Perhaps it should be mentioned that we are looking for a few more streams, particularly ones that have something happening at night as the stations are too dark to see anything.

For example, something like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9pavMzUY-c

General guidelines are:
> Must be from Japan, interesting, minimum 480p, constant stream (none of those 2-frame-per-second streams), with ambient sound preferred.

I sure wish vlc didn't have the grey screen problems and was able to actually run youtube.

I agree with >>16928965 we've gotta come up with a good OP explaining the whole thing. Also, I thought we were going to use old Aizu-Wakamatsu screenshots for the OP, no?

Reposting the last webms from the previous thread to get it started. (and because it's a pain in the ass to make them now, for me at least)

>>16929182
What a nice guy.

>>16929188
>>16929182
I caught him too.

>>16929227

Wait, what?

No more camera? What happened? How many years was it on?

They sure are working hard.

This has always been my personal favorite.

This amount of light in 4:30. This is one of the things I can never get used to about Japan.

>>16930975

Yeah I also forget how high Japan is up there in latitudes.

Got this one a few days ago, conductor yells at some students who are late

I hope these threads forever stay as RIP Aizu-Wakamatsu 3月31日 NEVER FORGET instead of the actual station.

>>16931246
What do you even mean?

It is school time!

>>16931463

beat me too it,

>>16931467
Conductor-san looking around if everything is alright.

A woman showing up in the last second and barely catching the train.

Just reposting the time scheduled for Yunokami-Onsen Station while we wait for the next train.

30-60 minutes between trains from 6-23

It seems like the people on the left might be gathering for a late ohanami. They put something on the ground, but no one seems to be sitting down. Weird. But I have to go to bed now, I can't follow it.

Making the station clean.

>>16928965
There was a shrine stream posted in a thread a week or so back

Somethings up with the pink engine on the right.

>>16931736

and its gone, took the flatbed with it too.

>>16931736
>>16931787
Well damn.

A bunch of elementary school students with their teachers show up and wave goodbye to the train.

Now they are having a lesson at the station.

Seems like that it'll be a warm, fairly sunny day today. That's good for comfy viewing.

http://samachan.org/a/res/4754.html
A reminder to simpler times.

Best time of the day, other than early morning.

Almost missed the long red train.

No lights tonight on either streams.

>>16931492
Thanks anon.

Are there any special trains like the steam train at our station?

>>16935205
At our old station*

This new station is shit.

>>16935030
zzzzzz

>>16935225

its just a small slow station, what are you expecting?

Few more hours and it should brighten up again. Don't miss the sunrise on the bessho station. It is always absolutely beautiful once the sun starts to peek from behind the mountains.

>>16928578
I'm quite of fond of these two new train cams.

Glad we came to this ones as for the new threads.

Of course still nowhere as good as Aizuwakamatsu ;_;

>>16936248
Not even 40 minutes from your post and the sun is out already before 5am...

>>16936408
Wait a while longer and it gets real good.

>>16936430

This is a nice stream as well.
anyone know how to run in VLC/MPC?

I love you guys

>>16936475
Bessho can't VLC, because it is youtube. It can MPC, though. Follow this guide https://pastebin.com/3ThKa4K2 After setting it up you can use this .bat file to open it https://my.mixtape.moe/mvyzhe.bat Just check if livestream is in the same directory as listed in the bat file.

That sun.

>>16936553
That's the perfect time to be watching the stream. Its so incredible. Just makes me feel very peaceful every time!
Looking forward to rainy days though. I need to see this stream during a storm.

>>16936882
That red train.

Looks familiar.

>>16936553
The sun hurts my eyes.

>>16936919
There is a pesky spider trying to make a web to the bessho camera. The web is pretty visible during sunrise.
Someone needs to go and tell the spider to FRIGG OFF!

>>16936408
Japan doesn't use daylight savings time so you get like 4am sunrises in summer.

What's with all the cameras?

>>16937049

you got to take the pictures of the train when it turns the bend

especially when its the red one.

>>16937214
Red one, best one.

he's waving at the camera hehe

>>16937401
One day in the far future, I will be waving for the camera. Please look forward to it.

