service on the route ended in the late 1960s.
This was great. The local sounds, the narration for the travel was not annoying, the laughter and conversations at the Inn. The old and new blended together.
The empty, snowy track and empty station made it feel like time stood still for just a moment. Such a beautiful video, Shiba! Always looking forward to seeing more from you, amazing work!
Love your videos but this one is kind of special to me because I rode on the stove train just three weeks ago. Truly a lovely trip, there was quite a lot more people compared to your video since I had to rearrange for a weekend ride but it was not overcrowded and I managed to have a nice chat with some other passengers. Looking at the snow-filled scenery passing by out of the windows while riding this special train was truly a nice experience. Thanks for you videos!
I love your videos. However this one is one of the best. You showed us a different Japan - slower and cozier. Of course there are admirable things about Japan and its people and all the technologies envolving the day-by-day life. Today we saw like a slowing pace place where even the food must be savored! The music used was very suitable! しばさん、この動画がとても気に入りました！ 共有していただきありがとうございます！
Shiba-San. I’ve watched all your videos. I’m especially drawn to the ferry adventures. That said this is by far your best. The videography, music, scene selection was art. It evoked a very warm feeling. I work for a Japanese company and have been fortunate to visit Japan 20 times in the last 17 years. This video is of the Japan I have always searched for. Thank you.
This must be a very unique experience travelling on a stove train. I really love it and hope to be able to travel on it one day. This private railway company is a miracle to be still in operation and it means the local people must love and support it. Thank you for introducing this trip. I also like the small inn you stayed for one night.
I do not know how this video is on my feed but I am happy it found me. I enjoyed your travel as snow falls here as well. Thank you for this relaxing trip.
I enjoyed every of Your descriptions of prices, food and stuff. That is what you normally dont get to know. The beautiful pictures rounded it to a piece of pleasure. The stove car is as old as me and still has to work too. That is comforting for both of us. Please tell him.
Perfect video! Lovely trip, thank you for sharing Shiba. I enjoyed your stay at the hotel and your detailed descriptions of the local foods there (yum). And nice use of background music, too. The trains are so interesting!
Hey this just popped up on my TH-cam!! Watching for the third time. I am so excited. Shiba you have some mad skills with this filming on location thing. And in Japan? Sweet. Laura from Atlanta.
I automatically put this in my playlist to enjoy tonight as I relax before bed. I hope trains have beer pouring machines too! If not.....I suppose it's fine... Anyway, thanks Shiba!! I love your videos! Keep up the good work! Ganbare! :)
This feels like Le Cheminot (The Railwayman) by Jino Asada with art by Takumi Nagayasu felt to me. It's a manga I bought in Paris in French translation to help me with my French. Both this video and the story are set in rural Japan covered deep in snow one New Year. The trains, the snow, the infrastructure, the isolation, the clash of modern and old are so exactly the same in both.
Beautiful! All of it, really 😍 But I have to ask, what’s the song that (I think) begins playing at 13:46? Maybe it’s the same artist as other songs in ten video but the one at 13:46 and approx 2 minutes onwards is just so nice… Would love to know more. All my very best from the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden.
. strangely... why is the stove in the middle of the car?.. after all, you can make it easier, in the car heating from the boiler and at the bottom under the windows on both sides to let pipes with water, which can be heated from the stove. As there is heating in the houses it will be much more convenient..
35:28 - Shirako (sometimes spelled shiraku) is perhaps Japan's weirdest dish. While this white paste may look like mayonnaise, it's actually fish semen. You welcome
that was a very sweet journey into your past, thank you. The squid stove train was very quaint, but maybe smelled too squiddy? Maybe they could introduce a board game to play with other passengers, the losers must sit in front of the stove for ten minutes and keep all their clothes on, no matter how hot they became, they could call it, The Squid Train Game...😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉...get it? Squid Game...? 😂🎉😂 Oh well... I better give up comedy and go back to... couch surfing! 😂❤ By the way, you have beautifully manicured nails, well your right thumb, that is what I noticed☺... your other nails might be covered in grilled squid!😂🎉😂🎉😂 bye bye, Ja ne!🙏☺
A water bottle there is .90 USD. Here, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a water bottle that size is minimum $1.79 USD. And that's at the cheapest place you can buy it at. Pretty sad. "THIS" president is ruining our once great country.
Вроде и приятное видео. Но становится жутковато. Такой крошечный мир Японии. Из угла в угол, день езды. Я на дачу езжу дальше. И все таки путешествовать на поездах тяжело. Хоть и забавно.Я могу себе позволить полностью выкупить номер в вагоне, бесплатно. Мой работодатель дает такую возможность. Раз в год , в любую точку страны. И то мне надоедает ездить куда то несколько дней.

