The 0 Series Shinkansen Returns as the World’s Slowest Bullet Train/Railway Hobby Train! The video "[Railway Hobby Train] Debut｜Ehime Newspaper," (「鉄道ホビートレイン」デビュー・愛媛新聞), released by "ehimenp," is about the 0 series Shinkansen (The world’s slowest bullet train) running on the JR Shikoku Yodo Line, which stops at Uwajima station and Chikanaga station. This line runs along the Shimanto River. The Shinkansen is Japan's high-speed railway, celebrating its 50th anniversary. The first Shinkansen train to celebrate this anniversary is the 0 series, a car with a cute round nose that everyone has seen at one time or another. The 0 series Shinkansen can be seen at 1:10 in the video. Although the 0 series Shinkansen was retired in 2008, a diesel train car was converted to a 0 series Shinkansen-style train in 2014 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Yodo Line, which runs from Kochi Prefecture to Ehime Prefecture in the Shikoku region. That happens to be the "Railway Hobby Train" introduced in the video. The nicknames of the 0 series shinkansen are Hikari and Kodama. At the time, it attracted a lot of attention in Japan and around the world as a high-speed train that ran at the world's highest speed of 210km/h. Of course, the Railway Hobby Train is a sightseeing train, and since it is a slow-moving diesel train, it cannot achieve such high speeds, but you can enjoy a scenic tour of Shikoku while being gently rocked by the lovely dumpling-nosed cars of the nostalgic 0 series Shinkansen, which look just like the original. The cute Railway Hobby Train can be seen at 0:55 in the video. The Charm of the 0 Series Shinkansen Photo：Railway Hobby Train The Railway Hobby Train is a set of three cars that run on the Yodo Line. In addition to the 0 series Shinkansen train introduced in the video, there is the Shiman Trolley, which can be seen from 6:04 and the Kaiyodo Hobby Train, which can be seen at 6:09. Together with these trains, the three brothers of the Yodo Line are the centerpiece of the regional development. In other words, when we talk about railway hobby trains, we're referring to these three types of trains. Among them, the 0 series hobby train shown in the video is the most popular! Children and Adults Alike Are Excited! the Secrets of the Railway Hobby Train! Source :YouTube screenshot As you can see from 3:06 in the video, the Series 0 Shinkansen Railway Hobby Train has a model display area inside the train, where the very popular Plarail issue is on display, making it a true dream train for train enthusiasts and children. The Series 0 Shinkansen Hobby Train is based on the Kiha 32 series train, and a fully colored version of the popular N gauge product called "Micro Ace" is also available. The 0 series Shinkansen was also featured in the popular children's anime "Shinkansen Transforming Robot Shinkarion," so the 0 series Shinkansen is not only for old fans, but a dream come true for children as well. We recommend checking the operation status of the train on the official JR Shikoku website in advance, as it is expected to be very crowded on the days when the train is running. Summary of the Railway Hobby Train Source :YouTube screenshot There is a museum called Shikoku Railway Cultural Center in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture. Here, there are 0 series train cars, that actually were once active as shinkansen, on display. In other words, Shikoku is a holy land for railway enthusiasts. The Railway Hobby Train also has a photo corner, but for those who want to take photos of the cute train cars traveling through the magnificent nature of Shikoku, the best place to do so is near the railway bridge on the Yodo Line over the Shimanto river. Don't forget to check the timetable in advance, as Shikoku is often hit by typhoons and operations are cancelled when the weather is bad. Also, the three hobby train brothers are limited to one run per day! Don't miss your chance! 【Tripadvisor】Railway Hobby Train https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g608510-d10758981-Reviews-Tetsudo_Hobby_Train_Yodo_Line_JR_Shikoku-Uwajima_Ehime_Prefecture_Shikoku.html