Just tuned back into Bessho station and I saw some women walk off camera. Did anyone catch them? Were they cute? I didn't get a good look.

There seems to be some special event at Ueda for Golden Week, there's a new livestream of a crossroad:
http://live.ueda.ne.jp/sanada.html

I don't suppose anyone saw what was supposed to happen here? A parade maybe? It's actually an interesting little stream, it's got sound and everything.

>>16938373
That seems neat, thanks! I'll be definitely checking this out from time to time. Any idea if it gets completely dark during the night?

>>16938380
Don't know, it just started today and seems to be a one-day thing, hence me wondering if it were the meeting point of some shrine parade or something.

Is there anything that Japan won't miniaturise? Even their RVs are tiny.

Stop forcing this shitty new station. Find a good new one or let it die.

>>16939016
What's wrong with the Yunokami-Onsen Station camera?
It's a comfy little station not far from Aizuwakamatsu.

>>16939016
I think it's rather pretty with the cherry branches, thatched roof and cars passing by. Rather less traffic than the old one, true

>>16939016
Feel free to leave if you want to. Nobody's forcing you to stay.

>>16939016
I like the new station cams. Please don't speak for everyone.

>>16931492
That schedule is a big help. Thanks for sharing it.
Their punctuality also helps.

It must be nice to be able to just go out and sit under the sakura tree like people seem to be doing regularly at Yunokami.

Is some special train coming or something?

>>16941195
I think this coming one is the ＡＩＺＵマウントエクスプレス号

>>16937497
Ah yes I will be looking forward to seeing you anon. Until that day, fighto!

>>16941296

>>16941306

>>16941160
Damn I hate how far away from Aizuwakamatsu I live now.

It would take like two and a half hours to drive there using the express ways (aka toll roads) and about the same if I use trains (including Shinkansen)

Probably cost about the same either way.

School on sunday?

>>16941404
Yikes! Cutie alert!

Here it comes! Also old lady cleaning the stairs. Good job old lady!

>>16941404
>>16941417
>>16941426
When will the saga continue? You better catch her when she comes back. Not literally, but on the stream. You know what I mean!

>>16941404
Maybe a club activity.

2 trains!

The lights twinkling in the background of Bessho, is that Ueda? I wonder if you can see any firework displays from here?

What about Bessho? It seems closer to Tokyo if that's where you live.

This entire week is a holiday, right? That mean we won't be able to see some qts in uniforms at the crossroads if they are taking that camera down soon.

Also, I'm surprised Japan still his timer junctions. Even my backwards country changed over to those pressure sensors in the road years ago.

>>16941360
what prefecture do you live in anon?

>>16943234
>What about Bessho? It seems closer to Tokyo if that's where you live.
Na, I moved the other direction. In Miyagi prefecture now, Higashimatsushima.

>>16945308
Monday and Tuesday are normal days, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are holidays.
Some schools will still have club activities on Golden Week, so there could be still be some qts in uniforms.

Japan does have sensor type junctions as well, overhead instead of under the road, but because they haven't really phased in roundabouts yet timed junctions make a lot of sense when you have so many traffic lights around because they can be timed in a sequence to move traffic.

>>16944648
Now this man knows how to take it easy! That is MAXIMUM easy!

Pretty noisy at the station now. Cars and stuff going around quite a bit.
Also some nerd taking photos. Good on you nerd.

Hello there

>>16938373
Aww, it's gone. It's a pity nobody saw the parade, have to remember about it for next year.

It was an interesting camera though. It showed me that Asian drivers really are as dangerous as their stereotype suggests. In the few short days the camera was live I saw multiple lorries blasting through the junction just as the lights were turning red, vans cutting corners and actually driving on the wrong side of the road, multiple cars speeding through the 7-11 carpark to bypass the junction and even a guy on a moped ramp up onto the path and drive along the path and pedestrian crossing in order to avoid the lights. Crazy. If the police set up a camera there, they would make thousands in fines.

>>16947773
Why is it gone? Is it going to come back?

>>16947783
It seems to have been set up specifically to show an annual samurai-style parade that happens on the first day of golden week. I hope it will come back for next year's parade.

