2:49 These girls would fit right into Japanese culture today.

I took a cruise to Japan in 1968 with my family. Not the same as this, but also nothing like today.

Good to see the deer were hassling people on Miyajima almost 100 years ago, too.

This is so crazy, seeing American flags hang in the streets of Japan before World War 2.

04:35 Foreigner feeds deer as exactly same as now.

2:49 Plot twist: those girl is a time traveler from 2019

The streets were as clean n organized as today’s, what a society!

2:50 "Oh no, hide your face, someone will recognize us in 2019." "Don't worry, they'll just think we were reincarnated."

I am very happy to see part of our country before it was destroyed in the war. Thank you to save this video.

it's like time travel & footage like these are rare these days.

当時の街中の音？が入っているのも雰囲気がリアルに感じられてよかった こういう古い映像って無音かBGMだけかぶせているのがほとんどだから

これ素晴らしいね 残して下さった人に感謝します有り難うございます

今いる奈良公園の鹿もこの子達の子孫かと思うと微笑ましい☺️ 鶴がいるのはびっくり！羨ましい！

美しかった時代の日本が見れて嬉しいです。日本髪を結っていた頃の貴重な映像を、ありがとうございます。 　　　2021年5月

Crazy to think that most people filmed here are probably passed away

モノクロでも美しいって本当に凄いな

It is such a beautiful country and with a wonderful culture, I would be proud of it, if I would have been Japanese. I am Dutch, and I think, our country could learn a lot from Japan. Service, politeness, honesty..... I do love Japan and the Japanese.

Thank you so much for sharing such a precious n rare video with us. Im from Nara and I found some scene were taken just besides our house. It didnt change at all. I hope you visit Nara,our acient city with lovely wild deers again.

この時代がいいな戦争で失ってしまったものが日本には多すぎる

なんか違和感があると思ったら、フィルム反転してたのね それにしても女学生さん可愛いね

2:48の女子高生、確かに現代と変わらない。驚き。

japan is beautiful. love the place and the people.

The tilte of this song is "China's night"...

街並、自然、全ての人のファッション、文化・風習・・・どれもがオシャレでファンタジックでパーフェクト。 この世界の10分の1でも日本に残ってくれていれば良かったのに。

ウチの90のばあちゃんも、こういう時代を生きてきたのか。

Respect from Colombia .....for the ancient land of Japan.

奈良公園に鹿じゃなくて、鶴が歩いていたのが一番の驚き！

白人のアメリカ人です。2:11から2:22までの視聴者に近づいている女性に魅せられてる！ 私はほとんどその美女に超自然に魅了されるところまで漕ぎ着けているよね。 忘れられない。

I live in Japan... Its crazy to see what has remained and what has changed.

These old videos of Japan in the early 20th century are one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It's so magical and aesthetically pleasing. Such a source of inspiration ❤️

奈良の鹿はいつの時代も鹿せんべいを求めてがっつくのね笑

この時代に戻ろう 人々の心の距離が近く 協力しあっているところがとても人間らしいく美しい

和服が今でも普段着感覚で着れるようになっててほしかったな

2:15 That woman knows she is being recorded and even smiled at us who is watching in 2021.

My mom was born and raised in Osaka. She would've turned 7 when this film was shot. Her older sister was very pretty when she was young. She was "Miss Tokyo" when she was 21 (about 2 years after this footage was shot). I bet Mom would recognize every scene in this video and probably remembered the song heard at the beginning too. Wish I could've showed this to her before she passed on. I'm sure she would've enjoyed seeing it.

この10年後にはこの人たちが戦争で苦しむと思うとなんとも言えない。

The atmosphere this film gives is so peaceful and homely in a melancholic way.

Beautiful footage of Japan. Japan still looks like that in 2019 when I visited. Well preserved!

フィルムの巻が逆のようで画像の左右が逆になっているものが前半にありました。着物の合わせでわかります。でも貴重な映像で興味深い映像をありがとうございます。

2:51 Those two girls looked very trendy. Just like they belong to current time

この映像裏返しですね。着物は右前、車は右側通行。

見せて下さりありがとうございます。

2:49 Clearly time travelers from the future who got the clothing for this period wrong.

飾り物じゃない本物の美だー…。

鹿が集まる奈良。 広島の厳島神社の鳥居 今と変わらない。 和服が着たいな。

"interesting" how they used a japanese song about China in the beginning

0:36 Interesting to see an American flag next to a Japanese flag knowing what was to come a few years later...

I think your clips are the jewels of KZfaq, i love watching them, thank you so much for uploading them all!

I’m still fascinated by those girls who were wearing skirts while everyone were wearing kimono’s I mean-

貴重な映像をアップロードしてくれて有難う。 現代の日本も観に来てください。

2分48秒〜54秒 当時から現代とかわらない制服ってあったのか。凄い不思議な感じ。

I cry it's so beautiful

日本がすきです。I love Japan so much!!

