Trying the Bumpy but Scenic Train Journey in Kagoshima Japan

Really enjoyed this video. Looks a wonderful train journey . Thank you

The shaky train reminds me of the New York City subway trains! 😮😮

One of the express lines from Shin-Hakodate to Sapporo goes by the water, absolutely lovely view there too. Maybe one day you can ride that line and talk about it. One of the nicest train rides I ever took in Japan.

Thank you to show it to us. When i come next year to Japan, i will ride this train ,i hope. ❤ I like the rural Japan. Kind Regards from Germany.

The bumpiness is part of the charm.

That was so fun! Thanks❤

This brings back many great memories - Travelled by local train to Ibusuki in 2019 to visit the hot sand spa in the town. Really nice trip, lovely uncrowded vibe to area and hot sand spa is fabulous

How nostalgic! I boarded the same train back in November 2023 and the weather was exactly like the one in your video. It was bumpy but the view totally made up for it and I also got a counter seat. I wonder if Ibusuki is always so quiet because there weren't much people around even at the sand bath place. Thank you for sharing as always and I hope I can go back to Kyushu soon. Have you tried taking Aso Boy? Highly recommend you to try it!

The pork and egg sandwich on the train looks so yummy. The egg and pork are thicker than the bread😂

Great trip. Classic train, bumpy rail, but can run at high speed, this train driver feels like Rally Driver for sure.

I can just imagine the death grip he had on his sandwiches when the train was shaking madly.

The ontamaran don looked so succulent. Loved how the okura (okra in US) looked. Curious if that was steamed or stir fried?
The sea looked as bumpy and rough as the train ride. Maybe the rough winds also added to the shaky ride. All in all ty SJT for sharing. I love a good cup of coffee when i ride the train and enjoy the views. ❤️

We went on that train in 2023 - great experience and then ibusuki hot sand bath afterward 😊

I don’t think you mentioned but the train also gives off a jet of steam at the start of the journey- even though it’s not a steam train!

Nice, some people pay a lot for being shacked at an fairground 😅. I think, this is fun.
I will stay with some friends for a week in Kagoshima next year. Hotel and flights are booked allready. This train will go on the possible to do list.
Thank you for the hint!
Greetings from Germany!

Beautiful sea view i enjoyed it

The bumpy yet scenic train journey in Kagoshima must have been quite an adventure! 🚂🇯🇵

Old train and an old town!!

Thank you for this video. I like trains a lot, but I have been in Kyushu last year (and absolutely love it), and now there are so many other destinations in Japan that I want to visit. Next March, we will visit Tohoku, and after that, I have ideas for so many other destinations in Japan, where we havent been too.

This video was "!!" Thank you always for your hard work.

Onboard catering?....................will there be curry?.................I suspect not on this train, sandwich is very well presented, looks nice.

The train seems to very similar to our UK 2 car sprinter trains, but older.

The bumping around reminds me of British trains. Love your video's. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

!!

This is how our current trains are in NJ. We have no fast smooth ones, except maybe Amtrak's Acela.

❤❤

i really enjoy yours ferry and train videos, watching you channel helped me a lot during covid-19
thanks for post your experiences!!!! 💜🤞

I often used to arrive in Hiroshima station in a bullet train from the north and then take a local train inland to Miyoshi, getting on that old rickety train was like stepping back in time 100 years !
On one occasion I arrived in Hiroshima early evening and by the time I got on to the local train to Miyoshi it was dark. About halfway through the journey the train came to a sudden stop in the middle of nowhere, 20 mins later it moved backwards about 10 meters, stopped and then moved forwards again. This was all accompanied by long announcements in Japanese that I didn't understand....
A fellow passenger was kind enough to translate these announcements for me. Apparently the train had hit a deer and it had become trapped underneath the train and the driver, the conductor and several passengers were juggling the train backward and forwards in an effort to release it! Eventually they were successful and we proceeded on our way.

A bumpy ride in Japan is an experience, but it is the norm elsewhere in the world ! Thanks for the video

Nice trip

❤

The bumpy ride reminded me of the Sound Transit commuter train between Tacoma and Seattle.

👍👍👍👍❤

Thanks for the video. Very nice.

Thanks again! I want to to back to Kagoshima.

I hear Australian accents!! We love exploring so the Japanese tourism board has done a lot of advertising here. My best friend is a travel agent. She said that a lot of the packages include more unique options for Aussie travellers. We are also dedicated train commuters so we love riding the rails in other countries.oh’ we also love to hit the slopes. So a lot of snowboarders will escape the hot summer to the mountains to take on the diamond runs so you’ll be hearing a lot of Aussie accents for the next 4 to 5 months

こんにちわハク。ユウについてのメッセージを残しておきました。ユウの冒険で、彼は孤独で大変な時期を過ごしているので、新しい家に引っ越してきたので友達を頼ってもいいでしょう。前回のビデオでそれを見ただろうか？
騒がしくでこぼこした乗り物では、スムーズな新幹線の乗車が待ち遠しくなります。
いつもご覧いただきありがとうございます

Such lovely scenery and the food looked nice.
Are the chirping sounds in the town the foot crossings for roads or something else?

Isn’t there an app that says when the train is supposed to arrive?

Nice vibe, not many people, not a single graffiti anywhere or trash on the streets. Love it.

Very unusual seating on the train but I thought it was cute and cheerful with all of the colors. 😊

Thank you Solo San. You take the bumps so we don't have to. 😊

I like rural Japan which makes you feel calm and relaxed. The food served in the local restaurant, although simple, is delicious. Love your trip report of Ibusuki train ride.

Hmm, I don't think this journey is for me. The mindless, incessant, prattle of the commentary over the loudspeaker would drive me crazy. Pity, the scenery and general vibe looks great, but the endless, mindless commentary???

Poor Solo getting stuck with the lousy seat!! Not fair!😂

poor little dragonfly.....
