no fuss, no music, just well recorded, hi-resolution, stabilized footage with great sound thanks for all the work you put into your videos, they are really very good
This is the best channel I've ever subscribe to, your videos makes me SO happy, I love rainy night walks, and Japan is so safety and clean to carry cameras and record beautiful things, thanks
Amen. Contrast these amazing night walks with a place like Baltimore where each time I visit on business, locals warn me to be back to my hotel before dark...and they are right, judging from what I've observed from my hotel room.
Like Detroit, the former great city of Baltimore has been in precipitous decline for some time now as the middle class vote with their feet and abandon the city for greener pastures well away from the city's insane tax levels, dilapidated infrastructure, appalling schools, corrupt authorities, abject poverty and its accompanying violence, drug use and ethnic/racial animosity. For a city of barely 600K, it had more than 340 officially reported murders last year and has an outrageous per capita average of 98-99 violent crimes per 10K residents. Only people that live there are those that have to because of work (a lot of State and Federal jobs there), are affluent enough to insulate themselves from the rot or are too poor to leave. Good news is that it's one small, backwards city on a continent that is otherwise crammed full of decent, safe places to live a life and raise a family.
I can't tell you enough how much your videos mean to me. Not being able to walk or go anywhere can get me down but your videos pick me up again. Your videos feel so real. I go full screen and turn off the lights and pretend it's me walking ^_^
Thank you for taking us on mesmerizing walk Rambalac! The quiet stillness of dark alleyways with only the sound of your foot steps and the rain against the background chirping of the cicadas. The swoosh of cars and the chatter of people in the better lighted more well traveled areas. All punctuated at times by the whooping of trains or the wail of sirens, as this is part of a city. Very lovely
Walking at night used to be one of my favorite pastimes. Now I live in a place with no sidewalks, and very few street lights. I have lost the night, and these videos keep me sane!
The low-light quality of your camera never ceases to amaze me. So nice and crisp, so natural, the lights and light colors look amazing and overall it just looks like it would look like when you're there in real life (I assume at least). Your videos transport me to the other side of the world where my mind can relax for an entire hour while just calmly exploring Japan during a nice rainy evening. Thank you so much for your content.
Without a doubt, one of the finest of the videos so far. Some parts of it were like the movie 'Spirited Away'. Excellent work. Beautiful, even. Edit: In fact, I'm going to watch it again, right now.
You might want to check out the old serial film series "Otoko wa Tsurai Yo", also known simply as "Tora-san". It ran for 25 years and was set and filmed in this neighborhood... those who've seen the films may feel they know this neighborhood well by proxy. The films may have had a "protective" effect on this area, anchoring Shibamata in the popular mind so to speak. That's my theory anyway.
It just hit me how respectful you are in your travels, the way you speak to people , how you walk through crowded areas or busy streets, or film stuff like food stalls, yatai, and street performances. At the shrines you tread gently and throw in a coin donation at each one you visit. Sometimes I see comments in videos about Japan from people wanting to visit and be mindful of the culture and the people, and sometimes the reply is don’t be like a certain TH-cam blogger. I think the reply should be, if you want to behave thoughtfully and respectfully be like Rambalac.
its amazing how there are actually a lot of people who sit here and watch almost an hour of your videos. People take an hour out of the their day, including me. Some people just have nothing to do, and some people are just that intrigued by it all (like me) I use these almost as therapy or when im having a not so good day. I just got back from Japan for the first time a few weeks ago and I still enjoy your videos so much! :) thank you.
Found out about your videos 2 days ago and I've fallen in love with them! Spending a week in Japan would cost half a year's wages for me, so the best I can do is watch your videos again and again and dream! Thank you so much!!! Keep it up!!!
Rambalac! Dont think ive forgotten about you! Now that I have my own place I plan on playing your videos on full screen! Starting with this one! I love the dreamy cozy atmosphere of walking lonely streets at night.. especially in Japan! Thanks again.
My old neighborhood right there. Katsushika-Shibamata. awesome place.. So quiet you could hear the train from a few mins walk away. I lived maybe 5min walk from the statues. :D It was a big deal when Sakura chan was added, still is. People come from all over to see the Tora san museum and the statues.
I've always loved the small looks into other countries or cultures that you get in films, when you look into the background and see the general living of the average person. it's awesome. just having a wander in someone else's shoes. leaving your mundane life and having a stroll in someone else's mundane life. thank you for your effort. ありがとうございました Arigatōgozaimashita (used google to try to say thank you)
I can attest that visiting the old shopping street and the temple in Shibamata during the day is a must. I went during new years time in 2016/17. Unfortunately, they had the garden closed when I visited, but they did have the main building open and allowed visitors to enter (which is normally not the case, as I understand). The tree with the supported branches is really cool, but the most spectacular part is the old building with the Buddhist Jataka carved into the side of it. (You have pay a little to see that part, but I think it is only ￥200 - ￥300, so well worth the price.)
Oh and thank you for the video! You had a great, near perfectly clean audio of a Japanese train level crossing. That has been really hard for me to find. (Normally, when I find a recording of a Japanese level crossing the audio is not very good. Either it is low quality, cuts out a portion of the cycle, a car is idling in the background, or something like that is in the recording and ruins is for me. So thanks for that!)
Watching your videos in 4k and with headphones is like a portal across the world. It feels like I just visited somewhere, with lingering feelings of a real place. And Japan is somewhere I always dreamt of visiting. Thanks again brother❤
Trying to relax because it's the night of a final and you've barely done study and are probably very screwed, anyone? And are getting distracted by this wonderful video... There's something strangely calming and beautiful about just walking through quiet streets at night
ohh omg , the more i watch your videos the more i get in love with japan , and in this video the train part is my favorite , awesom videos , keep up a good work , its so relaxing
Really enjoy the ambiance of walking at night. The frogs croaking, the shadows and the way the light plays off of buildings and reflections. Very nice. I hope you can do more of these, especially in different weather like rain or thunderstorms. I love lightning and thunder at night. Thanks Rambalac.
What an outstanding walk, Rambalac. The town seems to be a very quiet one. I've enjoyed the excursion. And, oh yes, your English needs no corrections. Thank you.
Well, you inspired me to continue in my area of the world in New York City. Rain walks huh? Thought I was the only person who would think to film/watch it. You have some audience here too! Great stuff and vid quality :)
I noticed a lot of the bikes parked around the city don't have locks on them. Here in the states if you don't lock your bike over night the next day its likely to be gone. Great videos!
these videos kinda help me sleep, it’s good background noise. and also makes me think about the time i was in Japan last year, such a beautiful place :)

