The first time I watched this documentary is when I was a sophomore at college. Since then, every time I wear down and feel exhausted because of the rat race of city life, I watch this documentary again and again, It helps ease my mind. I wish someday, I will have a chance to visit Satoyama. hopefully!
I have been there last year - I insisted in experiencing it for myself. And it is lusciously beautiful - you are literally in the world of 'My Neighbour Tottoro'
I feel the same as you, come to stop by to tell you that Satoyama is the name of “thing like in documentary, natural paddle field etc.” is not the name of village. When Japanese people want to mention something important, they usually have a nick name for that thing like “wabi-Sabi” words
I added this to my watch list years ago and now I'm in tears on how beautifully narrated this is. How fragile the life of these creatures are but they still keep living. This documentary teaches us to be more compassionate to all living creatures and live in harmony with the natural world. Aaah I can't even describe exactly how I feel after watching this gem
There will never be another Sir David Attenborough! He truly has the golden voice! I love that he is still doing these documentaries on BBC! I love Planet Earth HD.
Watching this again. My 5th time. I just enjoy the sceneries and the calmness. So serene. Brings peace to my heart and mind. It reminds me of my childhood and how simple and pure life was then.
This was beautiful and so very educational. The sequencing of the lives of all the insects,,and the rice, was amazing and wonderful way to teach , or remind us of mans relationship with nature.
James Merryman ...I am Asian to say the least. All I am saying is that even children in, Europe, the Caribbean; the children who grew up near nature have appreciated its glory and what it offers. Urbanized society or not, those that grew next to the wild have an understanding and a respect unlike those who only see it in the media, such as film or videos.
What a beautiful project I love David Attenborough... He is one of my inspiration that I am a voice over actor today Loved the music score... Soothing... Grasping and overall magical Beautifully shot ... The camera team has put in a lot of creativity and effort to find the best possible angles ... Amazing timing... Wow Thankfull to the director, BBC and the producer for this edutaining documentary. Much love ✌️❤️😎🤗
*And what do you plan on doing ?* If you've done any research/have any kind of real passion for this you must have ideas on how to improve things using your environmental studies diploma, so please go ahead.
Wina B , Good fortune to you and Cody. The quality of life in the future of all peoples resides on the backs of people like you. Thank you and blessings upon you.
Such a beautiful video, showing man and nature in harmony, a truly special and rare scene in our modern times. Thank you for making and posting this, so inspirational.
It is now March 2020 and, as the spectre of coronavirus makes so many people ill and fills others with fear, this lovely documentary has such a healing, calming effect on the spirit...
How beautifully u made it sir David Attenborough thank u and Godbless for the awesome video and thank u for Japanese people specially satoyama people who care and protect their land n nature...
What a blessed soul this farmer is, to lead a humble life in such a heavenly place. One with nature. His existence there serves only to culture, manicure, maintain and preserve a balance that respects and causes all forms of life to thrive there. A tradition unchanged in 1000 years or more. This is how man is supposed to live his life. Heaven on Earth.
Because of this documentary, I have a chance to visit “kabata” natural well all year long in Takashima. That the same day with the local Television had taken the documentary of “ A harie kabata”. We from Thailand place that we can’t preserve natural water all year long anymore, so jealously Japan have many places like this( Gujo Hachiman, all so).
For those who find this interesting, I recommend watching A series called Begin Japanology. It describes many of the unique and interesting cultural events and lifestyles of Japan, like Satoyama!
If I Have Lots of Money, I Can Definitely Travel To This Place. It's Like Heaven on Earth. This is The First Video That I Have Watched Over 70-80 Times. Very Heart Touching Video. Thanks For Upload This Video. Really Very Nice Documentary. 💖💖💖💖💖
This is so exquisite. Like many other viewers, when I am stressed and hard-put by life, I return to the peace and beauty of this place, by way of You Tube..and am so thankful I can still 'visit'...
This is really beautiful because people respect nature especially the water. In the Philippines, a lot of people who lived by rivers and streams, they threw trash ad swim with it and fish with it.
Did a check on Google to match the pictures of the rice terraces. Could be a village in Takashimaya, shiga prefecture, north west of Lake Biwa. And it's less than an hour by train from Kyoto! Now perhaps paradise has a name.
@@eddy-ol1sy There are rice terraces in most rice growing countries sweety. The terracing began in the Philipines less than a thousand years ago as taro cultivation whereas the rce terraces in China are over 2,500 years old and in Japan over 3,000 years. Not forgetting Cambodia, Indonesia and so on.
If these documentaries are available in the US on a DVD, I would most certainly purchase them all! This is the way I feel humans and nature were meant to exist! :-) if I become an ex patriot, this is what I would love to live!
isooolove that butterfly@the end--which symbolize possibility after all hardship--..and the size and bein fragile aren't hindrances for it to do the purpose GOD HATH APPOINTED IT!!! ..gorgeous video--i jz closed my eyes on the "callerpillar" and "snake" part--am scared of them--my weakness!..GODBLESS u
how is it possible? 1 country, an island so beautiful with people who clearly recognize, respect and preserve it. And at the same time in the same country and the same people behave like animals, and slaughter dolphins and whales as if it is nothing.
Very Good like its part II, Amazing capture of nature... Kudos to entire team... great work appreciated very much... same creatures, rice crop, etc in India as well in farming... But with better technologies, clean and clear environment... 👌👌👌👍👍👍

