Journey Through Japan - Travel Documentary

Few countries in the world evoke so much imagination as Japan, a place where ancient cultures and traditions almost seamlessly mix with modern life. From bustling megacities to friendly, charming villages, and from stunning natural landscapes to tranquil shrines and temples, Japan is among the most diverse travel destinations in the world. In this video, I take you back to 2012, when I had the chance to travel through Japan for 3,5 weeks. This is, in a way, an historical journey, as many things have changed since then. But I still hope this video gives you some travel inspiration, or at least provides a glimpse into this intriguing place.

This vibrant metropolis is the political and economic heartland of the country, but also brims with culture and traditions. Here, we explore the crowded commercial neighborhoods and shopping streets of Shinjuku and Shibuya, but also admire ancient temples and beautiful parks. We also take a look at the massive Tsukiji market, one of the largest wholesale fish and seafood markets in the world. As we leave the big city behind, we discover a land of small mountain villages and friendly cities. These include Hakone, famous for views towards the iconic Mount Fuji volcano, Matsumoto with its ancient castle, and Takayama, boasting a beautiful historic center. The next destination is Nagoya, Japan’s fourth largest city, where we attend the Nagoya Matsuri (festival) celebrations. Colorful parades and processions showcase many important historical figures, legends, and myths, including geishas, samurai, feudal lords, and other characters. We continue our way to Kyoto, one of Japan’s most influential cities, and considered the nation’s cultural and spiritual center. Kyoto boasts an incredible array of temples, shrines and gardens, that include Kiyomizu (overlooking the city’s skyline), the Toji temple with its five storied pagoda, and the popular Golden and Silver Pavillions. We also stroll through the mesmerizing Fushimi Inari, the Path of Philosophy, the Shosei En Gardens, and the picturesque Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. We travel on the ‘Shinkansen’ (bullet train) towards Hiroshima, known as the first city in the world to be targeted and destroyed by a nuclear weapon. Here we visit the moving Peace Memorial Park, where people come to pay their respects, and learn more about what happened. Easily reached by ferry from Hiroshima is Miyajima, a friendly island famous for its floating torii gate. The island also has a beautiful interior with thick forests and walking trails. We finish our journey through Japan by visiting two of the most imposing volcanoes, Mount Asosan and Sakurajima, where we witness Mother Nature at work.
