Enjoy Shimonoseki and Kokura by taking the Hikari Shinkansen, which stops too many stations!

Albatross enjoy shimo SEI and kakura by taking the Hikari shinen which stops too many stations I am at hirosima station today I will take the hakari 591 which has too many stops good morning I’m Albatross previously I introduced the hakari 500 Bound for Tokyo as a hakari with too many stops but this time the hakari 591 is Bound for Hakata this time I will use these Paper Tickets let’s go through the shinson ticket gate welcome to the sh the super Express keep 5 99 1 departing at 8:00 valy for haata is arriving at PR 12 please stay behind the yellow line on the platform this train has 16 cars car one is at the front of the train and car 16 is at the rear Cars 8 9 and 10 are the green cars for passengers holding green car seat reservations Cars 1 through 6 15 and 16 are for passengers without seat reservations please refrain from smoking in the train including areas at either end of the cars this train will be stopping at every station before arriving at Shin yuchi after leaving Shin yuchi this train will be stop at shin shimi and hura before arriving atak terminal thank you the hakari 591 is arriving at hirosima station the stations where this train will stop were announced earlier but the only station it passes through between Hiroshima station and the Hakata terminal as Assa station I think only few people notice Assa station it is located between Shin Yamaguchi station and shin shimi station it is not used by many people but it is connected to a conventional line the hakari 591 started from Shing Osaka but it only passes through Shing onii and Assa stations it stops at almost every station the hakari 591 has never been overtaken by a following train since it departed from Shing Osaka but it will be overtaken here at hirosima station by the Sakura 541 Bound for kagoshima chuo since only few hakari run on the sanos shinson the Sakura act as the hakari on the sanos shinson the reserved seats on the Sakura and mizuo of the kushu shinson are 2 plus two seats if you want to reserve a seat in the sanos shinson area I recommend using the kushu shinson or the sanos shinson Kodama both are comfortable with two plus two seats [Music] along with the departure Melody of the Galaxy Express tri9 the Sakura 541 which came later departs from Hiroshima station leaving the hakari 591 one which arrived [Applause] first here in car number 14 there are reserved seats if it’s almost empty the features of the hakari 591 are it stops almost all stations so it is almost Kodama it is overtaken only once so it is almost Naomi the hakari 591 gets to Hakata only about 10 minutes later than the Sakura 541 earlier said that the Sakura is recommended if someone uses a reserved seat on the Sano shinen oh J today I’m going to see the Jr Freight Festival in shimi commemorating the 150th anniversary of freight Transportation the Sakura doesn’t stop at Shing shimi why didn’t you take the Sakura 541 to kakura station and then take a local train back to shiman aiki you have to take a local train from Shin shaniki Station to shaniki Station anyway right the travel time is the same but if I turn back from kokura the fair will be more expensive what are you talking about you are always wasting the transportation expenses for no reason you just want to ride the Hikari 591 right yes you are right leave Jay alone and let’s continue afterward the Chime sounds and the announcement is played if you take the Naomi from the taido to the Sano shinson lines or vice versa you would hear thank you for using the shinson because the train runs on both Jr toai and Jr West lines however since this hakari runs only on the sanos shinson thank you for using Jr West will be heard soon the chime will sound and the announcement will be made please listen carefully [Music] [Applause] if I took the Sakura 541 which departed earlier than us I would have heard a chime Melody composed by minoru mukaya and thank you for using the shinson this is because the train runs on the J West Japan and Jr qo lines we will soon pass through Assa station it’s just a [Music] [Music] [Music] moment e [Music] we will be stopping station the the thank you [Music] I have arrived at Shing shami station Shing shimi station opened in 1901 as Ichi no Mia station on the Sano Railway after being nationalized it became a Jr West station after that it was renamed nagato Ichi no Mia station but in 1975 with the opening of the Sor shinson it was renamed Shen shimi station this time I introduced the hakari 591 how did you like it I’m at Shing shimi station today I’m going to see the Jr Freight Festival in shimi good morning I’m Albatross please see the previous video for the journey from Hiroshima to Shin shiman AI let’s enter the ticket gate [Music] since the shinson line is far from the conventional line they are connected by a moving walkway I have seen this place before you saw here when you rode the sightseeing train called moru moru No Hani oh Jay you are right look there’s a boarding guide for Maru Maru noesi for the sightseeing train Maru Maru no hanashi please watch one of our [Music] [Music] videos fore [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] in Hiroshima this kind of yellow trains are no longer running [Music] ATT please the next stop is passing to the line please change thank we have just passed Maru Maru no Hannah she we talked earlier we’re here [Music] we are passing by the hatabu switchyard all freight trains stop here to change electric locomotives this is because the quu side uses alternating current and the honu side uses direct current we’re here we are approaching shimi station this station is a Border Station between Jr West and jrq and the station is managed by Jr West the Sano Main Line continues to the next station Moji but it is strange that shimi station is The Border Station from shimi station I take a bus to the venue of the Jr Freight Festival in shimi I