@japansolotravel2022

This is a video from winter 2023.
A journey aboard the JR Iida Line, Japan’s most secluded railway line.
This time, we will be making several stops between Okaya Station and Komagane Station in Nagano Prefecture to show you what the towns are like.

  1. Thank you so much for making this video. This is my only way to discover you're country. Have a blessed day and week. Greetings from the Netherlands (Holland)

  2. I like the retro style of many buildings but overall, the places you visited are a bit depressing, because they seem so deserted and I am afraid, that like in many places in Japan, there are not many young people living there. Also, I normally really like your videos, but this one was a bit strange. Several times during the video, like at 16:54 there is a strange sound, and then you show a picture of a young woman and the name of your channel. And all together, this video seemed to be quite random and badly cut to me. Sorry, I dont want to offend you and I respect your hard work. I just want to be honest.

  3. thank you for taking us with you on your trip. it looks desolate in the light but im sure its a lively town at night with all the bars and entertainment establishments. i do hope they are able to keep the retro vibes and more people come and live there despite the unique situation of the town's economy.