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. ICカードは、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時間じかんをなくして、時間じかんの節約せつやくになりますので、ぜひ使つかってみてください。 You can also get the ¥500 deposit back if you return the IC card when you no longer need it (there will likely be a small fee deducted when returning the card). また、ICカードが不要ふようになったら返却へんきゃくすれば、500円ごひゃくえんのデポジットを返かえしてもらえます（返却へんきゃくの時ときにちょっとした手数料てすうりょうがかかることがあります）。 The Different Types of IC Cards Used in Japan 日本にほんで使つかわれているICカードの種類しゅるい Photo：suica（写真しゃしん：suica） There are many different IC cards used across Japan. 日本全国にっぽんぜんこくで使つかわれているICカードは様々さまざまな種類しゅるいがあります。 Unfortunately, they cannot be used for continuous travel between different regions. しかし、残念ざんねんながら、各かくエリア間かんをまたがってご利用りよういただくことはできません。 Here is a list of the different IC cards and where the areas they can be purchased. ここでは、ICカードの種類しゅるいと買かえる地域ちいきを紹介しょうかいします。 IC cards can be used in different areas in Japan as well, although some may have limited uses. また、ICカードは他たの地域ちいきでも使つかえますが、一部いちぶの機能きのうが使つかえないことがあります。 Kitaca - JR Hokkaido Kitaca - JR北海道ほっかいどう Suica - JR East (Tokyo, Niigata, Sendai) Suica - JR東日本ひがしにほん（東京とうきょう、新潟にいがた、仙台せんだい） PASMO - Tokyo metropolitan area PASMO - 東京とうきょう manaca - Nagoya, Shizuoka manaca - 名古屋なごや、静岡しずおか TOICA - JR Central TOICA - JR東海とうかい ICOCA - JR West (Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka, Okayama) ICOCA - JR西日本にしにほん（広島ひろしま、京都きょうと、大阪おおさか、岡山おかやま） PiTaPa - Kansai (Kyoto, Osaka) PiTaPa - 関西かんさい（京都きょうと、大阪おおさか） SUGOCA - JR Kyushu (Fukuoka) SUGOCA - JR九州きゅうしゅう（福岡ふくおか） nimoca - Fukuoka, Oita, Kumamoto, Saga, Miyazaki, Hakodate nimoca - 福岡ふくおか、大分おおいた、熊本くまもと、佐賀さが、宮崎みやざき、函館はこだて Hayakaken - Fukuoka subway system Hayakaken - 福岡市ふくおかし地下鉄ちかてつ Another thing of note is that IC cards can be used for shopping at many places as well. ICカードのもう1つひとつのポイントは、多おおくの場所ばしょで買かい物ものする際さいにも使つかえるということです。 This is nice to avoid carrying a lot of change. 小銭こぜにが溜たまらないので便利べんりです。 Also, if you're looking to take a quick break, IC cards can be used at many vending machines to purchase a drink! また、ちょっとした休憩きゅうけいのときに、自動販売機じどうはんばいきでもICカードで飲のみ物ものが買かえるので便利べんりです。 Types of Trains in Japan 日本にほんの列車れっしゃの種類しゅるい Photo：A rapid train（写真しゃしん：快速電車かいそくでんしゃ） There are five main types of trains in Japan, differing by number of stops and other factors. 日本にほんには、停車ていしゃする駅えきの数かずなどの違ちがいによって、主おもに5種類ごしゅるいの列車れっしゃがあります。 Remembering the different types can help you know which train to board. 列車れっしゃの種類しゅるいを覚おぼえたらどの電車でんしゃに乗のればいいのかが分わかりやすくなります。 Local: 普通ふつう Local trains are the slowest type of train and generally stop at every station on the line. 普通列車ふつうれっしゃは最もっとも遅おそい種類しゅるいの列車れっしゃで、一般的いっぱんてきには、各駅かくえきに停車ていしゃします。 Rapid: 快速かいそく Rapid trains generally cost the same as local trains but are faster as they stop only at major stations. 快速列車かいそくれっしゃは一般いっぱん的てきに普通列車ふつうれっしゃと同おなじ料金りょうきんですが、主要しゅような駅えきだけに停車ていしゃしますので、普通列車ふつうれっしゃより速はやいです。 Express: 急行きゅうこう Express trains generally stop at fewer stations and are faster than rapid trains. 急行列車きゅうこうれっしゃは、一般的いっぱんてきに停車ていしゃする駅えきが少すくなくて、快速列車かいそくれっしゃより速はやいのが特徴とくちょうです。 Limited Express: 特急列車とっきゅうれっしゃ Limited express trains are the fastest trains in Japan besides shinkansen, and an additional fee will be charged when using riding them. 特急列車とっきゅうれっしゃは、新幹線しんかんせん以外いがいで日本にほんの最もっとも速はやい列車れっしゃで、乗のる場合ばあいは別べつの料金りょうきんがかかります。 Shinkansen: 新幹線しんかんせん Shinkansen, or bullet trains, are the fastest trains in Japan and connect Japan's major cities. 