- Tokyo by Train (2016). What would it be like to ride on Tokyo's trains from first train to last? Japan's trains are famous for their convenience. I love them so much I decided to ride them all day, visitings tons of stations (Shinjuku, Shibuya, Tokyo). Sadly, I never got pushed on a train during rush hour by the infamous train pushers.
Yes, this is a re-upload from my Life Where I'm From X channel from 2016. I figured that there are many people on this main LWIF channel that have never seen this video before. Plus, let's try out Premiere for the first time and watch it together!

Hey everyone! Hope to see you at the Premiere (July 4th, 10PM JST). First time trying this. Decided to do it with an old favourite from the X channel (i.e. this is a re-upload but I'll be watching and commenting on it live at that time). Bye for now!
I looked at when people most watch my videos, and it starts at 10pm JST, so that's why I picked that time to do the premiere. I didn't realize it was America Day that I scheduled the premiere on, but if it's any consolation, I also forgot about Canada Day. What I mean to say, is happy days to everyone!
@@LifeWhereImFrom no matter we still love your video
Ive been there 😍😍😍😍
This is one of your best vids
What about disabled people? Can they get on the train? (it's a major problem here for ppl in wheelchairs, etc)
This is an excellent documentary. The only improvement I can think of is a map in the corner showing your path.
Alan S you are right! It would be so much better.
Great idea! Hope to see this in the next one
Also a clock!
I recall NHK used maps in the corner to show where they are filming in some segments
In some of those posts or columns, there you would find inscribed the whole route and the length of time between stations. Also, there's a big board indicating the whole schedule of the day. What amazed me is that the time inscribed on the schedule is always met.
The two salarymen practicing their swings made my day
you mean they're not duck hunters or gunslingers?!!! :-0
and Takeshi Kitano sleeping in the train looked very funny )))
17:05, love how the older man teaches his fella golf
This is one of my favourite videos on your channel!! I honestly can just rewatch this video and not be bored and I was just re-watching Tokyo by Bike! Will there be a Tokyo by BUS, next? Your videos are so beautiful and your hard work is very much appreciated!!! Thank you!
I think it'll be by boat
I would love a bus video someday as well! When I was in Japan the bus system seemed more complicated than trains so I avoided taking them.
@@LifeWhereImFrom That seems interesting too!
@@LifeWhereImFrom now that you have done boat, is it bus now?
I love both of these videos as well. Both re-watchable.
I miss Japan 😔😔😔 When I visited the country it helped me get through my depression. It's so peaceful, clean, etc. i could walk the streets all day and just look at the houses buildings, parks etc.
I wish transit was as expansive as Japans, everywhere else in the world. I'll always remember how easy it was to get around Japan!
I was planning on coming back to Japan in winter and sadly, I probably have less than a 5% chance of that happening at this point. So your videos help me relive memories ❤️
Also: while the walkways in Tokyo are spectacular, I spent 4 weeks in Calgary and in my opinion, those walkways in the city were the most astonishing I had ever seen, so Canada can compete! 🙏
Woah, I didn't know you watched Life where i'm from! I used to watch your dropshipping videos when I was a beginner!
@@WholesaleTed wholesale Ted lol I know you! I’ve watched some of your videos. Fancy randomly seeing your comment here. And yes, having lived in Calgary for four years, Calgary’s got an awesome LRT system. Some of My fondest memories where in the train ... especially during The Calgary Stampede Carnival 🎡😊😊😊
Same, was planning to go on a year-long stay next year. How things are looking right now, doesn't seem like it will happen (I doubt things will get immediately better in 2021, my country has one of the worst infection rates in Europe so we probably won't be allowed anywhere for a long time and if the Olympics do happen next year then that's also not a great year to choose to say). Hoping that by 2022 I will be finally able to do it.
I spent almost 3 months in Tokyo when I started in high tech - I found that the train system is extremely exceptional. I don't speak Japanese and easily found my way around to anywhere I wanted or needed to go. I miss Japan and hope to visit again.
I watched this video four times! And it always amazes my how well maintained and clean the stations and trains are, also everybody waits patiently in lines for the trains, japanese people are really polite and respectful
I've been trapped so long in this house, I never dreamed I'd actually miss seeing crowded trains/train stations!

Sorry, I don't have the timing.
Perfect, arigato !!!
Thank you! You choose awesome music.
