A Look at the Japanese City of Morioka

Morioka in northern Japan is the capital of the Iwate Prefecture. I went there recently for a festival where they burn makeshift boats for Obon - the festival for honoring their ancestors' spirits.

In this video I take a look at the city of Morioka itself and talk a little about its past and some of its sites.

You talk too much :/

@HotPinkFlames how original! Like any of you muppets know anything about the city to begin with. Pardon me for trying to enlighten people. go watch some cat videos

The guy making this video is a dork and spends way too much time focusing the camera on his own ugly mug. Morioka IS a great city (lived there for a year in the 90s and loved the place), but this video would've been better made by someone else.

@uricehe4 piss off little wanker

dude, you talked too much. we want to see the city, not you. sorry, we can see gaijin anytime.

[RoninDave]

@risingsun08107 oh be quiet, you moron. Go watch someone else's videos and don't bother me with your prattle. Watch me if you want to actually learn something. Watch someone else if you just want to see pretty pictures with no context or background.

Awesome picture quality, Dave - what camera did you shoot this with? It has a very nice low light picture in the Ho Onji temple.