新幹線しんかんせんは、日本にほんの最もっとも速はやい列車れっしゃで、日本にほんの主要しゅよう都市としを繋つないでいます。 Train Ticket Prices in Japan 日本にほんの乗車券じょうしゃけんの料金りょうきん When traveling to a nearby location, most train tickets will start at around 160 yen (in Tokyo) and slowly increase as distance increases. 近ちかいところに行いく場合ばあい、ほとんどの乗車券じょうしゃけんは（東京とうきょうでは）160ひゃくろくじゅう円えんぐらいから買かえて、距離きょりが長ながくなるにつれて高たかくなります。 Keep in mind that train ticket prices also change depending on the type of train you ride on. 乗車券じょうしゃけんの料金りょうきんは、列車れっしゃの種類しゅるいによっても変かわるのでご注意ちゅういしてください。 In general, local trains are the cheapest, while shinkansen are the most expensive. 一般的いっぱんてきに、普通列車ふつうれっしゃは最もっとも安やすい列車れっしゃで、新幹線しんかんせんは最もっとも高たかい列車れっしゃです。 The Japan Rail Pass & Green Tickets ジャパンレールパスとグリーン券けん Photo：Japan Rail Pass（写真しゃしん：ジャパンレールパスじゃぱんれーるぱす） The Japan Rail Pass is a special type of train ticket that can be purchased ONLY by foreign tourists that enter Japan as a temporary visitor, for the purpose of sightseeing. ジャパンレールパスは、日本にほんに一時いちじ的てきに入国にゅうこくする「観光かんこう目的もくてきの外国人観光客がいこくじんかんこうきゃく」しか買かえない特別とくべつな乗車じょうしゃ券けんです。 There are two types of Japan Rail Pass, "Green" and "Standard," and the cost of each varies depending on the period of use. ジャパンレールパスには、「グリーン」と「普通ふつう」の2つふたつ>の種類しゅるいがあって、それぞれ使用しよう期間きかんによって金額きんがくが変かわります。 ・7-day Passes 7日間なのかかん有効ゆうこうパス Pricing: 料金りょうきん： Green グリーン Adults - 44,810 YEN 大人おとな　44,810よんまんよんせんはっぴゃくじゅう円えん Children - 22,400 YEN 子供こども　22,400にまんにせんよんひゃく円えん Standard 普通ふつう Adults - 29,650 YEN 大人おとな　29,650にまんきゅうせんろっぴゃく円えん Children - 14,820 YEN 子供こども　14,820いちまんよんせんはっぴゃくにじゅう円えん ・14-day Passes 14日間じゅうよっかかん有効ゆうこうパス Pricing: 料金りょうきん： Green グリーン Adults - 64,120 YEN 大人おとな　64,120ろくまんよんせんひゃくにじゅう円えん Children - 32,060 YEN 子供こども　32,060さんまんにせんろくじゅう円えん Standard 普通ふつう Adults - 47,250 YEN 大人おとな　47,250よんまんななせんにひゃくごじゅう円えん Children - 23,260 YEN 子供こども　23,260にまんさんぜんにひゃくろくじゅう円えん ・21-day Passes 21日間にじゅういちにちかん有効ゆうこうパス Pricing: 料金りょうきん： Green グリーン Adults - 83,390 YEN 大人おとな　83,390はちまんさんぜんさんびゃくきゅうじゅう円えん Children - 41,690 YEN 子供こども　41,690よんまんせんろっぴゃくきゅうじゅう円えん Standard 普通ふつう Adults - 60,450 YEN 大人おとな　60,450ろくまんよんひゃくごじゅう円えん Children - 30,220 YEN 子供こども　30,220さんまんにひゃくにじゅう円えん ※Prices up to date as of 10/17/2022 ※2022にせんにじゅうに年ねん10月じゅうがつ17日じゅうしちにち現在げんざいの料金りょうきんです。 Green cars are train cars with first class seating, allowing you to relax when traveling. グリーン車しゃは一いち等席とうせきがある車両しゃりょうで、旅行りょこうの時ときに使つかうとくつろぐことができます。 One thing to note is that green car tickets can be purchased even without a Japan rail pass 1つひとつ注意ちゅういしたいのは、グリーン車しゃのグリーン券けんはジャパンレールパスがなくても買かえるということです。 Train Manners in Japan 日本にほんの電車でんしゃのマナー Photo：A businessman talking on the phone while riding the train（写真しゃしん：電車内でんしゃないで通話つうわをするビジネスマン） We mentioned that Japan is known for its punctual trains, but Japanese people are also known for their good manners when riding trains. 日本にほんの電車でんしゃが時間じかんに正確せいかくであることをお伝つたえしましたが、電車でんしゃに乗のるときの日本人にっぽんじんのマナーが良よいことも知しられています。 Here, we'll list some things to keep in mind when riding a train in Japan, so you don't cause other trouble for other passengers. ここでは、日本にほんの電車でんしゃに乗のるときに、他たの乗客じょうきゃくに迷惑めいわくをかけないように気きをつけたいことを紹介しょうかいします。 1. 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; }

Introduction of sightseeing video of “Kyoto Railway Museum” in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture This video, titled "Things to Do: Kyoto Railway Museum [4K]," is an introduction to the Kyoto Railway Museum located in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture in Japan's Kansai region. It is produced by Discover Kyoto. You can feel the history and tradition of Japanese railways at the Kyoto Railway Museum. It houses valuable train cars and is also one of the biggest railway museums in Japan. With beautiful 4K images, you can watch popular train cars from both the past