Nice to meet you. I'm Rio, a freelance video creator based in Japan.
For some time now, I’ve been sharing the beauty of Japan’s tourist destinations and traditional culture on TikTok. Having recently reached a milestone of over 10,000 followers, I decided to establish "hidanorio.com"—a dedicated space where I can express my vision more deeply and freely.
Why I Started This Blog
Videos capture the moment, but there are stories behind the lens that words can better preserve—behind-the-scenes insights, technical gear talks, and the meaningful encounters I have on-site. I want to share the "why" and "how" behind my work, along with my daily inspirations.
In this blog, I'll be sharing the stories behind my productions and my journey as a creator.
What to Expect
While the site is simple for now, I plan to showcase my portfolio, equipment reviews (such as my Lumix S5IIX and HC-X2000), and cinematography techniques here. I look forward to taking you behind the scenes of my creative process.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
