Which aquarium was your favorite? Today mine has to be Takashi Amano’s Manten Stone iwagumi at 7:35 as it’s always been a dream to see it in person 🥹

I am a big fan of Takashi Amano's last iwagumi style aquascape. Such a masterpiece with great energy! This must be Japan's most appreciated aquarist jewel of all time.

I wish IAPLC would go back to rate the nature style better over all this highly complicated artificial looking diorama style scapes that have taken over the competition in recent years.

insane video man. probably the best one on your channel. makes me so happy to see you still getting better over the years.

Beautifully edited, narrated, and executed buddy. Your doing great things for the hobby. Amano would be proud

Ryo... Well done. I have watched a few videos from other well known KZfaqrs about this gallery, and I think yours is the best yet. Instead of getting all "technical" about it, talking about the plants, the technics etc, you gave us the "spirit" of each aquascape which really draws the viewer in. Enchanting and respectful too. If I could give you a 1000 likes for this, I would. Well done. ❤️

just watched the whole thing :) wooow what a honour to go the NA Gallery it looks stunning. Brilliant video Ryo keep up the good work.

These types of videos inspire me but at the same time humble me. I’m miles away from even achieving such works of art. Amazing just simply amazing 😍🤙🏽

amazing video and footage of the ada gallery. I hope to visit it in person one of these days but I'll live through your videos for now. The voice over was perfect but different from your normal freestyle format. I love it. can't wait for the next video!

One of my bucket lists is to visit this absolutely breath taking museum. 😍. Thank you for the tour🤙🏽

Awesome tour Ryo!! Happy for you to have such an experience. Hope you are well my friend.

I have a childhood dream of being shrunk and then getting to dive in my aquarium. That dream, just came back to me at those beautyfull tanks. Thank you for sharing. ❤️😊

Iwagumi is still, by far, my favorite tank style. Iwagumi is pure, minimal, and beautiful. Iwagumi is Takashi Amano. Stunning video. Thank you. 🙏🏼

Thank you Ryo for doing this journey and bring the ADA gallery closer to everyone. Honestly, I was inspired to jump into this hobby by Sir Amano's tanks and believe many of us was too. From few years ago, the style of diorama takes quite a high rank in the competition worldwide and people easily are drawn by their impression. But here is nature, and glad that ADA employees and pro aquascaper there still keep the "spirit" of Sir Amano. Looking all the tank via your video kind like bright my vision, bring me back to the reason why I love this hobby and feel more about Sir's attitude. The cleanliness of glass, wires, combination of plants, healthy fishes, etc. All of them are perfect nature.

I'm speechless. I've seen many videos of ADA gallery but this one is my fav. How INSANELY gorgeous are those tanks ??? Perfectly balanced and your video does them justice. My motivation is greater than ever. Thanks Ryo

Thank you very much Ryo for this wonderful video. So even people who don't have the opportunity to visit the gallery can see these beautiful aquariums🙏🏻

You look so happy to meet the ADA suikei creators in the last picture! A memorable day.

Thank you so much for sharing. To visit the gallery is a dream, however watching this tour is the next best thing. Seeing all of the tanks, and visualising the space gives a more intimate impression, and your description a strong feeling of the ADA philosophies. A really well considered video and one I will look forward to watching again.

Every aquascaper's dream is to visit the ADA Gallery! Thanks for the tour ☺️🙏

Thank you for being an inspiration to your viewers and to have the consideration to go out of your way and detail every single plant and fish in the video, really shows how much you care :)

Best tour of the great Amano legacy thank you, Ryo ❤

I look forward to your uploads so much Ryo, thank you for the care and passion you put into your work and sharing this beautiful gallery ☺

WOW! Phenomenal video Ryo! One of my favorites... The videography, the descriptions of each tank, the music, the editing, etc.... I like them all! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for the tour that some might not be able to view it in our lifetime. Subscribed to your channel! 🎉

Youve come a long way, Ryo! I remember watching your first videos when you were a little kid in Singapore (?) and now youre at the mecca! :)

Hi ryo san, What an amazing video about the NA gallery 🤩🤩 Hope to visit it one day 🙏 Thank you for this amazing tour and good to see Ono san at this video. 💚 Have a great weekend with love from the Netherlands 🙏

Thank you, this is an amazing video showing the reflection of art at ADA! Amazing

Ryo this is such a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing this emotional experience. Your filming, editing, voice over, its incredible and all honoring the scapers and Amano. He'd be proud. Cheers, Ryo.

Wow,dream place to visited

Thank you Ryo, your vid is beautifully, with great sensitivity and appealingly done! Yes, the Manton Stone arrangement is just overwhelming, not only because it's Amanos last work but the strong impact of the stones he had chosen, their hight, their placement and the open spaces in between in conjuction with the small pebbles to both sides of the scape is for me THE masterpiece of Amano san because of its archaic and incredibly impacting simplicity. I see it as his statement in which his entire experience was expressed. Never ever should it be removed from the gallery.

Ryo, I know how much this visit and subsequently the video would have meant to you. Thank you for sharing it with us. The biggest compliment I can give you is that you transmitted the same passion through the video. Another great work by you. Can’t wait for you to work on a new long term ADA inspired scape (nature style please).

Dear Ryo, nice and great job! Thanks for inspiring us!

Beautiful. Thanks Ryo.

