[Abandoned railway line] Walking 81.5km from Furano to Shintoku on the Nemuro Main Line 4/6
We will visit the remains of a disaster that caused floods and landslides due to typhoons, leading to the abandonment of railway lines.
0:00 Ochiai Station Site
0:33 The left side is the old line that was closed in 1966. The right side is the line that was closed due to a disaster.
1:10 Ochiai Tunnel. I’m going to go as far as I can from here.
8:15 The soil from the landslide was soft and we couldn’t go any further.
9:14 This river overflowed due to the typhoon.

I think it's most eerie to see places that are recently abandoned. Feels like post-apocalypse
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Now at least the level of damage is visible. Unfortunately, nature can be destructive, and you can't be prepared for everything.
