  • It's amasing how the Tokyo train station gets 20million passengers each day. That's 4 times the population of my country, Finland :O

  • 2:24 isn't that one of the guys in Japan-Interviews?

  • it looks like ur getting on a train with a bunch of kids lol

  • It is amazing how clean everything is in Japan.

  • I saw at least 2 people wearing medical type masks. Is this a common thing? Also......why?  ;)

  • @Epirc There are two reasons people there wear the white masks... one prevent flu germs to inhale, or, if the wear has a cold, not to spread the germs. two, some season/s the plant pollen causes allergy (this is big problem there) so to filter the air to inhale. Wonder if it really is effective, ..... but many people depend on the white masks.

  • @Epirc its usually seen during pollen season since people are sensitive to high pollen levels with allergies. Some people do it here (Richmond, VA).

  • 2:25 I saw a familiar face :D from one of your videos

  • i thought the biggest train station was in india???

  • 1:41 Thats 2/3 of the population of Canada passing through it everyday!

  • its so refreshing to watch your videos man

  • LOL aish japanchannel, so you do live in aichi ken or gifu prefecture.... :/ if i could bump into you on the street that would be pretty cool (im on exchange atm)

  • hey japanchannel, what is that cool spiral thing at 1:09?

  • @slipknothim13 Ya I want to know what that is 2!

  • $25... I prefer to go to a good restaurant  :D

  • i like MEITETSU' 3400 Classic streamliner before ww2,&nice also MEITETSU's RED!

  • I was born in Nagoya. There are three major railway companies, JR, Meitetsu and Kintesu at Nagoya St. I think Meitetsu is incredible, cause they has only one platform, and trains arrive in every three minutes from different regions and depart to different directions (see around 4:30). Very efficient system. Youn know the headquarter of Toyota the Efficient is next to Nagoya St.

  • @Fuckingflesheater Boring? I've watched this video like 5 times already! :]

  • what's with street performing in japan . do they allow people on the platform to perform like in chicago, nyc...etc...???? I do balloon art which I understand is very popular in japan. can a foreigner get a busking/ street peddler license there?? would really love to get immersed in japanese culture and learn the language. thank you very much for your videos.

  • i like how your friend just stand nicely next to you. :)

  • Comment removed

  • Nagoya station is the tallest ( twin tower is owned by the station and direct to the train platforms) ,Kyoto station is the longest, Shinjuku station (Tokyo )is the busiest and has most exits (over 200 ). Japanese stations' good parts are " underground cities", and connected to many department stores , no comparison to Grand Central Station in New York .

  • They need to put in some plants. The train station has a cold feeling to it.

  • Nice Vids man Always good to have new vids from u :)

    This rivals NYC.

  • Yes! I was in there practically everyday! We would always meet eachother at the silver clock on one of the sides of the station... don't know if you know what I'm talking about.

  • Most of the major train terminals in Japan make Southern Cross, Flinders street and Melbourne Central Station in Australia look tiny but dam I really liked the video =]

  • @billster1091 Lol another melbournite? :P The stations here are fairly tiny.

  • Orange guy at 2:42 finds his own arm fascinating.

  • It seems smaller and less busy than Kyoto Station, somehow. Even though Nagoya's is much higher, that's my feeling, from the video alone that is.

  • What's in those twin tower buildings?? Office blocks?

  • @selgeaus The taller one is for office (245 Meters, 51 Floors). The sister one is a luxurious hotel (226 Meters, 53 Floors). They were finished in December 99.

    What can I say is I always have been impressed by this complex. A real gem, and a world class station =). I love Nagoya <3.

  • @Paganbreeze I was in Nagoya in October for a morning and I didn't even notice all the top bits and pieces... I guess you have to physically LOOK UP to see that they are there...

  • The station looks so nice and organised.

  • Looks just like an airport!

    Some of the airports I have been to have subway systems of their own that take you to different parts of the airport.

  • cool video

    

  • Great video man. I for one love public transportation and trains in general. Do you think you could get a video of the shinkonsen(sp?) passing you standing next to it? Assuming there is a safe way to do that of course. Or perhaps another video about the bullet train.

  • I didn't see any security officers anywhere. Is that standard practice? I know nothing of Japan, except the bad stuff of course I hear in the news. Just found this channel and is very interesting. Thank-you for posting these vids.

  • This building is huge! I think my fear of heights would be troublin' me if I look up to the top xDD

  • I stayed just down the street. This place is huge.

  • Those helicopter pads are quite convenient. I'm always worried where to land my helicopter when picking up someone at the train station.

  • Really nice video!! I really really wanted to watch this station in video!!! amazing!

  • Imagine JR's revenue! Considering that they can build those huge towers! Ahaha

  • I like trains...

