Riding the CRAZY Capsule: Feels Like a Roller Coaster Through a Residential Area🚡

I just took a ride on a train that runs through a residential area in Hiroshima Prefecture, similar to a roller coaster.
I took a ride in commemoration since it's about to be discontinued soon

Thank you so much for showing me something I will NEVER see or ride. I live in California, I’m 75 and bed ridden that’s why I say I’ll never see or ride it. But you gave us a wonderful video of the ride up and down this rail system. Thank you so much!

[@experience_japan]

I’m truly touched by your words. It means a lot to me that I could bring a piece of the world to you. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

[@dulljumbo4321]

big dave, I hope you will live forever

[@LeeLeeCRN]

Big hugs to u! I'm glad u can watch n enjoy these videos! I love watching these type of videos as well bc i don't think I will ever get to see these places either. I am not complaining AT ALL here bc I know that I am very fortunate but I'm also realistic. I'm a single mom of 2 boys (one being special needs) living on a nurses salary in a very expensive state. Traveling isn't something I can see myself being able to do for the foreseeable future. Thankfully I'm within an hour of Atlantic City n a few other popular beach towns so short trips there n a few drivable out of state getaways are the extent of my travel destinations lol. I am grateful for that though n I'm grateful for these awesome videos! Take care of yourself❤😊

[@moaningpheromones]

could never be viable with that much overhead.

[@donnabursey1457]

I'm so glad you took us on this ride before it's gone! It would be sad to never experience this lovely little travel capsule, suspended and gliding through the air. It's a shame that it has to go. 😢 It would be neat if someone salvaged these and put them as a ride around a Safari park or something! Thank you for taking on this journey! See you next time!

[@experience_japan]

I'm so glad you appreciated the ride before it's retired! It's bittersweet to say goodbye to such a unique experience. The idea of repurposing them for a safari park ride is fantastic! Thanks for joining the journey, and I can't wait to share more adventures with you. See you next time!

[@mikegross6107]

Didn't you read about WHY it is being shut down? NO PARTS! Also loss of revenue.

[@donnabursey1457]

@@mikegross6107 yes, I did read that. Doesn't mean it's not sad to see it go.

[@PeterJD35]

Gondola rides are a popular tourist attraction 🎉😊

[@triarb5790]

I'm so annoyed with myself. I went to Hiroshima in 2019. There is so much to explore in the region, so I parked this in my 'next time' box, dammit! I love doing 'different' things like this. Instead of arriving by shinkasen from the east, I arrived into Hiroshima by ferry from Matsuyama, I really chillax way to view the Seto Inland Sea, then got the tram into the city from the ferry terminal. Hiroshima and Takamatsu are, so far, my favourite Japanese cities. I like the laid back vibe of both. Takayama is a lovely town too. Hiroshima felt very ' Australian'. In part because of the bottle brush and gum trees everywhere ( historical trade connections) but it also has a similar tempo to an Australian city.

[@prinzkomi5490]

oh lol I did not expect to hear German during the okonomiyaki part 🤣

[@rachaelk7866]

Lol she was pretty loud though poor guys with her couldn't get a word in sideways her meal prob got cold by the time she shut up long enough to eat lol

[@triarb5790]

There is a whole food hall area of okonomiyaki restaurants. Mostly us tourists in there.

You may not be the only one who make travel content in this manner, but you do it in a way that I like - unobtrusive travel is what I call your content. Love it!

[@experience_japan]

Thank you so much! I'm honored to hear that my style of 'unobtrusive travel' resonates with you. It's my goal to share the beauty of the world in a way that feels natural and inviting. Your support means a lot. Much love!

YES 💯👍. A relaxing, non ego driven KZbin channel.

I like this channel the most of all I have seen, tbh! Very calming, very relaxed and genuine. No hype chasing or obnoxious commentary that is always complaining how things are in japan.

[@spacebug30]

Yes! I wish more travel content creators would make videos like this, for places like Europe and the US. It's so nice to watch these videos.

