Hannah, the sound editing on this is fantastic. I love the mix of audio from the footage and the light piano music. I absolutely love how much time and effort you put into your videos.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

I loved that element too. Amazing sound editing in general.

[@thinkabout602]

The word magical is spot on 👍 magicallydevious

[@Travelwithchris]

right! SO good!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Wow thank you so much! It’s nice to see that those small details don’t go unnoticed :)

[@polluxtroy2010]

Same here!, I did actually watched it a couple more times so that I could see if Shazam would recognize the piano songs for me haha, I just recently subscribed to your channel Hannah and no regrets so far!, I got here when I watched your other video “If travel influencers were HONEST”, hilarious!, keep up the awesome work :)

[@edwardtrinidad7541]

Beautiful footage, ambient noise, plus the background music really did it for me in this video!

[@Travelwithchris]

That festival looks incredible! Japan is just amazing in every way! I love how you show it off!

[@HOTonCLEvideos]

Hannah, it's great to see you return to the style of video I loved about your channel when i first subscribed. You are an amazing video journalist and master at sound mixing. I never appreciated piano interludes until I started watching your videos. They really accentuate your visuals!

[@LastStarfighterAJ]

You did a great job there I think of capturing the atmosphere of the event. It felt really autumnal, magical and peaceful. Would love to visit one of these festivals!

[@TheLineCutter]

Seems like such a peaceful/wholesome place. Lovely how you shot it and edited it. I could see 20 quality videos and know which one is yours. Top quality ;)

[@wehanvanzyl621]

Yes, the drums REALLY are that exciting, even on video! Pat Kay! Yay! The piano score is wonderfully apt, just fits so perfectly with the day/lighting/the weather/the season!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I love using piano in my videos so this kind of footage is my fav to edit. Chill, smooth and goes well with piano!

[@bigbrowntau]

Wow, the precision of the sound and video, combined with the accessible, open , honest narration is brilliant to enjoy. I love how you don't edit out mistakes in your narration, which adds a real charm to it all. Not like the typical travel vlog. Autumn is my favourite time in Japan, and you shared it so well. Thanks again!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you so much! Editing this video was a pleasure as it felt like things just fell into place smoothly with the music. Nice scenery does that sometimes :)

[@RBuckminsterFuller]

Momiji is a word used for autumn colours but it does specifically refer to the Japanese maple.

[@mindtraveler]

got to say, I love your videos. The vibe of them, the attention to detail... great ! thanks for a glimpse into a place I´v wanted to visit for so long.

[@Ilikeoatmealmorethanyou]

beautifully filmed as always!! 😍 i almost went to this festival this year last moment but then decided against it! it looks amazing! i'll have to go next year!! 💗 thank you for creating such beautiful content!! we appreciate the hard work and time you put into your creations!! 💗

[@mitchellstephens8993]

The Australian accent is easily the easiest accent to listen to in the world. Love your videos! That festival looked like so much fun!

[@geoffouston3165]

Hannah, this one is so so beautiful. Food and nourishment for the soul. The mix of piano and maple images is just wonderful. Thank you 😊

[@blackmill]

I just discovered ur channel today and your content is such high quality ♥️ your personality is so likeable and I love how you share your opinion and also just amazing things in Japan in general!

[@piyushgupta9493]

I like how the video started with... " Yeaaa" :D And I am like this is gonna be good! :) Love your videos! The background music is amazing.

[@ErinShellyMason]

When I was in elementary and middle school, we’d have assemblies to learn about different cultures. So I was fortunate enough to experience taiko drumming a couple of times. The way you can feel it so physically is a remarkable experience!

[@StMyles]

Thank you Hannah for a moment of tranquility this morning. Have been watching and reviewing lots of political flogs. Beautiful scenery and sound mixture.

[@sarahwkml]

I love these type of travel videos Hannah! I really enjoy how you showcase the culture plus editing is on point!

[@kiwdwks]

Your videos are absolutely the best! You always capture the moment...

[@invisiblediner]

Awe inspiring footage in this video Hannah. You never cease to amaze and I thank you for that. 👍✌❤

[@BlahaKa]

You are my inspiration. I love the way how natural you are. Keep on inspiring!

