Is it a tradition in Japan that all train drivers constantly perform a ritual of pointing forward and then back to touch their hat, as if saluting something? I am very curious to learn the reason as it seems that all Japanese train videos show this. Excellent video by the way and especially the perfect view of looking straight down the middle of the tracks!

Hi Merrill. It's not a "ritual" for the look. It's a safety requirement called "Pointing and Calling" for all the train operators in Japan to follow. The drivers and conductors are required to pointing and calling at signs, signals, meters, timetables... sorts of things during the entire time. Some numbers show that this can reduce mistake by 80%, and reduce accident by 30%. Pointing and calling forced the operator to focus much better then only sitting and watching. Therefore it can reduce most mistakes made by a lost of concentration. Many years ago there was a terrible train accident killing more than 100 commuters on-board which was caused by human error under pressure. The Pointing and Calling safety system became even more serious since.

Sean B Kim Thank you very much for station names, it is always very difficult for me to decipher them!
Arigato. I've waited 60 years to find out what it was like to make this trip during the day. As an 8 year old in 1958, boarded an overnight train at 11 30 in nagoya on our way to lake nojiri. Platform was nearly empty until shortly before the train pulled in. Then suddenly the platform filled up. Desiel engine pulling the train came in. I was able to grabe two facing benches for the six of us in the family. Luggage overhead and under one bench. Newspapers went down unde booth, and like other children, one of my younger sisters lay down there. As for me. Like other boys, newspaper in the aisle for me. Shiogily came, and a lot of people got of in the midle of the night, but I still had the aisle. Matsumoto came, more people departed, and my younger sister and I had our own wooden benches to sleep on until the sun awoke us as we went slowly down what was then a treeless mountain side with a lot of beautiful mountain flowers. Was introduced to nagano station soba which was unique at that time. Ten years before, a son of a local farmer had gone to Tokyo durring the summer to look for work. Fall and harvest time came and it was time to go home and help with the harvest. Started out from tokyo with two rice balls with umeboshi. Day long trip on a train that stopped at every station. Had enough money to buy a meal when he got to nagano, but there wasn't a restaurant open. So he walked home on an empty stomach. Family decided that they should do something about feeding the poor travaliers, so they approached Rr company about putting up a soba booth, rice or wheat were to expenses so they decided on buckwheat, but not enough buckwheat, so they added barley, which does not lend itself to be made into noodles. However buckwheat and barley flower left to sit overnight worked. So the noodles had a slightly sour, like sorrow bread flavor. Ginger grew wild I abundance, and when thinly cut would form ginger sigur, so soup was made from thinly sliced ginger, soy sauce and kotobushi. Recipe for noodles and soup were changed shortly before the 1964 olimpics.
The mountains remind me of the rolling Appalachian mountains of the eastern US. Wish we had that kind of railway service here. Reasonably fast, and tilty. Love this video.

Checking by eye and "another way"is good for safety. That's good tradition in Japan.
