Late night rain walk in old Japanese town // 4K HDR

Показать описание
Wandering the streets of Takayama, Japan, where there are many old japanese houses that have been preserved over the years.

Nestled in the heart of the Japanese Alps amidst a lush natural landscape, Takayama's historic district (高山) stands as a testament to Japan's prosperous Edo period (1603-1868). This ancient merchant city in Gifu prefecture has long been celebrated for the exceptional woodcraft produced by its local artisans. During the 8th century, when the city couldn't pay its taxes in rice, as was customary, it provided the remarkable talents of its woodworkers as an alternative. Presently, Takayama is often referred to as "the little Kyoto of the Japanese Alps," thanks to its pedestrian-friendly streets adorned with traditional houses.

Experience a Timeless Journey in Takayama's Old Town
Situated just east of the Miyagawa River that flows through the city center, Takayama's historic district (古い町並, Furui Machinami) is a well-preserved former merchant area. It consists of two official preservation districts for traditional buildings, featuring numerous Edo-period merchant houses characterized by latticed bay windows and wooden trellises. The slender facades were initially designed to minimize property taxes.

Traditional Japanese houses line a street in Takayama
Takayama's old town's Sannomachi street showcases preserved Edo-period buildings.
During the day, the streets are marked by noren shop curtains and sugidama (cedar sprig balls hung in sake breweries). As night descends, and the tourists retreat, a serene quiet envelops the neighborhood. The gentle glow of lights emerging from behind the wooden lattices transports you back to a time of ancient elegance and enchantment.

Apologies for the constant video cuts and ugly light flares, the rain was blowing sideways so constantly had to wipe the lens. Upon returning to Tokyo, sent the lens in for repair, as I suspected after this video that the lens coating has worn out over these past 2 years. In the end, decided to get the entire lens replaced, so for future videos we will be back to the clear, beautifully circular tiny water balls ☔
Side note: while filming this video, I felt the need to constantly look back over my shoulder, as if someone was following me...the spirits are strong in this area

Houses and streeets in European towns are basically made of stones. However, houses in traditional Japanese towns are made of woods, which gives me a peace of mind. Absolutely love Japan's peaceful atmosphere. It's unique beyond comparison !!

Amazing...!

I've noticed, since I got an HDR-capable monitor, that one of the amazing things with HDR is how good partial reflections look.
Like, in the window of cars, and so on, the reflections of the environment are so smooth, like you've never seen them before.
