Shofuku-ji (Iizumi Kannon 飯泉観音) Temple, Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
坂東巡礼 第５番 勝福寺 （飯泉観音）
Shofuku-ji Temple is located in Odawara city of Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan.
Shofuku-ji Temple is affiliated with the Shingon sect of Mahayana Buddhism. The temple's main religious image is the Eleven-faced Kannon, a bodhisattva who represents maternal compassion. The name of the Kannon is Iizumi Kannon. The temple was first constructed during the Nara period (710-793) in a village called Chiyo. The temple was burned down, and was rebuilt in 1706 in its present location where it became known as Iizumizan Shofuku-ji. The main hall (Hondo) of the temple was reconstructed full of local colors combined with the traditional style of the early Edo Period (1603-1867). The temple is also famous for its Daruma-ichi, a market for dharma dolls which is held annually on December 17 and 18.
さよなら清水寺 Goodbye Kiyomizudera (I got really high in Japan!) [HD! click it!]
I haven't made one of these vids in a while... just pure Japan.
My entire monster clan is in town to visit so we took them to Kiyomizudera in Kyoto. Took the Shinkansen (bullet train) there from Nagoya. It took 36 minutes and cost about $120 roundtrip.
(dera means temple, kiyomizu=literally pure/clear water)
This is, IMHO, the best place to visit in Kyoto. More info on it here.
What you are seeing in this video is the video as I walk down the hill away from Kiyomizudera. It is untouched. Unedited. Uncut. Enjoy!
BTW, I shot this using a Kodak Zi8 with a wide angel lens mounted on a 1.6 meter monopod.
This is the lens I used.
Keef In Japan: Odawara, from Mt.Fudoyama
I went on adventure from Kamonomiya station to Mt.Fudoyama! I didn't know what the mountain was called at first, but the view of Kamonomiya in Odawara was beautiful.
I climbed on a good day and Kamonomiya is only an hour a half from Tokyo by the Shonan Shinjuku Line or Tokaido Line.
On my climb down I saw the sunset, with Mt.Fuji in the distance.

Walking on mt. Oyama (Kanagawa, Japan) - Afuri Shrine Autumn Leaves Illumination - 4K 60fps
Oyama is a beautiful mountain located in Isehara, Kanagawa Prefecture (about 1 hour from Tokyo). Halfway up the mountain lies Afuri Jinja, a beautiful shrine with breathtaking views of the Kanto Plateau. The shrine can be reached either by a one hour long hike up a steep path, or via a 6 minute cable car ride (I opted for the first option).
Every autumn during the season when the leaves turn red, there's a Autumn Leaves Illumination event at the shrine. During the event the nearby shops stay open a bit later than usual, and the mountain can be quite crowded. In fact, I was planning to take the Cable Car down after this event, but the line was so long so I decided to hike down in the dark instead, something that turned out to be much easier than expected.
This was filmed with a Fujifilm X-T3 in 4K 60FPS. The lens used is a Laowa 9mm f2.8, and the camera was mounted on a Zhiyun Crane for stability.
Shot in F-Log and graded in Adobe Premiere CC.
I hope you like this travel video from Tokyo. Please let me know if there are any other places you would like to see me visit, or if you have any other opinions about my movies.

Worlds Most Beautiful Waterfall is in Japan! 4k Drone
Worlds Most Beautiful Waterfall is in Japan! I have seen a lot of waterfalls, but nothing like this. We took the train down through Wakayama to kii katsura which is on the Japanese coast and set off trekking early one morning in the hope of finding a waterfall we had heard of. This Japanese waterfall had caught my attention because of the way if flows through lush green mountains behind a bright orange Japanese temple, I cant wait to share this experience with you. This really is the best waterfall in Asia, possibly the best waterfall in the world! Let me know what you think.

Mount Fuji 5th Station, Hakone Pirate Ship Cruise, Onsen Hotel | Day 10 | Hakone, Japan
Day 10 in Japan, we rented a car in Odawara and drove to Lake Kawaguchiko, which is said to be the nicest place to see Mount Fuji from afar. We saved a lot of money on our airbnb accommodations so we decided to splurge one night for our hotel stay at Fuji Kawaguchiko Onsen Hotel with an on-suite onsen and a view of Lake Kawaguchi. With an included 12 course dinner worth $150, a traditional ryokan experience, spectacular views and a buffet breakfast, the $600 CAD price tag was justified.
Next morning we headed to Mt. Fuji 5th station and tried their black ice cream. After turning our mouths black, we headed back down to the Togendai Port and boarded the Hakone Pirate ship cruise and toured around Lake Ashi.
We ended the night by taking the Romance train into Tokyo where we had conveyor belt suhi at Genki Sushi in Shibuya. A few more days in Tokyo and that'll conclude this Japan series, thanks for watching!

Kamikura Shrine - Wakayama - 神倉神社
Located near the top of Mt. Gongenyama in Wakayama prefecture you first ascend a very steep stone staircase made of 538 steps to find tucked below a huge boulder where the Kumano deities were said to have descended from heaven to earth. Smaller than its main shrine, Kamikura-Jinja is where the famous Oto Matsuri fire festival takes place every year in February. Here worshipers run down the mountain carrying torches offering a unique spectacle rarely seen across Japan!

