This video features a detailed journey on the Uzushio No. 6 Limited Express, operated by JR Shikoku, traveling from Tokushima to Okayama. The travelogue is both nostalgic and timely, as this particular route is set to change significantly following the March 2025 timetable revision. After this update, the Uzushio Limited Express will operate only between Tokushima and Takamatsu, making this intercity through-service to Okayama a memorable last run for rail enthusiasts.

Starting in Tokushima, the video captures the streamlined beauty of the train ride as it traverses the island of Shikoku and crosses over to the main island of Honshu. Along the way, viewers experience the intricate switchbacks—a unique feature of this route—and several scenic and regional station stops. The Uzushio Limited Express is especially notable for its comfort and frequency, running once every hour to meet the high demand in the region.

The trip gives a glimpse of the changing rail landscape in Japan and highlights how JR Shikoku's services intersect with routes such as the Marine Liner rapid train, which also connects to Okayama. The commentary emphasizes the operational efficiency and geographical layout that influence the ongoing adjustments to timetables and service routes.

Okayama, the final destination in the video, is a key rail hub in western Japan, linking the Sanyo Shinkansen and local JR lines. Its role in regional transport is vital, making connections between Shikoku and Honshu possible. The journey on the Uzushio Limited Express offers both a practical transit option and a cultural ride through southern Japan’s rail traditions.
