I am a big fan of Takashi Amano's last iwagumi style aquascape. Such a masterpiece with great energy! This must be Japan's most appreciated aquarist jewel of all time.

One of my bucket lists is to visit this absolutely breath taking museum. 😍. Thank you for the tour🤙🏽

These types of videos inspire me but at the same time humble me. I’m miles away from even achieving such works of art. Amazing just simply amazing 😍🤙🏽

19:30 my favorite tank. all that buce, fissidens and crypt parva. 3 of my favorite plants and its just stunning. hard choice as so many stunning tanks. thanks for being a great tour guide.

I wish IAPLC would go back to rate the nature style better over all this highly complicated artificial looking diorama style scapes that have taken over the competition in recent years.

Thank you for being an inspiration to your viewers and to have the consideration to go out of your way and detail every single plant and fish in the video, really shows how much you care :)

Amazing Video. I love it very much. Could watch it all day long!

Ryo... Well done. I have watched a few videos from other well known RU-vidrs about this gallery, and I think yours is the best yet. Instead of getting all "technical" about it, talking about the plants, the technics etc, you gave us the "spirit" of each aquascape which really draws the viewer in. Enchanting and respectful too. If I could give you a 1000 likes for this, I would. Well done. ❤️

Thank you.

Beautifully edited, narrated, and executed buddy. Your doing great things for the hobby. Amano would be proud

Thank you for this tour ❤

Thank you so much for sharing. To visit the gallery is a dream, however watching this tour is the next best thing. Seeing all of the tanks, and visualising the space gives a more intimate impression, and your description a strong feeling of the ADA philosophies. A really well considered video and one I will look forward to watching again.

Thank you very much Ryo for this wonderful video. So even people who don't have the opportunity to visit the gallery can see these beautiful aquariums🙏🏻

Love the tour and your so awesome at narrating.

Iwagumi is still, by far, my favorite tank style. Iwagumi is pure, minimal, and beautiful. Iwagumi is Takashi Amano. Stunning video. Thank you. 🙏🏼

really cool! 진짜 멋지네요 ADA작품을 직접 보러 일본으로 한 번 가야겠네요.

I have a childhood dream of being shrunk and then getting to dive in my aquarium. That dream, just came back to me at those beautyfull tanks. Thank you for sharing. ❤️😊

Thank you Ryo for doing this journey and bring the ADA gallery closer to everyone. Honestly, I was inspired to jump into this hobby by Sir Amano's tanks and believe many of us was too. From few years ago, the style of diorama takes quite a high rank in the competition worldwide and people easily are drawn by their impression. But here is nature, and glad that ADA employees and pro aquascaper there still keep the "spirit" of Sir Amano. Looking all the tank via your video kind like bright my vision, bring me back to the reason why I love this hobby and feel more about Sir's attitude. The cleanliness of glass, wires, combination of plants, healthy fishes, etc. All of them are perfect nature.

Thank you Ryo, your vid is beautifully, with great sensitivity and appealingly done! Yes, the Manton Stone arrangement is just overwhelming, not only because it's Amanos last work but the strong impact of the stones he had chosen, their hight, their placement and the open spaces in between in conjuction with the small pebbles to both sides of the scape is for me THE masterpiece of Amano san because of its archaic and incredibly impacting simplicity. I see it as his statement in which his entire experience was expressed. Never ever should it be removed from the gallery.

just watched the whole thing :) wooow what a honour to go the NA Gallery it looks stunning. Brilliant video Ryo keep up the good work.

WOW! Phenomenal video Ryo! One of my favorites... The videography, the descriptions of each tank, the music, the editing, etc.... I like them all! Thank you for sharing!

I would love to see an actual Amano tank in person. An aquarists pilgrimage.

amazing video and footage of the ada gallery. I hope to visit it in person one of these days but I'll live through your videos for now. The voice over was perfect but different from your normal freestyle format. I love it. can't wait for the next video!

Thank you, this is an amazing video showing the reflection of art at ADA! Amazing

I look forward to your uploads so much Ryo, thank you for the care and passion you put into your work and sharing this beautiful gallery ☺

You look so happy to meet the ADA suikei creators in the last picture! A memorable day.

Un Saludo desde Honduras en Centroamérica: sencillamente impresionante tanto el vídeo como la galería, creo que sería el sueño de todo acuarista entrar a ese lugar, así como el musulmán tiene que ir a la Meca, pues así, al que le gusta los acuarios plantados debería visitar este lugar, francamente muy satisfactorio haber visto este vídeo.

Beautifully set...

Every aquascaper's dream is to visit the ADA Gallery! Thanks for the tour ☺️🙏

Thank you for the tour that some might not be able to view it in our lifetime. Subscribed to your channel! 🎉

A delightful presentation. Thank you for such an amazing review👍

Amazing aquascape

Dear Ryo, nice and great job! Thanks for inspiring us!

Wow,dream place to visited

Cool

The best aquascape design references video

Beautiful. Thanks Ryo.

Wooow beatufuil ❤️

Lovely video Ryo, thank you.

感謝你的分享，非常有耐心的制作。看到現在的ADA展示缸，感覺非常大自然，水草健康的自由生長。但都係喜愛老頭子年代的展示缸，都係大自然草缸，在前景草的混合種植如日本矮珍珠十大綠角十小量牛毛，這組合不會使前景過高，但又不會過於單一竹，好了都是個人感受，每個做景師都有自己風格。

Awesome! The video we all waited for. I appreciate the creativity and the work of all the "new" creators, however none of them can recreate the way Amano did his aquariums. Some of the layouts just seem to be overcomplicated and restless. Hard to explain.

