Riding the bullet train (also known as Shinkansen) is easily the most convenient way to travel between cities in Japan.
Japan 日本| HyperJourney
a travel video by Jared Hinz
From roaming the busy streets of Tokyo to snowboarding the slopes of Hakuba, Jared and his crew explored Japan to the fullest on a journey across some of the must-have experiences in this timeless country in East Asia - all captured in his unique, creative style.
This is the second part of my HyperJourney series. The aim of this series is to provide context through emotion in a cinematic medium. My passion is travel filmmaking and this series is the start of my journey.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For this trip I enlisted a crew of the best storytellers to journey through the intellectually intricate country of Japan for 4 minutes. Over 3 weeks we sped around Tokyo in real life Mario Karts, fed bowing deer in Nara Park, snowboarded the mountains of Hakuba, kept quiet around the peaceful Nagano snow monkeys, drank too much sake and regretted it, belted karaoke tunes til they kicked us out, were put in a state of historical disbelief in the midst of Hiroshima park and many more culturally fuelled adventures.
I'd be naive to say that I could capture the essence of an entire country in under five minutes. Through this piece I tried to link faces, stories, sounds, prayers, voices, expressions, landscapes and more to create what I call a visual HyperJourney. Thank you to the people we met, laughed with, ate with, learned from, and celebrated with; you made us feel welcome.
Special shout outs to the boys that made this trip unforgettable: Jake, Zak, Michael, Ryan, Josh, and Jordan.

Japan in a Nutshell
Sorasak
There is no denying that the different layers – and islands – of Japan are quite literally awe-inspiring. Be it experiencing the cherry-blossom in Okinawa, a hike through the vibrant Okutama natural park, temple-hunting in Kyoto, admiring the symmetric Mount Fuji or joining in on the rush of Tokyo and shopping in eclectic Harajuku – Japan offers something to fulfil everyone’s expectations. And what’s more, the Japanese are known for their humble natures that make travellers feel welcomed and wanting to board on a bullet train to explore all that Japan has to offer.
Park Hyatt Tokyo

Immortalized on the screen by Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation movie), the hotel's New York Bar offers uninterrupted views across Tokyo's scintillating skyline. Apart from the spacious rooms and suites, guests staying at Park Hyatt Tokyo are welcomed to use the ravishing 20-metre pool on the 47th floor.

As you are about to discover, Japan is way more than its crown jewels of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Head to the country's landlocked Nagano prefecture, only to find one of Japan's most scenic rural landscapes: Kiso and Mount Ontake, the second-highest volcano in Japan. Follow the footsteps of Lukasz Larsson Warzecha and Ulrika Larsson and it won't take long before you wish to start packing.

Insights from Tokyo...
Tokyo would probably be the foreign city if I had to eat one city’s food for the rest of my life, every day. It would have to be Tokyo, and I think the majority of chefs you ask that question would answer the same way.
Anthony Bourdain, American Chef
Our Focus in Japan
Tokyo has long since been the first stop for travellers when visiting Japan and what with it offering a “city that never sleeps” vibe, one can totally understand why it is such a massive draw.
