    A four minute delay, with an older train on a three hour trip, across the mountains, in snowy conditions.
    My respects to that train driver, as one professional to another. That was very neatly done.

      Same here. There is basically only summer here in the Philippines the whole year. People feel cold when the temperature outside is 25 degrees. In rare instances when temperatures drop to 20 or lower, people start to get sick. 15 or below, some old people may die.
      Fortunately, I spent my childhood in Japan and have experienced some limited snow during my vacations in temperate places in the world

    As a girl I lived in the Colorado Rockies, and we always had a lot of snow - sometimes beginning in September. As an adult, I am living near Lake Erie, and sometimes the lake effect gives us more snow at once than I ever saw as a kid! We've already has three small snowfalls since mid November, but now it's in the 50s (low teens Celcius), and raining. Weird weather is weird 🤷‍♀️.

Some years we will get snow in November, other times it won't come until January. We will have mixture of rain, snow, freezing rain and ice pellets throughout the winter.

    I am from an area in the USA that gets a lot of snow due to being on one of the Great Lakes. It's called "lake-effect snow" because when the cold air comes over the water before the lakes freeze for the year, it can dump a LOT of snow in very little time. It's actually the same thing as the sea-effect snow that happens in the north of Japan, so the area I live in has something in common with Japan!

    Nice ride. Fresh snow is very pleasant to look at, especially in the countryside. I live in Palmdale, California. We get very little snow as this is the desert, but it does get cold enough to freeze and put ice on our roads a few times each winter. I am from Cleveland, Ohio, and in my youth I saw many seasons with snow like that.
    A warm vehicle is a cozy place to be going thru cold winter weather. A lot of fun. Thanks for posting.

In the mountains they've had very heavy snow this winter and the local ski resorts have all been able to open early. Down here in the plain we get no snow at all (well, once about 10 or so years ago) and no frost to speak of. I can see the mountains from my village though so I get some wonderful views of the snow-capped peaks without the inconvenience!!

    It amazes me how some of Japan's older rollingstock seems to offer a quieter ride than some of the newer prestige trains; some of the new Shinkansen seem to suffer from very noisy airconditioning, a distinct lack of sound proofing and lengthy highly repetitive announcements - not conducive to resting whilst travelling.

    I was almost asleep when this last announcement startled me. I live near Poznan, the middle of the western part of Poland. We used to have a lot of snow every winter but in the last decade there wasn't much snow, problably due to the climate changes, but this years February was like a winter wonderland with lots of snow and my dogs were so excited with this new fluffy cold thing being everywhere. They were three years old back then and it was their first real snow. And it's snowing here since yesterday but due to the above 0 Celsius degrees most of it melted during the day. But southern part of Poland where our mountains are there's always a lot of snow.

    I live in Jacksonville, Florida (US). We might have snow every 5 years or more. If we do get snow it's light flurries that melt before they hit the ground or melt on contact with the ground. The last time it was cold enough here for snow to last was December 23, 1989. We got just under 2 inches for about 4 days. The last event of snow actually sticking before was 1958. But, I spent quite a bit of time in Virginia before moving to Florida. There, it snowed every winter in varying amounts. I have to say that, yes, snow is pretty to look at but not fun to be in.

    I live in Sweden not far away from Gothenburg and my town got snow little over a week ago and we have a few centimeters of snow now along with temperatures down to about -10C, it’s actually not very common for my area to get this cold already in late November even though it does happen. These temperatures we have now are more commonly seen in January. Between easily getting cold and having struggles to get around (I’m an ambulatory wheelchair user) I stay at home as much as I can now (plus of course current situation making me avoid going out as well)
    I do hope now that our snow will get to stay until after Christmas, but knowing our weather, it can be cold and white all of December until sometime between December 20th and 23rd only for the snow to melt before Christmas and then Christmas Eve is usually mild and grey and then snow comes back on Boxing Day or so and stays until February-March sometime just to peeve us all...

    I reside in Richmond Virginia. We had our last big snow storm in 2017 when we got 4 feet of the stuff. We have not had much since, although we often get ice storms and heavy rain, especially in Feb and March. I am not much of a snow fan, but I sure like watching your videos with all the pretty stuff.

    Hi Kuga, I enjoy your video's a lot. I live in NE Ohio. In years past we have got a lot of snow but lately not so much. My parents were born and raised in West Virginia about 3 hours south of my home. It is very hilly and get a lot of snow too. From minute 2 on I thought your travels reminded me of my trips down there. Lots of snowy beautiful scenery. Merry Christmas. Keep on making your video's!!

    This reminded me of the first time I travelled to Echigo-Yuzawa on the Shinkansen from Ueno. We went into a long tunnel then emerged into a snowy landscape not long before we reached our destination. (It was only later that I found out that was the opening to the novel Snow Country.)
    Watching that snowy landscape going past made me feel happy and sad at the same time. So thanks for this video.

    Snow is a very rare event here in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Less than an inch of snow every three to five years.....when it happens, everything closes. 🤗❤️️

    i live in houston, texas, usa. the weird part about it is that while we rarely get any snow at all, when we do it can be a big problem. the USA and especially states like Texas are pretty much disasters. for example, in texas, in order for our rich people to get richer we dont spend our money to update and improve on many of the basic facilities of modern life. one of these things is our electrical and power systems. so when it does freeze it can give us real problems like last year for example, where it froze, we got like an inch or two of snow but our power was out for like a week (many people froze to death, it is a tragedy). but i dont mean to be all depressing! i loved the video and all of your videos. people should know about what i mentioned though, i wish it were different, i hope it is in japan! thanks kuga!

    I'm from the Philippines living in Japan and I love your travel videos. I/we usually travel doing roadtrips using our car as it is quite cheaper rather than taking the train but I would love to try this too with this view, and it is much more safer that driving during winter most especially on a snowy day.

    Kuga, love your videos! The non-verbal approach and your occasional cameos make them unique and enjoyable. My wife and I are anxious to visit your country thanks to your travels. As far as snow goes, I live in Lake Tahoe California and we get our share although in recent years we've struggled some. Anyway, thanks and look forward to the next one.