Listening music from Epidemic Sound during a pandemic.. hahahaha
What is the song that is played at 24:45? It doesn't match any of the tracks listed...
Awesome music from perfect name for the time. Epidemic sound!
Good to see this coming over to LWIF! This is a personal favorite!
Same, this is the video that made me a Patreon for Greg. There is something about this video that makes it striking yet tranquil. I can't exactly pinpoint what it is, probably the videography, the music, or his added comments.
@@gmusashi_45 it's the timing of cuts with music, excellent choice of b roll, and Greg's soothing tone for me.
This video is so underrated. For me, it's one of the best video on TH-cam.
Thanks to everyone who joined the live stream!!!!
And now that it's not in Premiere, it's in 4K!
@@LifeWhereImFrom hey was this a reupload?
Ok Boomer yes it was
Hey man 👋🏻. I have seen in other videos that these trains get so packed that elementary school kids sometimes fit in between adults legs on the floor on their way to and from school. Have you ever seen that?
@@matthewjay660 Did you check the year when that video was taken? Or even better, post the link here.
My niece moved to Tokyo over 12 years ago to attend Waseda University, she has made a wonderful life for herself! Shes married with a beautiful baby girl. Watching your videos over the years has made me feel connected Japanese culture and life. Your videos are definitely on fleek :) :)
My god I never witness such a cute scene like the two man golf swing (in the middle of train station) before. It made me love Japan even more.
What I notice about this is that Japan is constantly developing to some of the problems it's facing even though it is seen as superbly developed than the rest of the world (the road repairs, late trains, and even people falling on train tracks). Change really is constant and vital for a country that I wish every government should emulate. Thank you for this!
いつか街なかで撮影中のグレッグさんに偶然出会って、名も名乗らずに「あなたのユーチューブチャンネルが本当に大好きです」とドキドキしながらお伝えするのが夢です。
I'm planning to visit japan next year and this is one the videos that motivated that decision. A definite must watch if you haven't already :)
I'm hoping for a Tokyo trip next year too!
Tokyo by Bike was the video that has booked my tickets. I can't wait. :)
Ren I was to but am unsure if it would be more expensive if the olympics go ahead
I want to be equipped with as much knowledge when i go there but not enough that im still not amazed by japan. I really want to go to the southern ryukyu islands and listen to some of the native throat singing there like Ikue asazaki
can we get a series of greg touring the world, showing us the culture and infrastructure in different countries? his documentary style is so easy to watch, his calm demeanour (plus chill canadian accent) makes him easy to listen to and the information/content is easy to digest! i need this now, netflix
I remember watching this video when it came out and being amazed by how clean, punctual and convenient trains are. ❤👏🏻
I love the idea of the Silver jinzai, I feel sometimes we get the impression that older folks don't have much of a place in wider society when in fact they are so important, a part of our living history and with so much experience and wisdom as a group that they can offer to everyone.
I agree. My father-in-law passed away two years ago, and my 80-year-old mother-in-law is so bored with nothing to do. We offered to have her move close to us, but she doesn't want to move out of her house. She needs something to do, but I think the thought of driving across the city to be around strangers is too daunting for her. It would be amazing if she could help with the schools or parks near her house to help the community.
When I first visited Japan, I spent a day riding all the Metro line coz I have the 72hrs metro card. It was sooooo fun. It helped me get used to Japan's train system.
I wish I could do this too, so I could visit every Tokyo Subway station in one day
For anyone who has traveled to Japan for vacation, this video is so nostalgic. Awww, I wanna go back soon!
I keep coming back to this video on a yearly basis - just rewatched it again! I'm a big fan of these 'epic journey' features where you cross Tokyo by bike, boat, or train as you've done here. I find interesting new things with each revisit. This time around thgouh I can't help but feel pandemic weary (as is everyone else I'm sure) and I look forward to the day when I can see Tokyo again, or simply even move freely around my hometown of Toronto again. I have not even travelled on the TTC for well over two years now! Anyhow Greg, please keep up the fantastic storytelling and keep safe!
The scene when the two salary men were discussing about golf (I think) was probably my favorite scene as well!
One of my favourite videos of yours. I always liked 'people watching', folks are fascinating. I like imagining their goings about. And this feeds right into that, so many folks going to and fro in so many places.
