From the JR Tokaido line (NOT from Shinkansen line), at Fujigawa river bridge in Shizuoka prefecture, we can see the very beautiful Mr. Fuji view. Compared with the Shinkansen line, the Tokaido line has much fewer bridge pillars and trains run slower.
Same way, compared with car drives using new roads with just straight routes with a lot of tunnels, old local train lines still use old routes that follow river flow or sea coast and trains run slower. That provides us a much better chance of meeting with beautiful Japanese scenery.

新幹線では無く、東海道線の富士川鉄橋から見えた富士山です。やはり景色を楽しむには、古い線路を使っている地方の在来線の方が素敵ですね。

Compared with car rides, trains often use old days tracks that follow seaside lines, valleys with river flows rather than go straight with tunnels. So, we can face various beautiful scenery of mountains, rice fields, ocean or river views.
