Kuga, here in the U.K. if we get 2cm of snow our whole country grinds to a halt, our schools close, our trains stop running and everything grinds to a standstill. Lovely video showing us how it should be done.

Same overhere in the Netherlands...one leaf on the track or a bit of snow and it is down...
That's because we have literally become a nation of 'health and safety' snowflakes 🌨️.... It wasn't always thus in the UK. The trains still ran in very heavy snow in the 'great freeze' in the 60's for example.

Больше года назад пересёк границу РФ с Украиной, сам вышел к пограничникам и обращался в ДМС Украины г.Сумы по вопросу политического убежища. Летом 2021 года было отказано. Поехал непосредственно в г.Киев, обращался в другие отделения ДМС Украины. Всего за осень того года был в около 5 отделений ДМС, также обращался в посольство Великобритании, вызывался наряд нац.полиции - привод без оформления+там в отделе приходили люди из СБУ, насколько я понимаю (ими мне сразу же говорилось, что писать какие-то обращения на физический почтовый ящик Посольства бесполезно)
На днях, 9.03.2022, пошел к Офису Президента с 2-мя обращениями в письменном виде, т.к. нет денег, заканчивается еда по причине блокировки всех счетов и карт, статус на территории Украины неопределен (являюсь гражданином РФ). По дороге у магазина "Stvol" на пр.Победы был остановлен бойцами тер.обороны для проверки документов, подходили сотрудники полиции, после чего был вывезен в какие-то гаражи с повязкой на глазах в наручниках; после "беседы" обращения забрали, к Офису Президента сказали не ходить. Обыскали номер, забрали зарядку и местную банковскую карту (заблокированную, с денежными средствами на счету). Адрес проживания: г.Киев, ул.Машиностроительная (более подробный в личных сообщениях офиц.страницы СБУ в фейсбуке). В общем денег нет, еду не достать, периодически в вайбере пишет администратор отеля с намерением выселить.
Меня готовы принять в Лондоне🇬🇧, по всей видимости, но таким образом удерживают в Украине. Я вынужден идти в ближайший магазин и "мародёрить" - возьму картошину, будем дожидаться сотрудников полиции на кассе (мне действительно нечего есть)
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Агрессию РФ осуждаю, к ввп отношусь отрицательно, слава Украине!
Владимир Александрович, поспособствуйте, пожалуйста, разрешению моей ситуации, пока небо над Украиной открыто...

When I was a kid in Canada schools would only close if the snow got out of control aka a blizzard
Honestly, with all of the terrible things going on in the world, watching a new video from you is a very welcome relief 😊
I do agreee.
I have added Niigata to my ever evolving 3rd Japanese holiday itinerary.
I am yet to find another country as perfect as Japan.
I think a lot people in the west don’t realize that Japan gets the most snow on the planet!
I didnt realise till I started watching channels about Japan, I thought places like Canada, Russia, Norway etc would be the worst but Japan has massive snowfall.. I never knew, so grateful for youtube, I am learning so much about other countries.
@@ellem2293 same here!
@@happy_camper the more you know
I lived in Canada and Finland before but Japan has much much more snow, and snow in Hokkaido is excellent , amazing powder snow
We have taken the Toki Shinkansen from Ueno Station numerous times but never continued on further than Echigo-Yuzawa. So it was interesting to see what the trip to Niigata city is like.
We love Echigo-Yuzawa. It is readily accessible from Tokyo and you are right in the town when you get off the train. We love the hotel we always stay at, which is visible from the station entrance and can be seen in the opening part of this video. There are lots of good places to eat at the Shinkansen Station and there are lots of ski resorts, a couple of which are right in the town.
Some fun facts about Echigo-Yuzawa are: Yasunari Kawabata (川端 康成) won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1968 for his novel Snow Country. It is set in this town and he was living there when he wrote it. It opens with a description of going through a long tunnel to suddenly appear in a snowy landscape - which is exactly what happens!
The region is called Uonuma and it produces rice which is frequently rated as the best in Japan in the annual competition. You can buy humungous onigiri (the size of a softball) at the station made with this rice. They are delicious and make a great breakfast before a day skiing.
