Joe, your photos are amazing. I really would like to see your take on some of the places I love in Japan: 1. Okunoin in Koyasan 2. Kami-shikimi Kumano-imasu Jinja (Shrine) in Kumamoto 3. The approach path to Togakushi Jinja (Shrine) in Nagano especially in snow 4. Kumano Kodo path 5. Autumn leaves in the mountains of Ura-Bandai 6. The remains of Takeda Castle in clouds 7. Reflections of Tsuta-numa Pond in Aomori or Mishaka-ike Pond in Nagano 8. Cherry blossoms in Yoshino 9. Autumn leaves of Keisoku-ji Temple in Shiga. 10. Oirase Torrent in Aomori
I have watched pretty much all your Japan videos and love all your content. This one in particular I think is one of the best out yet. Also love the Winter Train Travel series. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to what's next!
This video was edited and storytelling so beautifully Tokyo looks so amazing and double salute to the Government for giving you guys the opportunity to show off how epic Tokyo is ❤️👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇹🇹.
I really don't understand why you don't have more than 206K subscribers ... you do spend a lot of time in Japan, have you thought maybe some collaboration with Japanese TH-camrs ? Today I discovered Ryoya Takashima, he shoots Fuji and speaks more than decent English (his channel is in Japanese). I am thinking more collaboration may help to grow your channel. Other than that, this is a fantastic start to 2020 and I can watch your videos over and over again, there is always something new to discover at each viewing !
Fabulous spirit to the vid, I was totally in awe much props to the Geisha I was not expecting to see that glass downed in ONE!! 👏👏👏 I haven’t been to Japan in autumn I think i really need to go
I love your videos in Tokyo. I see things I don’t see anywhere else with such a nice calm and chill vibe. I keep watching them over and over. It gives me so much inspiration to try and take pictures at places I don’t normally go to or pay attention to things I don’t normally pay attention to. Thank you.
Hi Joe, Finland calling! Stayed in Asakusa back in October 2018 and got those night shots as well - but without the rain. Lovely colour grading, just fantastic.
Fantastic video and shots, Joe! Love your channel, started to re-watch your older Tokyo videos, both on this channel and Jellys Journeys. Love your Tokyo/Japan videos, such a nice vibe. Quality content!
Looks so nice. Got some rain in Tokyo last winter. Tried to get som pictures shot through my umbrella. Didn’t quite get what I wanted, but I’ll try again an other time.
Both umbrellas and cameras are incredibly clumsy things to be handling in a city as busy as Tokyo. It definitely takes a lot of patience to get the results you're after!
Another goodie Joe! looked like a lot of fun making this one, great to be noticed for the wonderful light you guys show Japan in, Loving the wide aspect ratio too (almost fills my 21:9 monitor) :)
I've just bought an X100F last month and instantly became addicted to your channel and your content. Congratulations on your incredible work and for inspiring us.
I m from Tokyo around "Mitake" area. I m really happy because very famous photographer visited my city and I can watch on the your channel!!! Welcome and "Arigato";)
Great Job!!!! This Video show real Japanese entertainment!!!!! But almost Japanese people have never been to such a Geisha entertainment place. It's worth to try and enjoy. GREAT!!!!!
You are doing a marvelous job of convincing me to return to Japan Joe. The last time I was shooting with a Pentax K1000 but I guess I'll have to take my XH-1 this time. Thanks for another great video 🙏
Yeah I've been using slo-mo a little more at times recently, just to change things up a bit. Glad you're liking the look of the image, I've been using the GH5 for a couple of years now and feel like I've gone from strength to strength on making the most of it!
The video looks absolutely stunning on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The colors, the contrast, the tone, great job! I think you should shoot an HDR video. Happy New Year and thank you for the beautiful content.
New subscriber and already addicted 👌This and Jelly Journeys channel both delightful 💜💜💜 Passionate, fun, informative and beautifully shot videos 💜💜💜 Thank you both 🙏🙏🙏
hahah Joe, so this is the video I've been waiting for. I recognized the scene where you chin-ed the knob on the x-h1 😂 love it! After our trip end of 2018, autumn is definitely now my favourite season to visit Japan too!
Since when is your video 60 fps? I'm not too sure about it but it looks so different in this video. Tokyo looks so exceptionally wonderful in your video!
hi joe i am fan of your street photography i have one question do you use variable nd filter in night. can we use variable nd filter in night street photography
Hello Joe and Elly, oh the rain, camera and yes it is a challenge but those shots, oh yea keep them coming. Ahh those photos, yep must get some more of those for sure, so enjoying this, oh Japan missing you. Autumn leaves, bridges, water Fruity nice, hey Joe how heavy is your camera bag mate? What lens did you use for those night shots, there really lovely, right I have steak and noodles tonight, take care you guys.
Autumn leaves and bridges, a cracking combo for sure! The camera bag when carrying everything (flying/transition between cities) is around 10-12kg including MacBook Pro. When out and about shooting, it's probably about 6-7kg
I enjoyed watching this video. I have been to Japan twice, both times in the Fall and thoroughly enjoyed it. Out of curiosity, you mention that umbrellas are either clear or made of good materials. I have to ask, how does an umbrella being made of good materials affect your shots?
Hi Joe, is this video taken early Autumn(ie in October)? as I know it usually don't rain much in November. Anyway simply love your videos and adore the umbrella shots.:)
I have been in Japan and Tokyo a few times and this video captures the atmosphere in an excellent way. By the way do you speak Japanese (just out of curiousity)?
Glad you enjoyed it! My Japanese gets better with each visit. I'm still very much a beginner, but in the last couple of years I've definitely found myself understanding the vast majority of social conversations happening around me, even if I can't fully say my own response.
I probably have never seen a rainy travel video on TH-cam. Takes some skills to make a grey, rainy day look beautiful, but you succeeded!
Shooting in the rain is one of my favourite scenarios, but equally one of the hardest to achieve decent narrative. Glad you liked it!
Tokyo is so flipping beautiful!
Joe, your photos are amazing. I really would like to see your take on some of the places I love in Japan:
1. Okunoin in Koyasan
2. Kami-shikimi Kumano-imasu Jinja (Shrine) in Kumamoto

