Japanese Scenic Train Ride Experience in Kyoto ★ ONLY in JAPAN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มี.ค. 2019
- Japanese trains are famous around the world for their style, comfort and speed. In the countryside of Kyoto though, you may not have speed, but you do comfort and style. The Eizan Electric Railway starting at Demachiyanagi Station is a 94 year old line that is evolving fast. Since commuters are decreasing, Keihan Railways has changed the way it designs its trains to attract more tourists.
The plan is working and the Eizan Line is super cool.
The trains are all “One man” one person operated trains where the driver is also the conductor, taking tickets and payment before letting passengers off. They’re the ultimate multitaskers!
In September 2018, a strong typhoon damaged a lot of the Kansai region including Kyoto and the Eizan Line suffered heavy damage. The line was suspended for 90 days, the longest in its history. What’s impressive is that the entire company pitched in to help from the technical staff and construction to the office workers at headquarters. It’s a great example of teamwork in Japan and a reason why the Eizan line is so beloved.
There are many interesting stops on the Eizan line worth checking out.
We’ll stop at:
★ DEMACHIYANAGI STATION
The first station with change to the Keihan Line express for Osaka and Kiyomizudera, Gion, Central Kyoto
★ ICHIJOJI STATION
It’s known as Kyoto’s Ramen Town! There are 36 shops serving some of the city’s best!
★ KURAMA STATION
You can hike around Mount Kurama and Kurama Temple or head to Kurama Onsen for a dip in the closest hot spring to Kyoto city. It takes 40 minutes to reach Kurama from central Kyoto.
Get the Discount Osaka-Kyoto SIGHTSEEING pass
▶︎ www.keihan.co....
Keihan Railways sells tourist passes for 1500 yen ($14.00) from Kyoto Tower. It’s also sold in Osaka at the airport and in town.
For foreign residents of Japan like me, there’s a 1-day train pass for the Eizan line for 1000 yen ($9.50) that lets you jump on and off. You can get this pass at Demachiyanagi Station.

Proving once again that John & Only in Japan is the best "ワンマン” show on TH-cam! NHK's "Japan Railway Journal" better watch out! But seriously, it is fun to see videos on rail passes other than the JR Pass. Japan has MANY of these regional tickets. One could dedicate a series to exploring these regional passes. Additionally, tourists can get these passes at a great discount without the need to pre-purchase. (The JR pass must be purchased before leaving to Japan and it's quite expensive.) These regional passes often come in 1, 2 and 3 day unlimited travel varieties and can can be purchased at the station after showing your passport.
heck yeah noshi!!!
You can now purchase JR Pass in Japan but it's more expensive.
@@lostinhorizon8341 Was that made permanent? I heard it was part of a trial that was ending this month. Also I believe it was sonly available for the main "JR Rail Pass" and not the regional passes for areas like JR East, JR Kansai or JR Hokkaido.
Studying the various local passes for my planned visit from Australia in May 2019!
@@MMTB616 be sure and check out the Hankyu pass if you will be in the kyoto / osaka area
The Japanese really took their train and train service to the next level.
try Switzerland...
Japan and Switzerland are the best of the best for almost anything you can think of and More!!
This may be Kyoto's hidden jewel for visitors! Very few international tourists here.
Leave me a comment below and I'll pin the best on to the top. Keihan Railways so very kind to give us access inside the rail network for us to see in Kyoto's countryside. They're the best option for getting around Kansai from Osaka to Tokyo if you don't have a JR Rail Pass and I'm very thankful for their time and help! -John
Hey love your videos but I have really quick and maybe to personal question. Do you have to pay for all these excursions, do you solicit free stays or meals? I'm sure some places are offering you free experiences for the exposure but I was just wondering about the feasibility of running such a high-end travel channel on TH-cam. Thanks for content!
Hi John thanks for taking us with you, very interesting loved the hot springs at the end.
😀😍👍👍👍👍
@@Eli-eh8zt thanks for the quick reply!
this train is awesome!.i wish malaysia could have the same like this-jann on instagram (@techcrazygeek)
It's doesn't show on my feed
With much Love from India. Japan is truly an epitome of how a society should be, Modernized yet root in their traditions and discipline.
Thank you for featuring Kyoto.
