Have you posted your Winnipeg to Churchill train trip yet? Well done….enjoying your videos 🇨🇦👍🏼
@@canuck9687 he did, I just watched it.
You have to let us to see you.
I love this trip! We must have just passed each other, Kuga. I'm sure we'll meet one day...
Try it bro, you can ride the highest speed train for the first time in Southeast Asia. The highest speed is 350 kilometers per hour, the Indonesian fast train Jakarta - Bandung, the newest, most sophisticated in Southeast Asia, the first,.the way to the beautiful and comfortable and beautiful and cool and cool city of Bandung, thank you sis and bro..*,**
That’s one thing we didn’t get to do when we lived out there in 1996-2004. I’m 35 now and have a daughter that loves trains. I need to get us up there and do some reminiscing and visit my old school friends. ❤❤❤
What a great trip you've had! As always, thanks for sharing!
Fantastic! Thank you for bringing us along!! 😊
What a wonderful ride to see and hear. The overhead announcements were pure gold too!
What a beautiful train ride!!!
Kuga, In all the travel videos I have watched, you have been the only one to say thank you after you finished a meal. I like that you do this.
Wow, beautiful train!!! A very, very good video! Thanks for sharing - so I could also see those wonderful places! 💯
Thankyou for your videos, you have convinced my husband and I to travel to Japan. Our son is going early next month. We really enjoy your work❤
I used to live in Fairbanks and always drove between Fairbanks and Anchorage, so never took the train. I was shocked to see how expensive it was.
The balcony on this train is the point. LOVE IT! As usual, the humorous parts of the trip: 70 years old man looks happy during this trip 😆 and I thought the dinner reminds me with cereal 😁 SUPER THANKS, KUGA-SAN!
So glad you got to ride the Alaska Railroad. Alaska is such a beautiful place. I was lucky to ride this train when I was a teenager. I loved it when the two trains passed each other and the passengers were waving and cheering 😄
I moved to Alaska in 1992 and have never ridden the train, now you can drive from Wasilla to Fairbanks in under 5 hours. I'm glad you liked the trip, usually we have better weather in June but this year it's been very cloudy with lots of rain. And now the snow is coming.
Is it true that Alaska is very expensive?
@@interproserviceIt’s about 30% above the national average. When I moved here in 79 it was worse, but the oilfield wages more than made up for it. The Mat-Su valley was mostly a bedroom community for slope workers and there was only 17,000 people in the Mat-Su then. Now there are about 120,000 in the borough. It’s nothing like when I moved here. The only way to really get away is to have an off-road place that people can’t drive to. We have one of those as do many people. Alaskans that have been here awhile don’t call a place remote if you can drive your car or truck to it.
Thank you for the beautiful ride on the train in Alaska. I love Alaska, I was born in California and still live here in the foothills. I watch the video's of Home Free Alaska and Simple Living Alaska. Great content on them. Hope you enjoyed your stay there.
What a great trip, and, as always, very well filmed and edited. Thank you!
What a fantastic coverage of whole journey. Thank you a lot .
Yes can't wait to see what you have been upto kuga ❤❤❤
listening to the ppl in the background is always so fun! i love these videos
You have such young hands for someone my age! Thanks for the video.
I rode this some years ago. I don't remember that it was so long a trip, however. I was impressed with the dining-car when I travelled. Elegant. Still seems good. The train to Seward is more scenic but when I rode it there was no dining-car.
What a stunning journey.
Wow! You really get around on your travels Kuga! I’m impressed! Great video 😊
Welcome to North America Kuga! This was a great video.
Are you going to take the Vancouver to Toronto one as well? That would be a treat for me (I live in Toronto) .. one day I will do it!!
PS: Yes America = Burger! And I say this with the utmost respect for the craftmanship of my neighbors skills in preparing this dish!! A good burger is all you need sometimes!
Wonderful ride.. We also enjoyed the trip 😊
I get that you like to travel and go on train trips in many parts of the world but from watching your channel I can honestly say that when I've seen your videos of Japanese trains that they are way superior to the rest of the world.
There are two countries where public transport is simply top notch; Switzerland and Japan.
Ive been all around Europe, and nothing compared to the punctuality and cleanliness of the Swiss there.
In the US starting around 1950 automobiles led to an end to long train rides. Development of modern intercity rail trnsport is just begining to return.
My oh my has the Alaska Railroad changed! Bigger, more modern railroad cars, prepared meals but they still stop for those Alaskans still living in the "bush." When I lived in Anchorage, Mt. Denali was known at Mt. McKinley. June 21, 22,and 23 are normally the shortest days of the year where there is actually no darkness, only what is known as Twilight
The train ride to Whittier is nice also. I used to live up there. If you get a chance, go to seven glaciers restaurant, humpy's, mooses tooth in Anchorage
The train ride to Whittier now goes all the way to Seward. Times and things do change.