[@user-lk2qf4rt3m]

OMG YES! This video has come at the perfect time since I'll be in Hiroshima in less than a week!! The dream is coming true everyone... I hope you all get the opportunity to visit beautiful Japan in your future. Let's respect Japanese culture and be good travellers. And to our dear Japanese friends I say this... We travellers may make mistakes from time to time because there is a lot to learn and your culture is very different from ours, but for 99.99% of tourists no harm is meant! Most of us spend 100s of hours watching videos just like this one before we come to try to minimise our impact and grasp the way things are done. We appreciate the understanding and help and we look forward to spending lots of our money with great local businesses!

[@experience_japan]

It's wonderful to hear about your enthusiasm and respect for Japanese culture! Enjoy your trip to Hiroshima and thank you for your thoughtful approach to travel. Safe travels and enjoy every moment in Japan!

[@shigeruharada2885]

People like you are always welcome!

[@user-lk2qf4rt3m]

@@shigeruharada2885 We had the most wonderful time in Japan. A dream come true from start to finish. The Japanese people are so kind, and so respectful. Thank you for your appreciated welcome! The sacred island of Miyajima off the coast of Hiroshima was a moving experience, we stayed overnight in a ryokan. However I do understand why Japanese people can find tourists annoying. Not every traveller was conscientious. It was disappointing to see, for example, that the sacred torii gate at Meiji Jinju was covered because people had been scratching their names in to it. This is infuriating not just for the Japanese people, but also for all respectiful citizens of the world. I hope Japan can encourage visitors to distribute themselves over the whole of Japan and not just take part in overcrowding particular sites. Japan is more than Asakusa, Osaka and Kyoto.

It's sad to see the Hiroshima Skyrail close down. It was fun to ride and an excellent place to take pictures for family and friends at home. (I had a friend who lived in Midorichuo.) It was nice to see it again, and a shame I will never get to ride it again, when I return to Japan. Looking at the bright side though, Hiroshima-yaki is still a thing.. I like both types, though, equally, viva la difference!

[@experience_japan]

It's always tough to see favorite places change or close down. I'm glad you have good memories of the Skyrail, and it's great that you can still enjoy Hiroshima-yaki. It's those unique experiences that make our travels so memorable. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks for this amazing video. The people will regret the loss of this if they demolish it. In 10 or 20 years we can't imagine what life will be like, and this seems like a magical way to integrate mass transit with housing in a mountainous region.

[@experience_japan]

Really appreciate your insights! Preserving such gems for future generations is indeed crucial. 🌍

[@uojUnXyoiDD]

This is the Sky Rail transportation system in Hiroshima. It connects residential areas on top of the mountain with railroad stations at the foot of the mountain. Total length 1.3 km, elevation difference 160 m. Unfortunately, it is scheduled to be discontinued in April 2024. If you want to ride it, you should go there now.

[@berndheiden7630]

Since 1901 a similar public transportation system exists in one German city: the „Schwebebahn“ in Wuppertal. The literal translation would be hovering street car and that is exactly what it is. A whole streetcar with several cars hanging from a rail perched over the small river Wupper by that getting the transportation of people off the streets of the narrow valley.

[@experience_japan]

That's incredibly innovative! The Schwebebahn sounds like a unique and efficient way to navigate the city. 🚠

Here in Europe we are used to seeing videos and images from main cities like Tokyo, and it always looks very busy and crowded. However, Hiroshima looks really nice! Especially from the air as experienced in this monorail. Quite sad to see it's going to disappear, but I can understand the issue of cost of maintenance... Dismantling will cost a pretty penny too, I think, but it probably will be good for the city if it's replaced by EV buses. Thank you for taking us on this journey, glad we had a chance to ride along - we will remember 🙏

Let's hope the people that used this cable car on a daily basis won't get stuck in traffic jam with the new busses. 😅

The only time I have noticed wear and tear of a building in your videos. Usually everything is pristine clean, but one can tell that this place has seen better days. Sill, I cannot get over how cool and interesting Japan is. Also, I'm really excited to start recognizing a few written symbols here and there being a total novice studying Japanese! Big progress for me LOL (I still rely on phonetical latin supplements in my exercises to be understand what is written, but I'll get there!) P.S. I really LOVE the neighbourhood the rail is in, would be lovely to live there. Looks serene, will be very quiet when the rail is gone and surrounded with mountains. Wonderful picture!