This was awesome to see! Great video Ryo! 🙂

Lovely video Ryo, thank you.

Beautiful video, documentation, narration, and music in the background, thank you for this memorable visit.

I've watched and liked all your other tours. And I happy for you that you had your dream tour. But I've already seen it on a couple other channels. Looking forward to more unique tours of yours. 👍✌️

Awesome! The video we all waited for. I appreciate the creativity and the work of all the "new" creators, however none of them can recreate the way Amano did his aquariums. Some of the layouts just seem to be overcomplicated and restless. Hard to explain.

Wooow beatufuil ❤️

Thank you for this tour ❤

Echt wunderschöne Aquarien hat Amano hier "hingezaubert"! 👍Was mir persönlich besonders gefällt, dass es "Naturaquarien" sind und keine künstlich wirkenden Landschaften unter Wasser...😉

Great video!!!!

MANY MANY THANKS!!!

Great gallery tour guide you are!

A delightful presentation. Thank you for such an amazing review👍

Amazing video !

Cool

Beautiful ❤

Beautifully set...

Super cool love your vids!

That’s fantastic!! Your videos are wonderful!! Great job Watanabee San 🙏🏽

The best aquascape design references video

Thank you for this video love it well done🎉

Amazing😮😮

Immoryal classic. Thsnks very much, Ryo, for sharing

beautiful fishes

Amazing Video. I love it very much. Could watch it all day long!

Un Saludo desde Honduras en Centroamérica: sencillamente impresionante tanto el vídeo como la galería, creo que sería el sueño de todo acuarista entrar a ese lugar, así como el musulmán tiene que ir a la Meca, pues así, al que le gusta los acuarios plantados debería visitar este lugar, francamente muy satisfactorio haber visto este vídeo.

🤩 это просто супер экскурсия по прекрасному месту 👍СПАСИБО! За возможность полюбоваться этим местом

wow a dream visit. Thank you :-)

Thank you for sharing! I am in the US California. Your video gave a chance to experience this gallery and aquascaping artistry I have not seen before. I have never heard of a Hakkai stone. Is that stone in your backyard or uncles? BTW great job on the back yard.

Love the tour and your so awesome at narrating.

Awesome video. 👊🏻 thank you 🙏

Amazing aquascape

Place is amazing!

He really built tanks with a photographer’s eye

amazing tanks, one thing I have noticed is they run insanely high BPS into the tanks

nice

Excellent I look forward to your posts❤️💚❤️🙏🙏🏻🙏🏾🇬🇧

Wonderful video ! Only open tanks and no jumping fish ? Thank you for showing us this great showroom.

I think Inoue san's aquascape with the fissidens and buce is the highlight of this iteration of the ADA gallery. I am not sure if I like the wild looking iwagumi since I am more used to Amano san's iwagumi style which requires meticulous nurturing to showcase the hardscape. Aside from that as usual Amano san's three aquascapes still are the key highlights of the gallery. I am glad they have been immortalized with the new frame to ensure that the tanks endure over time.

Very Beautiful 🌷

Thank you so much for sharing this experience 👏👏👏👏

Love the narration and video quality. Great job

Thanks for this great video Ryo ✌️

really cool! 진짜 멋지네요 ADA작품을 직접 보러 일본으로 한 번 가야겠네요.

Super nice! ❤

Dope, thanks for this!

This was such a delight to watch. Oh btw, its so nice to see a new video from you Ryo. You've been missed. Thank you for the upload. 😊 Edit: Forgot to add, there is something about tank no. 5 (at the 7:36 mark of the video) that I really like. I think this is my favorite, but all of them are beautiful.

Thanks for the Video. If you ever have the opportunity to visit a Takashi Amano Photo exhibition I would be thrilled to see a Video 😊

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! All is my favorite.

You lucky fish!

I hope Philippines has this

👍👍👍

👍🏻👍🏻

If i had a big house i would like to have a large 4 or 5 feet tank. You need lots of patience in aqua scaping, as it takes many months to get this outcome.

❤

Hi, I'm thinking about getting some medaka. But I have little space at hone and they would have to live in a pond outside. Do you know how hardy are they? Our winters are -11 - -13°C for 1-2 nights at most, but I also have a greenhouse, that at those nights went no cooler than -4°C. I have no option of getting cheap medaka to see how it goes because they are extremely rare where I live.

My favourite tank is at 14:36, can anyone give me a rundown of the plants used, e.g the mid and foreground green are these mosses? and looks like Ludwiga for the red stems, not massive amount of variety but gives such a stunning look!

In first tank of this video full aquarium is covered with all side which metal frame is this

IS this finally open? I thought it was permenently closed? Thanks.

ADA

Hey Ryo, is the gallery a seasonal open or all year round.

Hi :) i'm visiting Japan during november this year and i really like to visit the gallery, though it seems to be closed until further notice. It also is shown as closed on google maps. Does anyone have an information on it?

@RyiWatanabe What do i need to reproduce this tank at 17:42 ? plants, stones...? Thank you rfor your videos, big fan.

Wow great video now I really need to go their. Hope I can convince my girflriend to go on honeymoon to ADA :D Do you have more info on the nanotank at 22:35?

Hi Ryo may i know what the name of the black stone displaying in the front gallery? Can i get it in Sg?

Rất đẹp tôi yêu nó

Is that an upcoming Solar RGB 2 at 10:42? What does the display read?