  • Very good, thank you for the video.

  • i think its 3 million per day - 20 million per week.

  • Try penn station in nyc this time of year, its INSANEEE. I was just there today :)

  • hhhheeeeeeyyyyyyy gggguuuuuyyyyyyyyysssssss!!

  • @eskercurve

    You should complain to Guinness Records and have them change it.

  • @TheJapanChannelDcom LOL, I'm not that big a nit-picker. If they want to call it the biggest, great for them. And wow I didn't realize people would be so put off by it to vote my comment down! Oh well. Didn't mean to get on people's wrong side.

  • @eskercurve BTW Shinjuku st has the Guinness record in terms of the number of passangers.

  • Impressive. I use New York's Penn station and it is smaller and gets insanely crowded during rush hours. Infrastructure in the USA is failing due to lack of investment.

  • I stay there all the time, Marriott hotel, right on top of that building but I never knew that I sleep in a train station !!! LOL

    Where's the Guinness certificate location? I've been there so many times but never saw it! I'll try to find it next time.

    Although I think this is more like a train station under a complex coz the whole structure is not a train station. I'm not sure what is a Guinness 'definition' of station anyway. But it sure nice to know these fun facts! lol

  • @BoeingJetJockey Because mariot likely leases the space from the station, and whatever is owned by the station is considered part of the train station.

    So the definition is, everything in the immediate area oned by the station.

  • i like that train is still a modern use of transportation there. if you take a train in the U.S., people give you the hairy eye...

  • I spent my first afternoon in Nagoya 名古屋 without even leaving the station ; Excellent train station . I really love all the little streets and suburbs around the station too . Your vids rock coz they're totally informative , without self-reflection or the " in-jokes" from other clique groups on YouTube reporting about Japan .

  • すごい!すごい!

  • And I thought the train station in DC over in America was huge. Super awesome video thought! :)

  • The architecture is mind-blowing. Great video

  • Love that shot of the Shinkansen!

  • Pff..and I as an architecture fan I´m all happy with the glassy 8 floors train station building on the city I study... xD

    Thanks for another great video!

  • I am getting a bit sick and tired of all the people who are not even bothered to read the description, where you clearly state that there are many many more videos in your different playlists! Maybe once in a while you should not post a video, but only the description text! Saves you from always having to redirect people.....

  • @gyqz

    I'm sorry that i asked that question, I didn't notice that the subject was already covered in one of playlists.

  • "pretty intense"...yep that describes it well!!

  • Remember: Japanese are reliant on trains and stations are a consumer hub- every major business revolves itself around a station . Millions are pumped into maintenance and care; however the US is predominantly a car culture especially the west coast i.e Cali, so less care is given to train stations .

  • im guessing the guy from the interviews is your bff? lol

  • @1997seanmac All first world countries are aging populations, you're logic is completely ridiculous.

  • there a aging population why do they need everything so big?

  • How clean and beautiful! The train station here in Los Angeles is horribly old and decayed compared to that station. We even have hundreds of birds living inside our station, flying around near the ceiling all day. It's a complete zoo here in Cali :(

    How I wish I was born Japanese.

  • wow...im amazed at how clean it is...looks brand new

    be ashamed america...be very ashamed

  • The thumbnail made the buildings walls look like cloth. What building did you film the first part from?

  • Thank you all for the responses

  • very interesting great video thanks

  • How the hell did you film that high up?

  • Why do they need something so big D: That's what I want to know.

  • Nagoya has a huge aquarium and the world's largest planetarium.

  • I've been at Nagoya train station many times but I didn't notice that tower. Hahahaha.

  • I can never get enough of your narrating

  • The towers looked like theyre trying to build a space elevator. in the near future taking a shinkanzen on an afternoon chill above an eart orbiting japnese city would be frkin cool. Hey guys, the teleportation booth is on 3:01

  • America is behind in efficiency of the public transportation. We borrow a lot of good things/ideas from other countries, and we still don't have cell phone boosters in our Los Angeles subway stations. We need to upgrade our infrastructure.

  • @mdk036 Our trains are from Italy, so they break down every winter. Hows that for ya? Lol

  • Wow, that's what I call a big train station. Great! Thanks for showing it to us.

  • i've been there !

  • There was a dream that America would have something similar to this. :( However, that dreamed died, and now, not even California has a chance to get it's own bullet train. Too bad, because I think it would have been really popular. Like how it is in Japan. ^^ I know my Dad would've loved it. ^^b And I know he would love this train station too.

  • It strikes me as odd, coming from The Netherlands: a country which only has more than one national railway system for 10 years now, that there are two railway stations right next door to each other to serve their own customers. Here, the different companies use the same railways, same buildings, heck they even use the same platforms! The only difference are the routes and the speed at which the trains run. I think transferring is more of a hassle the Japanese way for a change.. Thnx for the vid!

