Homogenous cultures breed high trust societies. Every japanese citizen feels invested(literally like on a family level) in keeping a functioning society.
Nice video, great way to see that part of japan. Too bad the driver stuck his radio in the way even so a look at a streetcar operation that is right out of the past. Love it.
Great memories about my recently two trips to Japan (Hiroshima, Osaka, Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto and walking near towns). Amazing the SkyTree Tower, aaaaaaaaaaaand any body listen the external sound, the sound at the streets??? No NOISE by the cars, japanese cities better than us cities. The work of a construction, CLEAR!!!
Japan is a very clean and well managed country. People are very polite, well behaved and educated. This country is usually recognized and treated as a western country, not a typical Asian country.
Loved it seeing places you would never see. Also just like everyone else all busy working or going to work school . I noticed all the small cars box shaped are these Nissan notes? Really enjoyed thanks.
I love how everyone drives those little car. I wonder why we in Europe didn't go with that design principle. Our roads would be much better utilised if we drive smaller cars.
Hi, I like this so much I took a second ride. It reminds me of the Streetcars (trams) we used to have here in Chicago back in the '50s. Ours were larger, but they looked similar. Thanks for the ride.Ray Z.
Спасибо! Отличный городской трамвайчик. Звук, треск, шум, вибрация камеры - полное погружение в динамику движения. Как бы свою остановку не проехать и бежать домой обедать лапшой быстрого приготовления. Поклон за видео.
It's super interesting how starting around 1:03:13 the train is both single-tracked and on a street, in this case going the wrong way down the road. It's something you'd have a hard time getting away with in the US, but here with the way the streets are already really narrow and have pedestrians walking around everywhere I guess drivers just learn to take it slow and be ready for just about anything to happen.
"the train is both single-tracked and on a street" This is a near duplicate of the situation in Boston along Commonwealth Avenue. Right in front of Boston University. The Boston light rail runs faster, the MBTA carries many more passengers, must contend with numerous student crossings between classes, and traffic along Comm Ave is much heavier and traveling at a more rapid pace. Nonetheless, the relaxed trip on the Kōchi rail system is thoroughly comforting and pleasant. A marked improvement over the MBTA.
Please come Japan after the COVID-19. Today’s world are panicking because of the COVID-19, also Japan. Here’s city Kochi is also panicking every day. And COVID-19 make this tram reduced flights. But we have new type tram now. And our city has changing every year, every day, even now. I wish you and all people all over the world can travel around the world like before the COVID-19 again.
Dear Aunz Railfan, i love your videos. Please can you write the places we see also with our letters so we know, where you were and what city or countryside we see. Thank you again for your great videos...
This was great. A bit unfair on the tram having to wait so long when no traffic crossing at 23:29. How old is this? Trams seem quite elderly? A pity towards the end the driver put the "pass key/radio" loop in front of what was otherwise an excellent video. Look forward to more. Greetings from Australia.
Good observation! These two stations have the shortest distance in between in all of Japan - only 64meters. I believe a new station was created but a school nearby wanted to keep the old one as well.
у этого автора есть ещё ролик на 3 часа 40 минут... вот это путешествие! идеальный симбиоз природы, технологий и человека. Да просто всё кажется таким маленьким, игрушечным и компактным, как в детском супермаркете)
Thank you Aunz Railfan san for posting these nice videos! I love the view from driver's cabin, Japan is such a wonderful place! May i ask you to add the name of the starting station in western characters too? Sorry but i do not know Japanese but i would like to know wich place i am watching. Thank you
This city is Kochi city in Japan. I like this city, because there are mountains, forests, rivers, sea, and city. By the way, most cities have nothing garbage cans. But almost all Japanese people think we should not throw the trash on the road or river. And bring back trash to home, to make there’s city beautiful. So there are no trash in the city.
🙂👍 👍 .. WOW.. Super interessant.. Sowas sehe ich sehr selten das ein Zug so nah an Häusern entlang fährt und das ohne Zäune und anderen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen.. Ich habe so etwas ähnliches gesehen, über RU-vid natürlich, in Vietnam.. Ich habe jetzt echt Lust darauf mal dorthin zu fahren und mir das ganz nah anzusehen..
