Taito City, Tokyo "Rickshaw Driving Through Asakusa" Video Introduction The video "Asakusa Viewing on Rickshaw!! 浅草を人力車で iPhone Creative 4K,"released by "Studio Hakugeiスタジオ白鯨," is a video showing sightseeing in Asakusa, a popular tourist destination in Japan, by a rickshaw. The rickshaw featured in the video is "Ebisuya," in Asakusa. As you can see in the video, the number of rickshaw pullers who can show you around in English has been increasing in recent years. In addition to Asakusa, where this video was taken, you can also try out rickshaws at other popular sightseeing spots in Japan, including Kamakura and Arashiyama in Kyoto. In addition to the Ebisuya rickshaw shop featured in this video, the Jidaiya's rickshaw shop is also popular. Enjoy sightseeing in Asakusa by rickshaw through the amazing 4K footage! The Rickshaw: History and How It Works! Photo:Asakusa・Rickshaw Rickshaws are the perfect option for those looking to explore popular tourist spots but find it difficult to walk around, or for those who want to experience a different kind of sightseeing tour. Rickshaws are called "jinrikisha," in Japanese, written "人力車." The characters mean: 人: Person 力: Power 車: Vehicle Which basically comes out to be "A human powered vehicle." A rickshaw has two large wheels and a comfortable pedestal, and has a cover that protects passengers from the rain. Rickshaws were first introduced in Nihonbashi in 1872, approximately 150 years ago, and were used as one of the main modes of transport during the Meiji, Taisho and early Showa periods (around 1930). It was also used to transport geisha and maiko in the Karyukai world (Kagai). You might be worried riding one of these bad boys is expensive, but the price is actually quite reasonable, starting at around 3,000 yen per person, and sometimes you can find discounts for couples. If you make a reservation before sightseeing, you can rest easy knowing you'll have a great time sightseeing. Famous Attractions in Asakusa!

Asakusa has a rickshaw lane on the road, so you can enjoy sightseeing without getting stuck in traffic jams. Summary of Rickshaw Rides in Asakusa Source :YouTube screenshot Many of the part-time rickshaw drivers were once talked about as being good-looking. If you go around the sightseeing spots of Japan by rickshaw, you're sure to have a good time! It's also a good idea to specify your destination, or ask the rickshaw drivers to show you hidden gems that only they know about.

ICカード(Integrated Circuit Card)は、必要ひつような電車でんしゃ賃ちんを乗のる前まえにチャージができるカードです。 They can be purchased at stations all across Japan. 日本全国にっぽんぜんこくの駅えきで買かうことができます。 IC cards make train travel incredibly easy as you no longer have to purchase a ticket and calculate costs every time you ride the train. ICカードを使つかうと、電車でんしゃに乗のるたびに切符きっぷを買かったり、料金りょうきんを計算けいさんしたりする必要ひつようがなくなります。 Simply scan your IC card at the ticket gate and the fee is deducted from your card automatically. 改札かいさつでICカードをスキャンするだけで料金りょうきんが自動的じどうてきに引ひき落おとされるので、電車でんしゃの旅たびがとても簡単かんたんになります。 IC cards can be recharged at terminals where tickets and IC cards can be purchased. ICカードのチャージは、切符きっぷやICカードが買かえる自動券売機じどうけんばいきでできます。 When coming to Japan from overseas, you'll likely be landing at either Haneda Airport or Narita Airport. 海外かいがいから日本にほんに来くる場合ばあい、羽田空港はねだくうこうか成田空港なりたくうこうのどちらかに着陸ちゃくりくすることが多おおいでしょう。 Both airports sell IC cards, but the video will show you how to purchase them at Haneda Airport. どちらの空港くうこうでもICカードが販売はんばいされていますが、動画どうがでは羽田空港はねだくうこうでの買かい方かたを紹介しょうかいしています。 First, you'll need to find the ticket terminal. まずは、自動券売機じどうけんばいきを探さがしましょう。 