I live in Kyoto and love Japanese culture. I hope those who watch this video go to Kyoto and enjoy the culture, nature, food in Kyoto.
0907hy i love fushimi inari in kyoto.
We just came back from there and had an amazing time! Went everywhere in Japan, check out the vlogs!
I love how the seasons are a big part of everything in Japan, including the trains! The train going along the track surrounded by the colors on the trees was so beautiful! A trainspotters paradise! I spotted a Kevin Riley on one of them too! 😉😁 Thoroughly enjoyable John! 🙏
The train from Kyoto to Takayama was gorgeous - love scenic train videos. Well done!!
Your channel has proven to me why I MUST visit Japan in my lifetime. Keep up the amazing and hard work showing the best parts of an amazing country! Much love
I travel in Japan with you !! Thank you so much 🇯🇵
Hello from Belgium 🇧🇪
Just a few days ago I stumbled upon your channel and want to say that this is the best thing that could happen to me, since my childhood I love Japan and their culture, technological progress together with upbringing, perseverance and hard work makes them in my eyes the ideal people, who love their homeland. This is just a small part of what I can convey through my comment. Also my thanks to John for a very beautiful, incredibly interesting job, each video is shot and edited as a Hollywood blockbuster ! My respect to You !!! And finally even such a simple boy from Afghanistan as I watch anime and read manga xD
I also just came back from Japan and what an amazing place! Did a series of vlogs on it if you're interested in checking it out.
IDris Amiri Japan isn’t technologically advanced compared to a lot of other western countries tho?
I can agree and understand all that you mean about the Japanese people and the country!❤️
Must say John, You have really out done your self this time! Keep up the Amazing work! Its people like you that get folks interested in Japan!
Those trains must be nice to ride when it rains. The water gently falling on the windows..
Ahh, that imagery made me feel instantly relaxed, and really sleepy. Haha
Sounds like an anime episode. I love it
Lovely image ,that 🥰
Yes! I agree, it would be amazingly soothing! Stay Safe
I took this train to go to Kurama Onsen without knowing the beauty of it beforehand. It really has a Ghibli atmosphere to it and I strongly advise you to take it especially for the Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi fans.
Great video and thank you for helping others discover this line !
Ok...I have watched it... twice even. I love these trains.. omg, the oval faced one is gorgeous. I would go the japan just to ride the trains. Seriously, I would.
I've actually driven this train in a Nintendo DS game Japanese Rail Sim 3D
Journey to Kyoto
☺ ♥ 🇯🇵
Me too, in the game Virtua Cop 2
Reminds me of the two Japanese routes in Microsoft Train Simulator.
Ya, It’s a Nintendo 3DS game by sonic powered. This train it’s shown in a HK movie too, but I forget which movie.
Podrías por favor hacer un video del Shinkansen??
Virtually actually. FTFY.
This is the sort of content I want to see ! When I visit Kyoto area this is the sort of thing I will do, just ride a train there and back
This is a video worth the wait
I feel like the live streams are growing and I love it
Hope you keep making these awsome videos😀😁👍👌
Hey John, Man this episode was Nostalgic, Visited the area in 2015, in the last 3 minutes I have photographs of the exact places you took your shots in, its really surreal! Glad to see some improvements to the lines, though Kurama Onsen, Station and the place itself hasn't changed much. Thank you for the emotional ride! 😆
I have never been to Japan, but the more I see of the railways, the more I definitely want to go. Thanks for a great video.
John,
Discovered your ONLY in JAPAN TH-cam channel in recommendations two days ago and I will look forward to watching many of your videos. As a rail fan for more than 60 years I found your train video to be both educational and highly entertaining. I have been fortunate to ride the rails in various countries and I enjoy visiting train stations and museums dedicated to the history of trains. Here in the USA there are many opportunities to connect with the spectacular vista of the American landscape via trains. Thanks for you professionalism and dedication to exploring the beautiful country of Japan.
I am a fan and I worked for a railroad for 43 years and a long time of the rails. Thank you for another trip I enjoyed a great deal.
