I went from the busiest station to the least used station in Tokyo | Japan Vlog

Shinjuku Station is the busiest station in Tokyo (and Japan), with over 2 million passengers a day. From such Shinjuku, I went to Shiroumaru Station, which is said to have the fewest passengers in Tokyo.
As it was a weekend morning, there were not many people at and around Shinjuku Station, so the contrast may be a bit hard to be understood, but anyway hope you enjoy!

Hi there! For some reasons, I have decided to take a break from my KZbin channel for months. Or at least I will post videos less frequently. Thanks always, have a good day!

[@spiritwardiaries]

Thank you and enjoy your break. Your video was relaxing and lovely👍

[@THETRIVIALTHINGS]

Hope to see you back soon.

[@gimmesometruthnow9]

Take care of yourself! Can't wait to see you when you get back, you're one of my favourite YT channels

[@fernandosamachado]

enjoy the break!

[@Sx-xy2zi]

Wishing you safety and ease after the earthquake. Your channel is beautiful and a little slice of hope for me. We eagerly await your return in the future :)

[@deckarddwizardd1909]

I wish there are trains like this in my country. I would definitely take a weekend off just to explore the areas around me.

[@blodhthringa]

It always amazes me how clean Japan is. Thousands of people walking on the streets of Tokyo and not even so much as a receipt on the ground. Also, I love how quiet and serene that little town was!

[@pilotgrrl1]

Hope you and your loved ones are doing ok after the quake! Shiromaru seems more rural than the area around Mt Takao. It's really nice to see a place where people are trusting and can be trusted. Not sure there are any places like that in America...

[@sorekaratravel4533]

It was really strong and long one, but we are ok. Thank you. Yes, Shiromaru is an area like further out in Tokyo. I am not sure if people cheat, but at least I paid my money. haha

[@bluesunset6136]

that neighborhood is so peaceful, it must be an everyday bliss waking up to such a beautiful place. I hope everything goes back to normal asap i wanna visit japan

[@vlad_medianyk]

Hello from Ukraine! Thanks for this serene relaxing trip! Rural places in Japan are so peaceful and cozy!

[@ghostek7792]

hope you're doing good man, stay safe!

[@jfc6296]

Stay safe bro

[@jqa16]

ありがとう 君が元気である

[@user-mp2tk3pw6j]

I’m praying for you my man

[@dertfert745]

Shiroumaru somehow makes me feel nostalgic for something I've never experienced

[@Frstlt]

I have been waiting for your uploading~ thank you~!!

[@johndematis8331]

Love the contrast between the bustling streets of Shinjuku and the peaceful, slower-paced Shiroumaru. Also, seeing you "break the 4th wall" by returning to retrieve the camera after you walk past it was pretty funny. You don't see that aspect of solo vlogging very often. xD

[@sungwoo9792]

Thank you for watching Japan spring green color. It's snowing in Korea. It's not normal we have snow in March. Have a good weekend!

[@khalilahd.]

I’m currently learning Japanese so I can one day visit Japan 💜 I love watching your videos and getting a better look at you country from your eyes. I hope you weren’t too affected by the earthquake 🙏🏽

[@Artix13]

Noooo, please don’t change your trademark opening melody, hope it’s a one-off as I love the original one! As for the rest of the video, what a lovely idea. Hard to believe it’s still Tokyo! Such a station would’ve probably been closed a long time ago in London. I like how the filming speed and cuts are much quicker in the busy Shinjuku than in the serene area. A nice little cinematography trick. Also, love the fact that even such a remote and quiet place has a restaurant that looks cool and serves what appears to be very yummy food.

[@frances_edinburgh]

Just came across your videos whilst I’m anxious and cannot sleep, I’ve watched a few now and I’m so much more relaxed. I love your channel so much it’s exactly what I needed :)

[@kenocontreras]

This video brings me so many memories, after living in Japan for 3 years, I had to leave the country for family reasons but I'm glad that I completed one of my life dreams. Thanks for making me remember one of the most beautiful moments :)

[@BelloAlbero]

😊 Ryo, you have a great sense of humor. This mini adventure made me laugh. The aerial view is always my favorite. It is so beautiful when you look down. It looks like a mural painting. Stay safe. Looking forward to your next adventure. 🦖

[@NoboMike]

As always a very nice video!

[@zanizone3617]

That station is the loveliest place I've seen in a long while. Japan is such an amazing place. I miss it so much. Thank you for this video.

[@bramantanararya9218]

Lol, I love your sense of humor Rural japan is so fascinating. Nice video!

[@AikuraShardless]

Bula vinaka from the Fiji Islands. I started watching your videos around one year ago when Fiji was in lockdown. I was lucky enough to visit Japan in 2018, and your videos both remind me of those better times, and also helped to keep me calm through the difficulties of the past year. ありがとうございます.

[@lizzyo4204]

Such a nice break from the city. Calm and peaceful. I enjoyed this video. Thank you for uploading. Hope all are well and hope your have a good break. Take care Ryo. 😊.