VISITING AN ANCIENT JAPANESE SAMURAI CASTLE IN HIMEJI
I’m making my way down from Kyoto to Hiroshima on the bullet train now and I wanted to stop off at the famous Himeji castle. Himeji Castle is the largest and most visited castle in Japan, and it was registered in 1993 as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage sites in the country.
It dates back to the Feudal period in Japan and i was super impressed to walk around the castle and imagine what it would have been like back in the days of the Samurai.

LIFE AND DEVOTION IN THE KANNON VILLAGES
Kannon is among the most revered bodhisattva deities in Japanese Buddhism and is often kept as the main object of worship at temples around Kyoto, Nara, and other historic areas of this central region such as Nagahama.
Embodying both a geographic and cultural crossroads in the heart of Japan, Nagahama City encompasses several traditional villages surrounding the northern coast of Lake Biwa, a region known as Kohoku (Lake's north side).
Here in these communities, we find the continuation of a unique and centuries-old tradition to preserve the Kannon.
Known as a caring protector, Kannon gives but also receives protection from these villages as they pass the deity statues down from generation to generation with gratitude and devotion that has lasted since medieval times. See how the spirit of traditional Japan lives on even today in these communities.

Exploring Komagatake - Mt Hakone Japan
Mt. Komagatake is a 1357-meter high lava dome, created by a Hakone volcanic eruption 40,000 years ago. Almost 2400 years ago, the top of this mountain became a holy precinct for mountain ascetics. They deeply felt a sacred dignity for Mt. Koyama (the highest point of the Hakone Mountain range) and Mt. Fuji beyond it.
In 757 (around the time Priest Ganjin established Toshodai-ji Temple in Nara), Hakone Shrine was established at the Ashinoko lakeside for the purpose of praying to Mt. Koyama. People never climbed Mt. Komagatake except on special, rare occasions because they were afraid. After that, for a long period, people held ceremonies and festivals at the lakeside Hakone Shrine.
This religious practice eventually changed, and in 1964, Yasujiro Tsutsumi, a Japanese politician and businessman (and also the founder of the Saison Group) donated a hall of worship for the top of Mt. Komagatake. Tsutsumi had already helped to successfully develop Hakone as a resort area, so he had a lot of power. The hall was named Hakone Shrine Mototsumiya, and is now admired together with the original lakeside Hakone Shrine.
Komagatake Ropeway
We can reach the top of Mt. Komagatake in only 7 minutes by using a comfortable and convenient ropeway. The ropeway’s lakeside station is at Hakone-en. The total length of the ropeway is 1800 meters, and a return ticket for adults costs 1050 yen. Going up and facing the mountain, you’ll see Mt. Fuji and a chain of Hakone mountains on the left; Odawara, Yokohama, Ohshima Island, and Sagami Bay on the right; and Ashinoko Lake and Suruga Bay behind you. Below you is an afforested area of Japanese cedars halfway up the mountain.
The view from the top
The top of the mountain is covered with undergrowth only. There are no trees, indicating that a lava flow there hardened, and so plants couldn’t grow well. But basically, the paths are well prepared. At the very first, your eye will be captured by red shrine pillars and a red gate against the blue sky. It’s so impressive! If you go left behind the ropeway station, a magnificent Mt. Fuji view is waiting for you. If you go along the path to the right, you will look down a gentle ridge of mountains, and view Sagami Bay and Odawara beyond them.
Then go ahead up to the shrine. Just before the red shrine gate, there is a rock with a sacred straw rope. It is called “Bakou-seki” meaning that God came down on the rock with his white horse. They say there are some holes in it from where the horse stepped. Go and stand in front of the shrine. If you feel something, please feel free to join your hands in prayer before the altar.
You might wonder about some cube-shaped rocks that are scattered around in the back of the shrine. Those rocks had been used for various rituals in the old days. We have a great view of Mt. Fuji from there, and I can imagine that those ceremonies were surely performed under Mt. Fuji’s grace.

Have you ever seen Japanese wind chimes? They are called 風鈴 (fuurin) and they are hung outside of houses and buildings.When the wind blows, they make a beautiful, soothing chiming sound that will make you feel very relaxed.According to traditional Japanese thought, 風鈴 (fuurin) also have the ability to ward off evil spirits.
Along with Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples in Japan are considered among the most numerous, famous and important religious buildings. The Japanese word for a Buddhist temple is tera , and the same kanji also has the pronunciation ji, so temple names often end with -ji or -dera. There is also another ending, -in (normally used for minor temples). Famous temples as Enryaku-ji, Kiyomizu-dera, and Kotoku-in illustrate the naming patterns.
Buddhology is the study of the Buddha or Buddhahood.[1] The term is also used as a synonym for Buddhist Studies, contemporary academic investigation of Buddhism.[2] There are varied and nuanced understandings of the precise nature of a Buddha expressed in the different Buddhist traditions and movements.

Sengoku Musou 3: Z - Ranmaru’s Story 5 | Incident at Honnoji
Ranmaru's Honnoji is a bit different than usual. You still just go from point A to point B with no allies other than No and Nobunaga, but we at least have Gracia as an enemy here. The most interesting thing is the ending, where we see Ranmaru wearing the flower that Gracia gave him and saving her from the burning temple. Pretty nice of him, especially considering this is the guy that has the most faith in Nobunaga and would want to go down with him more than anyone. Nice to see some actual character growth.