4. Kumano Kodo path
5. Autumn leaves in the mountains of Ura-Bandai
6. The remains of Takeda Castle in clouds
7. Reflections of Tsuta-numa Pond in Aomori or Mishaka-ike Pond in Nagano
8. Cherry blossoms in Yoshino
9. Autumn leaves of Keisoku-ji Temple in Shiga.
10. Oirase Torrent in Aomori
Japan is my favorite country by far... WONDERFUL video Joe! You never disappoint 😉
I have watched pretty much all your Japan videos and love all your content. This one in particular I think is one of the best out yet. Also love the Winter Train Travel series. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to what's next!
Great work mate. Your Japan vlogs and photography are a cut above most others imo.

日本を、東京を愛してくれてありがとう🇯🇵🇹🇹

Luv the way you put your videos together , nice work chap
Wonderful video 🔝🔝🔝,
seeing Tokyo is always a unique emotion for me .thank you💯💯💯🇮🇹
I’m a Japanese and totally agree with Elly. October and November is the best time to travel in Japan. Hey Joe, come and see Kyushu too!
Stunning photos! And, the video work was incredible. Loved the colorful bokeh in the rainy streets.
Thank you! Rain really does bring out the best of natural colour contrast and visuals
Absolutely fantastic job on this video Joe! You are doing Japan well and you are an inspiration.
Love those images.. All that colour seems amplified by the rain! You captured the mood really well.
Fantastic video and shots, Joe! Love your channel, started to re-watch your older Tokyo videos, both on this channel and Jellys Journeys. Love your Tokyo/Japan videos, such a nice vibe. Quality content!

Wonderful work Joe. I love photographing Tokyo at night and in the rain...,OMG, it just adds a whole new dimension! Keep doing what you do best. G

Thank you so much for such a beautiful video of TOKYO. MATA KITE NE !
Love to add this place to my bucket list of places to visit

Really bring out the characteristics of Japan !! Well done
Great video as always! Those night street shots are making me want to go take some too.
Fantastic! This is exactly what I'm always hoping to inspire with each video upload!
Great Job!!!! This Video show real Japanese entertainment!!!!! But almost Japanese people have never been to such a Geisha entertainment place. It's worth to try and enjoy. GREAT!!!!!