As shown in the video, these ticket terminals also have multilingual support, so even if you can't speak Japanese, you should have no problems using them. 動画どうがで紹介しょうかいされているように、自動券売機じどうけんばいきは多言語たげんご対応たいおうもしているので、日本語にほんごが話はなせない人ひとでも問題もんだいなく使つかえるはずです。 After using the ticket fare chart above the ticket terminals to find your destination and ticket price, you can put in your money and receive your ticket and change, as well as a receipt. 自動券売機じどうけんばいきの上うえにある切符きっぷ運賃表うんちんひょうで目的もくてき地ちと切符きっぷの料金りょうきんを確認かくにんしたら、お金かねを入いれて切符きっぷ、おつり、領収書りょうしゅうしょを受うけ取とります。 If you're going to need a connecting ticket, simply choose where you'll be changing lines, enter the name of the station you'll be going to, select that station, and pay. 連絡れんらく切符きっぷが必要ひつような場合ばあいは、乗のり換かえの場所ばしょを選よらんで、行き先ゆきさきの駅えきの名前なまえを入力にゅうりょくして、その駅えきを選えらんでお金かねを払はらいます。 [Video] 2:16 - How to Purchase Train Tickets at Haneda Airport 【動画どうが】2:16~ 羽田空港はねだくうこうでの乗車券じょうしゃけんの買かい方かた As shown in the video, there are a variety of different IC cards used across Japan, but Suica and PASMO are the main IC cards used in Japan's Kanto region. 動画どうがで紹介しょうかいされているように、日本全国にっぽんぜんこくでさまざまなICカードが使つかわれていますが、関東地方かんとうちほうで主おもに使つかわれているカードは「Suica」と「PASMO」です。 By following the instructions displayed on the ticket terminal, you can easily purchase an IC card. ICカードは、自動券売機じどうけんばいきに表示ひょうじされる案内あんないに従したがって、簡単かんたんに買かうことができます。 You'll also need to charge it for your first use. 初はじめて使つかうときは、チャージも必要ひつようです。 There's also a personal PASMO where you can enter your details, but this is mostly for residents of Japan, so if you're just traveling, it shouldn't be necessary. 個人情報こじんじょうほうを入力にゅうりょくする「名前なまえ入いりPASMO」もありますが、これは主おもに日本にほん在住者ざいじゅうしゃ向むけなので、旅行りょこうが目的もくてきの場合ばあいは必要ひつようないでしょう。 [Video] 4:19 - How to Purchase an IC Card at Haneda Airport 【動画どうが】4:19~ 羽田空港はねだくうこうでのICカードのチャージ方法ほうほう To recharge your IC card, simply press the recharge button.

ICカードで改札かいさつを通とおるときは、ICカードリーダーにICカードをタッチして、「ピッ」と鳴なれば改札かいさつが開ひらいて通とおれます。 [Video] 8:00 - Passing Through the Ticket Gate With an IC Card 【動画どうが】8:00〜 ICカードで改札かいさつを通とおる様子ようす After passing through the ticket gate, you can head to the platform where you can wait for your train. 改札かいさつを通とおったら、列車れっしゃを待まつホームへ向むかいます。 If you have a lot of luggage, you can use the elevator, but if you're traveling light, you can also use the escalators. 荷物にもつが多おおい場合ばあいはエレベーターを使つかいますが、荷物にもつが少すくない場合ばあいはエスカレーターを使つかっても良よいでしょう。 Be sure to double check the train information at the platform to avoid getting on the wrong train. 間違まちがえて乗のってしまわないように、ホームにある電車でんしゃ案内あんないをもう一度いちど確認かくにんしましょう。 [Video] 8:15 - Going to the Train Platform 【動画どうが】8:15〜 ホームへ向むかう様子ようす Most trains in Japan will have a small electronic display that tells what the next station is and what kind of train you're currently riding. 日本にほんのほとんどの電車でんしゃには、次つぎの駅えきがどこか、今いま乗のっている電車でんしゃの種類しゅるいを示しめす小ちいさな電光掲示板でんこうけいじばんがあります。 Most trains have this displayed in English as well. そして、ほとんどの電車でんしゃには、この掲示板けいじばんは英語えいごでも表示ひょうじされています。 [Video] 9:10 - Getting on the Train 【動画どうが】9:10〜 電車でんしゃに乗のる様子ようす Just like when how you got on the train, simply insert your ticket into the ticket gate slot when getting off. 電車でんしゃに乗のったときと同おなじように、降おりるときも投入とうにゅう口ぐちに切符きっぷを入いれると降おりられます。 If this is your final destination, the ticket won't come out on the other side. 最終目的地さいしゅうもくてきちの場合ばあいは、切符きっぷは反対はんたい側がわには出でてきません。 [Video] 9:39 - Getting off the Train & Exiting the Ticket Gate With a Train Ticket 【動画どうが】9:39~ 乗車券じょうしゃけんで電車でんしゃを降ふって、改札かいさつを出でる様子ようす If using an IC card, touch the IC card to the IC card reader until it beeps, and pass through the ticket gate.