запах угля очень специфичен.
That was a lovely ride! With the snowfalling so heavily, it was warm and comforting to see the fire!
Wow thank you for taking us along. Very neat and alittle jealous
I do not know how this video is on my feed but I am happy it found me. I enjoyed your travel as snow falls here as well. Thank you for this relaxing trip.

"My bullet train is full of eels!"
Lovely ride, especially the cosy stove train, though I would struggle with the food. Any vegetarians in Japan?
What a wonderful trip! I love your style, it's so relaxing and serene. Thank you, Shiba 🤍

I like the simple town braving the winter, staying warm on the stove train and in the ryokan. 😉
It will be great experience.
今回の動画は最高です~
私が日本で感じたい感性です〜

いつも、よい動画、ありがおうございます〜

I lived in Aomori for two years and this made me feel homesick! Beautiful video.
Oh really! Thank you.
What a lovely journey and hotel stay. You've inspired me to add it to my itinerary when I return to Japan in late October 2023.
Thanks!
The food adds warm to the body....nice video....

The origins of food........makes me wonder who and why sometimes.🐟👈👀😉
Lindo. Queria estar nesse lugar.❤
Arigato!

That bowl of soba that was 5$ would be $15-20 in the US. Very nice.
Food s good

Thank you. The music at 13:46 is Through the Woods by Tony Petersen. It's lovely music, I like it too. artlist.io/jp/song/57323/through-the-woods
@@shibatravel Arigato!! 🙏🏼
Do all trains have toilets? Being old this is important to me!!! Just wondered. Rob:-)
In America, the little store in the company railroad station would be called a "gift shop."
14:35-14:40 I know it is a reflection, but seems like there is a white duck running on top of the threes :)))
Hahaha Actually, that part I failed to shoot.
@@shibatravel I just realised that my comment had a typo. I meant a ,,duck,, not ,,suck,, *facepalm*. Sorry! I liked the video!❤
Hahahahaha. I like it! You’re the best!!
kampai!
Kampai!
To be honest, you should have gotten back on another stove train to complete your trip. That would have been the right thing to do.

Thank You for your inefficient channel Hahahahaha
Hahaha Thank you.
Alcohol in Canada is very highly taxed. Most of the prices I see in videos like these are cheaper than Toronto by a lot.
Peak human civilization.
*Googles shirako* Ah, that one...
If all mankind would love their neighbor as themselves, then God would pour out blessings far greater than these.

Aqui no Brasil não tem neve

Las bebidas alcohólicas son para fiestas no para viajar en tren chinorri
I would understand if people came here once a year just to get away from their busy life and slow down
A derailment would result in “fried” passengers 😜
Yes alcohol cheaper than water and MILK here what’s going on ??
Not a fan of squid though.
Booze in the morning is NOT a good thing. You need to stop the drinking pal or you are going to end up living on the streets.
What a dumb comment
Thanks for your comment. I usually don't drink in the morning. When I travel it's a special time😎
Toto video mi nejde v slovenskom jazyku ostatné áno
Thanks for your comment. I have added Slovak🙇
