Japan Yokohama walk – Explore the Enigmatic Train Stations and Devil’s Crossing • 4K UHD
Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. There are special spots in this city that lure travelers and stir up the emotions that lie deep within their hearts. Kaishibaura Station is a station that gives you the illusion of standing at the end of the world. Despite the inconvenience of not being able to take a single step from the platform, the sight of the endless sea that spreads out in front of you blows away all your restraints.
“Kokudo Station” seems to have contained the Showa era itself. The scars of war etched under the viaduct inevitably reverse the flow of time. And then there is the “Ikumio Railway Crossing”. As its name suggests, this place is a long railroad crossing where gates frequently come down, testing the mettle and courage of those who cross it. These places are not just tourist spots. Each one has a strong personality and story that makes you feel as if you are asking questions about your own life.
In this video, you can experience three of Yokohama’s otherworldly spots in the form of a virtual walk. We want you to experience that moment when your senses are shaken.
“Umishibaura Station”. This is the terminal station on the Tsurumi Line, and you cannot exit the ticket gate without special permission. However, this inconvenience actually deters visitors. When you stand on the platform, the sea breeze caresses your face, and the ocean that fills your field of vision instantly erases the hustle and bustle of everyday life. When you listen to the sound of the waves, you can feel the endless time that stretches from the past to the present and into the future.
Kokudo Station is an elevated concrete station that has remained almost unchanged since its opening in the early Showa era. The pillars and walls that bear the scars of war are not just relics. It is the very memory of those who lived through history. When you step under the dark overpass, the breath and weight of the times wash over you.
The Ikumio Railroad Crossing is known as a railroad crossing that never opens, with a total length of 45 meters. Many lines intersect, including the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line, Yokosuka Line, and Tokaido Line, so the gates often come down. Their length and frequency go beyond simply blocking traffic and seem to pose a challenge to visitors. In recent years, a proposal to abolish the site has been floated, but discussions with local residents continue, making this site a veritable stage of debate. These spots go beyond mere scenery and speak to the hearts of visitors. It’s something that makes you realize the fragility, strength, and beauty of life. I want you to feel its charm to your heart’s content through this video.