  • When I read the "Guinness" World records at the beginning, I thought about the beer!

    What!? Guinness beer has a world records at a train station!?

  • 2:05 - I love how you're taller than everyone else in the station, lol. Awesome video, not boring at all!

  • Every time I watch his videos, I feel like I've heard God. XD

  • Wow. That's an impressive building!

  • I think Shinjuku in Tokyo is the busiest. And i think it has the most exits or something. I'ts quite crazy. I've been lost in there a couple of times!

  • @satay71 Definitely Shinjuku station is the busiest.Im Japanese and living in Shinjuku area,I even get lost sometimes...There are over 200 exits.

  • Awesome video. I've come to love the Japan trains and station because of my trips to Japan and have explored a couple of them just to see what's in them and some of the larger ones are amazing. Went to Kyoto last year and Kyoto station is amazing. I think the Shinjuku station is actually the busiest one, not Tokyo station. Hope you can do a "walking around a station" highlights video someday.

  • =3 Who shot JR?

    =3 I dunno but they used a bullet... train.

  • more videos like this one comming soon,hopefully :}  !!

  • Everyone seems quite shocked by how busy it is. I'm not, but then growing up passing through kings cross station many times I suppose would make me used to busy train stations.

  • wow, this looks more like an airport than a train station!

  • wow, if that was not even the busiest time of the day....then that is a very busy station. Very cool video.

  • i'm in love with these videos! thanks for making!!

  • Love Japans trainsystem. It works there and it's efficient. In Sweden it doesn't, if you ever come to Sweden, bring a car.

  • Thats not a train station, thats a freaken airport O_O!

  • Good one!  5:29 You're really working here.

  • I am not surprised at all, Japan is the master of train systems.

  • This makes me feel much better about getting lost 50% of the time I go to Nagoya station!

    It's funny it doesn't actually feel like a massive station... just lots of smaller areas that just keep on going!

  • Having the doors open on one side to let people out before opening on the other to let them in (notice there's always one that goes out the in door - 4:48) just makes sense. Like having the trains stop exactly on their marks so people can line up in front of the doors. Japan personified.

  • awesome!

  • @tylerwalker2 - it would be based on architectural plans not on physical measurement :)

  • i wonder how long it took guiness to measure every single floor of those buildings xD

  • Mr. Conductor, let me off on floor #66, please.

  • Please make a video of Kanazawa Station if you ever go there, Mr JCD. It was listed as being in the top 15 worldwide, when judging stations for originality of architecture. In meantime, thanks for this one!

  • @Expresso98

    Already did.

    Search "interesting train station" on the channel page.

  • @TheJapanChannelDcom I don't mean to sound like a whiney bitch..but next time could you state the amount of feet is in as well..for your very western viewers?

  • @TheJapanChannelDcom

    There's a South Park episode called "Simpsons already did it!" in which the kids try to come up with a cartoon show of their own. But whatever they think off, it has already been done by the Simpsons. Why on earth do I think of that now?

  • sorry but someone had a mask on....Why????

  • @ataylorai1 They were trying to prevent spreading their cold.

  • What's with the masks that some peaple wear?

  • @Jarzyniak

    "how to" playlist... #31

  • @Jarzyniak It's for protecting your self and/or others from sickness, sometimes pollen, it's a custom. And it's really smart and shows why Japan is one of the most healthiest people. It's a shame other countries are too "scared" to adopt this.

  • @Jarzyniak about 1 in 10 or so wear then from what i have seen . they just like to be sanitary to stop the spreed of the flu and other things plus Tokyo being the biggest city in the world has a lot of pollution some like to protect them self from that .

  • @Jarzyniak Its for when their sick so that they dont cough or sneeze on other people. The Japanese culture is very polite and considerate of others.

  • @Jarzyniak hmmm because they are probably sick and dont want to spread flu,,,,,0_0

  • I think Shinjuku is the busiest station in the world.

  • Wow! Puts NY train systems to shame.

  • Here in New Zealand We only have the 1 train buisness. With 2 tracks, one going one way, one going the other. Amazed at how japan has different train businesses.

    Care to explain what people dressed in blue at 4:15 are?

  • wow! Japan is the best!!! 笑

  • 2:06 Reminds me how tall you are.

  • Very good video.. I love It thanks :)

  • Nice how koordinated everything is:)

  • Trains are fun.

  • So: is it hard to find your way through there?

  • 2:24 it's the guy from the interviews!

  • @BrokenClocks08

    I think so. Good call. But is hair isn't as "spikey".

  • @BrokenClocks08 hahah wow I was just going to comment the same thing lol

  • You get around pretty quick .

  • i really want to visit Japan