>>16947773
That's honestly pretty normal for Japanese traffic outside of Tokyo and it's better than you'd think. There's an order to it. Most vehicles also blow the red when turning right, that's standard. Sometimes there's a pad in the middle of the road for people turning right to sit inside.

>>16946373
Now we're talking.

>>16947867
The two things Japanese people are really bad at when it comes to driving is stopping for red lights and speed.

Pretty much every day I see cars going through intersections after their light has already turned red, and I am not including the ones who were waiting inside the intersection to turn, only ones that cross the line after it has turned red.

I have been told by Japanese people that 10km/h over the limit is fine, 15km/h is usually okay, 20km/h is pushing your luck. From personal experience if you are driving on a semi busy two lane road at 10km/h over the limit and no way to pass then you will form a queue behind you, and it isn't uncommon to be overtaken for just doing 15km/h over the limit (even on a two lane road posted as no overtaking).

Part of it is probably because you just don't see that many police cars out patrolling. And if they are they have to have their lights flashing anyway so you spot them a mile away.

>>16947925
I've done 140km/h on the highways and had the police casually cruise past me, as did other traffic. Speed limits in Japan are only a suggestion.

>>16947932
Except when they decide to enforce it, and they sometimes do.

>>16947932
>>16947925
>>16947867

Are traffic accidents common then in Japan?

Some qt's spotted. Also seems like that there is some tourist group or something there now? Some guy talking loudly to people. I feel like a secret spy!

>>16952697
That station is amazing for cute girls man. Once I watched for 5 mins and saw three cute schoolgirls and a woman in thigh high boots with a sexy dress entering that station. Probably a hooker going home after a long night of work? No idea.

Something tells me this week will be kinda unusual in most of the cameras.

>>16953862
I have to agree, bessho stream has been unusually loud as of late during daytime. Not that I mind.

If the schedule says 9h46, then 9h46 it shows up.
I'm still impressed by it.

Of course they do. Families, groups of co-works, old people. Taking a bath is more of an Asian thing than European one.

>>16994022
Yes, but you often hear about all the resorts that close down after the bubble and how bath houses are closing down because people prefer to bathe in the privacy of their own homes. Then you have more modern competition, like theme parks that are closer to where people live, and cheap jet travel allows you to go to Hawaii for the weekend.

On the other hand, onsens have maids!

>>16998615
Don't confuse bath houses with onsen. Bath houses usually are just normal heated water anyway.

The quality is considerably better but the location isn't as good. I wish it was up higher and not so close to the platform so we could see more of the trains and the scenery.

Does anyone have any good solutions to recording youtube streams with ffmpeg?

>>17005371

This is so weird. It's supposed to be 10pm there and everything is already closed down for the day?
Are they on daylight savings or something so I'm mistaking it for 11pm instead?

>>17014169
Yeah, it looks like the last train on the weekends at least is around 10-11pm

>>17014169
>>17017141
In fact, it looks like the last train heading to Aizuwakamatsu passes through at around 9pm and the last train from Aizuwakamatsu arrives around 10:30pm.

>>16954200
I can't speak for any other companies, but I can for JR. Punctuality is key. Your job, quite literally, depends on it.

There are some JR routes with five second tolerances per stop. They're not a suggestion or a best case scenario. They're a requirement. Every single day, every time you make a stop. They'll tolerate, at most, around two screwups in a six month period. Then you're done. You're also done if someone even suspects you're going to screw up.

I can also assure you the rest of your working life there will be as hostile as the adherence to safety and timetables. Don't miss a signal announcement (they have cameras in cab, they know the exact moment you do), a timetable, a safety sign, a driver inspection, your scheduled break and lunch times, your driver changeover time, company holiday outings, or overtime.

A bright night.

What's with Hokkaido always being so fucking empty? It's like a ghost town. There is rarely ever anything going on on the streets. I find it extremely weird.

>>17027522
Could it be one of those areas that's only really busy everywhere during certain events/mid summer?

Anyone notice the amazing new Bessho line documentary? Even though I can't understand what the lady is saying, I think it's very well done. But it's a pity they didn't do the cab view all the way to Bessho.

