September 2023 Postcard is a remarkable story!

AN episode scheduled for release on Sept. 29 will show the HIBAKU RESSHA or A-bomb Trams of Hiroshima, a symbol of the city and after this episode, you will see Hiroshima differently. I interviewed 92 year old Sasaguchi-san who was the train conductor on the first train back on Aug 9, 1945. She was 2km away from the blast. A miracle and an inspiration today. Share in this story with this month's card. Thank you for being a part of this too! John

Circling the AmazIng Shrine in Kochi

I upscaled it to 8K 120 and the drone crashed in the tree as soon as it was right behind! 😂 We we’re able to get it out and save it before sunset. Thankfully, not a big tree!

Meet Emi, my assistant

Emi came with me to help support the shoot in Hiroshima. It was a massive help! She lives in Shizuoka with her family and mostly remote - so it’s special when she can come out and do some work on location! Thank you Emi!! Otsukare!! (She has to take the Hikari from Nagoya Station, I go to Tokyo 😅)

Film and maybe live stream what it’s like on the anniversary of the bombing. I leave for Nara at 3:30pm! Funny, this job — it’s about the story, but there always needs th be a little time to appreciate it, the view, the experience. So yeah, I had a nice Ekiben and hot coffee and just passing Kyoto!

Kagoshima Shoot cancelled due to TYPHOON 🌀

I was planning to filming in Kagoshima for a main channel episode early next week but it was cancelled due to a freak typhoon that is returning the way it came - back to Japan. It will rake Kyushu so flight, rental car, hotel, boat was cancelled but may be rescheduled for mid August. I’ll take you to Kyushu again soon — maybe even later in August as the weather clears up. I’ll be in Hiroshima and Nara on Sunday, Monday. August is getting exciting! Tokyo Firebombing of 1945 episode neari...
