It is the 5th time that I have seen this documentary that TH-cam recommends to me and I still can't get enough of watching this documentary on how the bullet train line is built in Japan, I remember the first time I saw this documentary, I kept the square eye of how a mega work is built in the 1960s in Japan but now it is normalized.
Yes Je suis. The bullet train is a modern marvel and engineering success. The bullet train and 1964 Olympics was a signal to the world from Japan saying we're back. This particular documentary is one of the best in colour and such high quality film. It's one of my favourites. 👍
Shinkansen was born in October, 1964. Since the time Shinkansen has never occurred human die accident by the train own. Even during earth quake, the trains stoped automatically and stood as it was.
The amount of hard work and detail that went into the first Shinkansen system are mind boggling! All this was achieved 60 years ago and in a span of around 3 yrs since groundbreaking. Shows the foresight and vision the planners had.
Wow the first bullet train, what a beauty and what a great classic engineering masterpiece! I admire Japan a lot since childhood! Great documentary from another time ❤
Thank you for the delivery. It was the first time I saw the full video of this video and I was excited. I will subscribe to the channel.Thank you very much.
Such precision and automation of construction in 1960... Japan seriously lived in the distant future. They built such automated and long line in less than 5 years... It blows my mind! :D I'm not even mentioning about air conditioning on trains in the 1960s and about building a railway line on large viaducts in an earthquake-prone environment.
Trivia: The two leaders of the Shinkansen project, Shinji Sogo and Hideo Shima, were not invited to the opening ceremony as they took responsibility for the budget overrun. However, Sogo is regarded as the 'Father of the Shinkansen' today.
Not surprising. Japanese cameras are known for their quality. My father was a hobby photographer for decades. Always used an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SLR.
Amazing 5 minutes into it and wow. My first time on a Shinkansen was from Tokyo to Osaka to see Expo 70. Earlier this month I went Tokyo to Kokura and back. I’m back in Hawaii and looking at the snail rail they can’t even complete it and budget keeps rising.
J'admire le Japon qui, ayant subi la tragédie de la guerre et qui, en 1964 inaugure la première ligne à grande vitesse commerciale au monde avec son fameux Shinkansen 0, 17 ans avant le premier TGV français. Une incroyable claque dans le transport ferroviaire mondial .
Thank you. It's one of my favourites. So high quality film from 1965. We're so lucky to be able to look back into the past with this comprehensive documentary.
@@kasaivisual4997China is just as big and wide as US and they quickly built an extensive HSR system. There’s really no excuse, we just have corruption in this (money being used and nothing getting done).
@jakelee6990, you've got Acela going down the Northeast Corridor, don't you? Be glad that it was completed and is running well (albeit not as fast as a Shinkansen), and that CAHSR is going to get built eventually (it was stymied by NIMBY groups.)
As a Russian I have nothing against the Japanese but the outmost respect for they are the most remarkable and the most innovative and the most honest asian people so far 🇷🇺❤️🙇♂️🇯🇵 this bullet train redefines the meaning of railway innovation or what I call railway revolution 🚅
15:47 seeing the Marunoichi building with no sky scrapers is a trip. Its such a contrast to the shots of the country side that have barely changed today.
Marunouchi building was also used as a measurement of the tall structure in some part of the video to show how deep is 40 metres like. Very different time.
From this, a legend was born… Where I’m from Canada’s only attempts at speeding up trains was the UAC Turbotrain. Since then many proposals have been put forward for proper high speed rail but next to none have been put past the planning stage where as our neighbors in the US are in honestly in a more embarrassing position considering Africa’s got the Al Boraq.
The most important parts of building this new train was the rail system - it had to be dedicated solely to the train, and there are no level crossings with streets. And of course, all the tunnels that had to be blasted through to make it happen.
Shinkansen really provided a faster and more comfortable transportation, This is a impressive train with its ability to expand everywhere, the world war 2 screwed up japan, I bet it took really hard effort to just lay the rails from tokyo to new-osaka.
Yes indeed, YDS. I remember my last journey on the Shinkansen to Hiroshima put me to sleep. It was such a smooth ride and the hum of the motors as we sped along was so relaxing. Tokyo to Shin-Osaka was 515 km according to the documentary all brand new track separated from road traffic and crossings. An engineering marvel at a time where the world was moving heavily into airplanes.
Плохо, что Япония стала сотрудничать с США. От этого у Японии все проблемы и неприятности... В 80-90-е года JDM это просто шедеврально было. Очень скучаю по тем временам... Верю, что Япония ВСКОРЕ навсегда избавится от влияния мусорной страны под названием США, И ТОКИО ВНОВЬ ВОСПРЯНЕТ ДУХОМ❤❤❤ ЛЮБЛЮ ЯПОНИЮ❤❤❤
ln Sep of 1945 if someone would've told anyone that in 19 years time, Japan will build the world's fastest, most sophisticated and advanced railway system, no one would've believed.
Yes, it has been one of Japan's biggest success stories and paved the way for all other countries that have high speed rail today to follow. The Chuo Shinkansen will be the next big development in this area.
They were about to do it in 1940s but war happened.. If they'd suceeded in doing it then itself, imagine what they would be doing by 1964? Launching maglevs...
The construction plans were halted due to the war, but there is no doubt that Japan's defeat also gave the plan a boost. After the war, the US military stationed in Japan disbanded the Japanese Air Force and expelled its engineers, causing a near collapse of Japanese aircraft manufacturing (a response reflected in the lagging state of modern Japanese aircraft manufacturing). Naturally, the developer of the famous "Zero fighter" lost his job, but he seems to have played a major role in helping to realize faster speeds by participating in the Shinkansen project.
The first TGV prototype was finished by 1972, but then they realized they needed to do what Japan did and build a dedicated electrified rail corridor for high speed train, which they build from 1976 to 1981.
I rode the N700-2000 series (sets X72, X79 aka N700a sets ex Z sets) on the original Toikaido line. These trains reached top speed in just 3 minutes after leaving a station. But I saw some 0 series cars in a museum.
Culture matters 100% Japan was led into brutal destruction, by fanatical militarism in WW2, yet 20 years after the end of WW2, Japan had rebuilt itself from the rubble of war. So, why can’t Africa with all its natural resources lift itself out of poverty and industrialise. Why? There are political and geographic hurdles, but the uncompetitive culture and insistence on victimhood of African countries, combined with a poor attitude to education and work ethic must surely bear the major responsibility.
Your historical understanding is different from the facts. It is a history distorted by the victorious countries. At that time, Asia, Africa, and Latin America were all slave colonies of Westerners. In Asia, "China" was the UK🇬🇧, Portugal🇵🇹, "Philippines" was the US🇺🇸, "Laos", "Burma", "Malaysia", "Singapore", "India", "Ceylon", and "Pakistan" were the UK🇬🇧, and "Indonesia" was the Netherlands🇳🇱, as of the outbreak of war in 1941! Japan was a permanent member of the League of Nations at its inception, and is one of the three major military powers. In 1919, Japan was the first in the world to draft an abolition clause for racial discrimination at the Paris Peace Conference, which was approved by the majority, but was opposed by Western countries that had 500 years of slavery interests and was rejected. After that, the US🇺🇸 and the UK🇬🇧 in particular viewed Japan as an enemy, the Anglo-Japanese Alliance was abolished, and the US imposed an economic blockade on food, fuel, etc., which led to the outbreak of war. Unfortunately, Japan lost the battle, but it achieved its war aims. By fighting against the US, Britain, the Netherlands, France and others, Japan was able to liberate and give independence to slave colonies in Asia, Africa and Central and South America that had been established by Westerners, so in terms of political aims, it was a victory. Although China and Korea sought Japan's help and protection before the war, after the war, Korea and China lobbied to rewrite history to suit their own countries and portray Japan as the villain. After the war, the US, China and Korea, fearing that Japan would rearm and become stronger, shared the interests of China and Korea, and so the US, China and Korea have been attacking Japan for decades by distorting history.
I watched the video with admiration and envy, as well as shame and disappointment . My country doesn't even have a hundred kilometers of metro in the city, how can we have thousands of kilometers of this high-speed rail? Hopeless!

