Tony Galiani Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Not Train Cruise but another video from NHK so thought I would post it here. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/9999s85/ I have been going through NHK's abundance of programs and videos on all types of topics when I spotted this very brief one and thought it would be nice to share. I just like the vibe of it. Tony 4 Link to comment

That's a great show although the presenters can come accross a bit weird at times. Usually comes out on Fridays from what I've found and you can find the new episodes on NHK's Youtube channel. It's the episdoe on the Sth Hokkaido line that got me into Japanese railways! 1 Link to comment
