Sapporo to Abashiri #1 オホーツクノカゼ

This should be looked at in Japan Rail HQ remix #9. It is higher quality.
Part 1 of the journey on Okhotsk No Kaze; The Sea Ice Express. There are four clips covering the trip which takes just over 5 hours through some of the most scenic countryside in Hokkaido, northern Japan.

I am curious to know why drivers point forward and say something every time you approach a station.

Why they do it?

thanks.

@botijo They must acknowledge all signals by pointing and verbally. They also call out the stopping condition when approaching a station. They are the rules on JR.

That's great because I have no idea. I would have like to video the entire trip but it is too long for the batteries in the camera.