6:10 that monorail was pretty cool when I rode it from Tokyo to haneda airport, the view was really nice. I usually fly to narita, but haneda is a pretty cool airport too
Awe man. I thought it premiered right now (its 3:00).... but its TOMORROW NOOOOOOO
Edit: i can’t wait. Your videos are always top-notch quality.
probably one of my favourite youtube videos ever, happy to see this re-upload pop up on my recommended 4 years later
This is one of the best things I've ever seen on TH-cam. Your work is great in general, but this is a one in a million piece of art where everything ends up fitting together perfectly.
26:39 - That Good Night shot is beautiful, just beautiful.
This vid is getting me excited about my first trip to Japan with my daughters in June 2023!
riding the trains was one of my favorite things when i went to Tokyo last year. Wish i had more time to explore
Thank you for uploading this movie. I remembered my own life in Japan which already passed by.
ありがとうございます☺️
I love this video, I really find the tunes and sounds played in the station platforms really quite comforting. I really miss Tokyo trains.
I've seen this before, but I'm glad to have an excuse to watch it again. The exploration videos like this and the bike one recently are my favourite type of videos of yours.
Everything is so ridiculously sparkling clean. I love it.
Great to see so many places we went to visit last summer… keeping our travels within the Tokyo are - great episode!
This was a fantastic documentary in 2016 and it's still just as great in 2020! It was also nostalgic seeing many of the same stations and streets that I've visited, especially since we can't travel back to Japan right now. Thanks for the throwback to some quality content and for all of the new projects you're working on and sharing with us. Your docu-game is still on fleek!
When I was a teenager in southeastern Massachusetts, I used to take the train into Boston and just ride all day. I loved it. This is a cool video!
@17:53 Wonderful view of the moon as you come up.
I just wanted to comment and say how much I appreciate your channel and videos! The amount of work you put into them really shows with the excellent quality
When I'm on the train in Japan... I love going to the front and watch the conductor giving hand signals.. mostly to himself, and the way he puts his pocket watch in the little cubicle designed for it...it's little things like that that makes going to Japan so much fun..I love your videos. Domo arigato.
Thank you for that. Yes it takes a lot of time & work but it's greatly appreciated. Stay safe.
I always admire the care people put into their presentation in Japan.
This video is making memories from my trips to Tokyo hit hard. Can't wait to get back
My wife and I visited Tokyo back in 2018 and the trains were defo the best place to get around. Although our hotel was right next to the meguro river, and instead of getting the train from naka meguro station we would often walk to shibuya station cause I just loved that walk to start the day
Thank you, really had an unpleasant day but that was rather calming.
This video is so relaxing watching this as I hear rain falling on my window is great Sunday relaxation.
Seen this before. Will watch this on here again.
When I visited Japan in Nov 2018, i flew into Handeda airport and rode that monorail. that nostalgic feeling!
I loved how the Narrator of this documentary kinda sound like Suzuki Tatsuhisa. 💕
At the last video you said that you don't recommend to do this, but for me, if I go to Tokyo this is exactly what I'll do. I mean, isn't it awesome to see so much in one day. From people starting their day, go to work or school, to people that beginning new chapter in their life, married, or travel away. Then at the end of the day you can see some people are going home, releasing the steam while some other just about to start their work. And to think that each of them have their own story is just so wonderful.
4:07 Man alive, how I wish our stations had those barriers. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen children too close to the edge. I nearly gave myself a stroke one time, when a toddler was steps away from the edge of a raised platform! Where was the mother? Seated a distance away, on her phone, with her BACK TURNED. Even if she had seen the child, she was too far to have grabbed him(?) in time. Not a freaking word of thanks, either, when I brought her child to her and said, "Your baby was right by the edge!" Ugh. Now, that, I don't miss!
Mind sharing where you witness that?
I miss the commuter life of East Japan. I often rode the Sobu Line, Yamanote Line, and Saikyo Line. My favorite line was the Enoden, though.
So clean and everything efficient
Train travelling in Japan especially Tokyo is so great: It’s clean, functional and mostly on time. It’s a tourist attraction itself 😉 And by the way, this is one of my favorite videos. Thanks Greg!
I love Japanese trains. Shinkansens and monorails are awesome. Very nice monorail, convenient you can store your luggage. Japanese monorails are the best. Tokyo Disney has a cute monorail, they recently updated their rolling stock after the other rolling stock has been in use for about nineteen years. Meanwhile, Disney World is still using monorails from 1989!
