Riding the Japanese Fastest Bullet Train on a Big Freezing day 

Bad weather doesn't stop the Japanese trains like some countries - I'm looking at you - the UK

In New York we do not have high speed trains and if there is word of incoming snow everything gets shut down and public transportation gets you stranded trying to get to work and back home. On a sunny day we are lucky to see a train hit 35miles(50km) per hour.

コレぞ正しく如何なる極寒豪雪にも負けぬ現代の小野小町ですね！＾＾

雪の静かな発車、轟音の320km/h、堺アナはひたすらエモいです。ありがとうございます。

In my country a few snow flakes creates chaos. Even for our slow trains.

best trains of the world in Japan thank you!

What a beautiful train! 😍

Thank you for yet another fantastic video!

At this moment, I was in Kyoto and it also snowed heavily, which is surprising.

I watching this, with spring just around the corner here in Europe. 1 week and spring is here...

That's real railroading there. One day I will travel to Japan and ride the different trains there, taste the delicious foods there and sightseeing. I know the railroads there are 10 times better than the railroads here in this crooked USA.

Wow!! Premo!!

Поражает чистота в Японии и обновление инфраструктуры .Практический нет плохого асфальта.

chinese state media : japanese bullet trains in china are our own invention indonesia : great to hear that coz we bought a batch of chinese-made japanese bullet trains too

Was the bird chirping noise a notification?

Simply superb

On my dream list!

Wish we had this in the states. Unfortunately we have Amtrak :(

unbelievable

what application do you use for measuring the speed?

You say Akita to Morioka is at slow speed over local lines. Since Japan is narrow gauge except for Sinkansen which is standard gauge, how did they do this? From Google, I do not see twin gauge tracks. Was the whole line from Morioka to Akita converted to snadrads gauge and local trains also use sandard gauge?

Comming soon in India's Ahmedabad to Mumbai bullet train 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃 Thank you japan 🗾

🤔 very smooth and quiet ride for high speeds

Ye bullet train gorakhpur to leh laddakh lao.

What do we have to do to get a train like this in the US?

What about a small freezing day?

INDONESIA IS THE BEST

💗💗💗💗 Tom from Hungary.

In japan in adverse whether situation Note Local train speed limit will be 130 km/ only. Meanwhile indian trains we are launching our super high speed train vande Bharat that will run with the speed of 130/km h 🤣

320km/h = 200mph

Fantastic! 316 kms/hr on a snowy day. Great respect for the railway personnel to make this happen.

I'm in italy. We have high speed trains too but I gotta tell you that Japanese trains are at another level. Very very cool.

Vande Bharat train in India always stopped due to cattles on the track

And here in Canada people say that we can't build high speed rail because of the weather... sure

Amazing japan love from India 🔥🔥

Pure engineering marvel.. such high speeds under such conditions and absolutely no vibrations inside.. if you are a mechanical engineer - you’d understand the complexity of this design!!

Best trains and service in the world is in Japan! Greetings from Ireland!

If you are traveling in the snowy mini Shinkansen section, I recommend the seats near the back of the first car. You can clearly see how the snow that has been pushed off flows past the window.

What an impressive bullet train....

I love Japan 🇯🇵

I love Japan 🇯🇵🇯🇵 and I wish I would have been born there. Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳

The train is very cool. But that's know I could feel it freezing. I hope you able to stay warm during that and not slip and slide and fell down. Great video though I really enjoyed it

雪の新幹線は本当に最高ですね

It's funny how in the states and Canada, with infinitely more space available and VASTLY greater distances to travel, train travel is no different than it was in the 1950s.

Japanese Trains are Top Notch! , nothing like it

日本は地震大国…高速鉄道はその速さだけじゃなく安全性が重視されてる…としてもかなり速い

I am Japanese but live in a warmer climate, so this is the first time I have seen a bullet train running in the snow. I was surprised to see it running at a speed of 320 km/h despite the snow!😱 I salute the drivers and railway staff who keep the bullet train running in the snow.

I love Japan everything is Systematic clean hightec and beautiful culture with beautiful people

Japanese are well cultured... they have their country as clean as their home..truly home.. lot of respect from BHARATHA..

In North America, at least in the great plains, we've had one of the warmest winters of the last 20 years, and very little snow, which has made me quite sad. It made me very happy to see all the snowy forests passing by the window. Thanks for posting!

