Unagi Bento on a Japanese Riverboat Cruise | Shimanto Yakatabune Experience

The Shimanto River is one of the last free flowing rivers in Japan, the clean waters home to over 200 varieties of fish life and home to the yakatabune, festive riverboats that cruise up and down with unagi bento! The area is famous for its unagi and I've got one for the trip!
Sit back and enjoy the emerald blue waters of Kochi's Shimanto River.

Sure your not near people that often. But makes me jealous, why more people don't live in the country side. Such a beautiful scenery.

    14:06 you know it's filmed in 8k when you can make that kind of digital zoom without losing quality haha! I love these new types of videos you have been experimenting on this go channel after that 8k Asakusa video. They still have that live feeling of us being there with you but with the amazing video quality. Of course the live streams have their own charm with the interaction (like those "who wrote that?!" -moments, always cracks me up lol!) but I think you have really good balance going on with these currently, keep it up! 👍

    @@Starborn63 I think you misunderstood my point. This video is rendered and uploaded as 1080p. But in order to make so huge digital zoom in post-production with still retaining that same 1080p pixel ratio the original raw video must have been shot in way way higher resolution, in this case most likely in 8K.

    All KZread has to do is allow for the video to be recorded, cached and uploaded following the live stream for 4K Resolution. No reason to need two cameras. The iPhone 13 Pro’s processor and most new smartphones can do what desktops did a few years ago. I think it’s just a matter of time but I simply can’t wait. We’ll have a little of both upload and live for a while until KZread ups it’s app. They haven’t done much of anything for mobile live streaming in 3-4 years. I still have to take a 3-second thumbnail as a default and reupload a better one later … weird.
