    Every time I watch videos on this channel, all I can think about is how beautiful Japan is.

    I love this channel! I've had a fascination with Japan for many years, and when you travel around showing us different areas/ scenery/ transport, I feel lucky that you're taking us along on your journey. 😁😁😁

    We want to visit Japan so badly! We've heard great things about the trains (from their smoothness, to their speed, to always being on time, etc). Seeing the countryside in the snow would be an absolute dream! Looks amazing! 🚂 ❄️

    Thank you for taking me along on a ride through your beautiful country. I've always wanted to visit Japan, and your channel is the next best thing in the meantime. Hope you are doing well. We're getting some more snow tonight which means I'll need to get up at 5 AM to dig my garage out. Ugh...
    Cheers from Chicago!

    I have to admit that upon reading that the railway service was suspended due to snowfall I was a little sceptical (because where I come from, trains are being suspended after 3 snowflakes). But then... there was Morimiyanohara... Holy Bob!

    It's a route that runs through an area that even the Japanese aren't very familiar with, but it's got a lot of snow and a lot of charm!

    It seemed that this lovely scenery would never end. . . and then it did.
    I really hope you have done a video on your trip to Echigo-Yuzawa. I have been there numerous times on family skiing holidays and there are a number of really good places to eat at the Shinkansen station.

    Must be difficult to live rural with that much snow fall. Seeing those houses in the distance just peeking out from the snow drifts. Shoveling all that snow must be very time consuming. Lol

    Aww Kuga another great video, i love seeing the trains and Japan, its really interesting.. I love the colour of the train and the whistle sounds so cute, Beaitufl scenery and the magical snow.. 4 minutes late in such conditions is amazing.. Here in England the trains run late most days for no reason, i gave up on public transport and i live 20 miles from the nearest train station..
