- I found an incredible abandoned ski resort in japan that had several abandoned vehicles on the property along with an entire ski store full of ski equipment left behind. This was definitely a very fun explore and I hope you guys enjoy it.

One of my favorite abandoned places!
@Steven Morrissey Hey Steve, I will add the link in the description. Heres the link for now. th-cam.com/channels/_pGV_fHbvTAZKAcnuGNmTA.html
I dont know who Jeff the killer is so I guess we should be good. Lol
Great Explore H . When I was in Scouts as a kid . We climbed Hollyburn Mt. In North Vancouver . We were to follow the old chairlift path up the Mountain . There were huge Trees that had fallen over the years that were so big you could not climb over them . Tangled amongst these fallen Giants were Crushed lift seats and tangled cables . What a climb with the snowline only a quarter the way in . There was a Cabin that we had use of at the top for two nights . Then the leaders caught the Cabin on fire and they use our 10 gallons of Hot Chocolate to put it out . Going down we found a very small creek that crossed the Trail . We road our Backpacks down this frozen Wild Bobsled shute . Good thing the frozen part ran out before the Waterfall . Lol . Have Fun Bro and Be Safe .
I enjoyed this one especially for the outdoors. I love that misty, foggy early morning time. It seemed nice and quiet and serene up there. Thanks for making that long trek to get there! I have to say that I can see why they don't try to sell things like the ski equipment. Who's going to buy it? Other resorts already have their own, and how many people are going to buy (and store and transport) skis for the occasional vacation? By the time a place like that has gone under and is forced to close down, whatever they could sell it for wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket.
Second, I had to look up the housing issue - I read just a little, but got this - because of earthquakes and fires, the building codes change every 10 years or so, and it's cheaper and easier to rebuild from scratch than bring a house up to code. So the homes depreciate to nothing in a short time, and knowing this, there's not much incentive to keep them in tip top shape since there will be no resale value. That's probably a gross oversimplification, there were other factors. And interestingly, unlike here, they value land and homes separately. At this point, it's partly a cultural thing too I think. I read the spiritual thing applies to religious places only, not homes, something to do with spiritual renewal and growth. Apparently things are changing, but one article said there are currently 10 million abandoned homes in Japan. Yes, million! Didn't see anything about why they would leave so many possessions though. It could also be that this place closed because it wasn't up to code for earthquakes. Sorry this is so long, but wanted to pass on at least the gist of it. 😀
Another video I have caught up with Harmin. This was amazing. Thanks again 🇬🇧
I watched this video with a combination of feelings, some of which were amazement at how much valuable equipment was just sitting there. The other feelings were of what a waste this all symbolized. It seems to me that this facility could've been repurposed before it was left to the ravages of nature and the elements. The other feeling I had was of the "ghosts" of the people who tried on boots for size, slept in the beds and ate in the dining rooms. I could only imagine that this place had some real "fans" who probably came back each year, and while it was opened, I'm thinking they'd never in their wildest dreams would they guess that one day a fellow with a camera would be walking alone through the empty place, recording all of the gross waste...man's scar left on the natural environment of the area. Thanks for this very atmospheric video and the emotions it evoked!
Where was the valuable equipment? All those boots and skis would have had very little value in 2006 when the place closed.
What a waste of stuff left behind .This place would have been busy once with lots of people enjoying themselves with their families now quiet and in a sorry old state. Enjoyed the explore, thank you.
HUGE place. Another great job! Thanks.
Very cool explore. Very remote, so much left behind. I just dont understand waste. Seems that stuff could have been sold off. The lifts were too cool. Reminded me of... life after people. Loved it.
It definitely had a apocalyptic feel to it. Yes it was up in the mountains away from everything. Again, Japanese people have I believe a superstition about places they own and only seem to want to stay in one place 25 yrs before they leave, usually all their possessions too. Idk but I witnessed that time and time again. It was cool to see the lifts there too!
Always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!
Thank you Shelle! I'm glad you enjoy them. Trust me, I have tons of videos still to come from Japan. :)
Hi, so many ski's and boots, wow. I wonder why they never sold the equipment off as it would at least have given them some revenue back. It looks like it would have been quite a cool, family friendly place in it's day as they even had children's ski's and boots. Thanks for taking us along, I don't think it will last too much longer though with all of the rain etc. x
Too much work and cost ineffective. Not enough local to buy from is another factor
@@qhkqchk2920 maybe not cost effective for the owners, though you’d think some workers would have taken the stuff. It’s all unwell kept now, but people use vintage skii equipment. Would have been worth it to grab the stuff. Probably could still get money from some of it. Nothing compared to resort costs. A few other abandoned places had perfectly good arcade stuff too, really weird because people would definitely buy it. Maybe not worth the owners time, but you’d think someone would take it and sell it.
What a great explore. Those ski-lifts are amazing. Thanks for the video. 👍👍
Thank you Simon! I appreciate it man. It was a very fun explore
Nice explore Dude
Keep up! 👏👍
Glad can see you video have ad and i never skip it.
