Salamat sa iyong komento. Maraming tao ang nagulat sa kalinisan ng mga lungsod ng Hapon. Gayundin, mayroong mas kaunting krimen. Ito ay isang bagay na dapat ipagmalaki nating mga Hapones.

少ない本数でも、中間駅からはお客様が乗っているので、需要が皆無ということではありませんからね。何か、夢が欲しいところです。

Во всех поездах 15 вагонов. Это приведет к переизбытку предложения, но японские железные дороги, как правило, не меняют составы поездов в соответствии со спросом.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for your comment. The area west of Fujisawa Station is a line with a relaxed landscape. In the past, this line had a terrible rush hour, but in recent years, it has been alleviated, and since this video was taken on a holiday, there were not many trains heading to Tokyo. If the houses were built a little more spaced out, it would be a truly attractive landscape, but in the suburbs of Tokyo, that is a dream.

You are a good observer. This line is very crowded. So I got up early on a holiday morning and headed to Tokyo Station. I waited until the weather was clear. It was a calculated move. (^^; Being able to see Mt. Fuji was something I hadn't planned on.

Thank you for your comment. I was also concerned about the camera shaking and noise, but since the weather was so nice, I decided to upload the video. Your positive comments made me feel at ease.

Mount Fuji San You know, I believe.

I was also happy because I didn't think I would be able to see Mt. Fuji from this spot.

@@14ikesan12 White top improove contrast. :) From my dormitory balcony (c.a. 35.3522, 139.3606) with a view of Fuji San (Oct/98) with snow and without (I have a few pictures). The Sagami River boulevard - with the nearby keirin stadium (in my memory) visited on Sunday, and Grand Hotel (!) on the left Hiratsuka St. ... Awesome ! Thank's a lot !

@@MarBiel You live in a nice place. The sea is a little far away, but you can get there by bicycle. If you're too close to the sea, the sea breeze can be a problem, but it's a matter of personal preference. In January, you can see the "ekiden" relay race. The view of Mt. Fuji is a treasure for people who live on the west side of Tokyo.

@@14ikesan12 I know. Around October mid something changed with the end of typhoon ride observed in tv (from Taiwan ...) last days. At Hiratsuka it was weak, but for me this was quite new experien (Saturday-Sunday night). On Sunday I took a walk along Sagami rigth riverside to (under train bridge) Sagami Bay. @ 12:21 on left we see former car parking. Keirin fans ?

Thank you for your comment. I am improving the image quality little by little. Actually, it is not possible to do it little by little. It will be better tomorrow ← I intend to do so. Please be patient with me.

Why ?

I get asked that question a lot. I think it's because I want to focus on the scenery, which is what interests me, rather than the numerous instruments and pillars in the driver's compartment. I want to focus on the direction in which the switches open and the length of the sidings. If I could get my lens inside the cab, I could get a wider angle of view. But the railway company won't allow that. It's also not allowed for TV stations or newspaper cameras. So if I try to take a wide shot from behind the cab, the pillars will be in the picture. There are many Japanese CZcamsrs who take videos in this way. Thank you for your comment.

@@14ikesan12 *Thanks for your reply, it was in no way a criticism of your excellent work. With Zoom sometimes video seems shaky, but not always, so I thought to ask if it is possible not to use it, however, I understand there are a few limitations. As always excellent coverage you do and hope to see more from you soon, take care.*

@@RustamShah Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I want everyone who watches my videos (including myself) to be satisfied. If 100% is not possible, then 90%. If 90% is not possible, then 80%. I try to make the process enjoyable for myself. Please continue to give me your feedback. Without it, I won't make any progress.

Thank you very much. Cab view filming is a sensitive topic even in Japan. Many railway companies do not allow filming by TV stations, newspapers, or for commercial purposes. The reason is announced as a measure against terrorism. However, I feel that this is just an excuse, and the real reason is that it is simply considered troublesome to deal with. A president of a railway company told me that if there is even one piece of garbage on CZcams, the railway company will receive a complaint. Is it okay or not? Anyway. The situation is becoming like that. However, filming is still allowed about 10 to 20 years ago, when cab views became a boom and many products were released. The medium is VHS. It is still widely distributed on the market. If that is the case, why were those products allowed and are not allowed now? Now many fans and even mothers with small children stand behind the driver's seat and look ahead. Sometimes people take pictures with their smartphones (I am one of them (^^;) And, although this was really careless, a railway company itself posted the cab view on CZcams. Of course, this has a huge effect, but it makes the reason for regulation disappear. Regulations will likely continue to be strengthened. However, cab views are a great asset for passengers. What if a cab view from 50 years ago was discovered? I would be happy to see it. It would also have great historical value. But that was not possible with the old video equipment. If that is the case, I believe we should do what we can now. Sorry, this is a long post.

