I want to make a notice to the foreigners watching this video. This railway, Hisatsu line is NOT operating now because of heavy rain and disaster which happened in July 2020. Many parts of railroad has been destroyed and they are being repaired now on. We don't know when this line will be restored completely, but we all believe that we can watch this train view again. Thank you for watching the video.

after hours of searching I finally found this line and wanted to find that little town Watari, that the train visits at 1:05:40. I see now that even today the rail and road bridges are both down on google earth. The flood must have been very very extreme to bring down those bridges. I can only imagine how bad it must have been

Hey thanks for letting me know. I ussally just watch train videos with my kid for fun. But this information helps make this video special. I can't help but imaging the trouble that flood caused for the people in that area who used this train line regularly. I'll have to check out the Google images now too. Edit: I see why it was so hard to find. But knowing it might be tricky, I did find it on the forth try. Location of that station is: 32.236666,130.695075

Thanks for that. A shame because it is a beautiful gorge, and this was a lovely video to watch.
Great video, it's good to see another side of Japan away from the high tech and bustling cities. Thank you for posting 👍

A beautiful ride along the river valley. But I am surprised that we did not pass any train going the opposite direction ? A number of stations had two platforms where two trains could pass each other ....

Thank you for this video! This line was in the 2001 original Microsoft Train Simulator.
It wasn't until that bridge showed up in the video that I wondered if this was the area that suffered in the flood. Now that I see what others have written I understand I am looking at an area that may never come back. I understand the government is asking people to move elsewhere instead of rebuilding. Very sad.

Wow. Just wow. The story of people who lived here might be interesting.

Japan's landscapes are simply wonderful. They keep a lot of nostalgia and admirable conservation of their traditional culture.
Wonderful and impressive scenery; I wanted to get off the train and explore on foot - the engineering is pretty impressive as well. Thanks for sharing!

Softypapa used to live in Japan and do just that, including the abandoned cable transport. His vids are still here.

No problem, anytime! We would love to see you on foot sometime also, many thanks.
It’s obvious that this line was a major undertaking with all of the tunnels involved. I’m sure the repairs are extensive and look forward to seeing the operation when it reopens.
This line should be familiar to anyone who've seen videos of the SL Hitoyoshi steam train. Note the large number of passengers leaving the train at Sakamoto Station--there must have been an event sponsored by the village assocation there.
Noticed the first part was electrified are they planning to do the rest or are they removing all the electrical? Great video thanks for posting enjoyed it a lot.

how much do cab drivers get paid? It must be a dream job for many train fans.

At 29:53 the light turned green must have been a train in the same block? The mirror system in the stations is a good tool for the train driver to keep track of the passengers activity.

I think the station signal box has the turnout (switch) at the signal in position to protect the train from going out on the line if it should pass the signal (left, to dead end) and using some logic if there is no meet, it will change the turnout position after a while (when the train is detected as stopped or assumed to have stopped after some elapsed time) and when it has locked in the other position (right, towards the line) the signal turns green. There are not that many trains on this rural line. Educated guess, I have no specific knowledge about Japanese CTC systems.
Love the scenery and the old school ride. But that's a problem: the vibration causes a distracting camera shake while underway. Great view nonetheless....