💚👏👍Thanks as always bella for supporting my channel and watching the ads. I do appreciate it very much. :)
@@InfamousCrimeLocations you are welcome ❤
Great explore, I don't think I would enjoy the shared rooms, too people 😂 and I will remember not to breath when there is smoke
Yeah I wouldn't enjoy sharing living space either, unless it was close family.
The ski resort business is risky like airlines. That is why they are ripe for takeovers and consolidations like Vail Corp has done. It is fascinating to see the carcass of a sizable ski resort.
If they were liquidated/repossessed they wouldn't have been allowed to remove that stuff as its no longer their property. That all belongs to who ever took their worth.
Do you think the 25 year thing is cultural or economic or both? That is a lot of stuff left but if it’s due to economic troubles of the times I guess there is no one to sell it to. Japanese abandoned places are so interesting. I’ve always thought of it as being so crowded that anything abandoned would soon be replaced. Thanks for sharing another great find.
It could be both but I feel that it leans towards cultural as I did read that they tend to only want to stay in one place no more than 25 years or so
Cool vid. 👍
This place was awesome!! I can’t believe it was only open less than 20 years. What a waste of money. And all that equipment too. The little boots for little kids were so cute! That place seemed really big so I thought it was a hotel when you first got there. Since it wasn’t a hotel I bet the beds were for kids who needed to take a nap. The ski lift was fascinating. I’ve never seen one before, as I’ve never been skiing. It sure did look like a fun place to visit. Great video Harmin!! Take care and stay safe out there!! 😊 ⛷🏂
💚🧡🇯🇵🏂⛷ Lots of cool stuff left and definitely unfortunate since it wasnt in operation that long. Thanks Tara!! :)
Great vid, fascinating
Thank you Josh!! Appreciate you watching.
Was there someone there while you were filming the ski lift as all the banging was eerie.subscribe people harmin works hard and has great videos . 😀
Awesome vid!
💚👍 Thanks bella! Glad you enjoyed it
Many thanks for this super video.
Watching!!!
Great video thanks
Loved this!
Seems so 'ghostly' with everything quiet & left behind... I can only imagine how busy it once was.
In one room, it 'looked' like the form of a body sitting with a cover on it! 😨
Another awesome exploration!
👍☺
It did feel very creepy and eerie walking around there. There must have been so much fun times back when it was open and people enjoying the snow up there. Unfortunate to see it get vandalized and rain ruin most of the interior
Q
Thank you so very much for taking us with you as you reminisce about the Nevele in its prime. I have been fascinated by it since I first saw JP do his first installment of his thorough exploration of the whole resort, along with then and now photos of it. The wanton destruction and graffiti-filled buildings breaks my heart - some people need to find better things to do with their time!!! As long as there are people who can share their stories regarding the history of such a beautiful resort will keep it alive for others to tell and experience (even if it is only in our mind's eye). 🥰💖💖💖
Cool video. I'd like to see some abandoned ski areas in Austria and even some that have come back to life.......good stuff, thanks
So many beautiful Abandoned Resorts Homes an Places in Japan
Reminds me of 28days laster sometimes
That ski resort has an institutional look to it from the outside.
They may have left all the equipment there in hopes of selling it as an intact ski resort but that never happened. The area with all the beds may have been a nap area for children so the parents could keep skiing. Keep up the great work Harmin.
Yeah it's very possible they were trying to sell stuff that was left but it obviously didn't happen. Thanks for the tip about the bed area. I wonder if it was just a sleep area or could people spend the night too?
@@InfamousCrimeLocations the only way to really know is to find someone that worked or visited there. But that is part of the fun of what you do. We can imagine all kinds of stories about what might have been.
As a retired ski area employee, Lifts, maintenance and summer golf course, This is a sad state of this ski area. Onward!
Just to think, one day someone put their stuff on the gound and left it there for ever
wow , that is awesome , what a beautiful location , liked it , keep up the great work , like it a heap :-)
Another crazy Japanese abandoned place. I loved finding all the skis left!
@@InfamousCrimeLocations l.o.l. , yeah , i know i have said it to you 100 times , but god we are wasteful as , cool as mate , thanks for the reply. :-)
@@stevetaylor9556 Yep exactly very wasteful indeed. I always hate seeing giant new buildings built when there are like 4 or 5 perfectly fine abandoned ones just sitting there.
@@InfamousCrimeLocations Hey again , yeah , im a bit older , and we went without when we were younger , i find the fact that places left like this , with thousands of $$ of stuff just rotting appalling , sorrry for the rant , l.o.l. thanks for the reply , very cool , thanks mate , :-)
The amount of money they lost because of all of that equipment is just crazy
imagine how people enjoyed it before it was abandoned
I know right. I always think about that like there must have been tons of happy people going up there enjoying skiing or snowboarding. Now turned to nothing. It had a very eerie vibe that's for sure
I wonder if they leave everything behind to report as huge losses on their taxes? Do they pay taxes? Is it an insurance write-off? I keep trying to find a reason for the abandonment of the equipment in these abandoned buildings. The gift shop was mostly cleared out, but was it by the owners or vandals?
