東海道線前面展望 東京→平塚パート３ 藤沢→平塚 ＜Cabview Japanrail Tokaido Line Fujisawa → Hiratsuka＞

Cab view of the Tokaido Line, part 3, from Fujisawa Station to Hiratsuka Station.

Part 2
• 東海道線前面展望　東京→平塚パート２　横浜→...
Hiratsuka Station is located 63.8km from Tokyo Station, and in the past, this area was considered the commuting area to Tokyo. Due to the rise in land prices since the 1960s, the commuting area to Tokyo has expanded even further, but Hiratsuka Station has become a base for operations, and many local trains operated between Tokyo Station and Hiratsuka Station.
There seems to be fewer trains that stop at Hiratsuka now than before, but the operation method of detaching five cars from a 15-car train that runs from Tokyo to Hiratsuka Station here is still used by some trains, and this video also shows a five-car train parked in the premises of Hiratsuka Station.
Hiratsuka is a warm city facing the Pacific Ocean. In the 1930s and 1940s, the seaside area west of Hiratsuka was a popular place for Tokyo residents to build second homes.
This trip is shorter than Part 1 and Part 2. It will take about 14 minutes. (^^; May 2024

Much better image quality in this video than the previous one I saw - very enjoyable. Thanks, my friend!

[@14ikesan12]

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.

[@wandajackson3410]

I saw all three parts of your trip: for me, as always, the impressions from a foreign country and a previously unknown variety of railways are very informative and interesting! Don't just look at the route: also notice everything around you and, for example, the many typical small houses right next to the railway line or the above-ground electricity and telephone supply via many masts... And isn't it nice to be surprised on a trip, like the view of the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji? Getting to know other cultures with open eyes and a receptive heart... simply wonderful!!! Best wishes 🖖

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.

Thank you for this lovely video. A little camera shaking but that did not diminish from the value of the video.

[@14ikesan12]

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.

Boy is this a busy line! A long train. Lots of folks waiting at each station. Zipping along between stations. Lots of trains going the other way. A big difference from all those "rural" lines you have shown us. I like it!

[@14ikesan12]

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.

It is better, than I expected.

Mount Fuji San You know, I believe.

[@14ikesan12]

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

[@MarBiel]

@@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 !

[@14ikesan12]

@@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.

[@MarBiel]

@@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 ?

[@RustamShah]

Can you please not use zoom while filming?

[@MarBiel]

Why ?

[@14ikesan12]

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 KZbinrs who take videos in this way. Thank you for your comment.

[@RustamShah]

@@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.*

[@14ikesan12]

@@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.
