japan compilation my views
song: cyclone by 12012
I hope hiroshima didnt offend anyone
Description of what is what:
At first you see the shibuya crossing, the largest pedestrian crossing in the world, in Tokyo, filmed from the starbucks.
Then you see me cycling through Kyoto around 9-10 PM
The photos:
The golden pavilion, Kyoto
A buddha statue in Nagoya, near Motoyama
The big statue insite Todai-ji, Nara
The japanese flag is the one that flies at the hiroshima memorial museum. Sadly, every time I tried to photograph it, the wind turned in a bad direction -_-;;
Then you see a model of hiroshima after, before, and after the atomic explosion, to show the difference, merged with the photo of the flag.
Then another model in the Hiroshima memorial museum, the orange ball depicting where the bomb went off. (entry to that museum is just ¥50 or about half a dollar :O)
Then you see a park in Nara, filmed from a bench.
Then you see me feeding the deer at Nara park. Quite awesome animals ^^
The photos are a seaside city/village southeast of nagoya, beyond the chubu centrair airport. Sadly I do not know the name of the village. Then you see a picture of an expressway there (they do drive on the left hand side!)
Then you see me at a temple close to the Kiyomizu-dera. The people there try to walk the distance between 2 stones with their eyes closed. legend says that if you do it, you will find your final love. But if you need help walking it, you will need help finding love. I needed help o.O but thankfully some japanese girls shouted lefuto and raito ^^ how nice =)
Then you see a photo of Himeji-castle, then from inside the castle and then from the himeji-gardens (2x).
Then the 700 series shinkansen (hikari Rail star, I was on a rail pass)
Then some photos of the endless tori pathway near Kyoto, i forgot the name.
Then follow some photos of Hiroshima, with the bombed dome at first, the sadoko statue and the poem, the crane bird origami art, then some rapid photos of stuff in the museum. I am not too sure what is what, but believe me: its serious...
then we see some photos taken on the miyajima ferry, going to the floating torii, and a photo of the torii taken from the temple at miyajima.
then the view from the top of miyajima, and then you see me all sweaty (extremely hot XD ich danke den Deutscher der das Photo genommen hat)
then some photos of the temple in kyoto with the zen-stone garden. I wish I remembered that name as well -.-;;
then you see a festival in nagoya, with cosplayers walking by.
then you see me again, eating hiroshima-style okonomiyaki
then you see some young children lighting fireworks. It was fun as the excursion was also for them to learn the english language. Glad I was of some help =) [even though Im dutch]
Then you see the beginning of the nagoya festival, i will upload the true video later as the music is just awesome, the orchestra carried around

Yoshie Fujiwara (1898-1976) was born in Osaka, His mother Kinu Sakata was a geisha, who worked in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture. His father, Neil B. Reid, was Scottish, however, he was not raised by his father. Tokuzaburo Fujiwara adopted him, from whom he received the family name Fujiwara. Even so, his true father met him later in his life and put Yoshie into school. Yoshie's mother died in his youth, and Reid remained a bachelor all his life. There is Reid's grave in Shimonoseki and Reid's boarding house later became the Fujiwara Yoshie Memorial Museum.
In 1934, he established the Fujiwara Opera and became a notable figure of Japanese opera history.
