Love the random wandering videos. The outdoor shopping plaza style malls are delightful and full of charm & character. Sympathy aches at noting how far you walk because there’s always something cool to see (truth). And I’m not sure if it’s memory or did hear “doa ga shimarimasu” from the train at the end? Anyway, great stuff and great to see you back enjoying doing your thing. 👍👍👏👏👏

So stoked to hear that, I just go wherever I feel lead, which sounds cheesy but is true ❤

I live right by an abandoned rail line from the 1800s which also has a station turned into a (tiny) museum, and is planned to be revived soon (but I still don't see any preparation). So it's interesting to see how this situation looks in a country that actually gives a darn about public transport! The tracks here have not been made into a walking path--they're just an overgrown ditch now.

Hello again! First off, I enjoyed the "title cards" throughout the video, because sometimes nice-looking scenery needs a little context! Russia? Hmmm, you learn something new every day! And yes, there is always a train museum. That's what happens when the culture centers around mass transit! Honestly, the tickets in the display don't look too different than the modern ones. Not knowing where you're going, but just going was 87% of every trip I've been on. That is a nice view, and a serene waterway to boot! Really loved the video, and the chimes made for a calm ending. Can't wait for the next video!

Hokkaido looks amazing overall! Also the 'America can't even make a train system if their life depended on it' - I felt that

Americans abandoned rails in favor of highways. Now we're paying the price with rushhour traffics and suffocating suburbs.

Lovely video as usual! Regarding the US flags in the museum's model railway, it is because the first railway in Otaru (part of which is now the abandoned section) was built under the guidance of US engineers, unlike the other early Japanese railways in the south, which relied on British knowledge. The trains and most other equipment were imported from the US. That railway's primary goal was to carry coal from the mines east of Sapporo, through Sapporo, and then to Otaru's port 😊

You say those old trains are scary. Meanwhile, I’m constantly in awe of their unique exterior designs. It’s very refreshing seeing trains not look identical to eachother for a change.

The amount of different designs makes me wanna look at trains in detail for hours! As for them also being scary, I guess it's in a cool way!

This is cool! I've seen Otaru on maps and stuff but never knew anything about it. Those old trains look really neat; I wonder what it was like to ride them! I love the feel of seaside towns in Japan like this or like Oarai. Speaking of which, a spot you might consider for a video while you're exploring Hokkaido is Tomakomai! That's where we got on the Sunflower ferry (incidentally, to meet up with you!), and to my understanding it has a lot more to offer than just being a port town (which is all we really saw of it). You've already done a video on Oarai where the ferry ends up (that even briefly featured the ferry), obviously, but a 2-part video on Tomakomai and the ferry from there might be pretty cool!