Hmm very good question! Again, it is very common for Japanese people to leave all their belongings when they abandon places there. I saw it in almost all of the places I went to. It's like a superstition they have. 25 yrs in one place, then they leave all their stuff and build again.
The stuff in the gift shop would have been new and could have been sold in another store, but I just don't see there being much market for the used ski equipment.
Rear entry boots, sweet.
What a shame it's all been left to rot.
I LOVE IT
😀👍 Thank you sharlene! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Cool explore! Thanks for the tour! LET
That was a beautiful building.
😎👊☝️Legend!
Harmin Vlogs here in America we've got many abandoned ski resorts, theme parks, apartment buildings, airports, hospitals, mansions, castles, domes, skyscrapers, cities, islands everywhere. Why aren't there any abandoned homeless shelters or tent cities? I noticed that every episode of Scooby Doo had a villain that was trying to scare people off the land. 👻 I saw thousands and thousands of abandoned new cars sitting in abandoned airports.
1990 is when Japan's economic bubble burst. Its been pretty stagnant since
A very nice find, but that place was in a bed condition with all those leaks, guess those beds wer for staff (if they like a stapled bed? ) crazy smoke sign :-)
Yeah leaks were happening everywhere. I dont know if it was for staff and or families
That looks like the remains of a Von-Roll Gondola, this is the old Gunma Ski Resort! There's still cool pics of it online. If you're interested I have a 4-part series of an abandoned ski resort in Sierras near Lake Tahoe CA
Is it Northstar at Tahoe ?
Alright, I'll take a pair of 203cm downhill skis, a pair of boots and poles. What a freaking pathetic waste of good equipment. They could have sold or auctioned the ski equipment, furniture and other iyems to try to get some type of profit.
Just got back from a snowboarding trip in Japan. I need to know where this place is. PLEASE. PM me. A place like this would be a dream to ride during winter.Cheers!
Go,
Find your size of boots and skis from the abandoned rental shop,
Hike it up the mountain,
Ski for the day,
Return the skis to the abandoned rental office for the next adventurers✅
This was likely a casualty of the Japanese economic bubble that burst in the early 90's. Lots of new ski ares were built and existing one's expanded in the previous decade. Too many for the population to sustain. Surprised this one lasted as long as it did. Many ended up closing or reducing their sizes in the following years. Also, for the majority of places, little of the infrastructure has been upgraded since, unlike American and European counterparts. Still a great place to ski!
As a skier who lives in Japan and adores skiing, it's so sad to see this video. What a waste of everything :( Which prefecture is this at?
I wish Ski companies would make “ Rear Entry “ ski boots again....!!!!
Why though? They are easy to get on and off, sure. But they have no heel hold or stiffness, which is what you really need for skiing
@@ianholmquist8492 really? I seem to remember rocking my Salomon SX91 Equipes through the slalom gates well back in the day..won quite a lot in them for a boot with no heel hold or stiffness 😉
In the last year both Atomic and Salomon have come out with new rear entry models.
@@mikeanhalt6423 solomon merged with atomic a couple years ago so that makes sense. But the top consumer performance alpine boots for both names are still 4 buckle front entry, whether for piste or freeride. I have Solomon's top consumer all mountain and piste boots for the 2020 season. X pro 130 and s max 130 carbon. Atomic is the same with I believe the hawx ultra 130 and the redster 130.
@@mbal4052 Right. "back in the day" was the point of what I was saying. That is outdated tech now.
Rain at a ski resort is never good.
You're in a movie everywhere you go😉.
Really interesting. But Why all the waste? Seriously.
The 'dream room' is clearly a creche? For children's naps
start the bidding!
Dangg... this place looks like from horror game/ movie
Could not have been all that popular if the parking area is any gauge. Any medium ski area in the US would have acre upon acre of parking.
So there's mountains at this ski resort ?
if no one is gonna get them takes the skis and do something with them
Boots,gloves,and mask.😁💗
I got boots but failed to bring my gloves or mask on this explore.
@@InfamousCrimeLocations take care.
looks like on the map it had 2 or 3 runs, so it’s not too surprising, why go there if there’s bigger ones in the area
Is there any ski resort(s) open in Bolivia?
so much money just sitting there
Can you take the skis?
It closed because the 18,000 year old glacier the ski trails where on melted
I found the commentary on this video very boring!Who cares about looking at old ski boots and skis. Maybe a bit of research on who owned the resort and why it was closed might have made it a bit more interesting.It would also be interesting to be told the name of the resort and where in Japan it's located.
OK Guys....Where's the snow, bro?
This was filmed during the summer.
Mold!
Nice mold infested boots, outdated skis, bindings and poles. The building is mold infested, hope you had a mask or respirator with you.
Bunch of rear entry boots, no wonder they went under. LL
"alright guys" x 1,000. constructive criticism.
because the sport is in decline loss of interest, exclusivity, costs and there are other sports that cost less and easier to learn just in the usa over the last eight years the sport participants has declined from 1.7 million from 10 million and it's become too much of a biz and disenfranchised many

Great video thanks
