>> "Despite the other comments, the landing spot is clearly the same as where it took off."
Nope.

Video three and four clearly show it lands a little bit away from the risers. Same pad, but only 1/2 comments--not mine--suggested it was a different pad.
In this video [0] at the 50-51s mark you can see the rocket landing just meters away from what looks like the 4 metal standoffs it took off from.

This is Taiki site, so either within the circular pad at (42.500394123580, 143.43589082745), or maybe from the end of 08R to neighboring Interstellar Tech pad area?
I thought that at first when I went looking for it, but the pad in the video from the rocket's perspective is an octagon. It's more consistent with this: https://www.google.com/maps/search/honda/@42.5442372,143.493...
The surrounding features are a match.
Someone must have run out and grabbed the risers.