2:48の女子高生、 今ご存命なら104,5歳かぁ… 凄いな…。

Very impressive cinematography. Whoever the cameraman was they were an artistic genius.

I love those old walking roads with massive trees along them... they always remind me of those old Samurai movies and makes me feel melancholy, like when I see the little spirit houses along the roads or between some trees or rocks, it's just so magical and familiar. I've always longed for this life at the court in some early period of Japan, like some previous life I had even though I think that I must have hated it! All the pretend and strict rules. Urgh. But it would've been the small things like water streams, trees, birds, ancient temples, statues, poetry, kind spirits and love stories that make me long for it. Sometimes I think that people who adore anime once were Japanese in another lifetime. I do like some anime, but I am most touched by their passion of nature, food, family, honour and beauty. Wonderful Japan.

Never realized how popular the song "Shina no yoru" was. Thanks for playing.

So so beautiful.Thank you.

To me, it's not the first song but the traditional song that starts at the sitting buddha statue that is absolutely mesmorizing. It draws me into the past like a time machine. Thanks Mr. Rogge for sharing these beautiful and important memories. The more people see them someone will be touched by them as I am and the memory will be passed on. I admire this work.

It's amazing that these kind of clips are preserved. I traveled to Miyjima Island (Itsikushima) last month. And seeing it in the light of 1932 is just mind boggling. But truth be told, the beauty of this island is actually surprisingly similar, even today.

hope i get to return a few more times before i get too old and die, easily the most beautiful place i have spent time in during this life

他にも女の子たちが着物を着て羽根つきをしてる動画を見たことがあります今から90年前ぐらいに撮影されたものらしいです 当時、生きてた人の暮らしや生活を考えるとロマンみたいなものを感じます それでいて、皆さんが戦争を経験したことを思いいたたまれない気持ちになります

2:50 it's interesting that this 2 girls are dressed like normal school girl in 2019 while everybody has a traditional outfit

Isn’t it so fascinating and almost unworldly to think that the people in these videos lived the same life we are living they laughed they cried they breathed they died. Though their existence has faded but their presence is still there. Life is so fascinating isn’t it. ❤️

Amazing! Thank you for these beautiful images.

So beautiful. Thank u sir for all your wonderful videos.

「桜の地日本」ってタイトルセンスよすぎか

2:19 shes like "yo wassup man"

1:20 Deer in the Nara park, 1200 yr. tradition. Nothing has changed since.

Here i spot some monument... 0:25 Toshogu Shrine from Nikko [not quite sure] 1:20 Shinto Shrine in Miyajima 1:47 Torri gate in Miyajima

beautiful..this was the largest herd of deer I ever saw. So sweet and gentle. I hope we can all live in peace again.

みんな左利きかと思ったら反転か（笑）すてきな映像をありがとうございます。

Western culture and Japanese culture can co-exist as long as people of Japan will continue to preserve their cultural heritage as long as Japan exists.

Japanese culture is ancient and beautiful.

*_And Then*_*-- *_Japan 2019*_*--_Japanese man Married A animated character_

I've recently been watching videos of abandoned Japanese villages/houses in the mountains & the old paths that get you there. Japan has a 'spirit' that touches me, an Englishman very deeply 😊 👍

Loving these old footages

日本国旗の横にアメリカ国旗があるのは、きっとアメリカ使節団を歓迎してるレセプションだろうね。まだ日本とアメリカが戦争する前の話。

Absolutely incredible. KZfaq is extremely important for humanity simply for videos like these. Preserved (hopefully) forever.

いまのGHQに洗脳される前のほんとの日本

2:51当時の最先端ギャルですかね笑

I love Japan, 👍🇨🇳

This is the kind of Japan I really want to see

thanks for release, your short films.

Now, this is what I call pulling out the old recordings of the family cruise.

I just time traveled immersed in this video. Thanks.

This is by far the best vintage footage of Japan I've ever watched...!!! Nice...!! if I have a time machine, I would like to travel back in time...

This is so amazing. Like a walk through time. It’s crazy how the world as many people knew it is now completely gone 💕

There is no change of the beauty of Japanese mountain and the sky🏞🗻

I love you, Japan! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

たまには、都会を離れて奈良、京都の日本文化に触れるのも、いいな、と日本人でも思う。

Thank you!

in 1932 japan and america has a good relationship...

A good recording of what the nation of the rising sun was like before WW2

What an amazing piece of video. A stunning country that has kept hold.of its finest traditions

🌈🇯🇵凄い‼️映像🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵貴重な、映像です。。。💖💖💖💖💖💖🌈🌈🌈

2:49 1932年の黒タイツ

1:44 あたりの嚴島神社の景色は、今も変わってないですね

何この心に染みる感情は。とても切ない
