Episode 4:

The first episode from my multi-part Japan Rail Series — a visual journey showcasing a variety of destinations during a 21-day rail itinerary across Japan. With an emphasis on capturing photography and video of aesthetic locations during the winter time, this journey aims to inspire people to visit the beautiful urban and rural destinations of Japan!

This first episode covers our journey from Sapporo in Hokkaido, through Hakodate and onto Ginzan Onsen. We visited viewpoints at the Mt. Moiwa ropeway and Sapporo TV Tower followed by dinner and drinks at the Sapporo Bier Garten. Onwards to Hakodate via a 3-hour train journey, we then travelled another ropeway up Mt. Hakodate. The following day's 7-hour train journey, lead us towards Ginzan Onsen, a quaint traditional village famous for its onsen ryokans and scenic snowy landscape during winter.

This whole trip and itinerary was planned and paid for independent of any tourism boards or businesses. The locations and accommodations are our genuine preferences and recommendations, as standard across the content on this channel.

January 2013

Japanese spring, summer, autumn, winter

“…when people ask me why i keep going to Japan, my answer is always referred to the nature and the beauty of the countryside, I'm not overwhelmed anymore by the “technology, order and safety” side of it, that is just.. useful. What i like is the people, the nature and the respect and connection they have to each other.
In an island that is pretty much covered with mountains they managed to keep their forests, rivers, ocean, beaches and mountains pristine. Of course not everyone is like that and some big companies don’t care that much, but the gross of the population is quite conscious and thankful of it.
I met many locals that were impressed by some of the places i visited and captured during my trips, and couldn’t believe that they went all the way to Hawaii without going first to Okinawa, or to the European alps without traveling to their own alps; so i feel the responsibility to share and show you some of the most amazing landscapes i visited during my last year in the land of the rising sun…”
