Gentle Japan
Hi, I’m Mike. Welcome to Gentle Japan.
This channel is my way of sharing the places I love — quiet streets, old temples, peaceful parks, and everyday corners of Japan that most people never see. I film what catches my eye and let the sounds and atmosphere tell the story.
I’m learning as I go — about filming, storytelling, and finding calm moments in busy days. All of this is leading up to something special: my second Shikoku Pilgrimage in October 2026.
If you enjoy seeing Japan at a slower pace, you’re in the right place. Grab a cup of tea, take a breath, and come walk with me through Gentle Japan.
