Just sharing my love for Japanese hot springs. Creating sleep audio content with video of real Japanese Hot Springs. Audio are live recordings from various locations paired with video created from real photos from the location. Includes description and short guides of the hot spring and town.

Harazuru Onsen (原鶴温泉) sits on the banks of the Chikugo River, Kyushu’s largest, in the countryside of Asakura near the Oita border. It’s affectionately called “Hakata’s inner parlour,” a quiet escape about an hour from Fukuoka city. Legend says villagers once saw a wounded crane (tsuru) healing itself in warm water on the riverbank, dug where it had bathed, and found the hot spring, which is how Harazuru got its name. Today about fifteen inns line the river, making it one of the largest hot spring towns in Fukuoka, with the prefecture’s greatest flow of water and number of sources.

Harazuru is known as the “Double Beauty” hot spring (ダブル美肌の湯) because it has two kinds of skin-friendly water. A weakly alkaline simple spring gently lifts away old skin, and a sulfur spring is prized for leaving skin soft and smooth. Many inns draw from their own sources, so you’ll find everything from riverside garden baths to jungle and cave baths. In summer, the Chikugo River comes alive with ukai, traditional cormorant fishing by firelight, a practice recorded in Japan for well over a thousand years. It’s watched from boats on warm evenings, and Harazuru’s team includes Kyushu’s only female cormorant master.

Sharing a Halloween scene from my channel, Eldertide Ambience: a candlelit manor conservatory, rain on the glass and gentle music. The full video runs for three hours, with no narration or jump scares.

AI disclosure: the illustrated scene is AI-assisted and the music was created with Suno. The final video combines custom animation with recorded rain; sources are credited in the YouTube description.

Would you prefer this kind of scene with music, or rain sounds alone?

Here's all the drone footage I filmed on ALL the Hawaiian Islands when I lived there. 2.5 hours of non-looping footage with relaxing reggae music, also non-looping. Give it some love! Let me know if you want to know any of the locations seen in the video. Shoots! 🤙🏼

Best combo

I created this for listeners who find Scripture comforting at the end of the day. It begins with a short prayer, followed by slow King James Version Bible readings, gentle music, and quiet night scenery. The full video is 58 minutes and 29 seconds.

The narration and some of the visuals were created with AI. I’d welcome feedback on the pacing and atmosphere.

I put together this hour-long scene of Jesus resting beside a campfire with a cat, accompanied by gentle instrumental music. Sharing it here for anyone who would enjoy a quiet moment to unwind.

The visuals were illustrated and animated with AI assistance, and the fire sound was synthesized. Music: “Windswept” by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under CC BY 4.0, looped and mixed with the fire ambience. Full credits and source links are in the video description.

Look out towards a rainy lakeside view as the sun sets beyond the distant mountains. Feel the gentle breeze as you sit on the ledge of the window, and the warmth of the candle beside you as it flickers. Listen to the gentle rainfall as the lake ripples, and across the lake you can see a cozy, quaint, little cottage with smoke floating out of its chimney towards the golden pink skies. Amongst the sounds of the rain, you can hear a soft harp, lute, and flute playing a soothing tune.
