What an adventure this was!! Did you have a favorite spot? Leave it in the comments below!! In fact, how many of you have been to Kobe or Tokushima? Any spots that you love that you would recommend? Drop em below!! And next week... well I guess you'll just have to wait and see! But let's just say... it's going to be 🔥!
Ah this was beautiful as always. I have major travel envy. I've been ziplining before, and you're right, the sound is the scariest part. The foliage was so beautiful when you went. I liked the sand pillars, I've never seen that before. Here is to more adventures!! :) Thanks Norm!
Aloha Norm, I love being outdoors with you! I would like to see more of the river gorge, forest, and the ferry ride. The opening made me laugh inside because when I woke up at about 5am HST, I was dreaming of & then thinking of making a grown up playground where you could fly like a superman, do climbing & stuff! Then you open with a fun course with a zipline! Really fun! Being inside so long, I have missed the sounds of the trees, birds singing, cooing, or cawing, water running in streams, the rustle of the leaves under foot, crunch of patches of icy snow, the echo in the woods! I miss the smells of the forest, the duff on the forest floor, & the river! Your photography is beautiful, you bring my mind & soul out into where ever you go! You are appreciated! Take care, love to you, your friends & your big Ohana, Kai
Outdoor onsen are THE best. Yummy looking kaiseki. I've always thought a zipline course would be a blast, but I'm also afraid of heights and never know when I'm going to be hit with a major episode where I literally freeze in place. Looks like you had a soothing, relaxing trip. The more you travel Japan, the more favorite spots you accumulate :). I haven't been to Kobe or Tokushima yet, but they're fast becoming higher To Visit places on my list. I like Takachiho, Oirase Gorge, Nikko, and the Lake Kawaguchiko area (had an awesome wild bird feeding experience at the ice cave). Next week can't get here fast enough. 🔥 You say?
Love your videos as always, MMM ADVENTURE. Never been in these areas of Japan before! Your videos always make me want to explore every corner of Japan if i get the chance to haha. Great inspiration! Also, my favourite spot is that bridge that was shown in the last bit of the video! It has this really enchanting feel to it and reminds me of something i saw in an anime (i think it's Mushishi, really good)! Sadly, i'm afraid of heights and it would probably take me forever to cross that bridge if i tried haha. Looking forward to your next one!
Yeah, unfortunatly i think it takes a lot of the experience away! Anyway thank you for your work and i think i speak for a lot of us viewers when i say it helps us cheer up a bit whenever a video of yours comes out! Keep it up!
They've removed the "HD" tag from the 720p videos during the summer and they've become really badly compressed, so though I usually watch things non-fullscreen on an 1080 display, I had to switch to watching the 1080p stream and let the browser squish it. So... looks like they haven't been treating 1080p streams well either? (I mean the forest scene is understandable, too many little details are just hard to store in most video formats (without a massive bitrate spike), so those tend to get kinda crappy (Tom Scott has a great little video about that btw))
You know you really enjoy a TH-cam channel when a windstorm knocks out your power & internet for 2 days and you're just mad you can't watch Toyko Lens! But I'm baaack!🌸 That rope course looked like it was a blast, and the sand pillar and gorge areas were really beautiful. Thanks for always letting us come along.🤗
There's something about these shots in conjunction with the music choice that encompasses the admiration I have for Japan. A LoFi-esque music choice works so well.
And here I am sitting in a bus to work in hot dry Australia, DREAMING of the vibrant colours, running waters and steaming onsens that your video is providing. Thank you.
Between the leaves, cabin and the Tokyo Lens sweaters, a very colorful episode. Missed out on going to West Japan the last time I was there, so this is giving me plenty of inspiration!
Gorgeous place. As multiple people have said, autumn would be an ideal time to visit with all the fall colours and avoiding the summer heat and humidity.
Started my boring day as a retail assistant on Boxing Day today, no customers around, pop on this video and instantly my day is 1000 times better 😇 wish my life would become an exciting adventure like yours one day. Thank you for capturing this beauty
@@TokyoLens re-visiting places also doesn't get old that fast. Like I said at another video: Coming back to Ueno felt like returning home to me. And I never felt like that at any other travel I did before.
