A network of railways spreads all over Japan. When you come to Japan, please use the Japanese railways. Polite railway worker. They are proud of their jobs.
Wonderful video! The music choice and various whimsical scenes are a great
combination, and there was a very satisfying variety of different passenger
and freight trains. My only criticism is that it cuts from scene to scene
rather quickly, so the viewer doesn't have much time to soak in the
composition of a scene before it's passed, and we really don't get to see
the full extent of a train passing by.

If you photograph Keihan train in Kyoto, I recommend here.
This river is Uji River, that flows southwest from the east of Kyoto. Uji
River drift to Osaka.
Thanks again for a lovely video. Reminds me of my travel to Japan and the
wonderful time i spent there. Your videos of Japan's countryside and the
angles you shoot are amazing.
It strikes me as odd, coming from The Netherlands: a country which only has
more than one national railway system for 10 years now, that there are two
railway stations right next door to each other to serve their own
customers. Here, the different companies use the same railways, same
buildings, heck they even use the same platforms! The only difference are
the routes and the speed at which the trains run. I think transferring is
more of a hassle the Japanese way for a change.. Thnx for the vid!
This is the biggest in terms of floor space, and then it seems a little
disingenuous to call it the "biggest" because it isn't. Grand Central
Station in NYC has the largest capacity in the world, and Beijing West is
the largest that services trains. Nagoya's actual train capacity isn't very
large actually. I've been there and if you didn't count the office towers
and the shops, it really isn't that big in comparison. But it IS fun to go
to, so don't let my nit-picking get you down :).
I stay there all the time, Marriott hotel, right on top of that building
but I never knew that I sleep in a train station !!! LOL Where's the
Guinness certificate location? I've been there so many times but never saw
it! I'll try to find it next time. Although I think this is more like a
train station under a complex coz the whole structure is not a train
station. I'm not sure what is a Guinness 'definition' of station anyway.
But it sure nice to know these fun facts! lol
You know, years ago the National Railways system(Japanese government owned)
became privatized. Until then, they were always making huge loss, red
figures, wasting funds, human resources. Now after privatization, they have
been making profits, so, they could invest for their advanced technology,
real estates, etc. The governments tend to waste whereas private
organization more keen to make profit and watchful of wasting. Capitalism
working.
Awesome video. I've come to love the Japan trains and station because of my
trips to Japan and have explored a couple of them just to see what's in
them and some of the larger ones are amazing. Went to Kyoto last year and
Kyoto station is amazing. I think the Shinjuku station is actually the
busiest one, not Tokyo station. Hope you can do a "walking around a
station" highlights video someday.
what's with street performing in japan . do they allow people on the
platform to perform like in chicago, nyc...etc...???? I do balloon art
which I understand is very popular in japan. can a foreigner get a busking/
street peddler license there?? would really love to get immersed in
japanese culture and learn the language. thank you very much for your
videos.
They have security staff but not visible like many other countries. So far,
those terrible terrorists who know nothing but destruction, maiming and
killing have been busy elsewhere, thank god, and not visiting Japan. Of
course, there are nuts in Japanese society, like the group hit Tokyo subway
with poison gas years ago. But, security is ready against them.
Nagoya station is the tallest ( twin tower is owned by the station and
direct to the train platforms) ,Kyoto station is the longest, Shinjuku
station (Tokyo )is the busiest and has most exits (over 200 ). Japanese
stations' good parts are " underground cities", and connected to many
department stores , no comparison to Grand Central Station in New York .
@Epirc There are two reasons people there wear the white masks... one
prevent flu germs to inhale, or, if the wear has a cold, not to spread the
germs. two, some season/s the plant pollen causes allergy (this is big
problem there) so to filter the air to inhale. Wonder if it really is
effective, ..... but many people depend on the white masks.
There was a dream that America would have something similar to this. :(
However, that dreamed died, and now, not even California has a chance to
get it's own bullet train. Too bad, because I think it would have been
really popular. Like how it is in Japan. ^^ I know my Dad would've loved
it. ^^b And I know he would love this train station too.
Because Japan is very populous nation and space is limited. And also, the
Nagoya and surround areas are industrial (example : TOYOTA & others) and
densely populated. So, it's worthwhile to have taller buildings and use
space efficiently. Utilizing the train stations land (and above space)
could be very wise, for economy and conveniences.
I spent my first afternoon in Nagoya 名古屋 without even leaving the station ;
Excellent train station . I really love all the little streets and suburbs
around the station too . Your vids rock coz they're totally informative ,
without self-reflection or the " in-jokes" from other clique groups on
YouTube reporting about Japan .
2:45 Ooooh... there's something left on the floor. That's absolutely not
good!!! I'm just joking guys... I've been living Japan for a couple of
months now and, I have to say, if only I could I'd live here forever. Nice
and friendly people, REALLY working public services, everything is just the
way it should be. I love Japan!!!
I am getting a bit sick and tired of all the people who are not even
bothered to read the description, where you clearly state that there are
many many more videos in your different playlists! Maybe once in a while
you should not post a video, but only the description text! Saves you from
always having to redirect people.....
Remember: Japanese are reliant on trains and stations are a consumer hub-
every major business revolves itself around a station . Millions are pumped
into maintenance and care; however the US is predominantly a car culture
especially the west coast i.e Cali, so less care is given to train stations
.
@selgeaus The taller one is for office (245 Meters, 51 Floors). The sister
one is a luxurious hotel (226 Meters, 53 Floors). They were finished in
December 99. What can I say is I always have been impressed by this
complex. A real gem, and a world class station =). I love Nagoya
@TheJapanChannelDcom There's a South Park episode called "Simpsons already
did it!" in which the kids try to come up with a cartoon show of their own.
But whatever they think off, it has already been done by the Simpsons. Why
on earth do I think of that now?
@Jarzyniak about 1 in 10 or so wear then from what i have seen . they just
like to be sanitary to stop the spreed of the flu and other things plus
Tokyo being the biggest city in the world has a lot of pollution some like
to protect them self from that .
I think you could. I have seen many street performers and venders who were
obviously foreigners in Japan. Suggest you contact with Japanese Consulate
in your area and inquire. Probably each local township has different rules
but you could start checking.
@TheJapanChannelDcom LOL, I'm not that big a nit-picker. If they want to
call it the biggest, great for them. And wow I didn't realize people would
be so put off by it to vote my comment down! Oh well. Didn't mean to get on
people's wrong side.
America is behind in efficiency of the public transportation. We borrow a
lot of good things/ideas from other countries, and we still don't have cell
phone boosters in our Los Angeles subway stations. We need to upgrade our
infrastructure.
I didn't see any security officers anywhere. Is that standard practice? I
know nothing of Japan, except the bad stuff of course I hear in the news.
Just found this channel and is very interesting. Thank-you for posting
these vids.
@BoeingJetJockey Because mariot likely leases the space from the station,
and whatever is owned by the station is considered part of the train
station. So the definition is, everything in the immediate area oned by the
station.
The towers looked like theyre trying to build a space elevator. in the near
future taking a shinkanzen on an afternoon chill above an eart orbiting
japnese city would be frkin cool. Hey guys, the teleportation booth is on

Deserted Japanese Train Station!
