Trying the Bumpy but Scenic Train Journey in Kagoshima Japan
I’m taking the limited express, Ibusuki no tamatebako, from Kagoshima-chuo to Ibusuki. It’s known at the bumpy but scenic train that winds along the Satsuma Peninsula.

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. 😊
0:38 I never knew that one of my favourite fruits originated from Japan 😲
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…..
