"It's too good..." Record of a trip to the northernmost remote island of Japan! Video filmed by university students becomes a hot topic: "It's youth"
Rebun Island, known as the northernmost remote island in Japan, is a small island with an area of about 80 square meters, located about 60 km west of Wakkanai. The travel record of a group of university students who spent a summer on Rebun Island is attracting attention on social media.
I've always loved the Rebun Island Vlog I shot with the Lumix GH5 that I bought for 70,000 yen.
For just 70,000 yen, it can shoot in 10-bit Log and has 5-stop image stabilization, so if you're looking to get started in videography, I think you should buy it without hesitation. It's an overwhelmingly good value camera...

Quoted from @7shikiwakko's post
Nanashiki, who posted the video, said that he visited Rebun Island in August 2024 during his summer vacation as a second-year university student. While spending time with friends, he said he was overwhelmed by the "difference in scale" of the island.
Since coming to the northernmost region, I have always been surprised by the difference in scale. When I come into contact with things or phenomena on a scale different from the one I am usually exposed to, there are moments when I feel my own outline as an individual living organism become more distinct. I felt that it was like a single oil floating in cold soup, or a flying insect that has wandered into a house. It was almost my first experience, but I thought this sense of outline was very beautiful.
A trip to Rebun Island might provide you with the opportunity to escape from your everyday life and reexamine your existence amidst the vastness of nature.