[@PocketTrailblazer]

This is the most calming video Hannah, I loved it 🥰

[@mipal7]

We're here in Japan now and are enjoying the autumn colors as well! Love this time of year :)

[@seandesmond5560]

Beautiful video lovely Hannah!!! ❤ Love your videos and the talent, effort and skill you put in to them!!! ❤

[@kingcurtis666]

[@armtinyannie9771]

omg we literally went on the 14th to mt takao and hiked all the way up and back down! it was stunning and definitely a good work out 😂 we were lucky enough to see fuji that day too! 😊 wouldve loved to hear the drums in person 😍💜

[@jeeannguibone1678]

[@benec5816]

[@LemifromJapan]

Thank you Hannah chan! I always learn how to make beautiful & fun videos from you. I'm going to Mt. Takao for the first time in my life thanks to your video!🍁☺️✨🙏

[@julieallen5655]

My husband and I are visiting Japan next May and your lovely videos are fueling our excitement. I learn something new each time. Thank you 😊

[@Hadrian1616]

What a beautiful video. I don't even need to travel now. I am living vicariously through you Hannah. Thank you. ❤👏👍

[@Karen_esque]

I love Pat's photography! The foliage was absolutely stunning ahhhh.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

His photography is beautiful right?

[@Karen_esque]

Currently Hannah Yes!! He makes me want to go to all of the places he visits!

[@Sylentmana]

Autumn as a season just has a magical air about it. Even more so when you combine it with a Japanese festival. I really miss my time in Japan. My social anxiety really prevented me from doing more there, but now that I have it under control I really want to go back and visit.

[@kris.007]

I feel like I just watched a live anime episode. The editing is beautiful and the shooting is fantastic. This was art.

[@LaurensTravels]

Your videos always make me want to drop everything and just go to Japan. I really hope to visit one day. The food looks so tasty!

[@p5gBand]

I love your videos (well, the 2 that I've watched anyway). Good luck with your channel.

[@evolutionxbox]

Stunning footage. Your videos are so peaceful

[@SaugotChowdhury]

I want you to travel more and more 😍😍😍 and bring us amazing content. I am not skipping KZbin adv in your videos anymore

[@JennTasya]

ahhh mt Takao was one of my favourite places in Tokyo 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 just gorgeous

[@ryantanakaphoto]

A very cute and seasonal video Hannah. Beautifully made. 👍🏻 #yeah

[@Vaniaym94]

Oh Hannah this video is beautiful!

[@kammymarie13]

It took me like an hour to watch this video because my Internet is really shit where I'm staying right now but I refuse to watch a Hannah video in anything less than 1080p

[@Poweregg28]

what a wonderful video!

[@edwinrosales6322]

Great video, awesome visual aesthetics and music, thank you!

[@AndyJapandy]

Man, I gotta check these matsuri out when I go study abroad in Tokyo next month!!

Hannah does not just make youtube videos, Hannah is creating art!

[@janenoviza539]

Soo happy to see you back in japan 😊😊

[@francodambolena]

Great videos to start one's morning, soothing music.

[@xxkatastrophikxx]

Thank you so much Hannah for creating such awesome content! I myself am living overseas in South Korea (Originally from Hawaii) and seeing how you're able to travel solo; at times, motivates me to do the same and get over anxiety. Keep up the awesome work!

[@stevensbirds4455]

This is a really good video. A+. Thank You Hannah.

[@Lisa-gq7qh]

I have to compliment your videography skills and editing!! Creators like you are really upgrading the quality of videos on youtube! Good job, really!! I just always know that when I’m about to watch one of your videos, there’s going to be enjoyable content, thank you!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

God I miss Japan :( Thanks Hannah for keeping the dreams alive. Love watching your videos. xx

[@lm-pw9ul]

My favorite season Autumn. I love mochi too. And Japan.

[@NewCreation1681]

It would be a dream come true for me to see the taiko drums being played in person, in Japan !! Thank you for sharing this!!! ✌🏻💕(( the drums are so powerful and beautiful wrapped into one package...I get so emotional when I hear them😂))

[@Viajeroamit]

What a lovely cinematic experience. Nice job . God bless.

[@alhamsatriasaktihusni8250]

The cinematic scene and audio background remind me a Makoto Shinkai anime, "The Garden of Words"

[@sushidouglas5452]

Wow! How wonderful was that...

[@ThatKrazyAsianGuy]

That Mochi looks insane. I love Mochi. So looking forward to travel to Japan. Hopefully it will be soon

[@leeannjames]

great footage! awesome!

