This is Japan! by Eric Testroete

If you are reading this you probably agree with me that Japan is a fascinating country. I got interested in Japan many years ago and no matter how I dive into the people, culture, practices, history etc I still feel like I am only at the tip of the iceberg. I like anime, manga, technology, science and all that other otaku/geeky stuff about Japan but my interest in Japan is not limited to those areas. I surfed into another cool time lapse type video recently but this one is made out of pictures.

The video itself seems to be a collection of all the photos that Eric Testroete and his girlfriend took on a 3 week trip to Japan starting from when they are on the plane before arriving in Tokyo. It then follows their adventures as they visit places all over Japan from Tokyo to Kyoto to Hiroshima and many places in-between. Add in cool music and you have an super cool video! Check out screenshots and the entire video below.

    The building is Toudaiji in Nara. Largest wooden structure in the world.

    I think I might have seen that video at a sushi place before. Or a similar one.