Awesome video. 👊🏻 thank you 🙏

beautiful fishes

Hi ryo san, What an amazing video about the NA gallery 🤩🤩 Hope to visit it one day 🙏 Thank you for this amazing tour and good to see Ono san at this video. 💚 Have a great weekend with love from the Netherlands 🙏

Ryo this is such a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing this emotional experience. Your filming, editing, voice over, its incredible and all honoring the scapers and Amano. He'd be proud. Cheers, Ryo.

Great gallery tour guide you are!

I have been watching your videos for years, i cannot believe you only have 127k.

amazing tanks, one thing I have noticed is they run insanely high BPS into the tanks

Amazing😮😮

14:55 is absolutely nuts. Wow! 😍👏

I've watched and liked all your other tours. And I happy for you that you had your dream tour. But I've already seen it on a couple other channels. Looking forward to more unique tours of yours. 👍✌️

Thank you for sharing! I am in the US California. Your video gave a chance to experience this gallery and aquascaping artistry I have not seen before. I have never heard of a Hakkai stone. Is that stone in your backyard or uncles? BTW great job on the back yard.

Excellent I look forward to your posts❤️💚❤️🙏🙏🏻🙏🏾🇬🇧

Immoryal classic. Thsnks very much, Ryo, for sharing

Ryo, I know how much this visit and subsequently the video would have meant to you. Thank you for sharing it with us. The biggest compliment I can give you is that you transmitted the same passion through the video. Another great work by you. Can’t wait for you to work on a new long term ADA inspired scape (nature style please).

Youve come a long way, Ryo! I remember watching your first videos when you were a little kid in Singapore (?) and now youre at the mecca! :)

Дуже круто виглядає. Мрію таке створити в Україні. Дякую за відео.

Place is amazing!

wow a dream visit. Thank you :-)

I think Inoue san's aquascape with the fissidens and buce is the highlight of this iteration of the ADA gallery. I am not sure if I like the wild looking iwagumi since I am more used to Amano san's iwagumi style which requires meticulous nurturing to showcase the hardscape. Aside from that as usual Amano san's three aquascapes still are the key highlights of the gallery. I am glad they have been immortalized with the new frame to ensure that the tanks endure over time.

🤩 это просто супер экскурсия по прекрасному месту 👍СПАСИБО! За возможность полюбоваться этим местом

Echt wunderschöne Aquarien hat Amano hier "hingezaubert"! 👍Was mir persönlich besonders gefällt, dass es "Naturaquarien" sind und keine künstlich wirkenden Landschaften unter Wasser...😉

That’s fantastic!! Your videos are wonderful!! Great job Watanabee San 🙏🏽

nice

He really built tanks with a photographer’s eye

Wonderful video ! Only open tanks and no jumping fish ? Thank you for showing us this great showroom.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! All is my favorite.

Love the narration and video quality. Great job

👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for sharing this experience 👏👏👏👏

Thanks for this great video Ryo ✌️

Super ❤

Dope, thanks for this!

You lucky fish!

This was such a delight to watch. Oh btw, its so nice to see a new video from you Ryo. You've been missed. Thank you for the upload. 😊 Edit: Forgot to add, there is something about tank no. 5 (at the 7:36 mark of the video) that I really like. I think this is my favorite, but all of them are beautiful.

ADA

❤

My favourite tank is at 14:36, can anyone give me a rundown of the plants used, e.g the mid and foreground green are these mosses? and looks like Ludwiga for the red stems, not massive amount of variety but gives such a stunning look!

In first tank of this video full aquarium is covered with all side which metal frame is this

need a 4k set up

Is that an upcoming Solar RGB 2 at 10:42? What does the display read?

IS this finally open? I thought it was permenently closed? Thanks.

@RyiWatanabe What do i need to reproduce this tank at 17:42 ? plants, stones...? Thank you rfor your videos, big fan.

Hi, I'm thinking about getting some medaka. But I have little space at hone and they would have to live in a pond outside. Do you know how hardy are they? Our winters are -11 - -13°C for 1-2 nights at most, but I also have a greenhouse, that at those nights went no cooler than -4°C. I have no option of getting cheap medaka to see how it goes because they are extremely rare where I live.

Hi Ryo may i know what the name of the black stone displaying in the front gallery? Can i get it in Sg?

Is ADA gallery temporarily closed now?

NFS prostreet momento

Hey Ryo, is the gallery a seasonal open or all year round.

3:38 duplex glass! Why?

what carpet plant is that used on Takashi Amanos center piece aquarium? is it pearlweed?

0:53 who and all found Mr. Adip Sajjan raj at the left wearing green T-Shirt ?

Bravo from Romania Dracula land ❤🎉

Very Very Sad many of the tank not well maintain, messy plant upkeep and arrangement.

Trichogaster chuna

Okay

You look so good bro

Love the scapes, absolute HATE the musack. Thumpy musack with chipmunk vocals needs to go away.

Thanks for the Video. If you ever have the opportunity to visit a Takashi Amano Photo exhibition I would be thrilled to see a Video 😊