[@mvc1412]

I like so much this kind of place. It looks like the perfect place for detective kind of story could happen. Also, I like your sense of humor so much, lol. Having a KZbin channel must be so difficult and tiring. Take your time and come back when you feel inspired, I'll watch your videos then. Take care.

[@Blueiesky4069]

So clean and peaceful. Never heard someone shouting

[@teresawilliams1865]

It is beautiful there just look at all of mother nature! Thank you for taken us with you 😊

[@GalaxyJonez]

Your videos are so underrated! It's lovely seeing all these places I never thought of visiting myself 🤔

[@FlexxenRandomPlaces]

I think the least visited station in Japan I've been to was Yamanakadani station in southern Osaka prefecture. It was a cute village which I suppose must be more crowded during sakura season. It's interesting to see this journey 🥰

[@axelpra]

This is the best way to escape from hectic life, take a time for healing. I really like the restaurant, the view is so "calm", also the city/village is so small but clean. Glad that u show us this kind of video, looking forward ur new video

[@RussianSevereWeatherVideos]

Such a beautiful landscape! Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@qVICKYq]

Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Your video is beautiful, like a movie. I loved exploring Shiromaru with you.

[@alexstrolls801]

The view of the village in the mountain, absolutely beautiful!

[@kelvincheang2020]

Nice to see these get away to explore lesser known parts of japan, feels so calm and relax.

[@dashingmay]

I think I cried a little inside me when I watched this, especially when the piano music came on. Thank you

[@Alpinix]

I recently discovered your channel and I am very glad that I did. Your channel is my favorite KZbin channel! I wish you the best and I hope you continue to make these videos! 君なら できるよ! ありがとうございました！

[@eternelle143]

The aerial view was beautiful to watch. Thank you for sharing. 💖

[@kaikito2348]

Oddly enough, this has been a perfect start to this weekend. I am now sitting with a page full of notes.I have my Japan A to Z open, too. As much as I want to visit Tokyo, this - Shiromaru and Okutama - is where I'll dedicate a few days in order to backpack the area. So thanks for the heads-up.

[@Skyrunner2]

Hope you are well amd enjoy the time off. Everyone deserves a break, even when doing something they enjoy. It's good to recharge and gain new perspecrive of things. 🙂

[@mikoanselm247]

It feels so serene and peaceful. I would love to be there and find myself. If I will have a chance to get a break, pause for a while and live, this is the best place to be. I do really find peace on being alone with nature. It feels so alive. Anyways, thanks for bringing us a glimpse of this place. It is really beautiful. Keep safe.

[@igorto]

That was a cool idea for a trip. Thanks!

[@titanlaily]

I don't know why the aerial shot during 8:53 made me tear up a little bit. There's something nostalgic and familiar about Shiromaru, I can't quite understand. Maybe because this place was so far away from where I am now (Indonesia) and it reminds me of how my existence is so small and insignificant. Thank you for another beautiful video. Enjoy your break!

[@sunnyside5225]

Everybody needs a break sometimes but please don’t stay away too long. I love your channel. You seem like so much fun to travel with! Peace!

[@yura-days]

Such a beautiful and peaceful place ❤️ ahhh I wish, I could go there.

[@bgtcsjm]

let's go, in and out, 2 weeks adventure. ✊

[@happyhappyaus2128]

That little station reminds of all the good times I had adventuring around Japan. I loved all the little villages so much :)

[@danianajwalabiba8863]

I feel like I'm being taken for a walk when I see your video,I really enjoy and am very happy, thank you so much Ryo ☺

[@thehorsemanxvi]

catching up on your videos lately and wow you have gained a lot of subscribers! I remember when you only had about 2000. Well deserved. Hope you are enjoying spring :)

[@VerhoevenSimon]

What a lovely station, and it still looks so well maintained.

[@SmartJapanHacks]

I really love your videos! Exploring places like this in one of my favorite things to do in Japan.

[@vhyleung]

Wow, the drone shots are so beautiful. I am so calmed by this trip..two worlds in a day.

[@achim6011]

I hope you are doing well! Thanks for the video. It helped me to relax.

[@aaronlong7204]

Thank you for all the amazing videos! 🙏🏼 I hope you’re able to find some time to relax while you’re on your break! Looking forward to seeing you when you return.

[@Janitcka]

Rural areas are always comforting for me, you can feel the calming atmosphere and relaxing your nerves and heart, feels absolute bliss

[@ohjajohh]

I love Japanese trainstations and the fascination that Japanese people have for trains and stations! Really good video.

[@davidanderson9664]

Thank you - very enjoyable video. I used to live in Tokyo. Shiromaru is beautiful - I want to live there! :-) D.A., NYC

[@icepurity]

What a lovely video. I love the calm feeling in it.

[@murk.mp4760]

loving the new intro, Ryo-san! Keep up the great work :>

[@TheWandererTravelVlogs]

These are the areas of Japan I would love to explore. I’ve been to Tokyo but it was all so busy, but the area around this station seemed so peaceful and beautiful. I can’t wait to go back.

[@diegomayafotografia8856]

What a nice relaxing travel, love the storytelling in your videos.

[@jennycampbell5236]

That was an amazing video. Arigato Ryo. I was with you every step as you went along. Those little places are the ones we love the best when we travel in Japan with our Japanese daughter in law. I hope Japan is open to tourists again very soon. Miss your country so much.

