This video provides a detailed look at the fast-paced and unique morning rush at Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station (近鉄四日市駅), a key railway hub located in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture. Filmed on a weekday in May 2025 between 6:15 and 9:15 a.m., the video captures the full spectrum of train activity during a busy commuter window, showcasing a diverse lineup of rolling stock and special livery trains.

The Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station is an interchange on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line (近鉄名古屋線) and Yunoyama Line (湯の山線), making it a critical point for both local residents and travelers accessing regional destinations across Mie and nearby prefectures. The video is meticulously chaptered, detailing appearances by various trains such as the Ise-Shima Liner (23000 series), Urban Liner (21000/21020 series), ACE limited express (22000 series), and the striking “Hinotori” (80000 series), among others. Several trains sport eye-catching liveries, including the Mijumaru wrapping cars and Tobashima Memory wrapping trains, adding flair and vibrancy to the bustling commuter scene.

Viewers will appreciate seeing not only express and limited express services but also various local, semi-express, and special charter runs, such as a rare Hiratacho-bound express and the reserved “Aozora II” (15200 series). Scenes of train coupling, mixed carriage combinations, and the appearance of rarely-seen trains present the operational variety of the Kintetsu network and its significance in everyday life in Mie Prefecture.

Yokkaichi, as the largest city in Mie, is known as an industrial port city, but its major train hub plays a vital role in regional connectivity. Travelers using Kintetsu Lines from here can directly access Nagoya, Ise, and other cities, benefiting from frequent limited express and rapid services. Kintetsu’s colorful train fleet and regular use of specialty wrap designs reflect a broader aspect of Japanese railway culture aimed at attracting train enthusiasts and serving the needs of regular commuters alike.
