I was never interested in trains really, but this popped up in my feed, because I went searching for the principles of the maglev techology and other Japanese related interests. I have been to Japan (Kyushu, mainly Kirishima) and I must say that you have a lovely country. Even though I was never related to trains, as I said, I subscribed your channel and will follow up future videos, because you make them so interesting. Some of them you show the beauty of Japan and that takes me back to when I was there. Please, don't change your approach on detail and depth of analysis, ever. Greetings from Portugal! はじめまして、こちらこそ宜しくお願い致します m(__)m
But if the price is high the number of passengers is limited by the price. I rarely go up to the Jungfraujoch in the Swiss Alps because of the price. Thank you for sharing your video with us.
I think it's a good idea to limit the number of visitors by the number of trains in operation. However, I am afraid that limiting visitors by price will make it a place that only rich travelers can go.
I think a railway line to a place visited as much as this, is definitely a good idea. However, 10,000 JPY is a bit too much for a railway line with no intrinsic value for tourists. There wouldn't be special views, for example.
(long read) こんいちわ Takeshi! Did you know that European Train manufacturer Alstom is good with solving complicated situations like this? They build trams like the one you have showcased in this video from Bordeaux. I believe it is possible for a LRV to be fitted with a battery and could be charged, as well as re-charged at stops/stations equipped with overhead wiring. But only at the stations so that these won't be implemented along the line in accordance to the rules of the nature reserve. Link to reference: ua-cam.com/video/9XZfC-QP398/v-deo.html If you look at the video from 0:47 you can see what I mean. Ofcourse this is me only pointing out to the technology used. Not the rolling stock itself as it is obviously meant to be put to use in urban areas. This technology is in use around the world already and wouldn't jeopardize the operation. The only issue with the batteries is that if a vehicle is ever halted somewhere you'd be in trouble, bringing the entire line to a halt due to safety measures. Theoretically you could fix this by installing so called "Charge points" on scheduled locations where said vehicle could take a "rest" to charge it's batteries for a time shorter than a minute. This wouldn't be a problem as every vehicle on the timetable would have to go through this process. However financially, the only problem with the fare system is that the Corona virus would see to it that it'd generate a lot less money in practice I also feel like, because of that they'd be forced to lower prices. ¥10.000 is a bit much even for such an experience :/ Let me know what you think, or if there's any errors in my idea!

I hope they will consider speaking with railways in Switzerland to study options from a country that's an expert at rail lines in mountains ;-)
Thanks for great information. Your research is very good.

10,000 yens is definitely too expensive. It should be comparable to the Hakone day pass which is about 5700 yens right now.

Thanks for sharing the link. Now I understand the system fully. :)
@@JPRailcom Yes! When you said what the railway required, I instantly thought of Alstom technology!!!
