Japanese Scenic Train Ride Experience in Kyoto ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 бер 2019
- Japanese trains are famous around the world for their style, comfort and speed. In the countryside of Kyoto though, you may not have speed, but you do comfort and style. The Eizan Electric Railway starting at Demachiyanagi Station is a 94 year old line that is evolving fast. Since commuters are decreasing, Keihan Railways has changed the way it designs its trains to attract more tourists.
The plan is working and the Eizan Line is super cool.
The trains are all “One man” one person operated trains where the driver is also the conductor, taking tickets and payment before letting passengers off. They’re the ultimate multitaskers!
In September 2018, a strong typhoon damaged a lot of the Kansai region including Kyoto and the Eizan Line suffered heavy damage. The line was suspended for 90 days, the longest in its history. What’s impressive is that the entire company pitched in to help from the technical staff and construction to the office workers at headquarters. It’s a great example of teamwork in Japan and a reason why the Eizan line is so beloved.
There are many interesting stops on the Eizan line worth checking out.
We’ll stop at:
★ DEMACHIYANAGI STATION
The first station with change to the Keihan Line express for Osaka and Kiyomizudera, Gion, Central Kyoto
★ ICHIJOJI STATION
It’s known as Kyoto’s Ramen Town! There are 36 shops serving some of the city’s best!
★ KURAMA STATION
You can hike around Mount Kurama and Kurama Temple or head to Kurama Onsen for a dip in the closest hot spring to Kyoto city. It takes 40 minutes to reach Kurama from central Kyoto.

Keihan Railways sells tourist passes for 1500 yen ($14.00) from Kyoto Tower. It’s also sold in Osaka at the airport and in town.
For foreign residents of Japan like me, there’s a 1-day train pass for the Eizan line for 1000 yen ($9.50) that lets you jump on and off. You can get this pass at Demachiyanagi Station.

Proving once again that John & Only in Japan is the best "ワンマン” show on UA-cam! NHK's "Japan Railway Journal" better watch out! But seriously, it is fun to see videos on rail passes other than the JR Pass. Japan has MANY of these regional tickets. One could dedicate a series to exploring these regional passes. Additionally, tourists can get these passes at a great discount without the need to pre-purchase. (The JR pass must be purchased before leaving to Japan and it's quite expensive.) These regional passes often come in 1, 2 and 3 day unlimited travel varieties and can can be purchased at the station after showing your passport.
With much Love from India. Japan is truly an epitome of how a society should be, Modernized yet root in their traditions and discipline.
This may be Kyoto's hidden jewel for visitors! Very few international tourists here.
The Japanese really took their train and train service to the next level.
The train from Kyoto to Takayama was gorgeous - love scenic train videos. Well done!!
Thank you for featuring Kyoto.
I love how the seasons are a big part of everything in Japan, including the trains! The train going along the track surrounded by the colors on the trees was so beautiful! A trainspotters paradise! I spotted a Kevin Riley on one of them too! 😉😁 Thoroughly enjoyable John! 🙏
I travel in Japan with you !! Thank you so much 🇯🇵
Your channel has proven to me why I MUST visit Japan in my lifetime. Keep up the amazing and hard work showing the best parts of an amazing country! Much love <3
Must say John, You have really out done your self this time! Keep up the Amazing work! Its people like you that get folks interested in Japan!
Those trains must be nice to ride when it rains. The water gently falling on the windows..
Ok...I have watched it... twice even. I love these trains.. omg, the oval faced one is gorgeous. I would go the japan just to ride the trains. Seriously, I would.
I have never been to Japan, but the more I see of the railways, the more I definitely want to go. Thanks for a great video.
日本に興味を持ってくれてありがとうございます。
I can pass days by watching Japanese train videos without becoming ennui
I took this train to go to Kurama Onsen without knowing the beauty of it beforehand. It really has a Ghibli atmosphere to it and I strongly advise you to take it especially for the Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi fans.
This is a video worth the wait
Just a few days ago I stumbled upon your channel and want to say that this is the best thing that could happen to me, since my childhood I love Japan and their culture, technological progress together with upbringing, perseverance and hard work makes them in my eyes the ideal people, who love their homeland. This is just a small part of what I can convey through my comment. Also my thanks to John for a very beautiful, incredibly interesting job, each video is shot and edited as a Hollywood blockbuster ! My respect to You !!! And finally even such a simple boy from Afghanistan as I watch anime and read manga xD
I am a fan and I worked for a railroad for 43 years and a long time of the rails. Thank you for another trip I enjoyed a great deal.
I LOVE your professional style! With interviews and background-informations, keep it up ;-)