There are announcements in Japanese too. However, since both are native speakers, many words are abbreviated. English announcements are more formal.

A lot of foreign tourists come to Japan. The announcements on the trains are recorded, but the English of Japanese train staff is still very poor. However, it has improved a lot.

В детстве я тоже жил недалеко от главной дороги и привык к шуму. Теперь я слышу звук движения Синкансена у себя дома. Ночью после тайфуна поезда могут ходить примерно до 14:00.

@14ikesan12 Да, ситуации похожи, но я так и не привык к шуму. 👍

I would like to upload the local train on the Iida Line, uncut, in the future. It takes 6 hours one way. Viewers' opinions may be divided. Thank you for your comments.

I think there are a lot of different trains running.　😐

Thank you for your comment. Actually, I take this route quite a lot, so I feel a bit embarrassed.

Right now, all of Japan's regional railways are in financial difficulty. I think the politics are wrong.🙁

This route was opened in the 1870s, and of course, various improvements have been made, but the location of the tracks and the relationship with the towns have not been completely redrawn. It is not clear from the video, but even so, the number of crossings has been significantly reduced. Trains with double-decker cars are mainly trains that run over 50 km, and the double-decker cars are what we call first class. There was a time when all-double-decker trains were made in Japan, but in the end, only a few were made. This is because Japan has a high population concentration compared to major European cities, and as a result, people tend to dislike long stops at stations. During my several trips to Europe, I saw various cities that were not too densely populated, and I felt very envious. What will the railways be like in 50 years? This is a difficult question to imagine. I don't have a very good feeling about it. This is because the railway companies themselves have lost their passion. Private railways that are lively and small in scale, such as Enoden, may remain as they are now.

Thank you for your comment. My plan is to go to Fujisawa Station, which is about 25 minutes from Yokohama, next time. After that, I will go to Hiratsuka Station, which is about 15 minutes from there (I will be on the train up to here). From there, I plan to go to Odawara, Atami, Mishima, etc., and I will be there. I'm thinking of waiting a while before getting on the train after that. How far can I go?

@@14ikesan12 For your information my first train route on JR was Narita->Yokohama(Narita Express)&Yokohama->Hiratsuka(brown/green line). Typing from Polando (Polska).

Thank you so much.

Sorry.

This line used to be a main line of the Japanese National Railways. Limited express trains were also operated, and the stations were built long in preparation for these trains. However, with the opening of the Shinkansen, this line was converted into a third-sector railway. Third-sector railways do not operate long-distance trains, so the spacious facilities became over-specified. To be honest, this is a political mistake, or in other words, a political poverty. The Japanese national character, which hates political change to an extreme extent, has caused a major stagnation. I feel that European railways are also being pushed into a corner. However, I felt that they have not lost their pride like Japan. I have stopped in Stuttgart once. However, my memory has become vague. Thank you for uploading the video. Please continue to work at your own pace. I may also remember many things. By watching the video. As always, thank you for your thoughtful comments.

Thank you very much for the kind words and lines - I am happy that we can exchange ideas about our shared interest in the railway despite the great distance 🙏👍 Your views and opinions on the development of the railway in Japan are very far-sighted and clever - in some cases it is exactly the same here in Germany as in Japan: the official railway operators, in our case the JNR and DB AG, have given many of their lines and tasks to private railway operators, and there has also been a long-standing negligence in the care and maintenance of tracks and railway facilities, many things look run down, on our main line from Stuttgart to Würzburg three connected barrier systems have therefore broken down and now have to be temporarily operated BY HAND by an employee, just like 100 years ago... very undignified for the residents of this area, as they have to wait a very long time in front of closed barriers until they can cross by car again, and of course also very inconvenient for ambulances, fire brigades and police in the event of an operation!!! Regarding my own videos: I'm not currently planning any longer videos like the ones you offer, for example: 1.) My film equipment is not good enough to deliver the quality that is expected these days - the small Canon digital camera has its limitations in terms of both operation and quality, films work best with the iPhone 13! Unfortunately, it gets very warm and hot when used for a long time, the software crashed once because of this and stopped working 🫤 Maybe I'll buy the Panasonic Lumix S5II with the right lenses... we'll see. 2.) I can't do Cab View rides on the modern locomotives of the German railways: the driver's cabs of the locomotive drivers are all separated from the passenger area (with lockable doors), so filming is only possible as a locomotive driver or with special permission after applying to the railway company! It's a shame, that was still possible with older locomotives, but not anymore today. Feel free to stop by my little CZcams channel from time to time. I have also created playlists of the three tracks in my home region - here you will either find my own shorts - some of them identical to those on Instagram - but also interesting films from other channel operators.