I LOVE your professional style! With interviews and background-informations, keep it up ;-)
I actually bought those passes for the Keihan line when we traveled to Osaka and Kyoto earlier this year. It came in handy as our accommodations were near Kiyomizu-Gojo station. After i bought those passes i found out they have a "Premium Car" which has reserved seating and an attendant tending to passengers. It was not very expensive to upgrade, just maybe 600 yen along with our passes. It made for a nice comfortable ride from Yodoyabashi station in Osaka to Kiyomizu-Gojo station in Kyoto. I was dreading boarding a crowded local train and having to deal with luggage. The attendant even stored our luggage for us and as we got off at our stop, he wrote a note to let us know where to find an elevator in the station so we wouldnt have to climb the stairs with our luggage! Such service! After watching this video, I wished we had ventured further up along the Keihan line past Demachiyanagi on the Eizan! On my to do list next time! Thanks for the great video!
Right! I saw that premium car and heard it was super reasonable
To upgrade. Love that - taking everyday normal stuff to the highest level. The extra service is a very nice touch! Keihan went the distance here. They’re very proud of their company and should be. Beautiful trains and service.
It's amazing that no matter where you go, it's so clean and neat in Japan and there is no garbage or gum or spits on the ground. Being there is truly like being in a different world.
Nice video. I lived in Japan for 15 years and then started my own tour company called hikari-partners. I take JR pass and ride all types of trains. My clients love it. It is the only company in india who only travels to Japan.
I really cannot wait for my next visit to Kyoto - best wishes from 🇩🇪
The colours in Autumn look fantastic, thanks for sharing your life in Japan with us.
What a beautiful train ride, I nearly went on this train, but I did not have time. I only had two weeks in Japan, so I packed all the popular sites together. This is such a fantastic video production and a beautiful flow to each scene, just like the Japanese countryside.
日本人から見ても大変素晴らしいビデオだと思います。
これからの活動も応援しています。頑張って下さい！
I've been to Kyoto a few times and I've always loved taking this train. However, this was usually just to visit my friend's house several stations down the line. Thanks for alerting me to the other possibilities the Eizan line has to offer shortly before my next trip to Japan!
I found your channel via the YouRube algorithm. I must thank you, I a, so very happy to watch your videos! It has been many years since I visited Japan (1986). You are so very lucky to be able to live in Japan. My mother was from Japan, and my father was from the United States. I was born/raised in the United States, however, I was raised in a very Japanese household. Thank you so very much for your beautiful and wonderful videos. I was lucky to travel to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Biroshima, Nara, Nikko in two weeks time. I would love to go back and visit many other beautiful places in Japan. Arigato Gozaimasu 🕊.
I really like how you blend in and not seem like a tourist or just focus on yourself or how different the Japanese culture is. Keep up the great work!
豆大福を食べるシーンで、歯形が残らない様にしてるのを見てこの人が
日本文化を深く理解しているのを感じる。
John well done for the great work again! I’m not surprised that your works attract many high profile professionals in media and films👍 Thank you for all your work to present the beautiful suburban Kyoto and its unique traditional culture🙌💖✨
Super enjoyable video, John ! Production values are awesome ! Camera, editing, graphics, interviews & subtitles, incidental music...☆☆☆☆☆
Can't wait for the ramen coverage, keep up the good work john!
Just went to fire ramen in Japan, check out my vlog.
Japanese have a way of performing the most routine mundane tasks extremely efficiently without looking or sounding the least bit bored
I love trains, so I really enjoyed this video. And the momiji illuminated by the lights was stunning; I want to see this in person. Indeed, you’ve shown us so many wonderful places to visit in Japan, but, sadly, finding the time and money to see them is a challenge.
Should check out the sagano scenic railway in Kyoto. I took some video on my channel when I went last year, go check it out!
日本に興味を持ってくれてありがとうございます。
Thank you for your interest in Japan.
Those trains look fun!
Here from the Instagram notification squad to say hello from Portland, Oregon. Lovely to learn about the trains for my future trip to Japan! Great video.
because of this show, I had my first solo travel in Japan, in all the Kansai areas last Nov 2017 and have watched all their videos too :) always a good time watching your videos to reminisce my experience in japan. this year, i'm planning to visit Japan again. :)
Such a gorgeous area!!! The Hiei is outstanding! It's definitely on my to-do list. Thanks a lot for the amazing report and especially for stressing the incredible achievement of the whole Keihan Railway staff fixing the terrible damage of Jebi!
japan is so clean! amazing people and culture
So nice to rewatch old experiences. I've been to Kyoto literally a dozen times and to Kurama some 8 times and this really brings back memories as it is now some 5 years since my previous visit. Thanks for making this video!
