Wow.. Me and my wife travelled in this train in April 2019. Got down at Hida Furukawa. Enjoyed the yearly lively and lovely festival. The people were wonderful. Also pretty village. Then boarded again at Hida Furukawa for Toyama. Loved this train. Then enjoyed the snow-laden corridor.
@@streetvideos260 no kidding. School kids would rush over and take my picture and autograph like I was from Mars or something. And it was affordable then.
Truly excellent…I had no idea that Japanese Railways had alpine type mountain railways! Superb engineering too…a great treat. Many thanks fromRob In Bournemouth on the south coast of England.
Hi railfan aunz, thank you my friend for providing me with this successful and pleasurable glimpse into the rail cars of Japan country, which has the most successful high-speed rails globally.
I took this train Takayama with my family, three generations, it was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Three plus hours of visual entertainment and pleasure! Crossing and recrossing the river was spectacular. Simply wonderful!
It's one of the programs under JET (which is open to native English speakers from outside Japan), where you can be hired to record for various businesses (including bus and train networks) under a government contract. Although unlike the ALT side of JET, you need to be at least an N2 rating on the JLPT to qualify for that position.
Beautiful scenery. Wish it were in early spring where you could see everything from the blooming spring flowers and foliage to maybe a possible snowfall. Too bad you don't get to see anything special during their festival in April. Keep up the good work, Railfan Aunz!Arigato!
60 tunnels What a lot of work that went into building that particular rail line. And given that line's age it wasn't an easy feat to plan and then dig out. Also there were two Yokai in the train, just staring at the camera. But only visible while in the tunnels. 58:24 `_ • • •••••••• Then later, about 2 thirds through the way, they suddenly change expression. Spooky 2:39:45 '________ • • ••••
I wish I knew a limited express was available. The one I rode stopped at every station and we had to wait 30 minutes for another train to pass. We took the Tokaido line from Hamamatsu and took the Takayama main line from Gifu. The whole trip took 11 hours. On the way back, we actually rode a bus to Nagoya and took the Tokaido line to Hamamatsu. The whole trip only took 8 hours. My back was killing me on the first trip and I’m never doing that again.
Missed riding this line from Nagoya to Toyama, usually riding this everytime, but eventually changed to bus much cheaper by bus. But the scenery on this line is Superb as always!
Una vista hermosa, que se puede ver todos los días para quienes trabajan. llevando a su destinó a los usuarios.que bello país y localidades tan tranquilas.👋🇲🇽.
Did you travel the route last Feb? My trip to Japan was ruined by this frigging Corona situation. I was supposed to be in Tokyo last April, then ride with the Shinkansen all the way down to Kagoshima. That all went wrong, though now I'm planning a new trip, possibly next fall.
A lot of this reminds me of Appalachia in parts of eastern Kentucky and western West Virginia. I get why the Japanese have been interested in that area over the years because of the land.
A smooth and speedy ride through plains and hilly regions.This cab view is a good one as the driver was out of our viewing area, and our ride was thus not disturbed by his gestures and physical presence and movements. [Cab view trains should switch on their lights when in a tunnel, because you can't see a thing in the dark.]
OK Video, too bad the camera didn't have stabilization or positioned on a gimbal. The constant jerky motion made me feel seasick and gave me a headache. Otherwise it would have been a great video.
Fahrt von Nagoya, Präf. Aichi, nach Toyama Station, Präf. Toyama. Nach 22:10 Minuten Fahrt mit Blick aus dem Heck-Führerstand wendet der dieselelektrisch betriebene Zug in Gifu und fährt nach einer Minute Wechsel-Halt auf eingleisiger, nicht elektrifizierter Strecke der Takayama Line - als Führerstandsmitfahrt - durch das romantische Hida-Tal über Gero und Takayama bis zur Kopfstation Toyama.
Another great Japanese cab view video from this channel! I was wondering, can anyone explain the large yellow structures on the river bank and either side of the line at 1:25:38?
They appear to be "can openers", structures that an over height vehicle would hit before the bridge. It took me a few tries to see, but it looks like there's another road lane under the big arms on the river side, and the arms on both sides are marked with the clearance height (3.8m on the hillside, 4.4 under the big arms).
Empty stations, empty seats. Is passenger rail in poor economic condition in Japan? From the appearance, there has been heavy investment in highways. People travel by highway now? .. (Edit) Lots of passengers waiting to get on at a station in the resort/historic city.
Japan government may be made mistake in future plans, this train route keeping single track , in future expansion.either no land to expand ever thought of second track route for up down train run