ICカードの場合ばあいは、いつも通とおり、ICカードリーダーにピッとなるまでICカードをタッチして通とおれば大丈夫だいじょうぶです。 Just be sure your card is adequately charged or you'll have to go to a ticket terminal to recharge before transferring. ただ、カードにチャージされている金額きんがくが足たらない場合ばあいは、乗のり換かえの前まえに自動券売機じどうけんばいきでチャージする必要ひつようがあります。 [Video] 10:46 - Transferring Trains With an IC card 【動画どうが】10:46~ ICカードで電車でんしゃに乗のり継つぐ様子ようす When transferring with a train ticket, insert the ticket into the slot on the ticket gate, and be sure to grab it on the other side, as you'll use it until your final destination. 乗車券じょうしゃけんで乗のり換かえる場合ばあい、最終目的地さいしゅうもくてきちまで切符きっぷを使つかいますので、改札かいさつの投入とうにゅう口ぐちに乗車券じょうしゃけんを差さし込こんで、反対はんたい側がわで必かならず取とってください。 [Video] 11:26 - Transferring Trains With a Train Ticket 【動画どうが】11:26~ 乗車券じょうしゃけんで乗のり換かえる様子ようす Once you get the hang of Japan's railways system you'll be traveling at a much faster pace. 日本にほんの電車でんしゃに慣なれたら、もっと効率的こうりつてきに観光かんこうができるようになります。 I highly recommend using an IC card as it will save you a lot of time that would otherwise be spent buying tickets and calculating prices.

No Talking on the Phone 1. 通話つうわは禁止きんし Talking on the other phone is definitely something to avoid, as it can be noisy and can cause trouble for other passengers. 通話つうわはうるさくて、他たの乗客じょうきゃくに迷惑めいわくをかけてしまいますので、絶対ぜったいにやめましょう。 It's also good manners to keep your phone on silent or some setting with which it won't ring. また、携帯電話けいたいでんわはマナーモードなど、音おとが鳴ならない設定せっていにするのがマナーです。 2. Talk Quietly When Riding the Train 2. 電車でんしゃに乗のるときは静しずかに話はなす Talking loudly with friends can be tempting when you're having fun, but it's important to be mindful of others. 友達ともだちと遊あそんでいるときは、大おおきな声こえで話はなしていても気きづかないかもしれませんが、他たの人ひとを気きづかうことが大切たいせつです。 It's also good manners to avoid listening to loud music. また、音楽おんがくを静しずかに聴きくのもマナーです。 3. Don't Eat When Riding the Train 3. 電車でんしゃで食たべてはいけない Eating on the train should always be avoided unless you're riding a shinkansen or in a green car, as these generally have tables and cup holders for eating and drinking. 新幹線しんかんせんやグリーン車しゃでは、よくテーブルやカップホルダーがありますので食たべても大丈夫だいじょうぶですが、それ以外いがいの電車でんしゃでの食事しょくじはマナー違反いはんです。 4. Be Careful of Priority Seating 4. 優先席ゆうせんせきに注意ちゅうい Trains in Japan have priority seating that is to be used be by senior citizens, people with disabilities, people with injuries, pregnant women, and people with children. 日本にほんの電車でんしゃには、高齢者こうれいしゃ、障害者しょうがいしゃ、傷病しょうびょう者しゃ、妊婦にんぷ、乳幼児にゅうようじがいる人ひとの優先ゆうせん座席ざせきがあります。 Be careful not to sit in them if you don't fit into any of the above categories. 上記じょうきに当あてはまらない人ひとは、座すわらないように気きをつけましょう。 5. Be Careful to Not Take Up Too Much Space 5. スペースを取とり過すぎないように注意ちゅうい Trains in most major Japanese cities are quite packed, especially during rush hour. 日本にほんの主要しゅよう都市としの電車でんしゃは、特とくにラッシュ時じになるとかなり込こみます。 Because of this, it's important to not take up more space than you need, so that other passengers have room as well. 他たの乗客じょうきゃくのスペースも考かんがえて、必要ひつよう以上いじょうのスペースをとらないようにしましょう。 If you're traveling with a backpack, it's considered good manners to move the backpack to your chest. リュックの場合ばあいは、胸むねの方ほうに持もつのがマナーとされています。 This makes it take up less space behind you and prevents it from bumping into people. そうすることで、後うしろのスペースを取とらず、人ひとにぶつかりません。 Also, be sure to use the luggage shelves located above the seats if possible. また、可能かのうであれば座席ざせきの上うえにある荷物棚にもつだなを使つかうと良よいでしょう。 If you can't use them, try to keep your bags as close to yourself as possible. 使つかえない場合ばあいは、できるだけ自分じぶんの近ちかくに荷物にもつを持もちましょう。 Summary of How to Use the Train in Japan 日本にほんの電車でんしゃの乗のり方かたのまとめ Whether you're traveling or planning to reside in Japan, we hope this article has helped you better understand trains in Japan. 日本にほんへ旅行りょこうであれ、住すむ予定よていであれ、この記事きじを読よむことで、日本にほんの電車でんしゃを知しっていただけたら嬉うれしいです。 