Evening walking to Yokote castle in snow, Akita, Japan, 2025 • 4K
No talking or faces, just natural surround sound.
Yokote is a city in the southeastern part of Akita Prefecture. There’s a snow festival here in February, which some say is even better than the one in Sapporo. However, this time it was a quiet town.
I stopped in Yokote, planning to explore the neighboring stations, but I got sick on the day I arrived.

Dziękuję za piękny spacer❤😊
Thanks😊
thank you!
❤
Can you make snow ball out of snow
Are there Fruits on the Trees?
I bet it's more relaxing when Rambalac can watch along with the viewers. Truly an experience <3
I'm starting my morning here in Ohio with your video, I've been a long time fan of yours. God bless you brother.
29:40 onwards, kinda love these area
49:20 super step walk 💀 but it's worth it
Thank you! I really enjoyed this walk.
В Японии есть снег, а у нас нет. Копец.
The big snowplow drifts along the side of the roads remind me of when I was a kid and all of us in the neighborhood would use the biggest ones for elaborate construction projects. This town either has well-behaved kids or the snow was too recent, there's a few there that would make for some epic snow forts.
So nice – the snow covered hill, samurai pond, and the traditional castle on the top – true Japanese winter image of our dreams ❄🏯❄💖… The castle was reconstructed in 1965 but the 16th century spirit of the samurai times sure can still be felt there 🤗. Beautiful night view of the city – and of the river before. I was happy, this time the little snowman didn't fell down by himself, nor was ''executed'' ⛄😅 !! Liked the atmosphere of the walk, a bit melancholic – the weather, the hour… ❄💙❄😊👍
I read an interview where you said that good shoes are very important. Do you have special shoes?
I enjoyed the video thank you ✨️⛄️
Thank you for the wonderful video, Rambalac.
This is the sort of video people can experience a few years before unaligned artificial super intelligence wipes everyone out.
Merci pour cette vidéo. Votre pays est magnifique sous la neige.
❤️💜💚🩵🩷🧡💛Eu Amo Muito o Japão
Present!
Video çok güzeldi, çocuklarımla birlikte Televizyondan izledik, çok keyif aldık, karlı havayı severiz, karlı görüntüler güzeldi. Teşekkürler👏❄️😊
The snow is mild down there. Nothing compared to up here in Canada though!
Don’t your wrists and shoulders get tired from the weight? The camera and the gimbal weighs like 1.4 kg doesn’t it?
I tried using my iPhone 16 Pro Max and the DJI OM6 gimbal for a week of filming on a different account but my hands and arms hurt so much it wasn’t a sustainable method.
Wondering if you’ve ran into similar problems.

i loved this walk Rambalac. really peaceful. i visited Akita once in 2012, for the contemporary art museum.
56:00 op I heard that rumble xD time to get get a snack lol
can someone tell me why his videos look so bright in my phone. i used to have an android and it was okay but now i have iphone and i cant watch these at night cause its very very bright
i don't see any Akita Inus, so it must be fake
Cute snowman!
That was an amazing walk. Thanks for taking us along.
Nice bridge snowman!
Nice video. BTW, does anyone know what these little sprinklers at 12:40 are good for?
Hi there Rambalac. Don't you feel many times your videos (the recent ones for the past year or maybe more) look a bit dark sometimes? Like if the camera was under exposing on purpose? I feel the overall brightness is not consistent and this darker moments make the HDR experience a little more dull. Is it maybe because of the camera you use?
I love to watch all that snow. It must to be very cold, but I like it❤
37:30 is that a voice activated vending machine? 😮
Удивительно белый снег в городе!☁☁
Йокоте! Милейший городок. Предлагаю вернуться туда 15 -16 февраля на фестиваль снежных камакур и поснимать красивые вечерние виды )))
Unfortunately, it's not possible to click several times on like button on youtube, but I love each of your videos ❤
