Riding Japan's Strangest Subway Train like Doctor Octopus | Osaka Metro 400 Series

[@mini_is_gone]

Seeing this makes me want to just set aside two months to experience Japan. I LOVE the commentary you are providing too! Someday I’ll go to Japan. It looks so fun!

[@cdfgjrvbdjhvjdr2429]

it is fun!

[@camotech1314]

Same, it looks amazing 😮

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

Ugh- I was just having this SAME exact thought. Down to the number. I was thinking that a good 2 months would be great. I am so happy because I just got a job offer from a company that I previously spent 7 years at and they informed me that after the new year rolls over, they will put me back to the amount of Time Off that I owned BEFORE I previously left the company. So I am already thinking of planning a big trip to Japan perhaps in early 2025 or at least February of 2025. I will have enough PTO.

[@heldscissors4132]

hey right around when you commented that I started my 2 month journey there

Best of wishes to you, those you love, and all the people of Japan and that all of you made out well through the earthquake and tsunami.

[@shedoublerwhyme2013]

The view spectacular! Thanks for sharing that with us!

[@НадюшкаАлексеева]

Здравствуйте. Спасибо за ваши видео, всегда с нетерпением жду новых. Очень понравился парк на вершине горы, а от видов захватывает дух. Спасибо что делитесь с нами такой красотой.

[@bubastisthegogcat9393]

Мне нравится, что в Японии столько разных поездов: разноцветные, быстрые, медленные, новейшие, старинные...🚄🚅🚝🚞🚃🚂🚆🚇🚈🚉 и ещё нравится, что в каких-то поездах можно посидеть рядом с машинистом и снять на видео дорогу👍 Парк на горе - просто супер!🎡🎢💈🎪 Особенно понравилась вилосипедная канатная дорога🚲🎢 Виды сверху захватывающие! Большое спасибо!🌸

[@daffyduk77]

Great video, thanks! Super amusement park location. the Japanese have such a refreshing take on public spaces/facilities too

[@sogenesis5738]

Wonderful trains. Also, the Kiramager theme fits with that theme park wonderful: a very cute and magical place.

[@blazedlikeamf]

Those “arrival jingles” are such a core memory from when I visited Osaka. When I came back to my home country, I googled them and downloaded it to make my ringtone immediately.

[@otooto2715]

The train design at mt ikoma are so adorable...so fun ride monorail cycle to see fantastic view...thanks for this beautiful video 🎉🎉🎉

[@СветаТихонова-х5ч]

Но,ведь ,действительно,красиво.Вам спасибо,за то,что делитесь красотой.

[@pineapplestitch1783]

Oh yeah! The markings really do look like Doctor Octavius from Marvel. Love watching these videos!

[@xredgambit]

Added this to my trip ideas. Just a cool looking place to visit and spectacular views.

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip. From modern spaceship shape metro into unique shape mountain cable car. And yeah that amusement park is great.

[@WTMACH]

撮影したすべてのビデオクリップに感謝します。 あなたのビデオを見るのが本当に楽しかったです。 動画に出てくる場所に行ってみたくなりました。 そして、私はあなたの次のビデオクリップを待っています。

[@FVI297]

I like the design of the train with the octagonal windshield!

[@melleetoo]

Your videos are great. Wish you put them out more often.

[@gailhutchinson2881]

This was a fun video! You have a good sense of humor.

[@evgeniavag]

Спасибо за видео! Очень красиво! С нетерпением жду следующее путешествие.

[@franciscawrites8972]

This episode was “packed” with interesting information

[@JonathonKirkby]

Thank you, your videos give me such pleasure! Fascinating to see these places, the food looks delicious, and I love forgetting the stress of ordinary life for a while and travelling Japan with you

[@chaetostoma5]

Crazy in a most wonderful way!❤

[@luzmasvida9987]

You are my favorite traveler from Japan! I love trains and other means of transportation in Japan, they are incredible! I always watch your videos, greetings😘

I like your channel and hope to attend Osaka 2025.

Beautiful view of the mountain.

初めてコメントします😊3週間ほど前におすすめに出てきてから登録していろいろ拝見しています😃生駒山上遊園地は子供の頃やかなり昔に大人になってから行ったきりで、このところすごく人気があるというのは知っていましたが、いい歳ですがまた行きたくなりました😊そしてあやめ池遊園地が懐かしくなりました😌✨

[@franbongard]

Thank you so much for sharing that. What a magical place Japan is! Sending you love and safety and to all our Japanese brothers and sisters!

[@wolfgangk.7695]

Vielen Dank für das tolle Video. Absolutely perfect. Thanks 👍

[@НатальяПолетаева-ю8ф]

Какой замечательный парк с видами! Уютный и красивый.

