Arctic Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 This was a really good episode. I think this narrator that they have used in some recent episodes really matches with the atmosphere of the show more than some of the presenters they have had. Every episode is also a treasure trove of scenery ideas. I also often spend a fair amount of time after watching an episode on hobbysearch to see what models have been made of the railway lines featured... so far I have resisted these temptations but it always surprises me how many models have been produced. I was wondering if anyone still had copies of any of the older episodes they could share? I was specifically looking for the episode 'Autumn in Japan's northern island' which seems impossible to find anywhere, but any of the earlier episodes would be good. None of the older google drive links on this topic work anymore unfortunately. Link to comment

Tony Galiani Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Enjoyed the show. Inspired me to watch a cab ride video of the line. Looks like it will close when the Shinkansen goes into service around 2031 - - sort of sad but I guess that is understandable. Tony 1 Link to comment

Arctic Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 A new episode randomly seemed to appear? I checked yesterday and looked like an old episode was showing for this month, then this appeared? A Winter Wonderland in Fukui We journey through the snowy landscapes of northern Fukui Prefecture in central Japan on the Echizen Railway. The local trains, which are a lifeline for residents, operate over a total distance of 53 kilometers and provide access to many sightseeing locations. Visit the 770-year-old Eiheiji and practice zazen meditation, sip locally brewed sake and dine on Echizen crab, as we train cruise through the natural winter wonderland of the old Echizen Province on the Sea of Japan. 1 Link to comment
Tony Galiani Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Finally watched the Tokyo Station episode from December 2022. Didn't realize just how big the station is. I had been there but never went out and saw the original side of the station - just the Yaesu side apparently. Didn't know there was a museum there as well. Just added it to my list of places to visit on my next trip. Ciao, Tony Galiani 2 Link to comment
katoftw Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Just watched the Fukui episode. Nice to see the new platforms for both this railway and the new shinkansen platforms adjacent. Fukui seems like a nice part of Japan. 1 Link to comment