I have no idea how many times I have watched it. :=)
When i need a peace of mind satoyama doc. Is always my choice 👍👍👍👍
01:37 'This is a land that has been touched by people, yet the people tread lightly upon it.' A poetic and perfect summary of what the satoyama is.
Satoyama the name I always remember..I wish satoyama remains always same beautiful n caring nature ...
"JAPAN ,one of the most beautiful country ,& good quality of gadgets ,with a beautiful flowers ",

this is honestly incredible cinematography, im blown away, the shots used and captured are stunning, its insane how this was put together
The music is so peaceful..l.😍😍😍
There will never be another Sir David Attenborough! He truly has the golden voice! I love that he is still doing these documentaries on BBC! I love Planet Earth HD.
It is beautiful to see the people and nature lived side by side as the season pass them from spring to winter I love it and the music is so peaceful.
Yeah, especially the opening music.
Watching this again. My 5th time. I just enjoy the sceneries and the calmness. So serene. Brings peace to my heart and mind. It reminds me of my childhood and how simple and pure life was then.
Sir David attenborough is such an amazing narrator!!

Thank you for posting this lovely, excellently made documentary on the ecology of Satoyama .
35:50 This is true for most children near and around nature most of their lives. Collecting and sparring insects were my childhood too.

Phenomenal views looked amazing scenes in Japan, I like the landscaping in Japan make me to stay there all my life
I'm in love with Sotoyama... i wish i visit there before I die...
O how much I love Japan and its people.
I've been listening to Sir David Attenborough in these Nature Documentaries since I was a kid in the early 90's in Fiji
I think a lot of countries with polluted rivers and polluted nature should learn from Satoyama. it is so very refreshing watching this.
What a beautiful project
I love David Attenborough... He is one of my inspiration that I am a voice over actor today

Great feature. I like the way the narrator near the end described the water scorpion as "not breathing, not moving"... then it moved lol!
No words to describe this colossal beauty of nature... But I'd say this is absolutely phenomenal...
The simpliest life i wanted when i retired here in Japan. The Beauty of village life
This is my fourth time watching this. Still likes it. 👍🙏
Had a great time watching this. Thank you
Simply SATOYAMA!!!!
Waiting for more beautiful videos like this...

OMG ! i wanna live there !!! i am so sick of city life
hui yin yap me too :'(
Me too! Living in LA is too much! Take me with you when you decided to move there 😊
My dream life
Oneday i will go there
Only a fantasy ... when you live in a village it gets so repetitive and boring .... live there a a month or two a year is perfect ...
Did a check on Google to match the pictures of the rice terraces. Could be a village in Takashimaya, shiga prefecture, north west of Lake Biwa. And it's less than an hour by train from Kyoto! Now perhaps paradise has a name.
jason Lim rice terraces is in Philippines
Philippines is a godforsaken shithole that can't hold a candle to Japan, no offense 😂 !
Желаю удачи well we strive to be better however slow it be and none taken
there are other rice terraces in some part of the world