An English subtitles ? UNBELIEVABLE, currently I've learned and study Japanese a lot just to translate what this narrator speak of. Wait, the subtitles is incomplete huh ? Well...
@@JapaneseHistory Thank you so much for that. This is a video I've hoped for a while would get a proper translation. The history and development behind the Shinkansen is fascinating.
In Japan, the 680km/h Linear Shinkansen has been in the works for 20 years, but the US government has been exerting extreme pressure on Japan in a scheme to seize development rights from Japan (pressure on Japan is as strong as that applied to passenger planes and fighter jets), and the Chinese government has been carrying out subversive activities against the Japanese government and governors in an attempt to delay the opening of the Linear Shinkansen, which has resulted in the opening being delayed by more than 20 years. Since the last war, external pressure on Japan has been relentless, and the Japanese people are exhausted. The Japanese people, who are known for their high standards, have finally reached their limit of patience.
This is true. China built some much high speed trains so fast. I think like 40,000km in 15 years really amazing. It has set the country up for the future and broken the reliance on road and air transport.
The thing that gets me about this documentary is not only did Japan design and build this line from scratch.... they engineered and built practically if not EVERYTHING that went into it.... The tracks, the equipment, the trains themselves, even smelting the steel to make it all possible. This mega project was truly pioneering.
True. It makes me wonder if there was an attempt by any US or European construction companies to hijack the project since theyve not been involved anyway.. 😮
*the birth of a legend...the 0-Series Shinkansen* that would pave the way for future Shinkansen developments such as todays Rail Star, 500 Series, N700 series, N700A Series, Doctor Yellow, the E4 series, etc.

Among the railways built before 1970, Tokaido Shinkansen is the only one with an operating speed exceeding 260km/h (max speed 285km/h)now.

In Japan, the 680km/h Linear Shinkansen has been in the works for 20 years, but the US government has been exerting extreme pressure on Japan in a scheme to seize development rights from Japan (pressure on Japan is as strong as that applied to passenger planes and fighter jets), and the Chinese government has been carrying out subversive activities against the Japanese government and governors in an attempt to delay the opening of the Linear Shinkansen, which has resulted in the opening being delayed by more than 20 years. Since the last war, external pressure on Japan has been relentless, and the Japanese people are exhausted. The Japanese people, who are known for their high standards, have finally reached their limit of patience.

I would love for this documentary to be in Spanish.😢

No subtitles 😰
Yeah sorry. This dictionary uses lots of technical work which makes it hard to translate.
@@JapaneseHistory Still a great watch. Thank you.
The 1975 Toei film "Bullet Train" inspired this; it was remade in 2.022.
Really, is the remake with Brad Pitt? I had seen the original, loved it. It also was the basis for the movie speed with Kiauno Renee's in the 1990s.

What would the world do without japan "Elon Musk" they just need to make more babies
Japan is the first country who built this train system. But now China can do it as good as them now. Globalization is so crazy.
This is true. China built some much high speed trains so fast. I think like 40,000km in 15 years really amazing. It has set the country up for the future and broken the reliance on road and air transport.
No china
China makes junk and does not do nearly as good as Japan... the ONLY good trains they got are from JAPAN!
세계 최고의 기술 선진국 일본, 솔직히 일본이 대단하긴 합니다.
Today 🇨🇳 has mega hiper bullet train😱