[@experience_japan]

It's fantastic to hear about your journey learning Japanese and recognizing written symbols! It's a big step forward, and every bit of progress counts. Keep at it, and you'll find yourself understanding more and more. And I'm glad the neighborhood caught your eye; it indeed sounds like a peaceful and picturesque place to be. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and progress with us!

[@GarlicAvenger]

Everything about the video shows so much beauty. even the mundane, residential areas have this clean and functional beauty without any real embellishments. And just seeing everything in working order, and peaceful.... Just a pure pure kind of beauty, that is very hard to describe or put into words as to why I feel that way. I wish I was lucky enough to have grown up in japan, because where I come from is full of crime, and filthy all the time. Buildings have graffiti on everything and everything public is broken within a week as people have no respect for others or public facilities.

[@experience_japan]

I had one of the craziest days ever when I rode that. I was studying abroad at Nanzan in Nagoya Fall 2022, and I did a coaster trip. That day, Halloween, I went to Washuzan Highland and rode a backwards coaster and made my way to Miroku no Sato and rode another backwards coaster in the same day! I took local trains from Fukuyama to Hiroshima to save money lol and saw this line on my map and decided to hop out and ride it! So glad I did what a quirky system. Hopped back on the train to Hiroshima, visited the genbaku dome then caught the last Shinkansen of the night to Hakata. On Halloween so in Hiroshima everyone was all dressed up it was fun haha.

This is what EVERY CITY needs, doesn't take up a lot of space and can go ANYWHEREEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I would love to travel on this to work everyday, listen to songs on spotify while travelling on it. Admiring the scenary. Why would anyone want to choose this over a train going through tunnels beats me.

[@experience_japan]

I'm with you on that! Having a transport option that allows you to enjoy the scenery and have a pleasant journey sounds amazing. It's all about the experience and making daily commutes something to look forward to.

[@filbertlimboenang7914]

The problem is, it won't fit for much city Especially in a high urban density when higher capacity and speed are more demanding, there's reason why they built underground tunnel because you won't build something like this in the middle of metropolitan, it would be nightmare

[@MrThorsten93]

diese sache mit den Eiswürfeln würde mich jetzt noch interessieren, mache darüber bitte noch ein ganzes Video :D Sorry, musste sein :D Klasse Video :)

[@strassenbahntk]

Thanks for filming! Japan has so many transport gems. It is a 'Gadgetbahn' though, and ropeway manufacturers still try to sell 'urban ropeways' like this as if they were some future-bound innovation, trying to outrun moremeaningful modes of transportation. Had they instead built a modern streetcar in 1998 instead of this, it would most likely remain in operation, although the served area looks like suburban sprawl which is generally not easy to serve with good public transport. Anyway, great that you have documented this, as it is still technically interesting and the views when floating high above the streets are of course gorgeous.

[@EngineerCatPyro]

Wow what a cool way to travel. To bad its being discontinued.

[@19800910]

This is great, I was in Hiroshima in April of 2023 and I did not know about this! In Germany we would call it a "Schwebebahn" or "suspension railway" in Englisch. In Wuppertaler Germany we still have a "suspension railway" sinces 1901. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuppertal_Schwebebahn

[@experience_japan]

That's fascinating! It's amazing how different places have similar innovative transportation methods. The suspension railway in Wuppertal is an iconic example of such engineering. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you get to explore more hidden gems like this in the future!

I was not sure when this was being closed, I am only coming to Japan in November and spending a few days in Hiroshima in December! Thank you for showing the journey before it closes :)

They certainly love all different types of rail travel in Japan! This one is quite unique. I'm still trying to think of who this capsule is for. Do people in the neighborhood just ride it down to the bottom? I'm surprised there aren't shops or other attractions at the top of the hill. It seems like the residents at the top are the only ones who really benefit from this service. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your interest! Yes, it’s quite a unique form of transport here. The capsule is mainly for locals, making it easier to navigate the steep hill. It’s an interesting point about the shops and attractions; it would indeed add more charm. Appreciate your thoughts!

Fascinating thing - I'd love to ride it! I guess the problem with it is that it goes past hundreds of houses, but there are only 2 stations apart from the railway station, so most houses are a long way from one.

[@experience_japan]

Absolutely, it would be amazing to experience! Adding more stations could really enhance its accessibility. 🚝