>>17027522

I don't know about Japan, but 5.30 is considered rush hour where I live, yet there is less traffic in Hokkaido than I see on a Sunday afternoon in my city. Weird. An expensive congestion toll perhaps?

So much colour variation on this stream, I love it!

No trains though unfortunately.

>>17032541
I would like that except there is too many people particularly tourists and normalfags having al round good time.

>>16928578

Not too long ago I'd check the camera at about 10pm there, which should be when one of the trains is supposed to come by, but lately the lights have been all off since as early as 8pm. It's odd.

Its an event train 会津浪漫号 and runs mainly on the weekends (schedule in the link above).

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BC%9A%E6%B4%A5%E6%B5%AA%E6%BC%AB%E5%8F%B7

Judging on the curve at the top front of the train its probably the AT-400 series (AT-401).

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BC%9A%E6%B4%A5%E9%89%84%E9%81%93AT-400%E5%BD%A2%E6%B0%97%E5%8B%95%E8%BB%8A

The cat logos running along the 2nd carriage of the train and at the back is apparently Love (らぶ? Rabu) the cat station master of the next train station Ashinomaki-Onsen Station 芦ノ牧温泉駅.

http://www.aizutetsudo.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/805f717ccc19fdb4094d79238fa24648.pdf

I am really liking this new station. Being in the same area as the old one is a big plus. Found lots of nice content and in researching you can really tell they put alot of effort in putting on events, original content and promotions being a tourist hot spring area and all.

Oh and it snows there. Can't wait till winter.

Pink flowers for my yellow friend.

So when was the camera at Aizu Wakamatsu station installed? I'm curious for how many years they streamed.

>>17052826
That's interesting, must be a nice train to ride, specially that back part with open windows and rails. Also, cute cat.

So I was finding weird that as early as 8 or 9pm the lights were all off, as they were today, but apparently it's just for the sake of energy saving? Anyways, close to 10pm lights came back up, this train passed on by and some minutes later went off again. Good to know.

>>17051906
>>17052872
I'm not sure. I just checked and the 7:36 and 8:03 showed up exactly on time a little while ago.
But I'm not sure what the two rows mean. The one in the left has Aizu Wakamatsu on the top.

>>17058496
And here's the 8h33 train described on the left.
I think the trains on the left row are the ones coming from way back there, like the one in this webm.
And the trains on the right row are the ones that are heading towards Aizu Wakamatsu, or, the ones closes to the camera.

It's how I imagine this webm went.

>>17058729
It's always funny to observe people on various stations and try piece together what the HECK is going on.

What's the budget way to get to Aizu Wakamazu from Tokyo? I'd prefer to dodge Tohoku as it makes the trip 10k one way which is a lot for just a fun, gimmicky visit,

>>17061862
>Not planning the ultimate pilgrimage
Amateur.

To answer your question, I can't see any other way you can get up to Aizu without paying Y10k unless you are able to borrow a car or have lots of time and are willing to hitch-hike/cycle.

>>17062807
Maybe one of these days. By the way what the fuck is up with that russian station? I had it as well?

>>16928578
Jesus northern Japan is beautiful.

>>17062807

I'm doing that route (except I'm going a different way to Maebashi) next month. Looking forward to it. Typical that the Aizu-Wakamatsu camera closes before I go though.

>>17065583
Be sure to eat sauce katsudon when you are in Aizu-Wakamatsu.

Nobody got down from it.

Close to 9pm

>>17065644
Why?
>>17065583
>>17061862
Are you going with anyone? I love to travel but I don't know how to travel alone.
>it makes the trip 10k one way which is a lot for just a fun, gimmicky visit,
Wait, what do you mean you're just doing a gimmicky visit? I mean these 3 places are touristy places with two of them being Onsen hot springs surely you stay a bit to take in what the places are like?
>>17062807
Nice.

>>17064012
>By the way what the fuck is up with that russian station?
I have no idea, it wasn't like that a few months ago.

>>17065583
Take lots of pictures and videos. Post here.

>>17067305
>Why?
It's the local specialty.

