  • Is there anything better than snow falling and mochi flying through the air towards you? I don't think so. The Ouchijuku Snow Festival in Aizu area is magical.

    The opening drone footage and ambient sounds were enough to make me hit the like button, and I have zero regret

    That felt much longer than 14 minutes...in the best way possible. It's like when you're walking out of the movie theater after a film ends and it's a bit jarring because the experience was so beautiful and immersive that the film almost feels more real than where you are now, and part of you is still 'there.' Gorgeous shots and editing as per usual. What a magical place!

    Hannah, I'm half Japanese, living in Spain. My girlfriend and I always watch your videos and get so inspired to travel to all those beautiful places of my ふる里. I go to Japan sometimes, and even though I'm not very attached to the Japanese culture and people (being only half Japanese is kinda an existencial crisis lol) I'm extremely nostalgic when I see those parts of the video when you're at the train station and there's an ambient sound that transports me to Japan again. I may not feel Japanese as a Japanese social being, but I feel that connection to the nature and that place called Japan. Thank you a lot for letting me go home for a while with your gorgeous films.

    We make a firm style mochi, flatten, and when after it has cooled down, we fry it so it is crispy on the outside and gooey in the inside. Cut it into strips and while still warm, dip in molasses like you would with potato fries with ketchup. Mostly served as a comfort food during the winter time.
