The pre-dawn/daybreak landscape is lovely to see. Thanks for taking us along 🙏

[@SimonSarka1]

Snow’s so gorgeous as this whole ride

[@louisemitchell3292]

Beautiful ❤️ for several moments there, it could have been anywhere in the world. It looked so familiar, and yet so magical.

[@vevepriezviskova6909]

Exactly, it looked like m local landscape (Central Europe). Very relaxing.

[@jlotrigo8535]

Everywhere is white and then you look up and see the blu sky, a wounderful landscape

[@jodyfitrahadijody3044]

I miss japan ❤️❤️🇯🇵🇯🇵

[@ivanmetal]

I did the same trip almost 3 years ago (January 2019), but from Sapporo to Hakodate, also I took the 6am train. Besides how trains works perfectly in Japan, travel trough Hokkaido during winter it’s a whole new thing. Waking around Sapporo, Otarubin the middle of the storm, the views from Goryukaku. Unforgettable Greetings from Chile

[@fernbedek6302]

Would love to live in Hokkaido one day. Such good amounts of snow.

[@prisciliamellark95]

Your channel is my way of manifesting my life, I'll go there and I'll experience this in real life eventually, but for now I'll experience this thru your camera, thank you 🙏

[@juniyananajukyu]

I love getting stoned and watching your videos! They’re very relaxing. I’ve also been traveling to japan for around 20 years and it’s these types of scenery as to why I always come back. Happy holidays!

[@christycruz2633]

WOW!! It looked so cold! But the sky was just an incredible blue. Thank you so much for taking us along.

[@serginator937]

Wow, the snowy landscape was so beautiful, I loved it

[@norikaesanjapan]

Great video! It made me feel like I was traveling through the snowy landscape of Hokkaido!

[@sea80vicvan]

That looked so quiet and peaceful. My favorite time to do any traveling is early morning, no matter the season, and you caught the winter sunrise ou the window so well. Thanks or posting this, and I hope you were able to stay somewhere in Sapporo where it's warm inside.

[@frankintx699]

How nice the snow looks. It is suposed to be in the 80's here Christmas day😥🌨❄👍👍

[@quaternarytetrad4039]

Texas winters. Never can tell what you'll get year to year

[@Hans_Niemand]

Hokkaido is the part of Japan I most want to see. Thank you for this video!

[@TheBaldr]

Just watching Joey the Anime Man's video and he was in Sapporo and Toya last month. I went to the snow festival in 2017, I ridden this line between Chitose Airport and Sapporo.

[@remixoscar]

I took the same train from Chitose to Hakodate back in 2019, it was amazing but long ride!

[@MTravelVlog]

I really enjoyed your video. 🤩⭐️ Thanks for Sharing! 👍🏼 💕 Greetings from Albania.🇦🇱

[@jojojobajoy1101]

This just really take me back to when I was in Sapporo in 2019 and on the same snowy train rides. Love it forever! ❤️

[@2LaneTraveler]

I visited Hokkaido twice on business (Otaru and Muroran) and quite enjoyed it both times. I grew up in Massachusetts, so the snowy climate was fairly familiar, even comforting, for someone a long way from home.

[@jimgomez5396]

Thanks for the ride! Yes its always amazing to see the day starting !! Thank you

[@freedomforever6718]

Another pleasurable and interesting ride. Thanks.

[@emmanuelbuenviaje6564]

Excellent video. Hokkaido is magical place

[@kenshinflyer]

So that's how falling snow looks like... And that is how falling snow looks like when riding from a train. Pardon me, I'm from the tropics, all we get is cold weather but no snow, heheheh. Thanks for the video!

[@osanilefun9774]

Thank you Kuga, please post more videos about Hokkaido in winter, everyone is going to love it! どうもありがとう

[@see2travel]

Beautiful! Soon the Shinkansen will reach Sapporo. Looking forward to riding it all the way from Tokyo. :)

[@MeatyLegend]

i like this limited express service as the views are very scenic, since the shinkansen is faster you really can't enjoy it. not sure if a third sector railway will take over the line after the extension is completed, hope they retain some services. i am also fond of this diesel train, you can hear it changing gears(?) not sure if it does lol

[@Full_moon40]

I like this country so much

[@balamuralianbuselvan2384]

Uncountable Happiness.....

[@numberIII-th5gr]

In Hokkaido, JR does not start trains until 06 00 , compared to 04 30 the Tokyo area, 04 45 in Osaka, 05 00 in Nagoya, and 05 00 in Kyushu. Because ridership is low and the winters are harsh.

[@moogmike1]

Another great video Kuga....thank you.

[@alanharney5278]

An early morning train ride sounds like fun. I really hope to visit your country someday. Thanks for sharing

[@FURIO-ch]

おぉ、かっこいいとり方ですね。魅力が伝わってきます

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip, one thing in my mind about Sapporo is Sapporo Dome.

[@rrhondaful]

OMG ! I love your first snow Train ! Here's Number 2 ... brand new one ! I enjoy your trip's Happy new year to us all ♥

[@ickiscat2248]

Oh my. So picturesque, so breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing a journey I hope to make in a couple of years. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New year from New Zealand

[@fairweathercards]

Very beautiful footage. I love taking the train in the snow. Thank you for the fun video.