It can be difficult at first, but after learning the basics you'll have a much easier to traveling around Japan. 最初さいしょは難むずかしいかもしれませんが、基本きほんを覚おぼえれば、日本国内にほんこくないの移動いどうがわかりやすく楽たのしくなるでしょう。 There are some manners to abide by when traveling via train in Japan, but as long as you're careful you should have no trouble! 電車でんしゃを使つかう時ときにはマナーを守まもるのが大切たいせつですが、気きをつければ問題もんだいありません。 Feel free to leave a comment and let us know if you have any questions too! 質問しつもんなどがありましたら、お気軽きがるにコメントしてください。 h2 ruby { font-weight: bold; } .mod-article-caption .caption-heading { font-size: 2.4rem !important; } .caption-text { font-size: 2rem !important; } -

A video of Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go - A Steam Locomotive on the Tadami Line This video, titled "[4K] Tadami Line "Koyo-go 2015" - Journey Through Japan by Train - A Spectacular View of a Steam Locomotive," (【4K】只見線「紅葉号2015」〜日本の鉄道旅 絶景SL」) was released by "beaphoto1." The Tadami Line runs along a ravine from Aizuwakamatsu Station in Fukushima Prefecture (福島県) to Koide Station in Niigata Prefecture (新潟県). It's a popular line among railroad enthusiasts and tourists for its spectacular scenery. The Tadami Line is a local line with a reputation for enjoyable train travel. This video features the SL (steam locomotive) Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go, one of the most popular trains on the line. Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go's Tadami Line - Ranked the #1 Local Line Source :YouTube screenshot The Tadami Line is a 135.2 km long line belonging to East Japan Railways (JR East) and connects Fukushima and Niigata prefectures along the valleys of the Aburuma (破間川) and Tadami Rivers (只見川). The Tadami line runs through one of the most mountainous areas in Japan, so the scenery from the train windows is incredibly beautiful and it's very popular among travel lovers. With fresh greenery in the spring, autumn leaves in the fall, and snowy scenery in the winter, you can enjoy the scenery from the train windows all year round on the Tadami Line. As the train runs along a canyon, there are many railway bridges. Among them, the "No. 1 Tadami River Bridge," which can be seen from 0:03 in the video, is a popular spot for photographing the beautiful SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go. The "No. 1 Tadami River Bridge," which frequently appears in the video, was completed in 1938 as a truss arch bridge. In a survey by The Nikkei on October 11, 2008, the Tadami Line was ranked first in the NIKKEI PLUS1 "Top Ten Railway Lines with Beautiful Fall Foliage." You can see the scenery of the steam locomotive Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go running on the No. 1 Tadami River Bridge at 0:10 and 1:18 in the video. The Allure of the SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go Source :YouTube screenshot The most attractive part of the SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go is that you can enjoy a landscape found only on this local line. The SL Aizu Tadami Koyo-go is a C11 325 type, and has three coaches. It starts from Aizu-Wakamatsu station and ends at Tadami Station. The C11 325 model has been running on many routes since it was manufactured in 1946, and is still in service today as the SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go. When the steam locomotive is not in operation, there is also a trolley train called the Kaisoku Kazakko Tadami Line Koyo-go. This is another train we highly recommend riding if you have the chance. The Tadami Line is famous as an "unexplored line," and what better way to experience it than traveling through it