It reminded me Takashi Kokubo's "Tokyo - Noise aesthetics".
what an absolute blast this video was to watch. brings back so many memories. really hope we all can live our live normal again one day so people can experience Japan freely again.
Did the same thing when I was stationed in Japan. Ended up in Kamakura when the trains stopped for the evening. Spent the night on the beach waiting for the train service to resume in the morning.
Great video, l noticed how clean the streets looked. I notice that there was no graffiti on the walls. The people looked calm and happy.
I watched it on my laptop for the first time....and it was very good experience, I could feel the beautiful camera work. I will rewatch tokyo on bicycle!! 2016 was a good time... everything was better before corona!!
Thanks TH-cam for showing me this channel... What did I just have seen?? This was an awesome documentary!! Just by watching this you can get the feeling of traveling yourself there ❤️🇯🇵. Thank you so much. Your camera and music timing is really nice. You have got a new subscriber 😄😄😄
All cars are so shiny!
Very Geoff Marshall Vibes. Love.
Excellent video, stunning videography with 4k available. Thanks a lot
I watched this when it first came out years back and I just finished watching it just now.
Loved it!! Actually all your vids are awesome, but this and the bike ride (that i watched a few times :)) are especially great.
Hope to see Kamakura one day!
Based from my train ride experiences from nearly 1 and a half year ago, it's mostly the BIG train stations and stations near a certain popular tourist spot that has a lot of people riding in or off the train stations. Shibuya, Akihabara, the Haneda Airport station, Tokyo Skytree stop, and Shinjuku are the ones I noticed that has a lot of passengers at a time. Local lines, ofc. If you can't read the train lines map, always ask someone politely. I got lost/got off the wrong station a few times and asked the people around and they'll help for sure. Also. SUICA cards are SOOOO handy!
If riding the subway is your cup of tea, I'd like to give a shout-out to Tokyo Metro Underground Mysteries, a scavenger hunt that basically has you ride the subway and check out places nearby stations to solve puzzles for a day, usually from October to end of January.
Wow my boyfriend and I can’t wait to visit Japan, though at the soonest it will be a few years from now. Thank you for this lovely documentary!
I really like the Tokyo Transit System. It is clean, safe, and easy to find your way around. Especially with a good app.
Thank u for making like this videos. I cant go Japan for financial problems BUT like this videos make me feel like a goin Japan.
Pls make more like this. Thank u!
my favourite part of your travelling videos are sporting places i’ve been to before and thinking wow i’ve walked there before!!!! thoroughly enjoyed this video specifically focusing on the trains as transport! there’s always something so fun, peaceful and enjoyable about taking trains and having no destination in mind.
Fun to watch, as I collect Tsurikawa. 😎
I loved these kind of videos where you show everyday life in Japan. It's interesting to see how life goes about in different places in Japan, away from the touristy places.
Great video! Thanks so much. Great to watch when you're stuck at home...
Westbound to Yokohama? Ah Zushi ride. Yes!
Thank you for doing this video. As someone who is missing Japan, I need this kind of video
"The doors on the left side will open".. that's the same announcement in the new Jakarta's MRT built by Japan contractor.
Surely this is my personal favourite, I do appreciate your efforts in making this. Visiting Japan and living there is still a dream for many middle class Indian boys like me
9:50 "the short 10 car train" hahaha
I love your videos man! It feels like I'm there while I was watching it.
did he just say "this place is on fleek"
😂😂😂
The music selection for the soundtrack is divine!
I really really like this kind of videos, to see the daily life of peoples, seeing many faces as you strolling along the way, to see many places I've never been before. Please do more of this kind of videos.
As someone who loves trains and the train experience, this video was a treat. Thank you very much.
That intro activated my fight or flight response. Where's my "hello world" at?
really making me miss Japan so much!
My favorite video of all time from you!
This is why i love Japan
This was excellent. I'm in Florida and it helped me learn. You deserve more notice. It made me want to come visit. !!!!
Missed opportunity to put the time on the video. So we get a visual of what time is crowded or not during specific times of the day. I know you showed the clock and mentioned it at some parts.
I'm a DJ for 10 years and classical music lover. You have good music taste in many of ur videos. Cheers man!
Thanks for sharing your day on trains traveling around Tokyo😊 It’s honestly my favorite way to get around most cities in Asia.
this video is good not gonna lie ,may to rewatch many times
these vids of you just going around Tokyo are always a great watch
You can tell from the duration of this video that is going to be an awesome documentary!!
