  • mm hmm.

  • Alright, there it is.

  • This is the station.

  • This is a Toga station.

  • I wanted to come here and bring you somewhere that is super deep.

  • Hokkaido.

  • Come on, turn off the engine here.

  • Thank you, wow, there's not much out here.

  • Check it out.

  • This is bit Toga which is on the Hana Saki line which runs between Kushiro and name it all one of the more isolated train lines and isolated.

  • I don't know what that means.

  • Like very few people ride this and uh, apparently this station is not like Shibuya station.

  • It's not exactly bustling.

  • But what makes this station really unique besides the fact that it's in the middle of the middle of nowhere is that it is actually an old train car.

  • At least it looks like it is and we're gonna have a look inside.

  • This is as deep as you get for Hokkaido when they, when they don't really have a real station and they just take an old train car and make it a station.

  • Yeah, it's not a really big population here.

  • I don't think there's any electricity at this station either.

  • Here's the Hannah Psyche line that's going to be coming by here in about 30 minutes.

  • I got here too early, which is maybe a good thing.

  • Yeah.

  • And I'm not going to have to film this for the main channel.

  • There.

  • It is, is a train station.

  • This is a train station.

  • That's better.

  • Gah and here's a sign as you can see.

  • This is a typical JR sign.

  • You see these just about everywhere.

  • Toga of course, you gotta come here by rental car.

  • There's no way to get here unless you come by train.

  • Um but yeah, not a lot of attractions here.

  • There was a shrine straight ahead and maybe we'll go take a quick look down this road but there really isn't much here.

  • Let's go inside the station and take a look at 11:35 in about 30 minutes.

  • The train from Name You two is going to be making its way this this way through here to Kushiro.

  • I just took some drone shots at another station of the, of the train.

  • Going the other way, There's only five a day.

  • Whoa!

  • This, Yeah, this is pretty basic but it's clean, it's pretty clean and no spiders in here, which is a huge plus, wow, we're in a JR station.

  • Maybe the most remote one of the most report is really clean.

  • I don't know.

  • What do you think?

  • Welcome to the Atocha station in a trailer.

  • Um, we'll take a look at that sign in the second, it tells you how to get on the train.

  • Here's a schedule of all of the trains that come to be Atocha station.

  • The first train is at at 6:05 and you can see um it's about every three hours.

  • It's not very frequent About every three hours.

  • The last train is at 7:40 PM going towards Kushiro.

  • So you don't want to miss that because the next one isn't until the next day And going the other way to Nemuro.

  • There's a train at 903, which that's pretty late.

  • But going towards name, you know, there's only four a day And going the other way, there's a, there's five a day.

  • So I think maybe one of them might be a weekend train.

  • You can see here's the train line, it's not huge.

  • Here's Koshiro, here's Nemuro and I guess some trans from kushiro will go and go up north to Abashiri, which is where the prison used to be.

  • We're here, but Toga, so very close to name it all, Which is 640 and it's about 30 minutes, 30 minutes to get to name you go from here.

  • This is interesting.

  • Here, be aware of a train coming in going out or passing through, watch your step.

  • So as not to fall from the platform, That's a true story.

  • So they have a graphic to show you what not to do.

  • Um don't go onto the train line.

  • I mean if this was India it would be okay because my I've had family members just jump onto the track to cross one platforms and I felt like I was breaking the law by doing that, right?

  • I felt like I was breaking the law in India, but that's the way they do things in India, they just sort of jump across tracks.

  • In fact the tracks are the restroom there.

  • I don't think you could do that here.

  • No one would report you.

  • Um Yeah, there you go.

  • So you'll board the train here.

  • But if you ever dropped something legally you should not be going and getting yourself.

  • But I think if you know the train schedule maybe that's you can think about it.

  • There's no public telephones here.

  • Yeah.

  • Alright Let's have a little walkabout.

  • Be toga area.

  • We are 77 m above sea level.

  • Is that what that means here?

  • So usually they put let you know that in case of tsunami.

  • I don't know why they would say that here where the sea is not that far away.

  • There's the ocean, you can see up there the horizon.

  • That's the sea.

  • So we are 77 m above.

  • So pretty kind of high here.

  • So that's the station.

  • This is the exit.

  • Watch your step.

  • Alright let's go into the town.

  • Let's go try to find a Mcdonald's, there's not gonna be any, there's not gonna be any restaurants at all.

  • However there is a D.

  • O.

  • Con so that's gonna be kind of neat to be able to see uh something here.

  • You could spend the night.

  • I don't know This even this road only about three cars have passed and I've been here for about 15 minutes so it's not really what you would call even a highway.

  • Although the cell service should be good.

  • That's what that is.