take a Sanden kotu bus Sanden kotu was originally a company called XO electric Tramway which used to operate street cars in shimi City the street cars are no longer running Sanel electric Tramway is different from the Sanel electric Railway that runs around hedi right that’s right you know well we’re here this is the Jr freight shimi office the venue for the Jr Freight Festival in shimi after passing under the San Main Line you will see the entrance the gate will open at 10:00 a.m. but it’s still early you can see the sign for the event a lot of people are already lined up this event seems to be very popular as it allows visitors to enter the Jr Freight premises which is usually not possible there are a lot of people but if it seems that we can enter smoothly after 10:00 when I was waiting for the opening a freight train was just running on the Sano main line I feel excited the visitors have started to enter the premises the J cuu Brass Band are playing a famous tune due to various reasons a different tune is being played actually the theme song of the Railway animation was being played Jay don’t say anything [Music] okay you only listen to the ending of the music the official name here seems to be shimaki station Freight handling office shimi sales office [Music] [Music] [Music] as scheduled the opening event was held using a truck as a stage is a good idea the mayor of shimi made a [Music] speech and so did a director of Jr Freight at the Jr Freight booth there was a railway diarama the Kyoto Railway Museum has an even bigger and more Splendid one stop comparing here to the museum this one is pretty good [Music] too what is mini mamaro momotaro is the nickname for the echo Fox strot 2 0 electric locomotive it’s a miniature there is an actual one here so let’s see it later or do you want to ride this who wants to ride this toy it’s under repair anyway this is an echo Fox strot 210 type electric locomotive it is sometimes used as an auxiliary locomotive in sonachi what is senoh Hai senoh AI is a steep slope of 22.6 per mil between Seno station and Hai Hong Matsu station in Hiroshima what is 22.6 perm if you travel 1 kilm you will be 22.6 M higher an auxiliary locomotive is a locomotive that is connected to the front or back of a train on a steep slope that cannot be climbed by a single locomotive this is an echo Hotel 500 type electric locomotive nicknamed canaro it is a locomotive as strong as motaro now that I’ve seen everything let’s take the shuttle bus back to shimi station I just came back to shimasaki station after seeing the Jr Freight Festival in shimasaki hi I’m Albatross now I will go to kokura through cam tunnel let’s enter the ticket [Music] gate an echo Fox strot 210 type electric locomotive is standing by it’s the momotaro locomotive what [Music] [Music] [Music] the 415 series train has arrived since it is an ACDC train it can run in both cuu and hu let’s ride the train we will now pass through the camman tunnel let me explain about it in advance the Sano Main Line enters hikos Shima Island after leaving shimasaki station hikos Shima island is almost connected to hu Island after entering hikima Island the selain line curves to the left and enters the camman tunnel isn’t this area narrower yes but it’s far from shimi station so the line took this route since the tunnels of the national highway and shinson as well as the expressway Bridge are not directly related to shimi station they are located around the homo straight which is much narrower it is where Jay just pointed the southbound camman tunnel for the railway opened in 1942 and the Northbound one in 1944 during the war the seon faery and the camp Fair were not functioning due to Torpedoes and sea mines but the conman tunnel contributed greatly to the logistics of Japan during the [Music] war the track curves to the left and finally enters the camman tunnel you can see the entrance [Music] we’re here it took about 3 minutes to pass through the camon tunnel for we are arriving at Moji station in 1942 with the opening of the camman tunnel the station name was changed from di station to Moji station at the same time the station building was moved 400 m to the West [Music] we’re here we are approaching kokura station kokura station opened in 1891 as a station on the kushu railway at the time of its opening it was located at the current Nishi kokura station but after moving twice it settled down to its current location for conventional lines it is a Jr cuu station but for shinson it is a Jr West station the Dano shinson kagoshima main line and nippo Main Line are available it is also a station on the kushu rapid Railway commonly known as the kushu monil the kushu monil was opened in 1985 connecting kokura station and Kiku GA Oka station at the time of opening the current hewad Dori station was kokura station but in 1998 it was extended to kokura [Applause] station at kokura station there is a very delicious standup Udan restaurant Gan Kai Udan there is also the famous TOA cukin chicken rice but I had just had lunch so I will report on chicken rice some other time we’re here I mentioned earlier that the K kushu manil is available at kokura

station building it is a spectacular site [Music] we are already at the next station it is the original monal Cura station it’s close to Jr Cura station but it’s quite far if you walk we’re here the next stop is station number three Tanga please get off here for Tanga ich Tanga Market is also known as the kitchen of kushu and is a famous place visited by both the general public and restaurant

showa theater a privately Run movie theater was completely destroyed by the fire occurred in 2022 the train depart for the next station karuchi mihi no station what a long station name metal is gone a

Naomi 160 departs from kokura station e [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] the train entered the shin camman tunnel we are approaching Toyama station we are passing Toyama station much slower
