This is a revisit where I take better photos and cinematography to the abandoned luxury hotel opened in 1963. In 1996 the Hachijo Royal Hotel reopened as the Pricia Resort, which closed in August 2003 to re-open in 2004 as the Hachijo Oriental Resort. When the tourism boom came to an end, it struggled to attract guests and finally closed in 2006. The island is probably most famous as a diving spot, a tiny island that no one visits anymore. This is also the last episode to the Japan Ronin Series! ;( But no worries they will be more Japan series to come! I hope you enjoy this video!

I've wanted to experience another culture all my life. But at my age, I know that's never going to happen. So I experience my dream through you and others who do this type of thing. Thank you young man.
Steve I remember this place place & its so horrible that people have gone there & stole.I'm like u leave the places alone keep the time capsule for the next to enjoy.thanks for the sharing because I know I will never get to go :-)
I really liked it the first time but seeing it over again is really great. the views from the windows is stunning. really liked this one. thanks for taking us along
I'm a new subscriber, and I have to tell you how much I'm enjoying your videos! I wish I was young again so I could tag along with you on your cool journey, dude. Keep up the good work!
Hi Steve, Great video! - I think, it's a very good addition to your older video from two years ago. - Thank you for sharing your experience with us viewers. - Wishing you a lot more safe and inspiring explores. - Blessings and peace to you. Kindest regards from Switzerland.
I loved this hotel when you explored 2 years ago! Lot more nature decay but......it still has it's beauty! Loved the restaurant with all the beautiful sushi plates n bowls. Just pissed me off that people destroy n not respect the property. But someone has moved around things n put into piles. Just amazingly beautiful Steve! Another great video. Bless you for sharing it with me. Stay safe in all the places you are going.
Steve, I just wanted to say that I think that you and your friends are great people! You visit very interesting and historic sites to document them, not to destroy or loot them. You also demonstrate very good production work. I’m glad I found your site. Keep exploring and stay safe!
i never miss your videos because you make them so professional and with a huge respect to the place you’re a great explorer Steve and i have a very high respect for your work and you 😎👍🤘
I’m not sure what is more disturbing. Seeing a place as this that is undisputed or a place that has been trashed. This place is sad either way, as it was from years ago and no one seems to care. As usual Steve, your amazing photography and videography bring a certain peace to these places. Thanks for the memories.
My favorite video of yours - The best explore ever. I love how you said in the first video that nature reclaims itself. I've used that phrase many time since.
Frame 5:39 Nice photo love the red sofa, and I definitely do not remember this room. I like to look at everything the first time, back tracking the past. But daylight tends to put limits on how much our eyes can see, before it sets. So revisiting will show me something new, or shed new light on the old differently.
Great video Steve! I watched the video where you and the exploring crew were there before. Thanks for the memory refresh! I really hope you do come to Australia! It me up if you do!
This is a amazing video thank for encouraging people not to deface or steal I agree it looks the best when people just make video's and shoot pictures thank you for the great video be safe Steve
18:16 Spotted the furnace power socket for an electric fire in the left side of the fireplace. I figure that they had wood for show on one end, and a pile of fiberglass logs glowing on the other. 24:45 I'd like an onsen video of what they have on the island. ... Better yet, maybe just an overview ... at a distance. :) Stay safe.
Steve, I love all of your videos and when you do revisits... Please, keep them coming... They help me to get through my days, I have depression and anxiety & I look forward to watching you explore, it takes my mind off of things.. Thanks again...
hi im perlyn from philippines... i like your videos.... gives me lesson and im just also exploring when im watching it.... be safe always... more videos to watch....
Main thing is, Thank you for not touching, taking or destroying anything. That is a piss off when you see abandoned places like these just get trashed. Good job.
Makes me so sad seeing this giant hotel go to waste. To think of the amount of time put into building it! So disappointing, I wish it was renovated :( great video Steve!!✨
Love this Steve, I remember seeing your first visit here a few years ago! The dolls house, unfinished room, may have been for the guests in the pent house, so they could bring there pets?
I used to live in South Korea and there was this abandoned amusement park outside of a city called Daejeon. Would be amazing for pics and vid ;) love your vids
Can't believe the locals or anyone for that matter have not taken any of those nice chairs @ 23:32, new dinner ware, wicker furniture, paintings/prints, rugs, small refrigerators, wicker baskets, etc
First of all, you must had a very good good marketing team, to manage 'something' big like that. I'm a hotelier, and so sad find a big amazing hotel was left behind.
great video thanks for sharing. don't worry steve, I don't like to be naked either, especially in front of other people. lol amazing place, just watching it brings things to my mind wondering what it was like.
Honestly enjoy watching your videos. Wondering, are U from the States? East coast, Maryland. Keep going to all these amazing cool places. Safe travels to U & your company ✌
Frame 12:58 🤣Hey, even R2D2 needs a break from filming. While my friends were going crazy over Han Solo, I had a crush on Chewbacca! Ok! I know you're laughing!
I have always been attached to this kind of building、especially those who have to develop the economy of a region。Each time I am in front of this hotel、I bow to him because something tells me that his soul is somewhere and he is waiting to see people and take care of him。It would still be recoverable、even if it could be converted into permanent residence while keeping its historical aspect。

I WOULD LIVE IN AN ABANDONED MILLION DOLLAR PENTHOUSE..
I loved the way you did before and after, lots of urban explorers forget or neglect to do that... good job Steve as usual ur vids are amazing 👍
I've wanted to experience another culture all my life. But at my age, I know that's never going to happen. So I experience my dream through you and others who do this type of thing. Thank you young man.