[@mizuurii]

Just discovered your channel and I'm honestly in love????

[@alecbdavis]

I love your videos. Binged watched a lot today shamelessly. One of my dreams is to visit Japan

[@inievezi]

So freaking beautiful video ♥

[@beczillavlogs]

Loved Mt Takao when I climbed in 2016... although it was summer, so super hot and muggy!! This is a beautiful way to see it, in Autumn!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oooft that sounds rough haha

[@vivekrawat6093]

This makes me wanna go to Japan even more

[@JapaneseHistory]

I love Mt Takao. So close to Tokyo for a nature experience. 👍

[@MrCuriousk]

beautiful, thank you

[@norbertwielage6222]

Beautiful. Love your Videos ❤️

[@SoniaDekker]

Beautiful video.

[@kungfool69]

AHA! that black sesame!!!! so glad you got to try it so far. I bought one of each, thinking my wife would try it too, but she didn't SO I HAD TO EAT IT ALL MY SELF! Glad you had a great time there! That ferret certainly topped off the video ;)

[@patkay]

yayyy fun! until the next dango adventure 😊

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hell yeah!

[@Japanesefood1000]

とても心地よい映像ですね。参考になります。

[@kissypants7]

Thx for reminding me to pick up a couple boxes of mochi during my next pass thru L.A's Little Tokyo district. Yes, they are absolutely delicioso.

[@robertmaddelena7890]

Very nice. Good fillming.

[@Atem_S.]

The drum show, that must've been epic!

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Yeah I thought the same. I've seen one in my region just a few weeks ago and I randomly teared up in the middle of the crowd.

[@Atem_S.]

@@WhatashameMaryJane too much emotions...

[@nyonyopraia]

@@WhatashameMaryJane I like your videos a lot. Trekking in Italy was good.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

@@nyonyopraia Thank you so much! 😊

[@IzzysTravelDiaries]

There's a Taiko drumming group that tours and I went to one of their performances. It was awesome! I'm not a huge fan of mochi, but loved red bean paste so much when I was there.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

It was my first time seeing a big performance like this and it was really awesome!

[@TheCoddiwompler]

What a beautiful place! Your cinematic sequences are so wonderful. So peaceful. I just need those on loop on the tv, glass of wine, and a fireplace going. Yup...that will do. :)

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Aww thanks so much! I really enjoyed editing this one because it felt like the shots kinda fell into place in the edit :)

[@TheCoddiwompler]

@@CurrentlyHannah So nice when that happens! Better than struggling to get the story right because you don't have the footage you need. :) ...I say out of annoyed experience..ha!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

@@TheCoddiwompler Ooooo yeah I've been there before too :(

[@vitovito1]

185k subs!!! Keep it up!!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💖

[@bambershay7153]

Thanks for these views. My family is in Kyoto, apparently we’re associated with the temple there. Grandma lost touch with them over tensions with her marrying an American and leaving. Super appreciate the sneak peeks

[@edoardopolo8363]

Nice video!! 🙂 Now that I’ve moved from Tokyo to Melbourne you’re my eyes in Japan 🇯🇵 😉

[@honeydew9575]

I love ur videos thank u so much

[@kemuri_dai1603]

Mt.Takaosan is nice to be week end people around Tokyo😊

[@uaweezaherri]

wow your work is really good, I'm subscribing :)

[@felixsmittick9128]

I ❤ taiko drums!!! 😄

[@bingbongbingbingbong87]

Does anyone know the name of the piano pieces that were playing in the background? Was absolutly beautiful with the sceneries in the video

[@ganeshasabe7859]

Love you Hannah 😘😚😙

[@user-jd7gb2xt5h]

Beautiful👍

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

Beautiful video 😀 We are so addicted to mochi now too. I think next time we go we'll just do a mochi crawl - festival to festival 😁🍡🍡🍡

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oooooh a mochi crawl sounds amazing

[@kinkurou52style]

Wow! I met you at Mt Takao. When recording Japanese drums.

[@zbeebs]

I've always wanted to visit Japan during cherry blossom season, but videos like this make me think it might be better to visit in autumn.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I honestly don’t know which one I love more!

[@zedamex]

Depends if you have allergies to cedar or not. Spring for the locals is hey fever fest.

[@fredbossenmeyer4123]

Superbe vidéo
