4K Videos of beautiful scenery in Japan shot by 4K Video Camera and 4K capable Drone will be up-loaded. I live in Machida-shi Tokyo, Japan but I also have a cottage at the foot of Mt. Fuji close to the Lake Kawaguchi. So, the uploaded videos will be mainly shot at around Kanto area close to Tokyo and at Mt. Fuji area, but occasionally I will visit any places of interest in Japan and take beautiful videos for uploads.
Yutaka Nagai San. I can just imagine how delightful the garden would smell with all those roses in bloom. Your garden always looks superb and it all looks so lovely in this video. As I have commented before, you must put a lot of work in to keep it so beautiful but I imagine it also gives you much pleasure in doing so. Thank you again for showing us the progress of your garden through the season.
Peter James San, Thank you for your thoughtful comment as always. As you mentioned the garden is filled with mixed fragrance of roses and other flowers. I feel bliss to see many colorful flowers blooming with sweet smells. It is hard to take care of those flowers but it is enjoyable work.
Yutaka Nagai San, your garden is looking absolutely wonderful. The roses, delphiniums and digitalis are so splendid. I even see an Australian native Ptilotus at 5:40. Putting in all the support poles for the delphiniums and digitalis would have been a lot of work. You and your wife have done a marvelous job. Thank you for sharing your garden with us.
Peter James San, Thank you for your kind comment as always. I like delphiniums and digitalis because they are very tall and have various colors so that they are very noticeable in the garden. I feel that they are very gorgeous when the garden is bristled with these tall delphiniums and digitalis. So, I bought the seedlings of these plants and planted in my garden every year. Now, I have more than 100 delphiniums and more than 50 digitalis in my garden. As you mentioned it is very hard work to set support poles to each of these plants. But it is must to have the support poles unless the stems of these flowers will break when we have rain or strong wind. I did not know the name of the plant I planted in the pot. Thanks to your comment, now I know that it is Australian native Ptilotus. It is very cute.
Yutaka Nagai San, the roses look so perfect at these locations. They are certainly in full bloom and look well cared for. Thank you for giving us these beautiful scenes of such lovely roses.
Yutaka Nagai San. Thank you for showing us this interesting scenery. I think you must have enjoyed your trip to Hiroshima and surrounding areas judging by the lovely scenes you have been sharing with us.
Yutaka Nagai San, They are certainly very big bridges and the traffic appeared to be quite light when you were filming. Matsuyama Casle looks magnificent. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey with us.
Yutaka Nagai San. Thank you for showing us the Itsukushima Shrine and surrounding area scenery. I hope you enjoyed your high school reunion and the Dogo Onsen.
Peter James San, Thank you for your comment as always. I enjoyed the high school reunion which was held 58 years after the graduation. I found that most of the tourist at Itsukushima Shrine were foreigners. It is very common at famous tourist sights in Japan now. It may be caused by the reaction of the control during the COVID19 and the depreciation of the yen.
Yutaka Nagai San, thank you for the amazing video. I'm currently planning to go Japan for Autumn, may I know would it be a good idea to visit Lake Kawaguchi around 11 November 2024 to see something similar in your video? I certainly understand that the maple leaves season would depend on the weather etc. Appreciate if you could share some tips or your view. thank you in advance.
Thank you for watching my video. Your idea to visit Lake Kawaguchi around 11 November is certainly OK. But based on my experience in recent years, it may be better to visit two or three days earlier.
Yutaka Nagai San. Your opening and closing scenes of Mt. Fuji reflecting on the lake is just superb. The fresh green brightens everything up and your drone shots of the town and lakeside are wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us.
Peter James San, Thank you for your kind comment as always. I got up very early in the morning on this day and arrived at Lake Kawaguchi at 6:00. It was very clear day and no wind and no boat. The surface of the lake was so calm that everything was reflecting on the lake perfectly. This was the best reverse Mt. Fuji I ever filmed.
Yutaka Nagai San. Your garden is looking well. You have done a splendid job with the tulips, they are lovely. The fresh green, colorful flowers and Mt. fuji provide you a fantastic scene. Can I ask what is the tree with the very red leaves? It looks like a form of Momiji. Thank you for sharing this with.
Peter James San, Thank you for your comment as always. Last year, there was a very shocking event. All the buds as well as bulbs of tulips we planted in the autumn before last were eaten by deer invaded into my garden. The number of bulbs of tulips we planted was about 400 and all gone! It was a nightmare. To forget the sad memory we planted other spring flowers but the damage was too big for us to forget. After that I strengthen the barriers to avoid invasion of deer. As a result, we could have many tulips flowering in my garden this year. That is our sad story about tulips. The red leaves you asked is one of momiji called “de-shojyo “ which means “red fresh leaves”. “de” means bud and “shojyo” means “red”.
@@BeautyOfJapan Yutaka Nagai San. That would have been heart breaking to find that destruction of the tulips. I have had many plants damaged by wildlife, mainly kangaroos, and it is upsetting after all the time and effort put into looking after the plants. Thank you for naming the momiji. I have heard of the de-shojyo variety but have never seem one here in Australia.
Yutaka Nagai San. That is a spectacular view of the valley with the snow covered alps in the background. Very beautiful scenery there. Does the snow ever completely melt in the alps or will there always be some cover? I imagine that there would be a lot of autumn color to see there after summer. Thank you for showing us this area.