“It makes me feel I’m back in Canada again”. “Though I haven’t been there before “ 🤣
Fantastic trains, scenery, stations,
everything so clean and modern.
I knew it snows in beautiful Japan, but I didn’t imagine that it is so heavy..!! Beautiful..!!
Amazing that they can do that with such speed during a heavy snow day!!
You arrived on the little train that could. And you left on a flying snow train. That's a trip I'd like to do.
I only want to comment, WOW that water melting system is soo basic and creative
Watching the world pass by through the windows of the train gives me joy similar to watching the ground pass by when I fly. Cities that are ugly and dirty when you see them from the ground are pretty from the air especially at night. Thanks for taking us on a very nice ride in the snow.
Thank you Kuga. Wishing you safe travelling in this beautiful country of yours. Have a blessed day 😇🙏
It would have been cold out there, but it looked beautiful. Thank you for the video!
I live close to the 🇨🇦Canadian Rocky Mountains🇨🇦 ⛷🏂and we did not see a great deal of snow this year. However, it is March now and snow is forecast for this evening, so our winter lasts a lot longer. ☹❄⛄ Love your channel!
Good evening Kuga. Nice to see another video of your adventure. Here in Montreal the train will still run but not above 5cm's I believe. Thank you for sharing. 😁
Echigo Yuzawa is a fun place! I am a sake somelier, so the sake museum/vending machines at the station is so much fun!!
Spinklers to melt snow on the tracks: The Deutsche Bahn here in Germany will never understand. Nice greetings to you Kuga!
In Europe there was hardly any snow this past winter because it all went to Japan. 😁So I am watching Japan videos to see the snowy scenery that I love so much. Thanks Kuga! 🥰💖🤗
Calm and interesting video as always! So relaxing. Hope you are all safe in Japan now!
I remember Niigata has good skiing areas 👍👍👍👍⛷🎿
i run this train on all my long haul lines in transport fever 2, love the looks
The German ICE travels 300kmh. Great video. I am always so impressed how clean Japan is.
Enjoyed your video and the train ride very much, thank you from England 🙏
Thank you for sharing Kuga :)
Wow such engineering!
I have visited Echigo Yuzawa just 2 days ago. Lovely town and you can feel their slow paced life.
Unbelievable how much snow Japan has gotten this year.
Beautiful ride thank you for sharing 😊
A new video, and still heavy snow in Japan?
Thank you for keeping up to take us with you!
I do desperatly hope to visit Japan this year...
That this video is uploaded shows me, you are alrigth Kuga?
Have you experienced the earthquake?
The video was dated from January, not now in March.
@@barrygomberg2524 ok there is an "is there" missing...
Japan looks a amazing organised country I would love to be able to visit one day the people are lovely as well. Thank you 🙏
Beautiful trip, Kuga. Thank you!
143 mph in heavy snowfall 😁! And so beautiful! 🥰 Japan in Winter 😁🇯🇵!
I love all the hot-springs around Japan - first saw that during’98 Winter Olympics in Nagano ❤️. The only scary part is that the circumstances that create the hot-springs also make Japan so earthquake-prone (joining-place of tectonic plates, part of the famed “ring of fire” around the Pacific).
Thanks for the ride! I never tire of seeing freshly fallen snow.
Thank you for so many wonderful videos and stunning train journeys!
Amazing. Gosh I wish we had trains here lol
Wow! So amazing! Really impressed with this video! Enjoyed it 100%!
I love watching your videos. It's a great way to see other countries. Keep them coming. A fan in USA
Echigo-Yuzawa is this insane travel hub that seems impossible to exist in a place like this.
Thanks for posting this trip, it was very relaxing to watch. I was wondering if life is getting back to normal now in Japan, with easing of travel restrictions. Your train trips always seem so uncrowded, not like I remember when I was in Japan many years ago.
When I checked a couple of days ago, japan was not open to tourists, only returning nationals. Hopefully that will change soon.
I wouldn't call this snowfall "massive", but ANY snow is better than none. Winter is THE best!
