Cine: Japan | Street Photography from Tokyo, Kyoto to Osaka

All photos edited with my Preset Pack: erenjam.com/shop/cinematic
Ahead of my trip to Japan this year I decided to pull together the footage from my previous trip to Japan to put together this cinematic piece. The video was filmed on the X-T3 while the photos were taken on an X-Pro2.
Locations from this episode include Ise Mei, Wakayama, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukushima, Izu, Mt. Fuji and Nagoya.
Most of the photos in this episode are present in my first photography book, Across Japan, (link below).

Loved the mood you captured Eren. Beautifully shot and edited. Thanks for taking me back to this wonderful country.

[@illkoncept]

Probably my favorite film of yours to date dude. I really enjoyed the slower pacing, the atmospheric/ambient music, and of course the superb cinematic footage and photographs. I hope these kind of videos can find the reach and love they deserve on KZbin. This is true art.

[@erenjam]

Huge thanks for the support Mike! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 blown away by your episode looking forward to watching the latest!

[@senior_ranger]

I've seen thousands of Japan videos. Never saw one as expressive and beautiful as this!

[@jbnitpou9942]

Very very nice video guy ….. a marvelous moment. Bravo. 👍

Just Wow, Congratulations

[@erenjam]

Thanks Carlo 🙏🏼

[@roxanac7707]

I don't normally watch non-educational videos, let alone comment on them...but this one really moved me! The frames, the grading, the editing and music...spectacular! I was a fan of your photography anyway, and now I'm in awe of your videography skills. Thank you!

[@erenjam]

🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@streetandurban]

excellent work, dear Eren. Editing, music and the whole atmosphere of Japan comes across wonderfully. I really enjoyed the video and your photos. Not having a moderator was a wise decision. Thank you 👍

[@user-fj9ir6ct6o]

Beautiful video on Japan. After 4 years living here, the best one i have ever watched so far on Tokyo. Just discovering your channel, impatient to watch your videos on Fujifilm, for which you would be a great ambassador for the brand. Congrats!

[@erenjam]

Thank you!

[@JimBoultonisawesome]

This has to be the most beautiful video I have ever seen here on KZbin. Your colour palette, your pacing, your overall visuals are incredible! Thank you for sharing and I will check out your other videos soon.

[@erenjam]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@Stefan_B_Anderson]

normally I don't comment on videos, but wow this was a cinematic masterpiece! it gave me wonderful memories of my last Japan trip and anticipation for my next one. The recordings, the editing and the music were incredibly beautiful. You really captivated and inspired me! Thank you for that!

[@erenjam]

Really appriciate the comment Stefan!

[@Kitisgood]

I recently brought your book Across Japan (which is a beautiful collection of images) so really looking forward to this video, Japan seems amazing to visit and is photographically stunning too!

[@erenjam]

Huge thanks 🙏🏼 Really appreciate the support!

[@wesleygrimes89]

I have so many wonderful things to say about this, I would probably ramble on forever! But I’ll keep it simple. This video really evoked some emotions from me. Japan is honestly the one place on earth I felt the happiest. You showed every beautiful piece of Japan there is to see in such an amazing way (and just note, I’m only on minute 12:14 so a little more than 6 minutes to go lol!) Thank you. Seriously. Thank you!

[@erenjam]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 huge huge thanks

[@derrenleepoole]

This was a superb video. Right up there with GXAce for immersive storytelling and content. Subbed.

[@erenjam]

Amazing to hear! Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@mikehart5723]

You are an exceptional creator and this film is up there with the best. Your combination of cine, stills and music had me mesmerised, what an inspiration to want to book some flights to Japan ❤❤

[@erenjam]

Thank you! Hope you have a great trip 🙏🏼

[@oc2phish07]

Wow! That was terrific. I think I agree with other comments here, this was probably your best work. I like your stuff a lot, especially as I live in London and find your street photography here also very good indeed, but this was outstanding.

[@erenjam]

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ruizjohnpena3056]

Bravo Sir! The editing of your cinematic views, while adding the occasional stills were visually inspiring. Plus, your choice of the subtle background music, gave the world a beautiful travelogue of your visit to Japan. Thank you.

Your channel is a recent discovery for me, Eren, but I am so very pleased to have found it. The stills are great, but the combined effect with the video and music is very uplifting.

[@tobiasfaucette]

Nothing short of beautiful man! Having your Across Japan book this is such a great companion to that, they compliment each other very well, and of course just nice seeing some more of the journey itself in a different way. This one and London in fog are by far my favourite videos of yours Eren, can't wait to see what comes out of your next trip!

[@erenjam]

Huge thanks Tobias! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Still waiting for a foggy day in London this/last year

[@tobiasfaucette]

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

There is a lot of great photographic and cinematic content on KZbin, however every now and then one video engages and inspires you more than most. This one is THAT video. The ambience, the soundtrack, the grading, the way that the images are presented alongside others… wow! Thank you, Eren for your dedication to this art form, and for sharing your work. ✌️

Beautiful. Eren, Do you recommend using a UV filter, or protective filter on the 56mm Fuji? do you use any?

[@erenjam]

🙏🏼🙏🏼 I don't use one but a good UV filter (that doesn't impact image quality) is a good idea

[@jl2899]

Amazing video! Was there a particular reason you shot the video portions with your XT-3 as opposed to your XT-5?

[@erenjam]

The video was shot back in 2019

[@jl2899]

@@erenjam ahh fair enough. is there a reason you choose to film on xt-5 as opposed to the xh2s? is it because of the smaller form factor?