Been on E5/E6s numerous times. Once was on a combined E5/E6 during an icy Winter storm just south of Morioka when a sheet of rhime ice detached and slammed back against the rail car (was in the Green car) body while we were at 320 kph. Sounded like an explosion and the emergency systems worked quickly to bring us to an emergency stop. After 75 minutes, two inspections and apologies by JR staff for the delay we declared OK and the journey resumed.

316 km/hr is almost 200 mph! Amazing technology! I wonder if the air friction on the nose of that train melted all the ice? The outside of that train looked shiny clean after that trip.

I’m in Canada. Our trains go as fast as sashimi covered in peanut butter on a sandy beach.

Many thanks! Best wishes from Austria!

Trains that run on time in bad weather and are blazing fast! I remember my Dad who once said that when he was young trains in Germany were slow but at least punctual. I love Japanese technology!

Amazing japanes technology 👍

very cool footage

運転席から 見える300km以上の 雪って どんな感じなんだろう!?

以前、シベリア鉄道が全天候型新幹線に置き換わる話が出てましたね。

Living in the uk if we have a slight snow the country grinds to a halt how i envy the Japanese rail system

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Also, seeing Akita is a bit of a bonus for me, as years ago, I heard one of their AM radio stations from here in Melbourne Australia. Incidentally, there is certainly plenty of snow there.

the beginning scene is so epic! One heavy-duty machine under the harsh weather condition 🚝❄

If this was the UK, there would be no trains running.

i firmly believe that high speed rail will trump air travel, especially for short distances like san francisco to los angeles. why would one pay a business class seat when they are only going to be sitting there for like an hour or so and spend the rest sitting in the terminal, together with the coach paying passengers while waiting for the plane? there is not even much difference in the seats between business class and coach on domestic flights. i believe, business class is now only for trans oceanic flights or flights more than 6 hours. and if this video was at an airport, the flight would probably have been delayed or worse cancelled already. but here we see, it's all business as usual for them.

Wooo..320kmph nice to see Japanese bullet train ❤️woo so cool love form india

Clean, Fast, Efficient, Punctual, Modern, Comfortable. What is not to like? Compared to our nonsense system its spectacular!

the train look absolutely gorgeous in the freezing cold.

The train with earthquake proof which is no other countries can provide.

That looks awesome but something goes wrong and everyone is dead or wishes they were .

Congratulation. I am from Germany. We dont have this Level of perfection here. Our Train System is a mess.

Amazing 🤩 Japan Watching you from London England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧

サムネがカッコイイですね。

3:10 "The next stop is Omagari. It will change direction at Omagari" WTF? I had to look this up, and it's true. The train pulls into the station at this town, then it pulls back out the way it came, shunts to another track, and just keeps going down the new track! Apparently the seats can rotate on this train if you prefer to continue to face forward? Cool!

The train's name, Komachi, refers to handsome girls in Akita prefecture, by the way.

Nice train. Awesome.

Exhilarating stuff. What beautiful stations.

Apparently Japan also builds good earthquake proof buildings!

