Unfortunately, Rikubetsu's train station isn't only closed for the winter months, but the entire line that passes through stopped service in 2006, due to declining population in the region. It was called the Furusato Ginga Line, and was the only form of public transportation for over 100 kilometers. Rikubetsu Station and the trains stored there are a memorial of the line, once the main way in and out of the cold town.

Hey! From an old lady who's almost sixty....I lived in Japan in the nineties. I love your channel- brings back so many memories. These Journey Across Japan are the bomb! You are a wonderful film maker, narrator and content creator. You and your friends make it so much fun!

This episode is great, when Natsuki started his rap I had to stop eating because I was afraid I might choke on my food and die from laughter, Joey's rap is just too good and Pete as always the best guy.

I’m so glad you took the time to teach people about indigenous Ainu culture as both an Indigenous and Japanese person myself it means so much for people know we are still here!

The affability of Chris Broad, the earnest awkwardness of Pete, the suffering of Natsuki, Joey being Joey, and Ian and Paul keeping you all alive in the background. All the makings of a good video are present. Keep them coming, lol. We love all of you!

Man, everyone of you seems like the best person to hang out with, but Natsuki is just an absolute sport, what a man.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the many skills Chris has? Cinematic filming, check. TV-level editing, got it. Arranging elaborate tours, no problem. Beat boxing, sure. Making professional-sounding music, nailed it. Almost makes up for the fact that he can't cook (but he does have exquisite restaurant taste). Keep up the amazing work, Chris! Warm hugs from the Netherlands.

I love how you made an epic video when nothing went as planned. Fishing didn't happen, you improvised. The coldest town wasn't the coldest, you improvised and talked with locals. Really nice work!!

Chris, the quality of your production is. Incredible. I cannot fathom that this is a free series

It's fascinating to see the influence of the Ainu people, who were the traditional natives of Hokkaido, before Japan was established. It's important to promote and appreciate such unique places and the arts and crafts that were part of the indigenous culture. If you're in Hokkaido, highly recommend visiting the Ainu village at Lake Akan. It's a picturesque town with symbolic owls and a connection to nature.

Peter is surprisingly a really good host MC, and the level of quality that Joey and Natsuki brought was leagues ahead from 3 years ago. You all need to splice the verses together and hammer out a chorus, because that is on par with a legit hip hop track.

I love that Natsuki interviewed the ramen shopkeeper! <3 He sounded so professional!

this was a good episode because we rarely get to hear Natsuki speak Japanese, and i think it would be cool to have him do it more. in fact it would be cool to hear everone speak to natsuki in japanese to just to see them all have a regular conversation.

I love Pete, his positivity is infectious, such a great hypeman for the crazy competitions Natsuki and Joey get into. I loved Natsuki begging Peter for help. Combined with Chris's dry humor, I feel like he was the missing ingredient in your trio...a quartet now. Need a 5th and you'd have a 5-man band, any candidates coming to mind? ;)

Ainu culture is kind of underrepresented. I only discovered their existence through Golden Kamuy, the manga Joey brought up. That and this series really put the determination in me to make an extensive trip through Hokkaido in the future. It's such a fascinating place!

My Japanese teacher some years ago was part Ainu, his grandma was Ainu - and he had blue eyes from her. He told us about how growing up just outside of Tokyo he was treated differently and ‘other’ just because of his eyes from his grandma, and how he felt when he was a child and teenager when he wished his eyes were brown as well… As an adult be moved to the U.K. and became a Japanese teacher, when I met him he was much older (basically semi retired) and proud of his heritage. He made sure to teach us not only Japanese language and culture, but also he taught us Ainu culture. I hope that things are better for the Ainu now as Japan has become a little more international, because his stories of how his grandma was treated were not good.
