This incredible train line will soon be abandoned ❄️ HAKODATE → OTARU

- I rode the JR Hakodate Main Line from Hakodate to Otaru in Hokkaido, Japan. Part of this train line will be discontinued when the new shinkansen to Sapporo opens in 2030. But the section from Oshamambe to Otaru, across the Oshima Peninsula through Kutchan, offers jaw-dropping scenery that you won't be able to see from the replacement bus (and definitely not from the shinkansen, which will mostly be in tunnels). I rode this route in the height of winter, when the mountains, valleys, rivers, farmhouses, and fields were all covered in deep snow. The remote, rural scenery was genuinely astonishing. And it's a shame to think that it largely won't be seen in a few years. It's a loss for anyone who loves seeing the views from a ragtag little local train. But I managed to capture it in this video!

No way, a vlogger that slips the Immigrant Song into a video featuring a train ride to Otaru gets an immediate LIKE!
Hard to believe all those sites from the trains won't be seen anymore in 6 years. So much for progress.
Glad someone noticed! I always travel with Led Zeppelin 😎
@@T1DWanderer Then I suggest you ramble on before the levee breaks.
You need some sunglasses. Of course that will make you look
"COOL". Stay warm. The wind in this video is making me cold. Be safe😊😊
Thanks. Maybe should have taken some sunglasses. But I didn't know; didn't grow up with snow :/
That was fun, Jeremy -- I got to be Number One seeing it. Why didn't you wear your snug hat all the time? The snow depth reminded me of the Donner Summit, where a train was trapped in the 1950s, and where people ate one another 100 years earlier. Japan looks so much more civilized in your videos.
I encountered very little cannibalism in Hokkaido ;)
The trains were warm enough on board, and if I'm outside a very short time sometimes I don't bother with the hat. Like the locals up there, apparently...!
So enjoy your content. THIS IS A SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE !
Thank you!
Another wonderful travel with you.❤❤❤
I feel bad for the persons in the villages along those lines. How will they get around without their train?
I guess by bus
Wonderful video as always. How has no one mentioned Waldo at the 24:22 mark?
I noticed that when editing, but not when I was on the actual train! Well spotted, Samantha 👍
As @clarkmadrosen1780 said below, you should be wearing sunglasses more often....it's not a mater of being rude by hiding your eyes, it can help prevent vision problems in the future.
And here's some "Mom" advice: put on your tuque and zipper your coat up when it's so cold...please.
Thanks. Next time I visit a snowy place like this I will take sunglasses. Thanks for the advice about zipping up too :)
Hi Jeremy just one question. Do you ever talk to the locals you see in your walking around the small villages??????? Your videos are showing me Japan I want to see. He from Downunder 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Yes, I try to when I see someone. One of my recent favorites was in this video - a local politician stopped to chat with me as he was going door to door, and said he went to college in Georgia (where I'm from)! Weird coincidence, and a friendly guy: ua-cam.com/video/JWfjwo8BuFA/v-deo.html
You are what we call "Living the Dream". Look forward to next video.