Addendum: I forgot to make all playlists public in my own account - it has now been done ☺️

This is to prevent passing trains from colliding head-on. When a train is approaching from the opposite direction, this point opens towards the siding. If a runaway train were to get there, it would be guided towards the siding and derail, but it would extend onto the main line to prevent a head-on collision with the oncoming train. If the oncoming train passes this point safely, the switch opens towards the main line, allowing the train to continue in that direction. This is called a safety siding. However, with the development of safety devices in recent years, there are fewer switches like these that can derail trains. すれ違う列車を正面衝突させないためです。反対側から列車が来る時に、このポイントは側線の方向に開きます。そこに列車が暴走してきたら、列車は側線の方向に導かれ脱線しますが、列車が本線側に進み、向かってくる列車と正面衝突することを防ぎます。向かってくる列車が無事にこの場所を通過したら、分岐器は本線の側に開き、列車は本線の方向に走ることができます。「安全側線」という名前です。ただし、近年は保安装置が発達し、このような、列車を脱線させるための分岐器は少なくなっています。

@@14ikesan12 Ok, thanks.

This line has only eight stations along its 37km length, which is a relatively small number for a Japanese railway line. I love the Chubu area of ​​Japan, and I'd like to go there again. I think this line is beautiful even after it snows.

감사합니다. 나는 눈의 계절에 다시 가고 싶다.

當然，鐵路是虧損的。管理依賴國家和地方政府的補助。這項援助旨在確保公共交通不會流失。我不知道未來。

Respect for trees and life. I think it's a sentiment shared by all people around the world. There's also this kind of thing at Japanese train stations. Kayashima Station on the Keihan Electric Railway, which runs between Kyoto and Osaka. www.mi-kyoto.jp/event/ky23a014/ A camphor tree runs through the elevated platform. As it was an old tree beloved by local residents, there were calls for its preservation, and the railway company responded. Of course, the platform is still in use. If more companies had this kind of attitude, people's lives would be much more enjoyable. Especially now, when the whole world is in a state of stagnation.

How about this? www.neyagawa-np.jp/quiz/kayashima-station-20210703.html

⁠ Not bad 👍 interesting to see that nature doesn't always have to give way when new things are built 🤗 I had the Japanese website translated in my browser...

⁠ Well, I'm not aware of a tree standing in the middle of a train platform or through a reception building anywhere in Germany... 🤔 Here we prefer to follow the motto: all old stuff has to go, although luckily it has become more difficult to simply clear trees or natural areas these days. In Japan there seems to be more respect for trees: the fact that nature is worth protecting is also addressed in one or two animes from Ghibli Studios, for example... Unfortunately the link you posted doesn't work for me, I get an error message when I open it!

@@wandajackson3410 Oh, I see, the link doesn't work. Sorry. Well, let's think of another way. I could upload still images to CZcams. Living in harmony with nature has been strongly advocated in Japan since it became clear that oil and silver resources were running out. However, it is questionable in Japan whether this is really a macro-perspective. It's good that old buildings are no longer easily destroyed, but nuclear power plants are still in operation.

In the case of Japanese trains, it is said that the reddish ballast is caused by splashes of rain from the brake shoes rusting them. The brake shoes are made of cast iron. However, this has changed recently. The brake shoes used on most trains are now made of resin. It is true that the ballast on recent Japanese trains does not seem to be as reddish as it used to be.

I think it's amazing that they managed to build such a track that crosses the mountains with so many curves. This section was opened in 1888, a long time ago. With the civil engineering technology of the time, construction would have been difficult. Today, a long, straight tunnel would have been built. And it's clear which of these would be more appealing to fans. Of course, our predecessors didn't open up this difficult route for the sake of having fun.

No.The track gauge on this line is 3 feet 6 inches.

I didn't explain this well enough. Sorry. There are two tracks (in other words, in both directions) between the Chichibu Railway Station and the Seibu Railway Station. By using these tracks, direct trains are operated from the Seibu Railway to the Chichibu Railway. Although the number of trains is not high, it is convenient for tourists.

@@14ikesan12 Your explanation is perfect for me. I have never expected better explantion ! :)

@@MarBiel You are welcome. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

@@14ikesan12 Mount Bukō It is visible at left side from Hanno-Seibu Chichibu Line ?

@@MarBiel Yes. Mount Buko is located on the south side of the Chichibu Line. It can be seen on the left side of trains heading west. It is easily identifiable because of its bald summit, and it has become the symbol of this region. It is a noble and lonely-looking mountain.

During the Meiji period, the government (i.e. the new power that overthrew the Edo Shogunate, the government of the Edo period) decided to build a railway throughout Japan. It was a way to demonstrate the power of the new government and prevent another coup from breaking out. The Meiji government made a law to build railways throughout the country. They mainly followed the old roads, but the roads for foot travel were rough. The construction of the railway along those roads was difficult in many places, but the railway was opened over time. It was a project that was completed not by legal regulations, but by the passion of engineers.
