富士急行線前面展望Part1 大月→三つ峠 ＜cabview Japan railway：Fuji kyuko Line＞

This is a cab view of the Fujikyuko Line that runs through Yamanashi Prefecture.
The starting point, Otsuki Station, is located 77.5 km from Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, 87.8 km from Tokyo Station, and has an altitude of 358 m. The Fujikyuko Line runs to Kawaguchiko Station at an altitude of 857m.
Because of this terrain, the Fujikyuko Line has steepest slopes of 40 percent and curves with a radius of 160 meters, which is hard for railways. The train climbs the mountain path steadily, step by step, like a mountaineer.
In this video, I recorded the journey from Otsuki Station to Mitsutoge Station on the way. The scene beyond Mitsutoge Station will be included in Part 2.
The image quality is not 4K as it was a long journey. Also, the windshield of the train car seems to be slightly foggy. I recommend viewing the image in a smaller size. Please know that there is a railway like this in Yamanashi Prefecture.
As the name suggests, the Fuji Kyuko Line runs along the north side of Mt. Fuji, and you can see Mt. Fuji from every corner of the train. It cannot be seen in the cab view due to the angle of view of the camera, but please visit the site and take in the beautiful view of Japan's highest mountain.
Due to its location, this line attracts a large number of foreign tourists, and the railway staff can also speak English quite fluently.

富士山麓鉄道富士急行線の前面展望です。例によっての「鉄砲登り」を、富士急の電車は着実に登ってゆきます。ここでは大月から三つ峠までを収録、三つ峠→富士山間をPart2とする予定です（長くなるので）。
前面を見ていると、この路線の線路には雑草がなく、きれいに整備されていることが分かります。これは鉄道が好きな人間にとって、とても嬉しいことです。2023年秋の撮影

A single track line running through a mountain valley. Interesting lineside communities. Local stops for a few passengers. Valley farms, and, for someone from Arizona, incredible greenery! And with Mt Fuji as an added bonus. This is a great video. How do you find these gems? ❤❤🎉🎉

Thank you for your comment. Japan's mountains are covered in green. Japan's humid and rainy weather has created such a landscape. I only traveled to the United States once, but the sight of the Amtrak train crossing the Rockies and the landscape of the Grand Canyon with few plants were a big surprise to me. The landscape of Yosemite Valley seemed similar to Japan, but it seemed to be a rare landscape in the United States. I know what kind of scenery is on each route in Japan based on my experience, and this is also due to the small size of Japan. However, knowing where to go and what to find can actually make the trip less interesting.

Great video, magnificent scenery :)

Thanks for your comment. I will go there again in the spring. Mt. Fuji may not be visible, but many flowers will bloom along the route.

Świetny film. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇯🇵🇵🇱

[@14ikesan12]

Jesienna sceneria w Japonii. Choć można ją nazwać wioską w górach, domów jest tu całkiem sporo. Wielu podróżników lubi podróżować w tym sezonie.

Muy buenos y nobles trenes los toshiba ,en mi pais ,argentina ,siguen dando batalla

[@14ikesan12]

A Toshiba era o principal fabricante de locomotivas elétricas do Japão. Mas isso foi há cerca de 50 anos. Atualmente, existem muito poucas locomotivas elétricas nas ferrovias japonesas, o que não é divertido para os fãs.

Que hermoso viajar en el tren y conocer paisajes increíbles!! Gracias amigos!!!

[@14ikesan12]

Esta rota é adequada para ver o Monte. Fuji. Também há muitos turistas da Europa.

[@user-lw5yx5ey4n]

スピードはゆっくりですが、いかにも急勾配を登っているな感は動画から伝わって楽しかったです。時折見える🗻が美しかったですね😉

[@14ikesan12]

ありがとうございます。前面展望にこだわらなければ、結構ずっと、富士山を見ていられます。

[@user-qq2hh4zm6k]

Liked.

[@monkunderground4244]

Спасибо, очень живописная поездка!

[@14ikesan12]

Спасибо за ваш комментарий. Когда идет снег, гора Фудзи выглядит очень красиво. Альпинистам следует быть осторожными, особенно зимой, так как ветер может быстро усилиться.

I didn't realise until today that most of Japan's rail network is narrow gauge (1.067m). It's very noticeable in this video.

[@14ikesan12]

That's right, most Japanese railways use a 3 foot 6 inch gauge. There were many discussions about improving this to a standard gauge, but in the end no improvements were made. There is a view that the adoption of a 4-foot, 8-inch gauge for the Shinkansen was based on this regret.

😊👍

[@omisan59]

beautiful video, I wonder why not film in the highest resolution, nowadays 4K is common ;-)

[@14ikesan12]

I also believe that it is desirable to shoot at the highest quality. However, currently, my iPhone has a small storage capacity, so if I shoot in 4K, the storage may become full and the shooting may stop halfway through the process. I have to solve the budget problem quickly.　(^_^;)

[@Fredrikgaard]

When did you shoot this film? Just curious, as the train passed the construction of the maglev line. Isn't that part of the maglev line already in service as testtrack?

[@14ikesan12]

The video was shot about half a month ago when I uploaded the video. I don't know if the section shown on the linear railway screen is still being used for testing.