[@ИбрагимДринкерманн]

Был в этом парке, но к сожалению в этот день в Осаке было пасмурно, но мне так рекомендовали его к посещению, что даже дождь меня не остановил. В следующий раз обязательно схожу в хорошую погоду. Поезд новый выглядит современно, но мне больше нравятся старые, они более аутентичные и милые.

[@CoffeeHound1]

Another good video! Thank you!

[@dianeladico1769]

Sending good thoughts and prayers for you, your family and your country. Hoping for minimal damage and injury from the earthquake. Please do a quick video as you're able so your viewers know you're well.

[@linofe9667]

Wow. All fantastic. At the end the cry of child, is universal.

[@athallahnaufalhafizh2073]

22:27 an amusement park experience is not complete without a random kid crying at something and also what a way to end the video 😂

[@andrewweitzman4006]

Reminds me of when they were transitioning from the MR-73's on the Montreal Metro to the new Azur sets. It was a treat to finally get on one!

[@KY-ol7tr]

大阪にこんな電車があったのか。かっこいい

[@pusheenlimit]

5:31 It feels kinda trippy when being at a place in a video. I'm pretty sure this is the same bridge I saw outside the Kaiyukan aquarium, Went to the mall there too. I was there... exactly 2 weeks ago. Damnnnnn

[@dianecalhoun7649]

This beautiful country is number 1, on my travel bucket list,

[@clavel040281]

Been there twice! 2013-2017 oh i miss Japan so much. This country is beyond crazy. Keep japan this way

[@mukeshvig174]

This was such a beautiful ride and also a fun ride to the amusement park. What a stark difference from the hustle & bustle of Osaka ! I noticed a lot of stairs but are there elevators/escalators to go up the mountain? Thanks indeed ~ 👍👍👍

[@acatisto80]

Amazing 😍 hugs from Brazil❤

[@АндрійМихайлюк-с9б]

Japan is a beautiful country and wonderful peoples!!!

[@palmi7816]

Мне понравилось. Благодарю! Некоторые поезда действительно странные :)) виды с горы потрясающие! Ваши комментарии в видеоролике - огонь :)

[@HighLevelPlayer]

This was such a beautiful video. I would love to see these sights in person. What a beautiful world we live in.

[@groorg3430]

OMG absolutely fantastic love your videos ❤❤❤❤

[@muramatsukikuo8866]

地下鉄と言い、生駒のケーブルカーと言い、なんだこの独創的なデザインは！・・； 「さすがは大阪！・・」と言いたい。 ビルの高さや地区の開発では東京にいささかなりとも遅れを取っていた大阪だが、ここに来て挽回の動き も見られる。その最たるものが地下鉄の最新車両で世界中からの注目も集まる！。 また、生駒のケーブルカーも「平和日本の代表」の様な存在ゆえに、いつまでも残して欲しい。

[@mastri-handoyo]

the 400 series train design is very unique, looks futuristic and also there are phone charging. Excellent!!!

[@TransitFans]

Wow Japan is beautiful the food and great transportation. There trains are so fantastic no questions about it. Great video love it

[@alexdeuez4945]

Merci pour cette super vidéo 👍 Les images et vues depuis le parc sont magnifiques 🤩 Et ça semblait très amusant d'y passer un moment 😁 Et ces petits trains, trop choux 😏 Le métro est nickel, comme toujours chez vous 😎 Le repas semblait bien bon aussi 😊 À bientôt pour de nouvelles images de ton beau pays 😘

[@ekonomist5]

Everything is clean.❤

[@roncaruso931]

Your subway system is immaculate! Here in NYC some parts of our subway are over 100 years old. We have people who dont care about each other. They are disrespectful and crude. We also have lots of crime in the subway.

[@InLoveWithCities]

Tokyo started having metro lines in the 1920s. London started having them in the 1870s. Age of the system is not a factor. The NYC subway has been neglected for the past 70 years. Of course it's shit (for the population size it's serving).

[@roncaruso931]

@lars7935 No kidding. Great Britain was the first to have an electrified subway. NYC was next. The NYC subeay is the largest in the world. It has multi level tunnels! These were built in the 1930's and 1930's. Yes, people are slovs in NYC. Pigs. That's why the system is a mess.

[@InLoveWithCities]

@@roncaruso931 Counting the largest system is extremely difficult. Yes NYC has technically to longest track and most stations. That however doesn't account for through running trains and the multitude of other rapid transit operators in Tokyo. Nor has NYC the highest ridership. Not by far even. It's all about funding and staffing. Staff it what keeps public transit clean elsewhere not some kind of superior spirit of the people. And if you think multi level tunnels make NYC special I got some news for you...

[@roncaruso931]

@lars7935 OK. Show me some multi level tunnels. NYC engineers built them in the 20's . Amazing engineering for the time. NYC has the largest subway system in the world. Period.