What an AWESOME trip! Thank you for putting this together, think it's one of your best.
WE LOVE YOU TOO, KUGA!!
Замечательное путешествие!!!
This adventure has been added to my bucket list ⭐
Just been on this from Ancourage to seaword . 5 hours of paradise
I always thot Kuga is a young man on an adventure!!!...... Happy 70, me too! 😂😂😂
Another great adventure: Kuga - how do you stay so thing with all the food you eat???
Wonderful video of an amazing train journey - thank you very much, Kuga!
This was one of your bests posts ever! 👍 Were the seats in Gold Class assigned? I live in the US but in a state which has very little water. (It’s a big worry, trust me.) Anyway, all those trees, the rivers, the green. Wow! 🇺🇸
As always, I really liked your video as with all the others you have done! Wonderful! ❤❤
Loved this trip - there is something enormously appealing about Alaska, and would love to go there one day. You really sold the train journey, despite the cost, it did seem worth it. I would love to be one of those people who flag down the train as well, what a wonderful life style!
I did this trip twenty years ago. The train car was provided by Holland America, and very similar to yours. I had several overnights in Fairbanks, Denali and Anchorage. In Fairbanks I especially enjoyed the river cruise and a visit to the home of about 20 huskies. At Denali there was a four hour bus ride deep into the park. And from Anchorage there was a cruise of the Kenai Fjords National Park (my favorite). Alaska is a spectacular place, and a great way to see it is from the train.
I've just heard kuga say he was 70 if you ask me he looks fantastic for that age I thought he was only in his 30s ❤❤
I'm new to this channel and have seen his full profile only a couple of times. I thought he was in his early 20's at the most!
Me to Linda I was only guessing
Wait no way 😮
Definitely a joke, even Kuga-san's hands look young 😆
He's only eaten as much as a 70 year old. That was his stomach saying that.
Thank you Kuga, very cool!
Thank you very much for this great video! 🤩
The Alaskan Railroad used to have an overnight sleeper train called The Midnight Sun.
I really enjoyed this trip to Alaska with you. The room was ok. The food was good and the air nice and clean with plenty of views of Mt. Denali and the wild outdoors. I’m glad you enjoyed it. So where do we go next? lol 😂
22:42 interesting that the sign included Japanese but no other foreign languages as far as we could see. Is Fairbanks a popular destination for Japanese tourists?
that so fun to watch and reminded me of my Aunt and her friend going to Alaska via the Alaskan Highway and I have relatives that live in Alaska. That smoke salmon chowder looks very yummy. Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us.
This was a delight, and I am inspired!
Hi Kuga, I discovered your TH-cam channel by chance today. Thanks for this great video, for filming and editing. It's a beautiful journey, the nature is stunning and it's an adventure to imagine how this railway line was built 100 years ago. Gabi (Germany)
Thank you for watching!
Don't forget to subscribe to my channel!🤝
A wonderful journey! I have a friend who is an Alaskan native, and her ancestral homeland is so remote! I was shocked to hear that many places are only accessed by small plane. Trains and large cargo ships are the only way many goods access the state. This train looks scenic, but I wonder if you saw freight trains on the tracks along the way too?
What a great trip, finally you visited Alaska. I'm curious, between Seattle and Anchorage, is there any video? Yeah the wilderness is suitable for everyone who want to escape from daily routine.
Hopefully you can visit Mexico’s Mayan train when it’s available
Those windows on your car are fantastic!
I love your channel. I hope to ride some trains in Japan one day. Welcome to the US.
OMG..I THINK I WAS IN ALASKA! GREAT JOB! WONDERFUL! MERVEUILLESE! I LIKE TRAINS SO MUCH! THANKS FOR FILMING AND SHARING WITH US...BIIIIG LIKEEE!❤❤❤❤❤
good job 👍
Beautiful train journey through the Alaskan wilderness so exclusive. Great to know that the rail-section has 'Flag-stop' system to facilitate people living in remote hamlets that are in really inhospitable regions to board even this sort of luxury trains ! Class video! Thanks...best wishes!
Yes, those colours are VERY NS worthy hahaha. NS has a slightly lighter shade of blue though. (there are other train companies in the Netherlands, but they're not as widespread)
I was going to say the same thing about the blue! But I feel like in old pictures it often looked darker than it does now
@@Nynke_K Huh. I've actually seen a lot of pictures where it was an even lighter blue. But I'm only 30 hahaha. So it might have been darker before that XD
I am glad you enjoyed Alaska. On my trip to Alaska I went to Juneau.
