Travel Japan,through video.
The air, the sound, the changing light of a place — more than a single photograph can hold. Video Atlas Japan is an atlas for traveling Japan through the real scenes captured by video creators around the world.
Why video
The rustle of cedars, the hum of a market, the hush of falling snow — video carries the feeling of being there that a photograph cannot. Sense a place before you go, and relive your journey once you return.
Carefully chosen footage
From countless videos, we feature only high-quality works that capture each place at its most beautiful and honest. Scenic beauty, careful cinematography, a genuine eye for the land — every video is reviewed so it can be a trustworthy gateway to your journey.
An atlas of Japan
By region, prefecture and town — and by the themes of travel. Video Atlas Japan is woven so you can wander the country like a map, from the snow monkeys of Nagano to the golden pavilion of Kyoto, following your curiosity wherever it leads.
Respect for the creators
Every video here is the work of a talented YouTube creator. We feature each one with respect and gratitude, always crediting and linking back to their channel. When a video moves you, please visit the person who made it.
In two languages
For everyone who wishes to travel Japan. In both Japanese and English, we hope to be a place open to travelers at home and from around the world.
