In the past six visits to Japan, Mr. Carl Rosa has filmed this amazing crosswalk in Tokyo using different angles from the same camera. At the start of 2017, he compiled all of the filming and edited every angle in order to assemble it for one, short video. This is a video of the busiest pedestrian intersection in the world. Custom music by our contributor, Mr. Ernest Robinson.
This video is a short explanation about the mountaintop city of Koya, also known as Koya-san. An amazing place that we visited and filmed for two days. Note - you can tell by my appearance that I was severely tired and in desperate need of a meal...and sleep. By the time we filmed this video, I was extremely exhausted (the bags under my eyes are a testament to that fact).
For more information on Koya-san, please visit the links beneath the our video. My thanks to Geno Simeon, Bob Greer, Scott Cattanach and Brian Harrison for their wonderful assistance with the camera(s).

Mark Ledford, a talented videographer in Oakland, CA, put a video together of his experiences in Tokyo and Kyoto. On April 19th of 2016, he assembled a series of wonderful clips that conveys his recent experiences in Japan. Mark's talent is evident throughout all of his videos...but this one truly struck a chord with us. Enjoy.