  • Yeah.

  • Not even the roadways is very busy.

  • Alright let's go this way.

  • They said there was a shrine to toga shrine so just take a quick look see around the corner and then I gotta get ready, get the drone ready and and the camera ready for the train rolling through here.

  • It's a slow process making an episode like this when there are only four trains a day, you've got four shots that I'm coming back here in May so I can fill in the rest.

  • Okay there's a shrine train straight ahead.

  • Mhm Hello.

  • Mm hu Yeah.

  • Omni thank you And there's no no fast food.

  • No no convenience stores, not even a vending machine invite toga.

  • Mhm It's pretty basic and I think people like it that way.

  • I could, I could see myself maybe making a retreat here and a retreat meaning like this is where you go to get away from everything including people.

  • I haven't seen anybody here know there's somebody over there.

  • I don't think they've ever and I don't think any Youtuber has ever been here before.

  • Two Downtown Bay Toga.

  • Alright, here's the shrine.

  • Let's just go take a quick look see maybe we can make an offering for peace if you missed it.

  • I showed you Russia from the easternmost side of Japan about an hour ago.

  • Maybe a little bit more than that, wow that's right, this is amazing shrine twice.

  • Don't walk down the center.

  • Mhm.

  • Mhm Yeah I said hi to the lady there there's a lady moving bricks.

  • You can go get I have five p.m. Which is a typical donation at a shrine Boy.

  • There's like three people watching me.

  • Oh this is where you wash your hands.

  • But I'm gonna say that maybe we don't have to do that here.

  • Mm hmm It's about twice.

  • I did it.

  • I don't know where to put the money to put the money here.

  • Where do you put your offerings?

  • Why am I whispering?

  • Don't have to whisper.

  • We were walking around the shrine, wow okay.

  • Mhm I passed dozens of deer driving here.

  • They're just hanging out on the side of the road.

  • Mhm It's, there's a breeze, it's not, it's not too bad the wind compared to Cape the Cape I was at before.

  • It was really bad.

  • Dozens of deer I passed just hanging out on the side of the road.

  • It was weird and they're just watching like watching the car like like it was a tennis match.

  • This is very unusual and I wasn't, I was worried that they're gonna jump in front of the car when I drove out through this um beach town to get the first drone shot I was driving and I just on the corner of my eye, I turned this one steer in the town just like before so there there's a very strong unity with nature in this part of Japan I believe.

  • Alright, I better get back to the car and start to set up for the train coming?

  • Mhm.

  • There you go.

  • That's downtown Betty Toga.

  • I don't know it smells fresh, very fresh air compared to Tokyo.

  • You can't even compare, it smells good.

  • Somebody's burning a fire somewhere.

  • Air is cold, it's chilly so kind of impacts the nostrils a little bit but it's warm because of the sun.

  • There you go.

  • Yeah Shane writes in here amazing how much better the video quality is in the country than in Tokyo.

  • There's a lot of people that are using the wifi the the four G.

  • Signal and that's why there's just like a traffic jam usually.

  • And so you can't get, I don't know you can't get very good signal in Tokyo.

  • The best signal I ever got for.

  • Live streaming is probably Ogasawara on a remote island 24 hours away from the city.

  • Just because they had the most modern um four G.

  • L.

  • T.

  • E.

  • And not many people using it but we don't have that problem out here.

  • Just like the leaning barn of bottega.

  • It's at an angle I guess that's why they built a new one but didn't have the heart to.

  • Is that a fox?

  • Is that a fox?

  • That's a freaking fox, what do you do?

  • What should I do?

  • What did I do?

  • That's a fox.

  • If you are coming on the Hamasaki line you could stop here, stop and pray at the shrine, bring a bento have have some you know have a nice quiet lunch time and then get back on the next train you can do that.

  • Just hike down the street and just don't make sure make sure you don't miss your train but it doesn't make it does pay to have a rent a car like I do I can get out of here anytime.

  • I won't don't call me when you miss your train.

  • I might not be here.

  • I'm done.

  • I'm on the road back to Sapporo and going to get onto the plane at eight PM tonight and back to Narita, take the bus back into the city, a taxi back home.

  • Maybe I'm in bed by 11 p.m. Long days.

  • But that's what you got to suffer through to make good content.

  • Any content?

  • You gotta fight it out.

  • You can't sit in your apartment and eat and film yourself and expect people to say that's good unless you're witty and smart and have something funny to say.

  • But I'll be sure I'll be back in Nevada for sure to ride the Hamasaki line when the, there's a little bit more green on the trees.

  • It's kind of depressing out here because everything's winter dead, but it's coming back to life and you can feel it because it's sunshine.

  • I think it's good luck.

  • Some countries.