and present. Experience the excitement you once felt as a child when you first saw a train, with this video. Various Experiences at the Kyoto Railway Museum Source :YouTube screenshot The main attraction of the museum is that you can experience riding a train car that is led by a real steam locomotive, the SL Steam. There are limited opportunities to ride a steam locomotive in Japan, so it'll definitely be an experience to remember. You can see the steam locomotives at the start of the video. After a day's work, the cinders are removed, and new coals and water are loaded. This process is referred to as feeding water to the boiler. Watching the steam locomotive dynamically change direction is a sight to behold. You can see your favorite cars up close and personal as they're displayed in the vehicle factory. You can train yourself as a train driver with the driving simulator in the new building which was reopened in 2018 (1:27) You can try operating a bullet train, too! In addition, there is a corner where visitors can try out the ATS/ATC experience, a train safety system that uses a camera mounted on a model train, a CTC display, a centralized vehicle management system, and there's also a track cycle experience as well. The railway diorama quite elaborate; diorama shows are performed by specialized operators with pictures, lights, and announcements. It is just like you are watching a live feed. You can actually purchase a train ticket and put it through a transparent automatic ticket gate, and learn about the structure of the gate. It's a Great Place for Kids! Source :YouTube screenshot The museum is well suited for kids as well. They can enjoy a spacious playground and a large W7 series model; they can spend the whole day there without getting bored. The video shows the kids’ park around 1:52. It's also unique in that there are a number of facilities where you can actually touch and learn about how railways work, such as, through the reproduction of a station. You can see reproductions of stations from the start of Showa Era (circa 1926) to the present. There also are sections where you can learn about the structure of a coupler, signals, blocks, and coordinating points. The Sky Terrace is on the third floor; you can see trains and bullet trains from the rooftop. You can take pictures of JR trains with cherry blossoms in the spring that go through Umekoji Park (2:00). The Facilities and Train Car Displays Source :YouTube screenshot There are various facilities at the museum. The Library, Special Exhibition Room, Life and the Railway, the Promenade, Twilight Plaza, Steam Locomotive No. 2 Service Shed, Roundhouse Platform, The Former Nijo Station House, Job Station, History Station, and Future Station are not to be missed. Among the fifty-three displayed train cars, there is the SL Steam, Bullet train, Sleeper Express Train, Bonnet-type Express Train (one of the National Railway’s major trains), Heavy Capacity Flatcars, Container Express trains, Diesel locomotives, and Diesel Cars. Access to the Museum The Kyoto Railway Museum is easily accessible from Umekoji-Kyotonishi Station which was opened in March 2019. There is no parking lot available, so you should park your car at nearby metered-parking. If you ride a bus to the museum, you can buy a one-day ticket with 10% off. You can also get a great deal if you buy a ticket for Kyoto Railway Museum and Kyoto Aquarium as a set. An advance ticket is very convenient as you can avoid waiting in a line. Restaurants at the Museum There is a restaurant in the museum where you can have lunch looking out big windows at bullet trains. A boxed lunch and kids’ lunch are also available in the dining car of a blue train, which is known as a moving hotel.