Damn it, finding this thread made me start looking for interesting IP cams again.
Now i am gonna have to dig more monitors out of the basement storage.

In case someone has missed it:
https://www.insecam.org/en/bycountry/JP/
Large directory of public accessible IP webcams.

Are there any live cameras in the Fukushima area?

>>17075304
In The Zone or the prefecture in general?

>>17075443
The exclusion zone preferably. I'd love to watch nature reclaim it

おばけ

!!!

>>17068177
Right. I thought sauce katsudon was a pretty common dish.

>>17083401
Pizza is a common dish, but go to new haven and they'll tell you they do it best.

>>17073056

when did the yellow engine get here,

>>17083466
It has been around a week.

Even they look like they're not used to this train.

Should I keep posting these webms every now and then or is it too much?

>>17067305

I'm going alone. I don't know how to travel with other people.

>>17067946

I'll try to take pictures. I bought a GoPro so I can take video, but I'm not even great at taking pictures so we'll see how well that works out.

I'm still planning the last few bits and pieces. Planning a journey using nothing but local lines has been a nightmare. Most of them have very few trains per day so working out how to fit it all together ended up being far harder than I expected.

I'm staying in Aizu a couple of nights so I can do the Tadami Line and Banetsu East for visiting Kitakata.

>>17084316
Keep posting! I don't watch that particular stream that often so I appreciate seeing anything you notice on it.

>>17084316
Yes please keep posting every now and then. We really appreciate it.

I've been meaning to ask how you make these webms? I would like to contribute every now and then as well.

>>17085122
>>17086002
Alright, no problem. Just so I knew somebody was watching those.

>>17086002
I record them the hard way.
This camera is tricky because opening the stream on vlc you'll often get the gray screen glitches. So I just record the whole screen using OBS and then crop using a video editing program. Although you could probably set up OBS to record only the webcam area.
Then I convert to webm with XMedia Recode

If you wanna catch any of the trains in camera, this >>17058496 is the schedule, 2 or 3 minutes give or take.

>>17041772
I live in Ottawa and once had an OCTranspo driver pull my bus over to the side of the road for ten minutes (we were ahead of schedule) so he could get tim hortons

>>17041772

>BART

lived in the bay area about 5 years ago, sounds like its still bad as ever

>>17093839
>>17093844
What school could they possibly attend?

I thought this was a station for the local onsen tourist area. Bit strange for there to be a school nearby. Or is it just me?

Some sort of work on the rails?

>>17097372
This looks like some shoegaze album cover.
I'm guessing some general maintenance? Though who the heck would do it in the dark.

>>17098139
Probably doing it at night to avoid disturbing traffic as much as possible.

>>17096579
From their non-uniform backpacks they look high schoolers rather than junior high, so my bet would be a high school in Aizu-wakamatsu.

>>17096579
>>17098561
Looking at Google Maps I think it's Ōto Junior High

>>17098561
I'm an idiot, I just reread your post. There's a few high schools they could be going to in Aizu-wakamatsu.

>>17098706
>>17098664
We MUST find out exactly which school it is.

It's amazing how easy you can spot a foreigner.
Even if he wasn't slightly overweight, there's something that just makes him stand out completely. Maybe the clothes, but most probably the sunglasses.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Japanese people walking around with sunglasses unless they were celebrities.

Now this is an interesing webm.
I've noticed something on several occasions. You can see it on some of the already posted webms, such as >>17093844 that they actually have to press a button on the outside for the doors to open. I don't know if this is new to me only, but it's a weird thing.
On this webm you can see that one of the old ladies on the bottom tell the other to press it. And for the gaijins on the top, the conductor himself reaches out and presses it.

Over to Aizu wakamatsu they go. Lucky bastards.

>>17104316
Some trains have it, some don't.
It seems to be most common on lines where some stops won't have people getting on/off and/or lines which have start and end points in (so not circle lines) so when the train is sitting around waiting to go back down the line people can close the doors after they enter the train (especially in the winter months).

>>17104305
>I don't think I've ever seen Japanese people walking around with sunglasses unless they were celebrities.

