Flowing Stream and Morning Birdsong

This recording comes from the Enbara River in Yamagata, Gifu Prefecture, where spring water feeds a clear stream and distinctive birdsong can be heard from spring into summer. The bird sounds were newly recorded on site. The water is a constant bed of sound; the birds come and go above it.

Try it if you like the feel of early morning and want something livelier than water alone. Japanese Countryside Stream and Birdsong pairs the same elements, recorded in Azumino, Nagano, and runs longer (4 hours 24 minutes). For rain and running water without birds, choose Rain and Forest Stream.
