Tokyo - Capital of Trains

[@Yonaka87]

My toddler is obsessed with trains and this is the best video we have seen. Thank you for all the shots! Good job 👌

[@johnmadsen3888]

Having been to Tokyo over 30 times this video does an excellent job of showing the variety of rail tranist options and the rolling stock. Its a rail fans paradise. Trains in Japan, second to none.

My god, I get why you were gone so long. Thank you for this!

[@VeryGoodFeeling]

Thanks for watching! :)

今までに見た交通機関動画の中でもベスト３に入るくらい素晴らしい動画でした。撮影お疲れさまでした。

[@VeryGoodFeeling]

ありがとうございます！

[@acm_1985]

Fantastic Video, thank You for sharing! This brought back a lot of memories. Tokyo is so far away in these times...

[@VeryGoodFeeling]

Leider ja. Gleichzeitig bin ich irgendwie dennoch glücklich über die zurückliegenden Reisen, ist in jeder Hinsicht ein tolles Land. Danke sehr für deinen Kommentar! :)

[@japanesetrainandtravel6168]

Great editing of this video mate! I have been to a 70% of those places. Love Ochanomizu!

[@VeryGoodFeeling]

Thank you for watching and your comment! Indeed, Ochanomizu is definitely worth visiting with all its viaducts on different levels.

[@delusionalwestbrookfan5745]

Been looking for a vid like this for a while now, thanks for this! I can't wait to see this myself because I've wanted to visit Tokyo for such a long time, weirdly enough the trains are a big reason why, I love all those trainlines :D

[@VeryGoodFeeling]

Hope you will get the chance to explore Tokyo by yourself soon then! Thanks for your comment! :)

VGF! Thank you for posting this video. I have not been able to get to Tokyo recently, for obvious reasons, but this video really picked up my spirits! The footage from 12:03 is taken from Hamasaki Bridge? Once again, thank you so much.

[@brandontownsend6955]

Ok, not Hamasaki Bridge. I found the spot. Looking towards Hamasaki Bridge. 😆

[@VeryGoodFeeling]

@@brandontownsend6955 Thanks for watching and glad you like it! :) Yes, it's on the western side of the railway line along the national route 15. For me that whole scene seemed a little bit like it was somewhere in south east asia, so I was surprised to find it in the middle of Tokyo.^^

[@ArielCruzPizarro]

Uff. What to say? I saw it in full, I think I'll see it again and see it again before I travel to Japan, what a good video! Very very grateful for everything, so many beautiful images, trains that I did not know and places where I hope to go sometime (thanks for the subtitles too). The only question I have is the location of the minute 05:42, is it Yurakucho? (As I have not been, I can not locate the exact point on the map; the visual is wonderful!) And also the heights of Oji, what building is it? Of the rest, a marvel. It made me want to take the train that crosses Akibahara (the one with yellow doors), I have seen the Marunouchi trains, the monorails ... really thank you, many greetings from Chile!

[@VeryGoodFeeling]

Muchas gracias! :) The location is inside of the Itocia building south of Yurakucho station. On 4F there was an italien restaurant which offered nice food and of course this great view on a open terrace. As I tried finding it again on google maps I couldn't see it anymore, maybe another restaurant took over in the meantime, but don't worry, the location with that view remains. goo.gl/maps/W9ZpvhyL1LfGNz7x5 For the high rise building just north of Oji station, just look for the Hokutopia multi-use building. The observatory is free and offers spectacular views for the Touhoku Shinkansen and the Utsunomiya Line / Keihin-Tohoku-Line. Glad you like it and I hope you can vist and enjoy Japan by yourself! :)

[@ArielCruzPizarro]

@@VeryGoodFeeling Very, very, very grateful! Yes, I am very excited to go and enjoy everything (in the meantime, I see your videos that are wonderful!). Have a nice week and many greetings! :D

Wahnsinn. Ich habe schon damals deine Japan-Videos gemocht. MfG Jan

[@VeryGoodFeeling]

Vielen Dank! Freut mich sehr, damals wie heute :). VG und schönes Wochenende Amin.

Capital of EMUs for sure, but looking for videos of JR trains hauled by locomotives I never find much other than some seasonal express train or freight trains. Is there a specific function behind JR's preference on multiple units over classic "engine + carriages" composition? I'm very curious

[@VeryGoodFeeling]

Good question. I think in the case of Japan, there was already strong commuter traffic in the metropolitan areas in the pre-war period. With the help of EMUs (e.g. JNR 30-33 or 40 series), it was possible to shorten turnaround times, achieve higher accelerations and thus higher capacity. Outside the main trunk lines and the metropolitan areas, the Japanese rail network is often characterized by tight curves, steep gradients and low possible axle loads, where EMUs/DMUs have also proved their worth. Maybe you will find these two articles interesting: www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr27/pdf/f40_ina.pdf (by Kenji Inayama, former lecturer at Meiji Gakuin University) www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr41/pdf/f24_son.pdf (by Satoru Sone, former professor at Kogakuin University and director at JR West) It's only my guess but I think nowadays it became kind of a habit to only develop EMUs/DMUs (lately also MUs with alternative propulsion), as there are still no advantages seen in getting back to locomotive-hauled trains.

[@lars7935]

EMUs have better acceleration, are lighter and offer more space for the same length of train.

まず都市部は戦後の工業用途の石炭需要を満たすために電化が促進された経緯があります。 当時の電力需要はそれほど多くは無く、水力発電で賄えるほどでした。 当時の国鉄は自前の水力発電所をいくつも持っていたので、それを利用して電車や電気機関車を動かしていました。 そして貨物列車は1970年代には都心部を迂回する環状線ができていたので、都心部に貨物列車が進入することは現在ではほとんどありません。

[@mw-yc3wp]

日本の鉄道は、狭軌(1,067mm)の鉄道路線が多く、大きく・大馬力の機関車で牽引出来ず。その為に動力分散方式にしないと長編成の列車を 牽引出来なかった。更に、新幹線(高速鉄道)では動力分散方式が適していた。この様な理由の一つが日本では動力分散方式に成ったと思われます。

[@allyreneepenny9447]

Tokio is so impressive and beautiful👍

[@ndudeYT]

The title is an understatement.

[@JintySteam1]

Its fun watching such a busy rail network in action.

Like train

[@besnikzogaj9887]

You know what? My opinion idea is London & Tokyo train is the best that's because the only place it has to be.