Why is it that Japan's bullet trains (SHINKANSEN) have been able to run for almost 60 years without derailment and without passenger casualties, even after major earthquakes? And why is it possible for high-speed Shinkansen trains to operate safely in the snow without interruption, despite the fact that Japan is one of the world's snowiest winter regions? This is possible because the Shinkansen makes use of Japan's abundant water resources, and all the mechanisms are designed from the manufacturing stage with the occurrence of natural disasters in mind. The Shinkansen is not designed for high-speed operation alone. Therefore, even if one were to copy and imitate in form only the mechanism of the Japanese Shinkansen, which can run even in snow, it would not be able to operate stably in the heavy snowfalls. The reason for this is that Japan, an island nation, and China, a continent, have completely different topographies and weather conditions, but there is no consideration or improvement for these differences. It is not surprising that simply duplicating a mechanism that fundamentally overlooks these geopolitical and climatic differences will not work. This is because the environmental requirements and problems to be solved are different from those in Japan. Snow removal methods invented in Japan can only be used in the Japanese environment. Because Japan is a geopolitically volcanic island, it has a natural environment with an abundance of clear water that gushes out almost for free. The snow removal system was conceived and designed based on this abundance of water. In the first place, on an arid continent where water resources are scarce, this method cannot be used and will not work from the start. The only way to deal with this is to come up with a different method suited to the continental environment from scratch. Nevertheless, if this point is ignored and the system is simply copied from Japanese mechanisms, Japanese snow removal methods and mechanisms for high-speed rail in a continental environment will be wasteful, costly, and unprofitable. We must not forget that Japan has an idiom that warns against wasteful spending, "use it like hot or cold water," and that everyone uses this phrase as a matter of course in their daily lives. To understand the feeling and common sense of this idiom, you must live in the special environment of Japan yourself to realize it. In other words, Japanese technology has been developed and perfected by using wisdom and making improvements upon improvements to overcome Japan's unique and special natural environment and to take advantage of the resources it is blessed with. If we are to imitate them, we must learn from this process of thinking and devising unique ways of thinking from the natural environment. What Japanese religion, culture, behavior, norms, and traditions have in common is the existence of a natural environment that is the antithesis of good and evil. Japan is a land of abundant fresh water and food resources compared to anywhere else in the world, and at the same time, it is a land of harsh, large-scale natural disasters that occur on a regular basis. In order to survive as a species in this environment, they have developed a way of thinking that does not deny the environment, but rather accepts it, and how to coexist with it, making the most of the rich parts of nature and overcoming the dangerous parts of the natural environment. This is the common underlying factor and way of thinking across a wide range of Japanese cultures. This is not something that people around the world who grow up in different environments have in common. Even among Asian countries, the cultures and ways of thinking that have developed in continental and island countries are naturally different because of their completely different environments.

The UK is third rate when comparing trains, in fact it’s rock bottom !!

Up to Morioka a romantic train ride through the snowy mountain landscape. From Morioka to Omiya, what I love most in Japan Railways. I'm from Poland, but I live in Germany. In Germany trains rushing up to 300km/h, but in the snowly weather speed is limited to 200km/h, so German ICE high-speed trains are permamently delayed in winter :-) In my homeland - Poland fastest trains run up to 200km/h, so in winter condition speed limiting are not necesery. In the short time perspective speed will be increased up to 250km/h on the north-south bound from Warsaw to Katowice and Kraków, but I don't think we need speed limiting in bad weather condiions. Thanks for your video. Greetings.

And in Canada we can't even get a subways running on time

Yes, our trains stop if the WRONG type of leaves fall onto the rails !! It's such a joke in our transport system in uk!!!!

I love trains and grew up in a semi rural area. The snow covered picturesque towns are very beautiful.

Japanese are genius people on the planet no other breed can side walk the Japan breed

Those trains are amazing and spotless.

In India, opposition party would pay assholes to throw stones at such efficient machines.

I stayed in tokyo 6 yrs ago and just rode the shinkansen every morning north and south......so fricking cool!!!

This is awesome but American politicians are stupid so we can’t have nice things like this 😢

I really wish to visit Japan one day. It look so clean and beautiful . Unlike here in NY.

"Riding The Fastest Bullet Train On A Winter Day"

As an American I can only sigh and watch in wonder at such beautifully appointed and fast-moving trains. The amazing snowy landscape and mountains flashing by are a bonus. Thanks for posting!

Love that it's quiet and pleasant and non-stressful. Quite unlike the Eurostar.

Video watching in India 😀

A video about something visual and he posted it in 720p. WTF! You're in Japan for christ sake. Buy a better camera.

日本は安全な320 キロ、中国は危険な320キロ。？

Not only do fast trains run normally when deep freezer happens in Japan, birds sing too. Listen @0:37

Very clean. Well maintained. No graffiti. No gangs walking through the cars bothering passengers and harassing women. Obviously this isn't in an American urban environment.

I rode that train back in the 90s, both north-line to Awamori-Ken and later south-line to Fouoka from Tokyo. I like how the train slowly and gain accelerates and the tracks are amazing not to add elevate across roads ( Their's no possibility of a car/truck+train accident ) Then in side you have a Japan food/drink beverage lady offering you drinks and snacks.

Really enjoyed the video both inside and outside of such a sleek incredibly fast and smooth ride. It was nice to see the countryside too when the train was throttled back to 130. Nice job. Thank you