I love this video. My cousin used to live in 加賀温泉 on the western shore. my wife and I went and visited... loved spending time in a place that was much more rural and relaxed. Beautiful cliffs and of course great food... Most people have never been to Western Japan... definitely the kind of thing that you wouldn't do unless you lived there
I'm having trouble deciding whether the guy who designed the "Forest Adventure" is a genius or a sadist! 1:26 "I will say, though, if you are afraid of heights this is NOT the activity for you!" Understatement of the century! :-) You have such a great eye for beautiful sights. Every part of this video is beautifully shot. 4:24 - 4:35 You apparently have the power to change the weather. You must only use this power for good! 7:42 "I genuinely feel fortunate to have lived in Japan for well over 10 years and to still be this excited to be here." That sums up what's great about you and your channel.
We’ve been to Japan twice now but mostly visited the usual hangouts of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka etc. When we can get back again, planning on spreading our wings and the Kobe area will definitely be on our list, especially the rope course. Love your videos, keep them coming. They are what keeps me connected to Japan.
I love your videos, and the positive energy you bring. I don't usually comment on videos, but I just wanted to let you know you're a big reason why I'm going back to japan when restrictions are cleared.
Amazing as always~!!! That little adventure course looked so much fun~!! That little cabin in Awaji campsite was so cute~!! That hilltop view at Tokushima looks amazing as well, with the fall colours and all that~ OMG~ the Oboke Gorge is beautiful!! and that Vine Bridge OMG~!!! One more place to add to my Bucket List for Post-Pandemic Japan Travel~!! Thanks Norm and keep up the great work~!!!
You can tell its a good video when you sit there watching it with a dumb smile on your face lol. I haven't been to Kobe and it is somewhere which i need to think about going to, maybe on my next trip as I'll be in Osaka for a few days anyway (hopefully). Although everywhere you went looked great and it looked like you were lucky with catching the foliage colours. You wouldn't get me on the zip wire etc though .... gravity is one of those laws I like to comply with and I really don't like heights at all!
Person, who is selling those pinecones, made my day 😀 it's hard to tell what was my favourite place from this video as all of them were unique at some point. And it's good for you that you can still feel the spirit of this country. Keep going, Norm! 😄
@@TokyoLens I'm trying to narrow down a place to retire at in the future, you keep making it so difficult for me. One minute I'm happy up North in Iwate and now I'm thinking the South doesn't look too bad either. Damn, decisions decisions man... Thanks, it's a nice problem to have though :)
Soo cool! (But riding backwards makes me queasy.) Thanks for all the fall colors, the beautiful clouds, and the gorgeous gorge! Love the gift you got, too. Great vid, once again!
The quality of your videos and the information is really amazing, Thank you for that! Hope to visit Japan for a month in 2021, have been saving up. Merry Christmas to everyone reading this!
Great video! Your videos have a very calming affect. It’s a combo of the mood music and the beautiful shots of the areas you’re in. Happy Holidays from the US!
Every time I see a shot of the mountains or of a valley, it reminds me of East Tennessee. You could plop the Smoky Mountains in Japan and it wouldn't look out of place.
Awesome video! 👌 That's what I love about your video's. It's all about the adventuring and the great sites that you see. And I'm always happy to see your excitement, when you do these video's. It shows how much love and appreciation that you have, for all the great places you go to. 👍👍 Stay safe, stay well, and keep adventuring.
Hyogo is a great part of Japan. Kansai in general is by far my favorite part of Japan. You might want to consider giving Kansai a chance, and living there a while. It really is a wonderful place to live.
Ah Kobe! I miss living there. Sannomiya is the only “large” city I seem like but really it was because I was only a 15 minute walk from Mt. Rokko in one direction or a 15 minute walk to the ocean in the other direction. They even have a Chinatown!
