Tokyo's Spring Wildlife Kingdom ― Okutama, Japan (3x10)

Air date: Oct 18, 2019

Wildlife cinematographer Nobuaki Hirano is on a one-year quest documenting the four seasons in Okutama on the outskirts of Tokyo. In spring, he heads into the mountains to track down a mysterious haunting "call" that permeates the nighttime air. Meanwhile, he hears that local villagers have identified a possible culprit raiding old hornets' nests. All of this takes place against the backdrop of spring, the season of new life. What Hirano's lens captures will certainly warm your heart!
