LOOK UP! | Daisen, Akita, Japan
In this town, smiles come easy.
Look up.
A mysterious band of musicians appears in front of a high school boy, frustrated by his inability to play basketball due to an injury, and others who are feeling similarly downcast.
As if prompted by the colorful band’s music, the townspeople raise their eyes towards the sky. What awaits them there?
With accompaniment from the Omagari Philharmonic Wind Society, this short movie embodies Daisen City’s reputation as the town of fireworks.

Japan's Most Terrifying Bridge: Eshima Ohashi ★ ONLY in JAPAN #33
It's been nicknamed the ROLLER COASTER BRIDGE because of it's super steep slope and appearance of being a bridge to the sky.
That's the Eshima Ohashi Bridge straddling Shimane and Tottori prefecture in Japan.
Facts about the Eshima Ohashi:
★ 1,446 meters long
★ 250 meters of continupus concrete in the center (the third longest Ramen bridge in the world!)
★ 6.1% grade slope on the Shimane Prefecture side
★ 5.1% grade on the Tottori side
★ The bridge needed to be high in the center to allow large shops to pass under.
☆ From the Shimane side, you can get the optical illusion view at the end of the street by the sea.
☆ If you have a good telephoto lens, go even further to the other side of the sea for a better shot. (Map below)
The bridge has a good pedestrian footpath on both sides of the road.
Bicycles are not allowed on the footpath so stay on the main road with the car, to the left side.
There is an observation point on the top that offers sweeping views all the way to Daisen (mountain).
The closest major access point is Yonago Station and airport on the Sea of Japan. From there, take a train to Sakaiminato and rent a bicycle or grab a taxi.
Sakaiminato is also famous for Japanese anime and the main street is like a museum of monsters!
The bridge is a 20 minute ride from Sakai Minato.
Take food with you from the station.

Tottori - A&J Japan Travel
We spent time in the gorgeous scenery of Tottori Prefecture.
We stayed at Kozeniya, a friendly ryokan with private use onsen:
While in Tottori, we visited the famously expansive Tottori Sand Dunes and hiked in the area around Tottori Tōshōgū Shrine. The wind was incredibly strong when we visited the area, so strong it made the sand dance around and would regularly violently shake my camera.

Abare Matsuri: A Festival of Grand Lanterns and Towering Torches | Nippon.com: Japan in Video
Every summer local communities on the Noto Peninsula hold kiriko festivals. The particulars of the events vary greatly from one site to another, but they all feature the energetic carrying about of kiriko floats, which are decorated lanterns mounted on large wooden frameworks. The Noto kiriko festivals are a tradition dating back the Edo period (1603–1868).
The Noto kiriko festival season starts in Ushitsu, a seaside community in Noto-chō, which puts on a two-day event called Abare Matsuri, literally, “Get Wild” Festival, on the first Friday and Saturday of July. During the day on Friday, lantern floats are paraded around the town, and that evening the illuminated floats borne by teams of enthusiastic carriers circle the flames of five pine torches showering sparks from a height of seven meters.
This festival originated some 350 years ago when Ushitsu was suffering from an epidemic. Residents enshrined a branch spirit of Gozu Tennō, a disease-averting deity worshiped at Yasaka Jinja in Kyoto, and paraded a grand lantern to give thanks for the cure of those affected.

Tokyo's Secret Island Paradise | AOGASHIMA ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Jurassic Park may be the first thing that comes to mind when you see Aogashima Island from the air - but yes, THIS IS TOKYO!
It's famous for having a volcano inside a volcano surrounded by dense jungle. It's also considered the smallest town in Japan and the hardest place in Japan to get to. There is no direct transportation to Aogashima. These facts are what make Aogashima the best kept secret in Tokyo!
★ The Ogasawara video is out!
Travel 1000km further for Tokyo's distant island paradise!
The island is unspoiled.
The pristine jungles and beautiful ocean views are like scenes from the movies.
HOW TO GET TO AOGASHIMA
Air
▶︎ Haneda Airport (Tokyo) to Hachijojima / 50 minutes
▶︎ Helicopter to Aogashima - 20 minutes / 11,530 Yen
Note: You have to take the first flight to catch the helicopter or spend the night. Only 1 helicopter flight per day.
Sea (Ferry)
▶︎ Takeshiba Pier (Tokyo) to Hachijojima 11-12 hours / Tokai Kisen Line /
▶︎ Hachijojima to Aogashima / 3 hours / Izu Shoto Kaihatsu Line
Note: The ferry to Aogashima is often canceled so don't rely on this if you need to be back to Tokyo for a flight etc. It can be delayed for as long as 1 week depending on weather!
WHY IS THIS THE HARDEST PLACE TO GET TO?
The town is located 200 meters up off the sea. There is no airport and this island is only accessible by helicopter and ferry. The port is one of the most challenging to dock at in the world so when the sea is rough or the wind is too strong, ferries are often canceled. Visitors may be stranded here for a week or more if the weather turns bad.
MUST SEE PLACES on AOGASHIMA
★ Ao-Chu Shochu distillery
★ Aogashima heliport
★ The volcanic island steamer (for lunch)
★ The island sauna
★ Oyamatenbo Park (Observation Area) for the view over the crater and the sky at night
★ Aogashima Port
★ Maruyama & Shrine
FOOD TO TRY
★ Torinabe (Chicken Soup Pot)
★ Ashitaba (an island leaf / herb that's used in cooking)
★ Island fish in season
Note: you can ask your inn about trying these at scheduled meals
THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT VISITING AOGASHIMA
1) You must have a reservation to stay somewhere before arriving. Lodging is limited. Call ahead, even for camping.
2) There is an ATM at the post office but come with cash just in case
3) Helicopters are often sold out a month in advance. Ferry tickets are easy to get but your departure date may not be convenient.
4) Walking is possible everywhere but many tourists rent a car. Other tourists may pick you up if you hitchhike. It takes 80 minutes to walk from the heliport to Aogashima pier.

Special thank you to Akira-san, Yoshino-san, Kyoko-san and Moemi-san and all the kind residents of Aogashima who made me feel a part of the island family!
I stayed on the island from July 23 to July 30.

Museum in Nagano Prefecture Houses Paintings from Hokusai’s Late Years | Nippon.com: Japan in Video
Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), Japan’s world-renowned woodblock artist, also produced masterful brush paintings. A number of these works now form the core of the collection at the Hokusai Museum (Hokusai-Kan) in Obuse, a small town in Nagano Prefecture. When he was in his eighties, Hokusai made four visits to Obuse at the invitation of Takai Kōzan, a local magnate, and devoted himself to painting. At Kōzan’s request, he painted festival floats for two local districts, Higashimachi and Kanmachi. Particularly striking are the images of a dragon and a phoenix that he painted on the ceiling of the Higashimachi float. Both paintings rank among the masterpieces of Hokusai’s final years. The two floats—Hokusai’s only three-dimensional works—are on permanent display at the museum.

Cleaning murky water with a technology from Japan
It is a flocculant, substance that promotes a super fast reaction in clumping of particles especially for using in treating waste water(10-20secs). Highly recommended to be used in sedimentation process ( first stage ) at drinking water processing plant during high turbidity such as 300 NTU and above. This technology of polymer is a joint research byproduct of a Japanese University and one of the giant private companies in Japan.
Material compositions are as follows: 1.Proprietary Polymers 2.Portland Cements 3.Limestones 4.Soda Ash 5.Aluminium Sulphate