I can pass days by watching Japanese train videos without becoming ennui
I went to Japan on October 2018 and March 2019. I'll be returning in November this year
Lucky you! I can’t wait to go back!
Check out my vlogs on things to do!
Beautiful train. It looks very clean. *Even the stations are clean* as possible.
Japan looks as if it has no dirt or dust. Nice for travel !
There's so many amazing train rides in Japan that I've learnt about. I really want to experience some of them one day.
Thanks for the nice journey on some very neat trains. Rural and Natural areas of Japan are worth seeing. Happy Trails
splendid!
I feel your affection to Japan through your you tube.
I am glad that Japan's fascination is introduced to the world by your magical explanation.
Thank you for your devoting guide.
Heads up (9:09) Spelling error with "L" before "E" triangle
Interesting train ride, fun seeing just one stubby car and one guy doing it all.
Crmsnraider got it! Always one ... 😆
Japan might be the best country for tourism.
It is indeed a beautiful train. The more I watch those video about Japan, the more I feel in symbiosis with their culture and want to move there.
Yeappo, my Visa is approved and o will be in Japan for 2w weeks. Thanks to you I got this view of Japan.
I met you here John! Was a pleasure!!
This is a must visit area. I was just in Kyoto and it was awesome. Going back next year.
Japanese trains are the best in the world and so are its passengers. When I first went to Japan in 1998 I was shocked 😲 how clean, efficient and reasonable the train 🚉 service was. Even if the whole train was empty apart from 1 person that 1 person would only take up the space of 1 seat, not 2,3,4,5,6, like in London. Sorry London but it's true. Plus you don't have any passengers eating, drinking, talking loudly on the phone, no feet on the seats etc etc. I never get tired of looking at the hundreds of adverts in the train. ✌️
いつもありがとうございます！
毎回楽しみに見てます
I love Japan, because they always maintain the culture despite the progress that has progressed
What a lovely video. I was looking for info on the HIEI train and then your sightseeing video had the beautiful bonus of local culture.
There's a bakery in front of demachiyanagi station. Love it.
I would want to taste too many things!!lol
Hey I was there last week and drove to Kibuneguchi Station and then hiked to Kurama Onsen with two friends.
Some thoughts from my side:
- If you want one of the scenic seats you should plan to wait around 15 minutes. The trains drive in 15 minute intervals, so let the full train drive off and a few minutes later the next one comes around and waits to depart, so you can grab your good seat.
- If you exit the station before Kurama and do not take the bus to Kibuneguchi you have to walk the road, which is too bad, because I felt there could be enough space for a walkway..
- The hike is rather short, but going up the mountain is still nice and fun. But as John said, there has been a LOT of damage due to the Taifun, but it is save to walk anyway. And you can take a pilgram walking stick for free. You just have to return it at the exit.
- The Onsen has a machine with English Buttons and offers towels to if you forget. And a shuttle service to Kurama Station for the lazy. Just ask the driver, he is very nice.
I love Japanese train! I love Kyoto!
I love you Japan! Much love from Malaysia!
What a happy chap the presenter is, made it a pleasure to watch, thank you.
The calmness makes it beautiful and popular.
Fantastic video! I was in Kyoto in January and rode this line, but not as far out as you did. It's a beautiful line for sure and I truly enjoyed my time on it. I'd like to go back in fall and ride it out till the end.
Thank you for your hard work in producing this!! :-)
Been following and watching ONLY in JAPAN since November '18. All i want to do now is to visit Japan, honestly the one country on the top of my list, and my Japanese is basically non excistent. However, John has tought me that i really dont need to know Japanese to find my way around Japan :)
Thank you John, for a superb and informative youtube channel, and giving me loads of entertainment!
This is one of the best japan centered channels on youtube. If I made videos, Id do a whole series on Japanese cinema. Small retro theaters hand paint billboards over their theaters for a single movie that plays for about a week. They are similar to morioka shoten's single book bookshop.
I have to instantly like your video's John. You always produce quality content and deserve it.