Because they don't need them. I think Asian eyelids have evolved specifically to shade their eyes from the glare of the sun, which is why most won't need sunglasses like whitey does. Celebrities may be different because they probably got that eyelid surgery that removes their squint.

>>16945308
timer junctions are there to keep truck-kun in business.

>>17012076
You can get the link to the actual stream by doing youtube-dl -g [youtube link]. Then you can put that in ffplay or whatever

>>17104316
>such as >>17093844 that they actually have to press a button on the outside for the doors to open. I don't know if this is new to me only, but it's a weird thing.
I'm >>17092496 and we have light rail up here in Ottawa. You have to press a button to open the doors.
See around 1:20 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWV8CIw14hA

so you guys just watch trains? seems very comfy. I want to set up lots of iina windows streaming different stations now

shame that they're all dead for my GMT+0 evenings, I guess I'll have to watch in the mornings

>>17104305
The clothes I don't know why and a bit of the mannerisms which again I can't describe.

Also nice catch again. Don't know how but you're really good at catching these.

>>17108837
Welcome. Please stay and enjoy yourself. Make yourself a nice drink and play some music you like if it helps makes it super comfy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdJthnaGO6c
I've put this one in a monitor, maybe not so good for seeing people but it's good overnight and it was cool to see the thunderstorm go through.

>>17109717
I'm just lucky I guess.
I probably could catch more, like the schoolgirls more often, but I'm not always at my computer by the time the 6h47 train stops by. But tuning in the webcams 3 or 4 minutes before the scheduled train always works.

I wanted to make a time lapse but I don't think it's going to work. Which is a shame, it would look beautiful.

>>17108837
It's a shame you missed on the Aizu Wakamatsu station camera. It was worth leaving on the background or a second monitor all day long. You can find some videos on youtube about it. These ones are nice too.
This one http://live.ueda.ne.jp/bessyo.html is worth leaving on. The background sound of birds along with traffic is great.

That lady who works at the station is not wearing her yellow jacket as usual. She looks cuter like that.

>>17110590
>The background sound of birds along with traffic is great.
I was recording a comfy 3 hour audio clip of rain and distant thunder last night only to try to load it for editing today and find out i fucked it up somehow and the file is corrupted.

How do you know if you are taking things too far?
Maybe i should get a pair of 4k monitors to hang on the wall.

>>17112737
surveillance/10

>>17112737
Having more than two streams open at one time is taking it too far! But I see you are a man of duty. Keep Japan safe my friend. Report any alien sightings.

>>17113624
Will do, i just wish i would find more of the 2way audio cameras so i could scream at people in horribly massacred Japanese and see their reaction.

>>17112737
You should switch to a flavor of linux and use a tiling window manager, it would be perfect

>>17115106
This is my third monitor, for example

>>17115249
>>17112737
Amazing. How does your bandwidth handle all these streams?

Rainbow!

>>17115412
Nice!
Here's a thunder from some hours ago.

>>17115293
I'm the guy with only three and I'm not really sure honestly. They seize up every once in a while but now I'm down to two and it's not so bad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCcqtWsybmY
Not sure if this one has been posted, pretty during the day with windmills

>>17116033
Is the driver giving a woman something?

4chan is probably not the best place for this but these threads are comfy so might as well. Anyone feeling like exploring these lines in the coming weeks? Due to work only weekends are OK for me but with tsuyu coming the onsen makes it a nice timing.

>>17116992

I'm >>17065583 and I'm doing a run around Fukushima, Tochigi and Ibaraki in a few weeks, but I don't think I'll have a weekend free unfortunately. I'm in Tokyo one weekend and meeting some other friends the next. Plus my route is all planned and hotels booked.

Sorry. I've actually met up with random 4chan people every time I've been over there so I would have.

>>17116307
Yes. He does that everyday several times a day.
Not sure what it is exactly. Looks heavy.

>>17116992
>4chan is probably not the best place for this
What why?

>>17123050
He probably thinks of 4chan users as being weird and maybe dangerous.

>>17123050
A lot of people here could be hesitant to give up their anonymity, at least i would be

>>17124966
CUTE

>>16936397
What happened to it?

I swear, I go away for a couple years and everything I love dies.