[@InLoveWithCities]

@@roncaruso931 There's nothing special about multi level tunnels. My city has them in the underground system and so do many (inlcuding London on some of the oldest lines). NYC subway is only the longest because it was incorporated into one operator. Many cities have larger rapid transit systems. It's just that they are split into multiple operators. Nothing special there. I get that you want to feel special. In that case I would suggest you focus on 24/7 operations which are not unique but fairly rare. Oh and also badly underfunded mainteance, shitty service patterns and underinvestments so massive you had whole tunnels unused because you couldn't afford to run trains through them for half a century.

[@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623]

3:08 Yes, that is Stanley Park, Vancouver.

[@pauls5981]

I stayed in komaki city for 2 weeks staying with a friend such a beautiful country and used the train to nagoya have to say people were helpful and happy to help have to go back again arigato

[@bandsalat8995]

07:19 This is so typical Japanese: This written message is to prevent passengers complaining about train staff "playing games" on their tablets 😁

[@carolemerle9995]

I was so sorry to hear about your earthquake damage and tsunamis. I hope you're safe.

[@alangfp]

Omfg visiting this place is such a huge dream of mine.... Thank you so much for sharing this

[@Shidohari]

I love the experience here on these cable cars that you shared with us. In case no one mentioned it already the pokemon you have is a Munchlax, which is the cute baby form of Snorlax. It's perfectly paired with it's pokefood bowl. I also noticed that the Kirameger super sentai opening was playing in the background during your cycling monorail somewhere around the 18 minute to 20 minute mark. Some of the best music I listen to is from Super Sentai and Kamen rider Series, and I order them directly from a company called CD Japan (also known as Neowing) who ships them from Japan to the USA for me. I am building up my cd collection. Thanks again for this video.

[@MrAleksey1972]

Спасибо за красивое видео.😊

[@patrickrodriguez8797]

I beat you in rock paper scissors lol But really, fantastic video! I miss Japan more and more while watching these types of videos. Can't wait to get back this year!

[@danjee464]

The image of the cat train in the mirror at the end is so cool. I took a screenshot of it.

[@Desmaad]

I like the octagonal front on that stock.

[@Taygool]

Виды с горы парка развлечений - самое прекрасное, что мне доводилось видеть в YT. Я серьезно!

[@ceritadesy3755]

you are right, the view on the amusement is really great 😲😍

[@jonathanlanglois2742]

I seriously love those elevated guideways. The sights are absolutely stunning. They are also less pricy to build than tunnels. In Montreal, a group of NIMBY recently managed to get a metro project on an elevated guideway canceled. While the rest of the world continues to build transit, North America continues to lag behind. I really hope that things change soon. There is no reason not to build elevated guideways on a 6 lane stroad that is by definition some of the worse type of infrastructure that we have. If anything, it would drive change and likely end up improving the built up environment. 20:40 I cannot see any trees in that concrete mass. I guess that's one thing about Montreal that I absolutely love. Trees are omnipresent just about everywhere in the city.

[@explorer47422]

20:27 Beautiful views! Sadly those aren't clouds hanging low in the city, it is smog (smoke + fog) produced by all the vehicle emissions - it is pollution not clouds :( - notice it is only in the city and not near the forests or mountains.

[@ИгорьМайданюк-л6ж]

Спасибо большое дорогой друг за видио❤

[@Del-Lebo]

Awesome mix of new and old trains and experiences!!! I wish I could visit there!!!

[@renerivera9715]

Beautiful ❤

[@Techno-Universal]

It’s also possible that those trains were originally designed in the 1980s as a concept design but never saw the light of day until a few years ago when they revised the design for modern standards and actually went ahead with building it! :)

[@_xuu8483]

This new subway car was designed by Ken Okuyama(奥山清行), who also designed the FERRARI Enzo.

[@VICTORLUIS24]

What about rock scissors paper ?😊 Merry Christmas from Venezuela

[@じゃんがりあんぶれど]

途中で速度計が映ったけど「あれ？遅くない？」と感じた人に説明。 大阪メトロは元々路面電車が増えてきた自動車の妨げになってきた問題の解消の為に誕生したもので、その建設にあたっては経費削減のために「既存の路面電車の地下化」というスキームを採用したため事業免許は軌道線（路面電車）のままで最高速度が70km/hに設定されている。 あとこっちの方が安い。 ところが専用軌道のみで踏切が無い路線にこの速度設定は駅間距離の短い中心部ならともかく郊外では不便なので徐々に速度を上げて行く方向に転換。 更に生駒より先の区間には第三軌条方式では日本最高速度の90km/hまで出す。

[@glaucioresende]

感謝❤

[@LewisYamanoteAintReal]

22:25 I'd be crying too if I realized that THIS is what I'd be riding in. 😂

[@vladimirvoznesensky6357]

What's amazing with charging stations? New trains of Moscow metro have USB charger sockets on every seat.

[@thhseeking]

I think the crying child didn't want to go home :P

[@jaumesolermery7608]

The figure that appears is not Snorlax, it is its pre-evolution Munchlax.
