✨I’m testing video work. This time I’m practicing conveying fleeting moments of Miyazaki’s nature and daily life through footage. I’m working with short clips to create a sense of presence.

I capture moments that appeal to the senses: sunlight on the sea and the sound of waves, the breeze in the forest, and the lingering notes of festival flutes and drums. I’m experimenting to see if viewers can feel shifting light and human breath within brief takes. Please tell me about volume or picture quality differences when you watch.

I’m also doing test shoots to find the right shooting points, adjusting the direction of light and microphone for fine tuning. When filming on the road, comfortable shoes, spare batteries, and sunscreen help you feel prepared. For outdoor events like kagura, bring warm clothing for the evening chill.

On this account I’ll keep adding short videos to share seasonal moods and the afterglow of festivals. If there are places or scenes you’d like to see, let me know in the comments and I’ll use them as references for the next shoot. I’d be glad if you save or share your favorites; they might help with your travel planning.

In the footage I’m capturing moments like the soft morning light dyeing the sea and the slow sway of wind shadows along rice-field ridges. Small footprints at the water’s edge and early-morning conversations in a port town gain depth when edited into short cuts. Slightly emphasizing the colors and textures on screen can strengthen the unity of sound and image, but don’t overdo it—keep it subtle. The landscapes you encounter while filming are once-in-a-lifetime; ordinary frames often become lasting memories. If you like, tell me your preferences for music or subtitles during shoots—I’ll take them into account. Also, I always observe filming etiquette by being considerate of locals and other visitors so as not to disturb them. I make time between takes to experience local food and customs, because I want to preserve the small stories that come from those moments in my videos. I will reflect the feedback I receive in future shoots to create videos that better convey the atmosphere of each destination. I’ll also share useful tips about gear and editing for those interested, little by little, so feel free to reach out. I will continue testing to deliver footage that lets you feel Miyazaki’s appeal. If you like it, save it and add it to your next-trip list. #video test #travel

私の家族は妹二人と両親のご人家族。この日は久しぶりに家族旅行へ行きました。目的地は高千穂峡。初めての宮崎。自然を味わいリフレッシュできました。

宮崎県にある高千穂峡の写真です。高千穂は日本書紀に出てくることでも有名で、自然豊かで綺麗な渓谷や森林が数多くあります。中でも、高千穂峡は観光スポットとして人気があり、手漕ぎボートで滝のすぐ下まで漕いでいけるなど、ダイナミックな自然を体感でき、おすすめです。

What a cool photo. I keep seeing pictures and stuff of Takachiho Gorge and I really want to go. I watched a video of it on here recently and it was really beautiful. Miyazaki seems like a really fun place to visit in general so it'd fun to get out there and try the boats and see all of the natural scenery. It had some really nice looking shrines that I was interested in visiting as well. It's so hard to visit all of the beautiful places scattered throughout Japan but I've got time so I'm gonna do my best lol. Earned some flight miles this year so I'm definitely heading out somewhere this summer. Maybe it'll be Miyazaki, we'll see. Although I've had my eye on Nagano lately as well so it's a toss up for now.

宮崎県高千穂町にある「高千穂峡」。

「Takachiho Gorge of silence」
location : 宮崎県西臼杵郡高千穂町

～静寂の高千穂峡～
高千穂峡は、阿蘇の火山活動で噴出した火砕流が五ヶ瀬川に沿って帯状に流れ出し、 急激に冷却されたために出来た柱状の素晴らしい懸崖となった峡谷です。1934年（昭和9）11月10日、国の名勝・天然記念物に指定されていて、日本の滝百選にも選ばれた真名井の滝、槍飛橋などがあります。
九州屈指のパワースポットである高千穂。その中でも高千穂峡の真名井の滝の静寂は特に心癒される神秘的な光景です。

～Takachiho Gorge of silence～
The wonderful columnar cliffs of Takachiho Gorge were formed because the pyroclastic flow erupted by the volcanic activity of Mt. Aso flowed out in strips along the river and was rapidly cooled. This Takachiho Gorge is designated as a National Monument and Natural Monument on November 10, 1934.
Nearby are Manai Falls, one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan, and Yaritobi Bridge.
Takachiho is one of the best power spots in Kyushu. Among them, the quietness of Manai Falls in Takachiho Gorge is a mysterious scene that heals the heart.

📍宮崎県西臼杵郡 天安河原

⊿ 場所紹介

天照大神が岩戸にお隠れになったさい、天地暗黒となり八百万の神がこの河原に集まり神議されたと伝えられる大洞窟。別名「仰慕ヶ窟（ぎょうぼがいわや）」とも呼ばれています。以前は社のみがあり信仰の対象となっていたが、いつのまにか祈願を行う人たちの手によって石が積まれていくようになりました。現在では無数にある積まれた石が天安河原の神秘的かつ幻想的な雰囲気を一層引き立てています。

実際に調べて行ってみました
鳥居の下は川だと思って行ってちゃんとみたら道でした笑

石がそこらじゅう積み重ねてあり非常に不思議な空間で行ってよかったと感じました！