[@sdingeswho]

Lovely Winter landscape journey, Kuga-san ❤️❄️! The kind that makes you happy to have someone to hold close, on your journey through it ❤️ …

[@SUBARCTICPSYCHO]

Thank you Kuga, very cool!

[@luckyheart9096]

Sapporo is beautiful!

[@samanthaloo5501]

I thought I saw a snowy mountain and went back to see again 😊. Finally saw falling snow at the last minute, thanks for the video.

[@gracechan4312]

Arigato. Beautiful scenery.

[@daveydoo3173]

Kuga, is that an electric or diesel train, it sounded like a diesel... Beautiful train and the scenery awesome, Lovely snow scenery it looks magical.. Really enjoyed the ride.. 😁👍

[@leematthews6812]

Very prettty. I usually prefer to look at snow rather than walk around in it, though!

[@Thracium]

Thanks for the trip! Good Luck!

[@FlexxenRandomPlaces]

I really get the mood of this one. It reminds me of the Bothnia Line in Sweden.

[@allentoyokawa9068]

I was wondering if that train was diesel. but the end confirmed that!

[@Scodiddly]

Wow! We don't have any snow at all in Chicago!

[@chrisbritton58]

That's beautiful, I have heard that the northern island of Hokkaido is a place to visit four times in a year. Once each season too see and feel all the unique events and places. Your videos are incredible keep up the excellent reports!!!

[@a35362]

That brief moment when two bullet trains pass one another!

[@richardc488]

Thank you Mr Kuga

[@whiskey5jda]

Thank you for the video. Now a message from me to you using Google to translate: メリークリスマスと新年あけましておめでとうございます。テキサスの中心部の奥深くから

[@angelamapa2529]

lovely view

[@y-mefarm4249]

Very pretty. A couple things I noticed about Japanese farmland is I never ever see livestock out in the pastures and I watch a lot of Japanese travel channels.. In the US, you will always see horses, sheep ect. I do however see a lot cemeteries by the train tracks with nothing else around them.

[@elainefarr3155]

So pretty! I'm sitting here in sunny Arizona, USA. The closest train is over an hour away, and only goes east/west. I'm very sad that we are too rural to have people trains here, although there are lots of trains full of cargo. We are so connected to our cars, trains don't stand a chance of a comeback, except in maybe in the Phoenix metro area.

[@olive5483]

I miss Sapporo. 😔

[@ramencurry6672]

A masterpiece

[@KNGexp]

It finally snowed in NE U.S. today 2022.01.07!

Wooo new video!

Reminds me of taking the Amtrak Empire Builder through northern Minnesota and North Dakota in the winter

[@lsross5894]

Love how you take the trains, rather than a faster airplane. Of course, we couldn't see the country that way :).

New video!! 🎊🎉

[@klb5114]

It look like a very peaceful ride and the scenery was beautiful with the snow of course. But I bet it was cold as icicles outside. Thanks for the video keep up the good work

[@saskiapanter]

Love it, you see the snow coming, I would've mind if you filmed more of the snow in Sapporo, loved that😊😍

Yes. A very relaxing ride...

Nice snowy footage!!

[@pamelapattison4581]

i Love the early mornings and would have loved the train ride too thank you for sharing xx

[@CrazySquirrelProductions]

Oh nice. I did not realize how fast the train was going until it went by the freight train. The snow is great. Does Japan still use the Olympic winter site these days? So beautiful in the snow; I hope you are wearing winter shoes! Thanks Kuga!

[@jillsmith3937]

I don’t think I have seen this much snow before

[@kamikazitsunami]

This reminds me of train to Busan.

[@TheCaveman46]

I love your videos, especially travelling in snow and/or winter. I am wondering, however, when you show the train speed on your phone is that due to an app? Merry Christmas and continued safe travels, my friend.

[@CarolgTX]

Beautiful journey, Kuga. The scernery was stunning. I sure hope you didn't have to walk too far once you arrived in Sapporo! Have a Merry Christmas, and a Fantastic New Year!🎄☃️

[@jacksonheathen2092]

America really needs trains like this.

[@kkf54353]

America do have trains like this.

[@jacksonheathen2092]

@@kkf54353 Do we ? Maybe on the east coast there's the Amtrak Acela. But nothing remotely like this (that I'm aware of) here in Utah or the Pacific northwest.

[@kkf54353]

@@jacksonheathen2092 This is a standard express train service, not high speed rail service. This route would be completed under 1 hour under a Shinkansen service instead of the current 3 hr run time. The equivalent of this in Pacific Northwest would be Amtrak Cascades.

[@jacksonheathen2092]

@@kkf54353 Right. I used to live in Portland and saw the Amtrak Cascades going over the bridge into the station sometimes. I never rode it. But I thought it was limited to a mere 79 mph. There's a trian here in northern Utah called the Front Runner I ride sometimes. It's one of those double decker commuter trains that also goes up to 79 mph. But the train in this video appeared much faster. Maybe that's because the video footage is speed up, or maybe I'm just wrong. 😁

[@kkf54353]

@@jacksonheathen2092 The maximum operation speed for Hokuto express goes only up to 120 km (75 mi) per hour, which is one third of the Shinkansen speed.

That wall of clouds over the water was pretty cool. Nice sunrise, too. Odori park must have looked quite different with all the snow :D

[@johnp139]

I wonder how much it costs to run an almost empty train like that.