on a steam locomotive? Sightseeing Destinations in Aizu via the SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go Photo:Higashiyama Onsen, Fukushima Prefecture The SL Aizu-Tadami Koyo-go starts at Aizuwakamatsu Station in Fukushima Prefecture. This is the center of Aizu tourism, and is home to the famous Higashiyama Onsen (hot springs). There are many other onsen inns along the route, so we recommend staying at one to relax for an evening. We recommend enjoying Fukushima's famous horse sashimi, Aizu-Jidori chicken, and the mushroom dishes in autumn when staying at one of the local hot spring inns. Summary of the SL Aizu Tadami Koyo-go Photo:Tadami Koyo-go, Fukushima Prefecture We hope that after watching this video you're thinking about enjoying a train ride to see the beautiful autumn foliage of Aizu! Aizu is a tourist destination with different scenery in each of the four seasons. Enjoy a trip to Aizu on the scenic Tadami Line's SL Aizu Tadami Koyo-go, and enjoy Aizu - a great place for taking Instagram photos! -

It's cool seeing the large aircraft land and go down the runway, but how does an airplane land and stop in the first place? After the aircraft lands it glides for a while, then slows down and comes to a stop. When an aircraft moves on the ground under its own power, it is called taxiing. In order for an aircraft to stop successfully, they choose a runway with a headwind or a system of reverse thrusters that directly thrust upward at an angle. So many different things go into the safe landing of an airplane. -

Introducing "Lady" "C571 SL Yamaguchi-go - Lady's return!- 2019 Oct 19-20(C571 SLやまぐち号 【貴婦人完全復活!】 2019.10.19-20)" is a 4K video that captures the steam train that runs between Shin-Yamaguchi Station and Tsuwano (Yamaguchi Prefecture) on the JR West Yamaguchi Line. In 2019, SL Yamaguchi-go celebrated its 40th anniversary since its return. A commemorative event held at the relevant stations and in the train, attracted many fans. The old-fashioned steam train chugging along with smoke coming out of its stack, its whistle, and the steam shooting out the side is spectacular to watch. Enjoy the video of the retro-chic locomotive train. About the Steam Locomotive, SL Yamaguchi-go Photo:The SL Yamaguchi-go C571 The steam train C571 was withdrawn from mainline service in 1965, but made a comeback in 1979 owing to the passionate requests from local enthusiasts and steam locomotive fans. As of November 2019, it runs between Shin-Yamaguchi and Tsuwano that takes about 2 hours and only runs on Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. This elegant machine is popularly known as "Lady". Steam Locomotives are powered by a steam engine: The water contained in a boiler turns into steam when heated, and creates high pressure. Because of this, steam locomotives puff black smoke and big gray clouds of steam when they depart (seen in the video from 1:21). The video shows the SL Yamaguchi-go running through the autumn landscapes in the area stretching between Yamaguchi city and Tsuwano. Cosmos flowers swaying in the wind along the track present an astonishing coincidence of mixed colors, making a fine contrast with the black body of the steam train (from 6:25). You can take beautiful pictures of the SL Yamaguchi-go when it crosses Tsuwano Bridge, or passes by Honmonmae Crossing, Nakaza Crossing, or Nayoshi District. The impressive sight of the train making a turn on the railway turntable also offers a perfect photo opportunity. The SL Yamaguchi-go typically pulls 5 coaches, but occasionally gets double-headed with another steam locomotive, D51200 (Degoichi) -