Excellent! Every time I visit Tokyo, it feels like so much has changed. I'm sure you'll have a great time!
I see you used 60/120fps. Great work as usual! Idk why but your videos are always so crisp and sharp. Maybe it’s the GH5 but I enjoy watching them.
Yeah I've been using slo-mo a little more at times recently, just to change things up a bit. Glad you're liking the look of the image, I've been using the GH5 for a couple of years now and feel like I've gone from strength to strength on making the most of it!
Absolutely fantastic! I love Fujifilm and your videos as always inspire me and make me want to get back to Japan.
THE AESTHETICS
The video looks absolutely stunning on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The colors, the contrast, the tone, great job! I think you should shoot an HDR video.
Happy New Year and thank you for the beautiful content.

Beautiful video
that hand game looks addicting haha i can only imagine how fun that would be drunk
Been waiting for this, since seeing your Okutama (Mitake, Sawai sake) stuff on Instagram!!!
Coincidentally probably going there this weekend too!
Missed this kind of videos!!
hahah Joe, so this is the video I've been waiting for. I recognized the scene where you chin-ed the knob on the x-h1 😂 love it! After our trip end of 2018, autumn is definitely now my favourite season to visit Japan too!
Great Video 👏🏻
Since when is your video 60 fps? I'm not too sure about it but it looks so different in this video. Tokyo looks so exceptionally wonderful in your video!
impeccable as always, i have always enjoyed every second of your photos and videos
amazing shots
What an absolutely magical video that was. I really really need to go to Japan! Great work Joe 👏🏻
I need to see Japan after watching you enjoy it this much!
hello Joe, so what is your low light settings on fujifilm?
soo good love the work!!
Wonder how many of these were taken with the new X100 :)
Nice video dude !
How do you get such sharp crisp photos especially shooting at night? These photos were amazing!!!
I have never been to Japan , and I already love it through your Videos ^^
I continue to love Japan with each and every visit! Thanks for watching!
東京の自然という点では、石神井公園が撮影スポットにおすすめです。石神井池と三宝寺池に分かれていて、見どころは三宝寺池エリアです。石神井池はただのボート池で余りインパクトはありませんが、三宝寺池は天然記念物の沼沢植物群落があり、自然がとても深いです。東京23区内にありながら、奥多摩や奥秩父の山間に行ったように錯覚します。
hi joe i am fan of your street photography i have one question do you use variable nd filter in night. can we use variable nd filter in night street photography
You deserve a mil subs. It’s kinda rare to see a TH-camr who excels in videography and photography....typically one or the other but not both
Love the video Joe. Very brave to have your camera out in that weather. Wouldn't do that with mine. Credits to you for a great video
You can do the rain with your camera, just have a brolly, you really can get those shots.
It definitely takes patience to shoot in the rain. Everything takes twice as long, but the results are nearly always worth it!
@@joeallam Thanks for taking the Time to reply to my comment. Will take that as a bit of advice and try it out at somepoint. 👍🏻📸
Joe did pretty well in that game for a first timer.
Absolutely loved that game! I now just need a personal musician to follow me to every drinking scenario and practice haha
@@joeallam Haha, good luck for future matches.
The GH5 is pretty dope
Consider me officially hyped now!
Heading to Tokyo soon? ✌️
Joe Allam just 90 more days
Exciting times - Enjoy the countdown!
Hello Joe and Elly, oh the rain, camera and yes it is a challenge but those shots, oh yea keep them coming.

@@joeallam 12kg wow I am to old to carry that much, mine is 6kg thats enough for me lol lol.
great video as always ....🤘😎📸🤘

3:14 what is that thing? Is it a game? 😂 I've never seen it before
You could use magic arm to fix a camera to an umbrella)
Hi Joe,
is this video taken early Autumn(ie in October)? as I know it usually don't rain much in November. Anyway simply love your videos and adore the umbrella shots.:)
AHHH SOMEDAY I WILL GO THERE. :(
Keep dreaming instead of doing something that would make you went there
ありがとう!
Awesome!!
X-T4(model name is not known yet) with IBIS is up to release this spring. do you plan to upgrade?)
brilliant
Love your vlogs mate ❤️
Top ! 👍

what was that game called? I was so enthralled watching you all play!
❤️
Boys and girls, let's copy the clap game.
It's an intensely fun game!
Awesome
Umbrellas in Japan...QUALITY!
Umbrellas in the UK...SHIT!

Awesome video as ever Joe!

13:37 backside of the umbrella? Tut tut, mate