自分は日本人ですが、自分の住んでいない場所を散歩している気分になれるのでいつも楽しく見させてもらってます！
Impression that in Japan the neighborhood maintains the architecture was EDO, is a gift for humanity, wonderful video.
Great quality content as always Rambalac. The rainy nighttime walks are always my favorite!
Me too
Why is Japan so artistically pleasing? Every video I see of Japan and it's steets looks like it was drawn. To me a photographer's dream.
雨が降った後の独特の空気本当に好き
This is the best channel I've ever subscribe to, your videos makes me SO happy, I love rainy night walks, and Japan is so safety and clean to carry cameras and record beautiful things, thanks
We would get along great lol but seriously i love rainy nights too and whenever he uploads a rain walk video i click it so fast :D
What are the preferred lengths of these rain walk videos? 20 mins, one hour? Want to upload more to my channel in my neck of the woods
@@vacuumdemos7383 30-60 minutes.
Wn la weaaa
I'd do this in Japan, but wouldn't feel safe doing this in my city.
Amen.

Sweden is among the safest places on earth though..
@@brreeaad I wouldn't feel safe outside after 8:30 in the evening, I live in Brazil :)
You can do this in Taiwan too.
Thanks.your video also show us Japan.and also help those who could not go there in life.it feels like going with u .😊

It's such an immersive experience that I'm watching this while holding an umbrella.

When the train crossing sound started I was like RUN YOU CAN MAKE IT
Our Master Rambalac has uploaded again! 🙏
Love this video. I feel homesick for a place I‘ve never been to.
Must visit Japan someday.

Your videos are like medicine for my soul. Thank you for your work. :)
These 'wet' videos are so immersive that I keep glancing outside to see whether it is actually raining here...
The camera perspective and the way the person is moving make this seem like a video game
Shibamata ... the great old neighborhood of the never forgotten TORA SAN !!!!
Today's not been so Good day....but I found a Good way to end my day .... Thanks Rambalac.. 😁😁
night walks are always mega coool to do + a nice scene like japan just = best thing ever
Loving the rainy walks! Noir feel, just like old movies.

That laundromat with all the portraits...SO COOL!
Hello from Canada! Thank you for sharing a piece of Japan with us. I absolutely enjoy your walks! Cheers!
Me @12:15 - "I hope the train comes - score!" and then you even waited for the second train. Nice.
街中にある踏切は大好き。雰囲気がたまらん

These walking in Japan videos are my favorite on youtube, and I've spent a ton of time on youtube.
rain walk , best walk
I can't wait to go back to Japan someday. One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited.
When I saw that statue of the Japanese actor with the suitcase near 48:20, I instantly remember going there in August for a vacation. Good memories.

Dude, thanks for bringing me back to Japan. Spent over a year there and miss it like crazy.
I really like those railroad crossings and i like the way they fly right through there
Thanks again! Gotta love how tiddy everything looks in Japan

These videos relaxes me too
The internet is truly magical. Love your work, keep it up!
Love how u pan up at the beginning of most videos
And the end (level to skywards). Yeah, it's a nice touch :)

I love that you managed to get to the rail crossing at just the right time at 12:17
your videos help me calm down when I am feeling stressed I love them!
Rainy walks are the best! =)
100%.. nothing better than rain, less people, and all feels so clean and relaxed...
I agree
Even better at night. :)
Night time driving in the city has always been my favorite thing to do. Walking is great too, just something special about the atmosphere.
Great work, looking forward to more rainy videos this winter :) maybe even snow in a couple months!
Even from the opening shot of the timetable, these videos show us just how many English words and phrases are in Japanese day to day life
Love these videos. Theres something so relaxing about them
Truly. This one especially so.
Recently, I watched the movie "Otoko wa Tsuraiyo", so I definitely want to go to Shibamata next time! Thanks for sharing.
just wanted to say this is a long art piece, to me it is art, and this is a masterpiece!
Thank you for these uploads Rambalac, they are so relaxing.
Great video. I love walking at night.👍
I know i wont be able to travel there anytime soon, but your videos make me feel like I'm there. Thank you for the experience i really appreciate it.
My favorite, night + rainy. Thanks, I really appreciate it. Take care
Your videos is such a therapy
perfect to relax before my night shift :) thanks for the best content on youtube
Thank you, master. Also wow, this place looks really cool!
it's so peaceful at night
Thank you so much.
Rambalac , i saw your face bro @52:41 , nice to meet you :)
What a great route to take, through the alley's. Kind of spooky! Great.
No One Is judging Anybody EveryOne is Doing their Own Work that's Good
It's 23:13 right now, and I'm going to sleep, when I check the notification, I see that you are uploaded new video, guess gonna watch it till the end
I feel like I do so much exercise watching your videos. I should probably do it for real though.
Great content as always. Thanks a lot.
You can watch it while walking :)
Estuve en Japón hace dos años, muy bonito país, limpio y ordenado, saludos desde Chile.
