Kounosu firework festival in Saitama prefecture is definitely worth going, particularly for the world’s largest firework of yonshakudama firework display. I must say, however, Nagaoka firework festival in Niigata prefecture is considered the greatest firework festival in Japan. Because of its highest quality of the fireworks in terms of overall artistic quality, creativity and spectacle. The other great one is Ōmagari firework festival in Akita prefecture which is as fantastic as Nagaoka’s. According to its website, Nagaoka’s firework is on August 2 and 3. This is Nagaoka firework festival website. nagaokamatsuri.com/topics/2532/ Also, Omagari and Kounosu websites are: www.tokyoweekender.com/event/omagari-fireworks-festival/ kounosuhanabi.com/ You can take a look at some of the past Nagaoka and Omagari fireworks on RUclips and see what you think.

Asakusa's samba carnival is quite a spectacle. It's a must see festival and you''ll be blown away! Japan is a beautiful country with lots to see and explore. And great food!

Yes, it's open to the public. You need to make a reservation in advance for a guided tour. global.jaxa.jp/about/centers/tksc/

My pleasure 😊

Peacefulness created with beauty and serenity in harmony.

Good to hear you made it back in one piece! I remember, standing on top of El Cap, I feared one slip would be the end of my life.😅 So, I was careful not to venture out too much farther down to the edge of the cliff 3,000 feet above the valley floor! 😬 It's a great hike, but rather strenuous. The reward at the end of the trail is spectacular and worth the effort, however.🤩 The funny thing is you notice Yosemite's famous monolith is missing when you take a panoramic view of the valley from the top. Then, you realize you are actually ON IT!😆 Thanks for watching and glad the video brought you back to the memory of your El Cap adventure!👍

A work of art

The new Bay Bridge, which spans between Oakland and Treasure Island, is beautiful. The bridge initially had no path for pedestrian/bike, but later they built a pedestrian/bike lane so that people could walk/bike across the bridge. Now you have two bridges that you can walk/bike across in SF....Golden Gate Bridge and the new Bay Bridge! Thanks for watching!

Hope you can make it there! Thanks for watching.

Thanks! Lots to see and do in Tokyo!!

Hope this is another good wildflower season in southern CA. Good luck and enjoy! Help preserve beautiful nature!

nee poliyano , good 💞💞💞

Yes, very beautiful! Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed it!!

You spent 92 days living there in the lookout? Wow! That must have been awesome. 😎 You must have been a ranger, I guess?....unless you were a hermit!? 😁 Sourdough Mountain is a great hike even though irt's ather challenging because of elevation gain. Panoramic views from the top are spectacular. Since the top is spacious and not crowded with hikers, you can have it all for yourself! The lookout was in great shape and did look in use, neat and clean when I hiked up there in 9/2016.

@@lifeisamt I had applied for work in the national Park system the year before. They called me at the beginning of Summer of 69. I was made a GS3 fire control aid. Federal employment. That gave me an in for my next federal job. That one lasted 37 years. Once again good video. Wish I could make it up there one more time. God bless America

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks. Cheers!!

Yes! So beautiful and mesmerizing!

Thanks. God bless and cheers!

Yes, he played the crab vendor in this Honda CM. Connecting the dots....Vitto Scotti was a SF born Italian American, which means he was an authentic San Francisco native! Nice to see him in this CM filmed in SF playing the crab vendor at the famous Italian restaurant Alioto's! 🦀🛵

Indeed, it is one of the most religiously significant and architecturally prominent modern buildings in Japan. Regardless of religion or faith, the architecture of the cathedral impresses visitors leaving the place with awestruck sensations no doubt. Great that you didn't miss the opportunity to visit it during your trip to Japan. Btw, have you ever visited St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco? I used to go there and it always reminded me of St. Mary's in Tokyo. Both cathedrals are equally magnificent.

@@lifeisamt Thank you for responding. There are similarities between San Francisco and Tokyo RC cathedrals; but that of Tokyo pre-dates that of San Francisco by around forty years, or more. Whilst we are well-travelled Brits, my partner and I (75 & 70) are unlikely to fly again, owing to all the covid crap going on. We will simply enjoy our memories and photographs.

Great you made it! Indeed, it's a pumping iron hike! 😅👍

@@lifeisamt actually I didnt make it the first time but I just went back yesterday and made it all the way through I feel just like Rocky when he beat Clubber Lang🥊

Yes, indeed. Good old days!…you meet the nicest people on a Honda! 🛵😉

「ローマの休日」を見てるみたいです。 It's like watching "Roman Holiday".

Thanks. Cheers!

Scrambled egg with bitter melon, chives, chili pepper and shrimp! 😋

Thanks for watching! SF and GGB....what a beautiful city and an iconic bridge with spectacular vistas!

It's a great panoramic view of SF you can see from Bernal Heights...kind of hidden gem only known by locals? as most tourists and outsiders go somewhere else (GGB, Twin Peaks, Coat Tower) for a view. Lucky that you used to hike up there every weekend! 👍 SF is such a beautiful city!

Music used is “Lighter Than Air” by Zhao Cong.

@@lifeisamt thanks - I like it.

Yes, indeed!🌸⛩🗻🎍🚅🏯👘🎎♨️and great food!!😋🍣🍱🍙🍚🍜🍤🦪🍥🍢🍡🍶

It is indeed such a majestic church. You feel it as soon as you step inside.

Thanks! It's a small plot, but still takes a lot of work. 😅 We'll see how the season will go! 🧑🏻‍🌾

Good to hear….finally you’ve found it! Thanks for watching. And you meet the nicest people on a Honda! 🚙👍😉

Amazing hike! Thanks for watching.