[@sparrow5407]

Love the video and background music, very calm.

[@shafwandito4724]

I have an addiction of wanting to go quiet places in countryside or rural areas. Japan is always the best place since it's safe and plenty of quiet town in the country. someday I can find something like that in my country that is quiet town, safe to walk by alone, and having a nice scenery.

[@tankeryy1566]

this is the first video I've watched on your channel and I like it!

[@allhill]

Lovely town! thanks for sharing

[@hasewo]

Looks like a lovely place! Hard to believe it's still Tokyo :O Love your funny commentary too, nice video!

[@tawhidal-wahid4958]

Japanese men people are not the same that it's so good , You are open minded about the world 🌎 Thanks you to share with us your best life 🧡🧡🕊 Merci beaucoup très cher Ami ☺

[@opaloktapiana3923]

the view, the food and the vibes make me chill. Love it

[@AmbientWalking]

Always so great to visit you. Please continue to make videos. They are very good, and I enjoy your journeys very much.

[@CharlesDuchemin-ip1yf]

Thanks for your videos. They are so well filmed and calming.

[@Chrysonoe]

One of my favorite videos from you! Love your comments and the beautiful landscape! Keep up the great work! :3

[@darrenclark7883]

Shiromaru looks like a beautiful and idyllic little town.. and the restaurant food looked delicious!!. Great video, I enjoyed it a lot, safe travels!

[@NANICU]

Thank you for the video! You really captured the essence of the simple life in rural Japan!

[@edwardkowalski230]

Thank you for your videos. Don't stop making it. That's extremely interesting for european. Your last story about teenager love was exceptional.

[@elfacisco]

Really like this video! I should have been in Tokyo in 2020, still waiting!

[@jayland1507]

I like the filter of the video now. Before the vids were a little blue-ish. Now it’s more colorful!

[@hedgefondsmanagermo1847]

2 months no sorekara video is carzy . Bro i need my little dose of relaxing content .

[@emim0801]

Again, a nice video you made. The drone flights are amazing! Hope to see more videos from you. Take care Ryo! 😊☺️🙏🏻

[@GioARamos]

What a peaceful and tranquil place Shiromaru is. Thank you for the fascinating video and I hope you are all alright there. :-)

[@gustogarden]

Your videos are so enjoyable! I loved the atmosphere. Amazing the difference between the two places...especially when you're back to the city right at the end of the video...After all the quiet views! 🤗👍

[@viictordh8307]

I am so delighted to subscribe your channel man! 頑張る.

[@QMmona]

Wow what a beautiful place shiromaru:)

[@satsubass3497]

Perfect Trip!!! Thank YOU!!!!

[@thebittenmac]

Those small towns are very beautiful and the food looks tasty

[@NemesisLPU]

Thank you for the new place I wanted to visit!

[@ks24pl97]

Japan is the most beautiful country there is for me. Very nice video, as always.

[@sriyulianti9728]

i always amazed by your video. the beautiful nature, you captured it really well. good job!

[@mrCetus]

The houses don't look very sturdy but omg the peace and quiet even when it's right beside the station. I need to get out to a place like this!

[@kebabtank]

Your meal looked absolutely delicious! I hope you enjoyed it.

[@shawnbell6392]

I didn't want this video to end. Well done!

[@desuuyo]

This is definitely the place I want to visit when I'm going to Japan someday :D somewhere within Tokyo but far from the metropolitan area

[@RA-pi5js]

I’ve been there! Love going to Okutama area for hiking!

[@dr.noir27]

i love the country side and the villagers of japan culture

[@CinematicXplorer]

Wow, thank you for this comparison, it is so interesting to experience both sides of Tokyo. The outskirts and the least busy areas have some charm and a calm atmosphere. The "amount" of quietness is surprising, it can be recharging after the busy central areas. I always wander around in Google Maps to see what is the vibe in random areas, but through your video, it's much more immersive. Have a great weekend! 🙂

[@moylira2838]

My first video and I’m already in love. Keep it up dude 👍👍👍

[@Kyuutai]

So quiet over there. That's amazing

[@almantinaa]

I prefer the quiet valleys to the busy Tokyo streets.

[@missaldrin8926]

Thank you, love your videos ❤️ greetings from Italy🇮🇹🫂

[@nancy-loupolk9301]

Beautiful photography. Thanks for sharing.

[@howabouttreefiddy]

The station and surrounding area have such a charming and comforting atmosphere. Maximum wabi sabi.

[@cherrylikesclouds4796]

Thank you for this video, I really liked the place you visited and has relaxed me too.

[@ananwongpinyochit4919]

Thanks for sharing. There is a contrast of living in the city and the suburban area in Tokyo. Hope to see more videos from you exploring Japan.

[@tankeryy1566]

7:38 the water is beautiful!

[@akiolife7198]

Perfect place for people who’s love quiet place after the retirement.

[@kennethng3867]

It had been so restrictive and difficult to travel due to COVID. Watching your video is so refreshing and feels like going back to the travel dates! Thank you.
