  • Beauty of Achi Village (Nagano Prefecture), Beauty of Japan : Cinematic Edition

    Japan / PR movie / 2021 / 0:06:22

    Filmed throughout Spring, Summer and Fall seasons, the film guides the audience through the beauty of Achi Village. The beautiful and delicate guide represents our curiosity and our respect as guests to the village.Through her, we will see, touch, pray, feel, and celebrate both the natural elements and spirituality of Achi Village.
    The “Cinematic” video spans 3 different seasons, but it trajects like a full day from sunrise to night. In the second part of the film, a strong and elegant dancer will perform on an ancient shrine stage. The bright colors of the day will be replaced by the bold flames and stars shining in the night while the dancer pays homage to the protective deities of Achi Village.
    The film will conclude with the annual ritual of the fireworks’ cleansing, which is visually striking and is a great ending for our journey of Achi Village. Please enjoy the splendor and beauty of Achi Village.