A few years ago on American TV there was a program (series) about this flag stop train and how the people who lived along the line utilized it. If I ever find episodes on TH-cam I will be sure to let you know. It was a very good program.
You should take the Rocky Mountaineer train journey. The one that you took from New York to Chicago sucked. We only have a couple of trains left but we would love for you to come to Texas! Really enjoy your trips. Thank you
Thank you for the video! But I find it hard to believe you are 70 years old.
That seems very expensive for a one day trip, even with food included. But it's a once in a lifetime experience, especially for someone from Japan, so worth it.
The use of several different styles of rail cars is interesting, especially the 1950's vintage dome cars. As old as Kuga-san!
No bus service from the station to town, however, is inexcusable.
Agreed. When I arrived in Fairbanks on the train in 1992 an employee at the station gave me a lift to a hostel in town. That's Alaska.
It looks like there's a bus stop for the public bus system about a 10 minute walk away. But it seems like it would be so easy to have a city bus meet people at the train station when the train comes in and then then do a loop around the various hotels in town. Fairbanks isn't that big, so it wouldn't be hard to do.
Great video Sir 🫶🏻🇬🇧🫶🏻
You look very good for being 70 years old!
Thank You, great video. Alaska is very beautiful.
Beautiful scenery in an average of less looking train. Food😅looked blah, but glad cod was good. Ty for the trip
Nice! Thank you for sharing! 😊
I hope you get well soon!! Love your channel!! I think you can’t go wrong with teeshirts , I’m a 3X BTW
Awesome! I like so much train traveling and I admire Alaska. Thanks a lot for your nice video, Mr Kuga
Glad you enjoyed Alaska. I was there a long time ago and it was beautiful. I was in Juneau.
Love the open air thing. Btw did you know there are trains in Mexico and, surprisingly, Bolivia?
One of the best! Thanks
3:38 Hah! University of Fairbanks dude heading home from a presentation!!! I know those posters anywhere.
I enjoy a lot your trips!!!
Excellent train journey...
Great video. Thank you.
lovely video. thank you.
I've lived in Alaska my whole life (41 years), and I've never been on that train. 😂
We must get you and DownieLive together for a new adventure!
Nice!
So interesting, i want to go there oneday
Love the ride, it shows how beautiful Alaska is. However, I do have to ask, the statement you make at 20:08, is it for real? Please answer, and no, I'm not talking about the Cod.
He is surely joking.😅
Or, it was a typo, however, I've never seen typos on his videos.
Kuga!, ThanksMuch!
Sir you simply Awesome ❤❤❤
Part 2....December 21, 22, and 23 being the shortest days for sunlight usually only between 4 1/2 and 5 hours of daylight. You really never get used to the days changing so! I hope you had a good time while you were there. I am hoping to get back before much longer for a visit. Take care.
You were literally a week behind me. I did this trip on July 12.
Thanks!
Thank yooou！🤝
Sorry you didn't catch the moment of the famous flag post pickup/drop off. And the winter snow scenery is even more spectacular!
Ich bin Halb Deutscher und Halb Ami aber ihr könnt glauben was ihr wollt denn ich bin schon einmal mit der Transsiebierischen Eisenbahn von Moskau nach Novosibirsk gefahren und habe auch von ihrem Angebot gehört aber da empfehle ich die Russische Variante denn dieses Erlebnis vergisst man niemals
感谢分享
Kuga-san, what has been your favourite American meal so far?
Dziekuje za tlumaczenia polskie pozdrawiam 🌻🌻🌻🇵🇱🇵🇱
So relaxing! Why didn't you have reindeer?
I remember when we could buy one square foot of Alaska for about 20 bucks... but couldn't figure out how to get to it without stepping on some else's.
Are these the same doubl deckcrs used on the "Rocky Mountaineer"?
Seeing the trains in your country makes me feel great that your government has trains that are beautiful,clean, nice to use and worth using.But in my country (Thailand) where trains have been used for more than 100 years,but it has never been developed.Even the train locomotives and carriages still need to accept donations from Japan.Even though my country has money from the budget. But because my country is full of corruption ! I don't know that in the rest of my life I will see and ride on a good train. Is this beautiful?
“America, I love you”. Ask them if they love your country too?
What were the two dome cars at the end of the train. I noticed that they were not in Alaska RR colors. Looks like a wonderful experience. I am envious! ! !
A lot of the cruise lines have their own versions of a luxury dome cars in Alaska and some lovely shore excursions. They pay the Alaska RR to tow their guests and cars around.
Most people do eat it that way 19:09 but I don't.
You should try our burgers with mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard! 🍔