Oh wow you really thinking of coming to Australia how awesome is that. You will have to bring some of the original crew with you..

What a beautiful place. Great job Steve. Always do an amazing job. Thanks
One word AMAZING. A time capsule that will eventually be taken over by nature, I'm so glad we got to see it. Thank you Steve and friends. 🇦🇺🇯🇵💖😇
You are very ethical...you have integrity...your parents must be very proud of you. 🌷🚍

That hotel is as old as I am. I was born in 1963. What a beautiful structure. I wonder how much it would cost to rehab it?
Tonya Hoover ok love

Dazza

That was awesome. Can't wait to see more bud

Steve Ronin the Hotel is amazing!😊
Main thing is, Thank you for not touching, taking or destroying anything.
That is a piss off when you see abandoned places like these just get trashed. Good job.
Makes me so sad seeing this giant hotel go to waste. To think of the amount of time put into building it! So disappointing, I wish it was renovated :( great video Steve!!✨
I WOULD DEFINITELY CAMP OUT!
WHY NOT? LOVE THE CARPET!
DO THEY HAVE RUNNING WATER?
HUh finally i found ur channel again...Missmissmisss❤
Beautiful Vids.... waiting for your Phils. Series.... Stay safe.
I love watching you videos!
Love this Steve, I remember seeing your first visit here a few years ago! The dolls house, unfinished room, may have been for the guests in the pent house, so they could bring there pets?
I love your calm laid back vibe
Awesome video brother 👍🏻
Love your videos and the way you do the camera shots
I love that carpet Steve!❤️❤️
Superb Camera work. Plz start Russian and central Asian series ,these areas are still unexplored.
Watching all videos sir steve,thank you and Godbless!!
amazing place very interesting video thanks 👍👍🤗🤗🤘🤘
Nice video of watching it again still cool👍
I used to live in South Korea and there was this abandoned amusement park outside of a city called Daejeon. Would be amazing for pics and vid ;) love your vids
The hotel is amazing, they could have used it for catering Wedding Receptions, and other private parties.
To me it's nice to see placed like this even though I'm not there thank you this old woman enjoy watching your videos
Can't believe the locals or anyone for that matter have not taken any of those nice chairs @ 23:32, new dinner ware, wicker furniture, paintings/prints, rugs, small refrigerators, wicker baskets, etc
It's Japan & on an island.
First of all, you must had a very good good marketing team, to manage 'something' big like that. I'm a hotelier, and so sad find a big amazing hotel was left behind.
Great upload as always. I think the small wooden rooms you said look like doll house's are pet stay rooms for cats and dogs to have a room.
great video thanks for sharing. don't worry steve, I don't like to be naked either, especially in front of other people. lol amazing place, just watching it brings things to my mind wondering what it was like.
I know it was so very beautiful thank you from Georgia
Amazing :-)
I wish I could do these types of explorations
Great job! Glad to see you again.
Grasias Ronin por llevarnos a lugares que no podemos vizitar
It's so weird how some rooms are absolutely trashed by nature & some still look perfect!
i guess its cuz the side towards the sea gets the heavy rain into broken windows and the backside gets none.
@@martymcfly5423 ah yes that makes sense! Thanks for clearing that up!
It's hard to believe that just 16 years of no maintenance can lead to such destruction from nature. What a shame no one made use of it to preserve it.
Thats a beautiful hotel. To bad it was shut down. They should have sold it. Maybe business would have came back within the years. Thanks for sharing.
Great video bro
Honestly enjoy watching your videos. Wondering, are U from the States? East coast, Maryland.
Keep going to all these amazing cool places. Safe travels to U & your company ✌
That was a very entertaining video and I would have taken a bowl and a sushi boat.
Frame 12:58 🤣Hey, even R2D2 needs a break from filming. While my friends were going crazy over Han Solo, I had a crush on Chewbacca! Ok! I know you're laughing!
When your name (channel name) was mentioned at the last part woaw SOUTH KOREA HERE WE COME ❤😍👑
Whoooow.ferry nice video💪🍀👍up 2 the next 🤙🤙🤙
I have always been attached to this kind of building、especially those who have to develop the economy of a region。Each time I am in front of this hotel、I bow to him because something tells me that his soul is somewhere and he is waiting to see people and take care of him。It would still be recoverable、even if it could be converted into permanent residence while keeping its historical aspect。
Beautiful
Once a beautiful place! Kinda still is! In a weird way!
I'd love to metal detect that property. Great video
Beautiful place
i wish you can visit also the philippines ❤️
waiting for you 😁
awesome!
Wow!! What a building.
Steve,there is no family are managed that building.maybe if have relatives to manages that it is a beautiful for the tourist spot in there.
Beautiful!! More vids in japan pls
I got "The Shining" vibes from the hall
you are right .preserve the past.
👀😮😮😮😮😮wow thats crazy dude
