@trains_worldwide 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, Rikubetsu's train station isn't only closed for the winter months, but the entire line that passes through stopped service in 2006, due to declining population in the region. It was called the Furusato Ginga Line, and was the only form of public transportation for over 100 kilometers. Rikubetsu Station and the trains stored there are a memorial of the line, once the main way in and out of the cold town.

Shouldn't more profitable lines subsidize these smaller town unprofitable lines since they are the only possible mass transit available? Closing down tracks will only accelerate the depopulation of these small towns. Maybe some people think that's a good thing. I don't.

@PerfectSense77 11 месяцев назад

@@gnarlin4964The voters on those more profitable lines would probably have something to say about where their financial inputs go (not unreasonably) and the politicians they elect probably aren’t too concerned about rural townships that won’t get them reelected.

It's fascinating to see the influence of the Ainu people, who were the traditional natives of Hokkaido, before Japan was established. It's important to promote and appreciate such unique places and the arts and crafts that were part of the indigenous culture. If you're in Hokkaido, highly recommend visiting the Ainu village at Lake Akan. It's a picturesque town with symbolic owls and a connection to nature.

My Japanese teacher some years ago was part Ainu, his grandma was Ainu - and he had blue eyes from her. He told us about how growing up just outside of Tokyo he was treated differently and ‘other’ just because of his eyes from his grandma, and how he felt when he was a child and teenager when he wished his eyes were brown as well… As an adult be moved to the U.K. and became a Japanese teacher, when I met him he was much older (basically semi retired) and proud of his heritage. He made sure to teach us not only Japanese language and culture, but also he taught us Ainu culture. I hope that things are better for the Ainu now as Japan has become a little more international, because his stories of how his grandma was treated were not good.

A landlocked town being the coldest in Japan makes more sense than you'd think. Any town near a large body of water will have a milder temperature range, as the water helps mediate the temperatures throughout the year. That doesn't mean they don't have wicked hot or cold days, just not as often.

It feels like Chris was made to create this kind of content. The professional shots, the gorgeous B-roll, the occasional bits of history (but never too long) and the fantastic mix of genuine storytelling vs just goofy, normal jokes. The whole Ainu bit at the start is a great example of why this channel is just great. We get a concise rundown of the Ainu history and who they are, followed by Pete explaining how important it is to acknowledge something like that and then Chris barges in with a deliciously bad joke on purpose to break up this serious topic and get the viewers smoothly back into the video. I mean, that's just really well done. Could've gone wrong in so many ways. Chris just really knows his shit and it's a delight to see.

@sirmione905 9 месяцев назад

The explanation in this video is not quite right. Ainu has been recognized as an indigenous people for a long time. Back in 1899, Japanese Government made a law to protect them as an indigenous people. Then in 1997, they made a new law specifically to protect their own culture. In 2019, the newest law was established to encourage local governments to use more budget in various ways to support Ainu communities. Majority of Ainu have been blending with Japanese people and their own culture and language are almost disappearing. In 2007, United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted and it encouraged the establishment of this new law.

I mean it's said to death but, it's something worth saying, damn it! Fantastic content all around. This channel is something that I could honestly, without a doubt, say is totally unique to RU-vid. The style, humor, production (not only in expenses, but talent!) and presentation is something I could only identify coming from Abroad in Japan.

As a swede I'd say the Ainu are very much like the indigenous people of the north of the Nordic countries; the Sami/Sápmi people (and, sadly, with a similar history of colonisation and forced assimilation). The "Vikings of Hokkaido" do sound extremely cool tho.

@tomihakala9522 11 месяцев назад

Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking about as well. And because of big tourism in Lapland there is also a lot of fake "Sámi people" dressed in the traditional clothing and taking advantage of ancient Sámi culture for profit. Very sad thing to see. The real Sámi people are reindeer herders too.

When I saw it was only -28c I was quickly reminded of a place I lived in that would commonly get as low as -57c or even lower. Nothing like a frozen blood icicle coming from your nose while the liquid in your eyes is slowly freezing over, all the while you cant feel a thing.

Honestly insane how you manage to make amazing videos every time. Like so good they’re genuinely kinda addictive, love it.

My home state of Wisconsin (US) has a climate very similar to Hokkaido but with less snow. In winter we have things like the "polar bear plunge," where a hole is cut in a frozen lake and people jump in. The cold shock often causes their limbs to seize up, so it's essential to have volunteers to fish people out.

Minnesota too! Frozen lakes are integral to the upper Midwest experience lol my college in northern Minnesota let the students park for free on the lake during the winter so we could save some money

In Newfoundland we don't use fishing lines we use jig lines, which is essentially a fishing line and hook wrapped around a stick... Also since I know there's snowmobiles in Japan I'm 100% going now during the winter. Also the ice gets so think here in Alberta Canada we drive our trucks across the ice... I pull up on the lake in a 1ton truck and ice fish. Usually spend the night there too

These kinds of video from abroad in japan reminds me of the documentaries I watched as a child (especially like those drone shots with a crisp and clear voice over). I think that's a huge reason for me to love the series!! Thank you Chris, and your team, for the amazing work

@Tojoblindeye 11 месяцев назад

Lol pete. We do things like this in The US all the time, you just gotta go north where the lakes freeze deep enough to do that. My grandmas lake by her cabin becomes a mini city with ice fishing houses the size of small busses on them.