I’d love to see the ski resorts
Thank you again, Kuga! I always love your videos! :-)
Beautiful scenery! Amazing! Love snow! Thank you for the video!
Video için teşekkürler.
Gerçekten kar yağışı çok yoğun.
Trenlerin bu hava şartlarında sorunsuz çalışması iyi.
Japonya'nın en fazla kar alan bölgesi nin burası olduğunu öğrendim.
Şimdi Türkiye'nin Doğu Bölgelerinde de kar tünelleri açıldığını biliyor muydunuz?
One of my dreams..to be in this journey one day
I really do enjoy all your trips. I could easily watch for hours.
Very beautiful color train and nice journey.
So beautiful!
I always love watching your videos. This was no exception. I envy Japanese infrastructure. Here in the north of England, where we had the first ever intercity train line, we have nothing as impressive as this.
Thanks! I love these vids!
Wow just beautiful
awesome trip Kuga. Be safe.
Aww i absolutely love your train travels 😁😁😍
Fantastic!
I would love to take this ride. Thank you for your outstanding and hard work. God bless.
This is amazing.
Love your stuff...

So wonderful! So samui! Domo arrigato!!! Dono simasen. ❤❤🌸.
Thank you
技術力の高さを感じます。
Quality content
Thank you for your channel! Every time, I feel like I actually visited Japan for a moment. Because you are silent, an illusion arises that the presenter is absent, and what you see is your own observation.
very nice video !
Nice capture bro
god bless and protect the hard workers at JR Railway for going outta their way to make sure the japanese people can get safely to and from work on the shinkansen while in this winter craziness and god bless and protect you mr kuga-san for going outta your way to bring us train fans like myself these awesome videos of your travels🙏📿🗾🏣🏯🎎. 久我さん、ありがとう、そして安全に
Kuga-san, arigatō, soshite anzen ni
It’s interesting all the methods Japan uses to control snow that work because it’s so warm.
Its 3 a.m here ... I'm ready to travel
laughed at the canada comment. i'm in ontario, canada, and i've noticed that our weather is similar
I'm glad you're making videos. I like to watch the "sleeper train" videos after dark in bed while eating snacks. I like to pretend I'm there too, and I mean that in the least weird way 😂
😊whe have in the Netherlands almost no snow.thanks for this amazing snowing video,its super. greetz:🍐Peer. stay save and warm.laterzzzzz.👍👍👍👍👍
Too cold for this old body. Looks like great fun.
Super ❤️
Excellent video, as usual. Just astonished train clocked 200kph+ in heavy snow. Curious to see how those office cars are configured. Do the seats turn to face one another, like they appear around 11:00?
Ah what a winter wonderland. Kuga-san, have you ever been stuck after a trip where you cannot get to a hotel, etc.? Thank you!
WOW!! Clean trains! Amtrak, are you watching?
Hey Kuga, can you take a ride and show us around the Odakyu Romancecar service?
Also I'd like you to visit the railway museum that's in Nagoya
Also wouldn’t spraying water even if it’s constant just cause ice eventually
0:40 (Train looked like the usual R142/A, R143, R160, R160B, and R179 that you would see on the NY Subway nowadays
Woot!!!
UA-cam is up to 3 ads now. Hi Kuga. Love your video.
Niigata is *NOT* as snowy as some people think. That's because the geographical "shadow effect" of Sado Island keeps most of the heavy snowfall away from Niigata city itself.
Were those seats moving? Also what’s a office car is that like business class or something or is it more like a car with individual rooms where you can hold meetings and whatnot?
6:40 Got jump scared a bit here cuz I coincidentally have the same name as the station lol
This opens a whole can's of worms!!
I'm in CANADA...You've got ALL my snow, eh?!
Do they use hot water from the springs to spray the tracks?
Interesting the water doesn't freeze!
Do these sprinkler spray warm water onto the railroad tracks?
poor train looked sad when it first pulled up lol
Do these express trains have power points to charge your electronics ?
Looks a depressing type of snow gray and overcast not the sunny and crispy type.I don't think I've ever seen so much of it!
