    I love the train ride from Tokyo to Hakodate and then to Sapporo, I found it strangely scenic , I've never done it during winter but it looks incredible, can't wait to go back.

    Joe you are such a talent guy. If I was a manage on travel channel on tv. I would recommend this serie. Watching you content makes me explore much through your channel. Sometime I feel like am the one holding the camera. You bring everything live. Keep up, can"t wait to watch more of Japan rail series.

    I've watched 43 seconds and I just had to pause and comment. Top notch intro. Sets the mood imediately for some quality content.
    Update: I've watched the whole thing twice now. The thing that elevates your videos, apart from the very well composed shots in between the talking parts, is the sound design imo. You can tell you've spent a lot of time and effort into bringing the ambiance of the environment onto the video through sound. Keep going guys, honestly great stuff.

    • @joeallam
      @joeallam  Před 5 lety

      Thanks! I don't think HS2 will ever be as successful as it has potential to be unfortunately. I find these types of projects at the population and development we're at now, require insane amounts of persuasion to get through the political hoops and public approval. It's a shame really, but I do see both sides, although I am definitely more in favour of its development and long-term benefits!

    @enmity89 Před 5 lety

    Great first installment! I was actually up at Ginzan Onsen about a month ago myself. Beautiful place, but you're right: gotta book months in advance or have a lot of cash to burn. I know you love your trains, but it might be worth looking into getting an international drivers license when you travel in Japan (if you have a British drivers license). I drove up to Yamagata prefecture from Tokyo in a rental car with a crew and stayed at another amazing little onsen town not too far from Ginzan Onsen. It was literally at the end of a highway. Without a car it can be rough to get to some of the more tucked away spots in Japan. Looking forward to the next one!

    Hello Joe and Elly, I loved this video so much, and yes the bullet train always floats my boat.
    The streets with the snow look so silent, and the shot of the man walking alone was a lovely touch, the photography is so cool and you really feel the cold, and the beauty of Japan,
    that bullet train is something else, I remember the first time on one last year, jumping about like a school boy, not good at my age but who cares.
    The shot of the girls jumping and laughing in one of your shots always remind me of the gentle nature of these amazing people, and fantastic country, can't wait for your next one
    they go to fast, see shu is posting some really cool stuff, you guys really hit the spot, and continue to inspire me, thank you for these visions of pure delight, be safe and enjoy.

      haha! I wasn't sure how long it was going to be originally. My first draft was around 50 minutes long and I predicted it to maybe be about 25-30, but in the end it flowed much better at the length it's at now. Glad you liked it!

    Awesome Vid Joe, always love watching your Jason vids. My wife and I are in the early stages of planning a trip to Japan in September, she hasn’t been before while I have. I’m keen to do a road trip, have you guys ever hired a car there?

    • @joeallam
      @joeallam  Před 5 lety

      Thanks! This trip was originally intended to be a road trip, but we changed minds as the rail network is just so iconic and well connected. The time spent on the trains would also allow us to rest more and catch up with work rather than having to rely on driving/directing. Car rentals are pretty easily found around the cities, with Times24 and Nippon Rent-a-car set up in little car parks all over. You will have to have an international driving permit with you though. From the UK, these can be bought from the Post Office for about £5.
