Old Kobe, Japan - Arima Spa 1952 昭和の日本

[MichaelRogge]

It is a wellknown Japanese folksong. I forgot the name. It is known in many versions This is one I took from a 55 year old 78rpm record, which i do not have anymore. May be one of the Japanese viewers know.

夏真っ盛りの有馬温泉か木曽路に行って見たくなりました！！

ちなみに、木曽川のほとりに住む愛知県民です。

しげちゃんでした（^_^）

木々を見るだけでその当時の香りや感じまで来てしまうのは、私だ­けでしょうか

カラーというのがすごい。

現在の有馬とはまるで別物ですね。

Very, very beautiful Japan!! Thanks for this one! How cute the little ones! Who is the singer?

有馬温泉なのになぜ木曽節が流れるのか理解に苦しみますが、

音と歌い手はすばらしい！

[MichaelRogge]

Mind you. This is what it looked like 58 years ago!

@MichaelRogge Right.  Now it's a Wal Mart

[MotoscuterZ]

@MichaelRogge It was a better place back then !

The people were more simple minded, not the freaks they are today ,,, so much obsessed with technology and physical aspect !

The clothes kids are wearing in the video looks pretty much the same as those worn by kids born in 1960s. It seems that Japan has gone through postwar modernization quite fast in early 1950s.

Thanks for the great video.
