scott Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 If you're looking for high-speed shinkansen passes and neon skyscrapers, these are *not* the videos for you. These three videos show rural scenery, farming activities, etc., along a very quiet line. I haven't watched everything yet, but so far pretty much all I've seen have been single-car Kiha 120s. But the videos are well shot and very interesting. {EDIT}: Forgot to ask -- at 1:37 in the 3rd video, there's a sign with a black salamander. Could anybody tell me what the sign says? Looks like something I might want to put in a model scene. 3 Link to comment
bikkuri bahn Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 along a very quiet line Boy, you can say that again- only 5 trains a day (see 0:10 in the first video). Sanko Line in Shimane and Hiroshima Prefectures. 1 Link to comment

Looks like something I might want to put in a model scene. I believe this is a wildlife conservation sign telling passengers not to throw trash into the river. I'm not sure if the salamander is just a random character, or if there is some significance. Link to comment
scott Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks! With a little more digging, I found that this river is in the range of the near-threatened Japanese giant salamander. Link to comment

clem24 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Gosh I love Japan. Those are very nice vids. Everything is so lush and picturesque. Link to comment
Guest JRF-1935 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Scott Thanks for the vids. Gorgeous scenery. As cteno4 stated "very soothing" Relaxing to watch and very nice to see everyday life in a part of Japan. The rail operation was nice but couldn't compare to the flowing tranquil life of the river and rice paddie farmers. Regards, Rich C Link to comment