An Eye-Catching Introduction to Japan This approximately 4-minute video, focusing on modern-day Japan as seen by foreign tourists and travelers, boasts a level of quality that has attracted major interest not only in Japan but in various countries throughout the world. This video's footage goes above and beyond other Japan PR videos and keeps viewers glued to the screen. By the video's end, you'll most likely feel an indescribable surge of emotions, such as those experienced after viewing a magnificent movie of epic proportions! Highlights of the Japanese Introduction Video, "in Japan" This video, "In Japan," taken in 2015 by German filmmaker/creator Vincent Urban, is a nearly 4-minute collection of footage of his 3-week journey in Japan to locations including Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima. In taking a look at images of landscapes and scenery natural and commonplace to Japanese people which are projected from a foreigner’s perspective, even we as Japanese natives can perceive such images as unknown, brand new discoveries and never-before-seen sights and scenes, and this video therefore allows us to learn about the appeal and charm of Japan in a brand new light. Viewers of this video can also agree that its high quality BGM and camera work is yet another reason for its high acclaim both in and out of Japan. This video condenses a wide variety of discoveries in Japan ranging from regularly seen daily scenery and landscapes to famous tourist spots. Examples of such sights include Asakusa Temple in the Shitamachi area of Tokyo, festivals, Kendo (Japanese martial art with bamboo swords), Buddhist temples, Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine as well as convenience stores, Tokyo Tower, street performances, Tokyo Skytree, sumo wrestlers, clubs and idols, in addition to shinkansen (bullet trains), natural landscapes, the Atomic Bomb Domes in Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Mt. Fuji and metropolitan night scenes. Japan as Seen Through Cultural Changes Photo：Sumo Learning about shifts in modern Japanese culture gives us deeper insights into the allure and attraction of Japan as a nation in the present day. Japan of yore once had superb classic culture primarily consisting of artistic traditional crafts, and as you can see in the video, festivals and martial arts passed down to Japan from ancient times have been regarded as symbolizing the very culture of "Nihon no Wa," or "The Spirit of Japan." It is also well-known that Japan is the birthplace of kendo and sumo wrestling which are now sports famous all the world over. In addition, present-day Japan is going through transitions in which its forms of entertainment, such as manga (Japanese comics/cartoons) and anime (Japanese animation), formerly considered to be types of sub-culture, have been disseminated throughout the globe to be cherished by multitudes of people as pop culture. This signifies shifts in the image of "Japan" in the eyes of foreigners abroad from that of a land of ninja and samurai to an anime & manga nation. The Akihabara area, now the "Mecca" of anime and manga which serves as the center of Japanese contemporary culture, has become a well-known tourist location which draws huge numbers of sightseers visiting Japan, and it's also popular as a town for shopping. Japan as Seen Through Tourist Meccas & Architectural Buildings Photo：Sensoji Temple and women If you're watching this video you probably know that Japan, due to its also being famous as a country abound with history and nature, sees immense numbers of foreigners who visit for sightseeing on a daily basis. Locations in Japan shown in the video, such as Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo and the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima, are highly recommended tourist spots in Japan which are renowned even on a global scale. The existence of temples and shrines in Japan, whose number is too great to mention here, attracts hosts of foreign sightseers day by day, and this is proof of how Japan enjoys deep-rooted popularity as a tourist destination amongst abroad residents all over the world. Japan as Seen Through Nature ©Izu City Modifying The richness and abundance of nature, amongst other aspects, is definitely a thing to behold here in Japan. Japan's largest mountain, Mt. Fuji, and its bamboo forest, also featured in the video, are without a doubt natural tourist spots that represent the glory of Japan. The view from Mt. Fuji's summit, in particular, is easily summed up by the words "magnificent scenery," and once you experience climbing this mountain on your own, you'll be able to appreciate the thrill and excitement of this spectacle all the more.