This is a really cool video. I was in Kyoto in 2017 and stayed at a cool Onsen Ryokan in Kyoto Ohara. Beautiful views and gorgeous temples. I could have stayed there forever :). Your video reminded me a lot of my time in Kyoto.
Which spots did you like in Ohara itself? I'm a big Kyoto fan, but have yet to go to Ohara. Any favourite spots, shops, and so on?
@@picknick21 So we stayed in Ohara no Sato Onsen which was a really cool place and we visited the Sanzen-in Temple. Unfortunately we were only in kyoto for 3 days and we used most of that time to explore Kyoto itself.
Thx very much ^^ @@Elkpine
While I love shinkansen, these local smaller trains have a place in my heart too. Also loved the scenary outside of the track and beyond. I could just sit there and stare at the view for hours. :D
People do meditation to get peace, I watch Only in Japan...
Omg! I got like from John. That's real jackpot. Please do come to India again !
Thank you so much John ! Back in Japan in November & focuses on Kansai, this gem tour is now added on my trip 😍
I love trains, John we need more episodes with trains 🚃
We took so many trains during our Japan trip, check out my vlogs!
Wow, this type of ticketing is very similar to the buses. Ahh, I like these videos, this demonstrates that there are private rails in Japan. The themed trains are always great to see..this can tie into mascot, or a magical rail experience. Keihan is a private rail company. Oooh mame mochi, nice snack! What a nice way to end trips with soaking in a Japanese spring.
I love your channel, bro. It is always fun to see the videos that you make.
This is perfect!!! We are going on a family trip to Japan and will be going to Kyoto for a couple of days. We've been there before and were looking for new things to do and we absolutely are going to try this! Thanks for such a great idea!!!
Very very good and informative video!
Another thing added to my endless Japan bucket list
Sightseeing kurama-dera and hiei-yama during autumn is the best view ever. I went there during by bycicle. It was tiring because the route is going uphill.
The trains are really pretty. I am sure it makes the commute pleasant.
I love the huge windows on the kirara train. Must be so nice just to sit there and watch the scenery go by!
比叡で思い出した
戦艦比叡がとうとう見つかったそうですね、見つけてくれたアメリカ人にじゃ感謝です！
thank you！
Another great show, and wishing I was there to see it all myself, so beautiful, leaves me wanting to see more, and looking forward to the next one
Love that classy design of the Hiei train
Very nice! I like Japan Trains!
John this is one of the best videos that you posted recently. Just keep posting this kind of content, its same like in the old days.
So excited, I got the live notification on Instagram! Love love love your videos
We stayed at the Kurama Onsen for two days. The ride from Demachinayagi is quite scenic.
This is like the cute train in Arashiyama, though I think that is more crowded because of bamboo forest.
And just by watching those train drivers, makes you feel very safe, they are serious about their jobs.
Carmela Camba - Agree. Japanese rail staff are total professionals.
Thanks for this, I have added this as a must see in Kyoto when I visit next.
Another great episode John.
I was lucky enough to go to the Kurama fire festival many years ago. I don't remember much about the train trip except for the crowd. The line started outside the station went all the way through the station back outside and doubled back to the platform. Totally worth it. But I didn't see much more of Kurama than the festival at night. I would like to go back during the day time and spend some time there. Plus who doesn't like a nice train ride. :D
A beautiful life in Japan 👍👍 Mr. John a good host and a good video.... Thank-you so much for sharing... I wish You more successful videos.
i have been in kyoto 3 times but I never rode in this railway. I didnt know it was special. I might still go some other time ;)
I rode this line back and forth to Kurama onsen a few months ago - I was living in Tokyo and visited Kyoto with family. It is indeed a lovely line, my favorite part is the last few stops at the Kurama end of the line, where it's single-tracked and it winds through a series of beautiful little valleys.
I should add a minor correction - "Eiden" does not actually mean electric train, it is in fact an abbreviation of Eizan Dentetsu, which is the full name of the company (where dentetsu means "electric railway").
Hi John, Nice. I am so facinated about Japan's trains and I can't wait to ride on one if I ever go. Great vids!
Oh I miss Japan already. Covid go away so we can go back and pushed through with our cancelled trip already.
Great content as always!
Yay! New video! Thank you John!!
