Stunning train ride through a secretive region ❄️ KUSHIRO → ASAHIKAWA

- I rode the entirety of Japan's most remote train route. It goes north from Kushiro in eastern Hokkaido. The Senmo Line has some of Japan's least-used stations along it, and ends at the rough and tumble city of Abashiri on the Sea of Okhotsk. After that, I rode an Oyuki limited express on the Sekihoku Line through bigger mountains to Japan's coldest city, Asahikawa. On this six-hour odyssey, I saw thrilling snowy landscapes, looked for a glimpse of Hokkaido's deer and foxes, was stunned by huge chunks of endless pack ice bobbing in the ocean near Abashiri, and became mesmerized by the beauty of a train route through some otherwise completely inaccessible terrain. An experience like no other in the world.

Another splendid glimpse of rural Japan. Keep them coming Jeremy!
Dream train trip for me. I want to see the food an hotels up there, but the train journey did not disappoint.. Thanks Jeremy.
Thank you! We enjoyed this one. Laughed at the cough. Meal looked delish.
Thanks! Oh that cough...
Thank you for your videos again..
That was a cold looking trip. Get yourself some polarized sunglasses. That will cut down the glare for you. I use them and it helps. Stay warm. Enjoy. 😊😊
Sounds good, thanks. I did use a polarizing filter on the camera for this video and it made weird streaks all over the windows. Hmm...
@T1DWanderer good deal
Another spectacular video.
The faces you made when somebody coughed or sneezed look like mine in that situation.
Another great video. Love traveling thru your lens. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thanks! Stay away from the coughers
You're such an outgoing person -- do you ever strike up conversations with fellow passengers? Another question -- about those foxes. Don't the Japanese consider them dangerous, evil spirits?
I would, but people are generally closed off in their own sort of quiet zone on these trains so I don't bother them. On more local trains with open bench seats it can sometimes happen. (People have even struck up conversations with me on occasion!) Foxes are sometimes thought of as mischievous beings that are connected to the gods. Maybe not actual foxes like in Hokkaido, but certainly the little fox statues at shrines!
Hope you didn't contract the C word. It looks so wintery there. Was this in April?
It was in March. I didn't have Covid as far as I know - I did feel a bit worn out in an upcoming video soon after this, but its as from general exhaustion, not because I caught something.
@@T1DWanderer Good to know!
Okay Mr Change-My-Seat-At-WIll, bring a pair of sunglasses next time. That winter wonderland can blind you and you might not be able to see all them foxes.
I certainly learned that lesson on this trip!
