Tokyo and Osaka trains videos

[paolo]

In the past couple of months, I've been lucky enough to go to Japan quite a few times, mostly in Tokyo and Osaka.

One of the highlights of all these trips were of course the trains.

I've put together a few videos of everything that I saw, I hope you find them interesting 😉

The Osaka region one was interesting.

Thanks katoftw, I loved the Koya line to Koyasan, the scenery is lovely, especially those red bridges and all those trees around the tracks

I beieve the second Osaka region train is a later JR Series 225.    The 323 is only on the Osaka Loop Line (and orange -- this one is brown, which is what many of the JR West trains in the area sport) that I can see, and comparing front end pictures of both, the lower "air dam" front end piece has a larger cut out, like the 225 (where the coupler goes).   The 323 pics I have seen show a smaller, less tall cut-out in the front air dam where the front coupler is.

 

Compare:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/323_series  and the 225-5100 pic on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/225_series

Thank you chadbag, you're absolutely right! Theye are so similar, I got them confused.

I've put a note in the video, thanks again!

They are similar.  227 as well.  I had to study images closely to pick up the differences (as a layman).
