For anybody wondering about those sprinklers, they are spraying water. It is not de-icing, but to make sure the snow can't be powdery and blow up and stick to the undercarriage of the trains. They were having problem with snow blowing up and sticking, building up, and turning to ice balls and then falling off at speed. They could damage underbody tanks and also smash hard into the ballast causing rocks to shoot out and ricochet around even hitting some train windows and breaking them. Before this, they had to run trains much slower through snow. Otherwise, they plow snow normally. And at some station stops manually inspect under the carriages and manually blast away any stuck snow with wands with high pressure water jets. But those automatic sprinklers are just to change the nature of the snow.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I was wondering if it might just be water but I also wondered if it might then stick to the train as ice. Not enough to cause problems, I guess! And of course it would have to get really cold for water to freeze in the seconds before it runs off the train :)

There is so much to learn from the Japanese people. They are able to operate High-speed Railway in very very cold winter conditions. This fact engenders admiration and thus respect!

Watching that sleek, N700 trekking slowly into the Station through the snow was a beautiful sight. The snowy landscape is so pretty. I now live in a tropical climate. I love seeing the snow. Thank you.

Surprisingly, even with this heavy snowfall, the Shinkansen was rarely delayed even though most of the regional trains in the area were cancelled. I thank to the Shinkansen's technical capabilities and the people who maintain it.

Several years back I took a local train decked out in Hello Kitty livery from Matsuyama to Uwajima in the snow. Japan has some beautiful scenery in the snow.

Beautiful train, beautiful Japan ❤️🇯🇵

This is a masterpiece. Such a wonderful video. It reminds me of a trip I took on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Yuzawa in February 2020. When the train left Tokyo the sun was shining and by the time it got to Yuzawa it was a winter wonder land. Thank you.

Wow, that was really something. We don’t get snow where i live. To be able to just jump on a train and travel through it is such a treat. Even sitting here 8000 kilometres away, i have an ear to ear smile! Thank you for taking that trip.

It would be nice to see Kyoto under heavy snow. Japan temples and Onsen under snow is very romantic.

Thanks for this great video - I really enjoyed it. It was great to see the lovely scenery and also watch the Shinkansen glide slowly through the station.

Wonderful video of Maibara station. Almost 2 years ago we stopped at that station just to film different Shinkansens flying by. Very different experience from this video thanks for sharing it :)

Thank you, brings back my Kyoto visit using the same Shinkansen from Tokyo :) without the SNOW!

新幹線は日本の誇り！

I've been to Maibara many times but sure never knew it had big snow! amazing.

I don't think I've ever seen trains de-iced before. That was definitely different. That's a lot of snow. The highest snow I ever saw during my childhood was 12 inches (31 cm) December 24, 1966 in Philadelphia, PA. I was 8 years old and in heaven. We built snow tunnels in our yard lol. I miss those days.

Me, living vicariously through you! Now it's on my bucket list. The landscape is beautiful.

That is amazing at how much still runs with so little delay. Well done to all those invovled!

Thank you for posting such a beautiful video,

Your videos bring me so much joy in these times 🤍

I haven't been to Japan yet, but if I compare the train system there, according to your videos, with the German one... What a difference. For me it's ok, if a train is delayed, because it drives slowly - safety first. But as per what I see on this video: The train is still clean inside, light and heater are working and therefore I'd consider it a pretty comfortable travel. The "Deutsche Bahn" is always surprised again every year in winter, that it's actually COLD and that there could be SNOW. 🤣🤣 Watching your videos makes me kinda jealous. I hope, one day I can have similar experiences when I have a chance to travel to Japan. Thanks for sharing and all the best for the New Year from Munich 🍻

Wow! Never been to Maibara but that’s a lot of snow! My friend went back to Aomori and she said it’s snowing like crazy there. Was hoping for snow at Xmas here in Yokohama but maybe the latter part of January. Happy New Year Kuga san, 来年、よろしくお願いします❣️🥂🙏🏼

i was on the 11:10 Kodama shinkansen from Kyoto -Tokyo last Sunday, Dec 26th. The delays were already in place by that time and although it was bright sunshine in Kyoto I was expecting the snow around Maibara. Sure enough, it was a mini-blizzard at times in Shiga and we were held at Maibara station for a good 10 minutes. The scenes at Maibara are fantastic, I wish I'd jumped out to take some pictures. But I was in the green car with a delicious bento so I stayed put. We made up a little time between Nagoya and Tokyo and were less than 10 minutes late arriving at Tokyo Station. no inconvenience at all, it meant 10 extra minutes in a comfy green car seat. I too loved looking at the snow from a warm shinkansen seat. Japan knows how to run a railway.

I used to live in Shiga in the mid 2000s and I can remember arriving back on the Shinkansen after a New Year's trip to Kyushu to the same conditions at Maibara Took a couple of photos of the snowy platforms and tracks. In my case the local trains were still running. Infact this video is the first time I heard that the local Biwa-line trains were suspended. Very unusual!

I had been wondering about shinkansens and snow, Kuga-san - thought they might be SO fast that they could just blast through snow, like wheat-straws being driven by a tornado being able to penetrate a telephone pole (weird things happen, at high-enough speeds). I am LOVING the train-trips in the snow, in Japan ❤️😁 - would love to visit the snow-monkeys in their hot-springs around Nagano 🥰! (There’s another video where Kuga-san did just that)

So beautiful snowy landscape 😉

very cozy, thanks for making this ^_^

I've ridden that line in 2018. It was February, and luckily, there was no snow. It was one of the BEST high speed railway journeys I've had in my life.

I love winter and I'm getting more and more interested in this Japanese trains and beautiful and breathtaking landscapes. I'd like to visit Japan, especially in winter! ( But ofc spring or autumn seasons also are great). I wonder if in 2 years from now , we'll be able to visit Japan without any restriciton...I hope so!!!🤗🧡

what beautiful trains!

In Hikone City　8:25　 (Maibara City, Maibara Station), the snowfall is 70 cm, but in a straight line distance At Kyoto Station　9:09, which is less than 50km away, there is no snow. The elevation difference between the two cities is almost none, less than 30m. Nagoya in front of Maibara is also 0 cm In such a narrow range, the climate and temperature will change, and the agricultural products that can be produced will also change, making local special products. This shooting day was a special heavy snowfall day, but if you live in Honshu, Shikoku, or Kyushu, you can swim in the sea in the summer and ski in the winter. Can be enjoyed by traveling less than 150km.

It snowed a lot in Nagoya too! It snowed a lot in Kamakura too!

I'm glad you managed to make it back.

Lovely weather conditions, not ideal for running railways but for short term the snow adds beauty and interest to the day.