Lovely, lovely Shikoku. There was a beautiful swimming hole on the Kamo river near Saijo, Ehime that my then boyfriend ( now husband) took me many years ago not long after we had met by chance on the streets of Matsuyama. We are from NZ so we have nice rivers here, but this was gorgeous. It was a hot summer day, everyone else was at work or school, cicadas were deafening, the water was blue and cool. It was nearly 30 years ago but such a vivid memory.
Amazing! This is one of my favourite kind of videos, I especially would love to see more off the path places in Shikoku and of course anywhere else in Japan. Tbf is seems like all your videos are my favourite kind of videos ahahaha.
I'm honestly baffled how your channel hasn't blown up by now. Such high quality videos with great story telling. I binged almost all your old videos and love seeing new ones. Keep up the awesome work!
I'm so glad I've found your channel! It gives me (personally seen) a view of a country I'm willing to explore since long, but due to a few problems I have with myself and panics, it will take me a few more years to be able to travel and eat unknown food for me. However, every single video you upload delivers a really calm and nice few of Japan, and due to the current life event that's ongoing those places deliver even more whilst they are calm to when they are busy! I'm so thankful you bring those moments up here to share with everyone! Thank you thank you!
I'm there with you on Shikoku....beautiful island. I still have haven't done that boat tour yet...maybe next time. last time I was there had an epic road trip from Kochi back to Takamatsu through all the mountain roads (staying off the highways), cruising on a beautiful spring afternoon in my friend's MX5 with the top down taking pix & video of all the sakura along the way. ok........missing Japan now, dammit
Love the colors of your sweaters 😍 Awesome Irish background music 🍀 01:59 I was scared you might bump into a bumper at the end and drop the cam and then you bumped into the ground 😱 glad you didn’t hurt yourself The cloud is spitting? Ahahha😂 funny The area is sooo nice. Cute little 🏡
Everything about this trip looks so fun! I love the obstacle course thing (lovely terminology I have) and the pinecones best! I’d buy an armful and make bird feeders…
Those views!! 😍😍😍 my goodness. Absolutely beautiful. The campsite looked really cosy too. I also enjoyed the noisy crow 😂👌🏻 excellent. I really loved the video! Ooof and that bath at the end 😍 that’s a dream bath right there.
I actually still miss the bath lol And somehow fully expected you to comment on the crow lol. Actually... the moment that “loud crow” line came out of my mouth I knew I’d it made the final cut we’d be here talking crow 😂
@@TokyoLens I miss that bath ... and I was never even there. You know me well 😂 I am here for the pigeons and now apparently the crows. Anything cute and sassy and I’m there 💖
Beautiful Footage bro! Lucked out on some completely empty shots 😁 Loved it bud, gotta live vicariously through your videos until we can come back again!
Another great video !! 🇯🇵 I’ve visited Japan around Christmas time every year for the last 15 years, but sadly can’t come this year because of Covid. Missing it
I've been watching your videos for ages, and always love the effort, research and stories told. I only just realised I was not even subbed. It just popped up always cause of other TH-camrs I watch. So apologies! I have clicked the sub button now
A place that is a must to visit for me, love the nature (as always) and those tiny and narrow streets are my favorites. Thanks for the exploration Norm, always appreciate it.
Beautiful, all of it! And thanks for the left over right tip -- just this morning I was putting in a robe and thought, if this were a yukata I'd have to Google which half faces out; I remember last time I wore one in Japan I didn't and then I found out afterwards that I'd done it all wrong!
Stunning cinematography, as usual. Thank you for taking us on this beautiful adventure! We plan to come to Japan, hopefully, next year... and now have to consider putting Tokushima on our itinerary.
We have something like the ropeway adventure in Malaysia called Skytrex. Would really love to try this one too. Love the autumn colours. The campsite was just 😍😍😍. Guess the ropeway adventure prepared you for the vine bridge over the gorge lol.

and a huge thanks to youtube for taking a high bitrate 4K video and only processing it at the lowest possible quality of 1080 available!!! 😂
Yeah, unfortunatly i think it takes a lot of the experience away! Anyway thank you for your work and i think i speak for a lot of us viewers when i say it helps us cheer up a bit whenever a video of yours comes out! Keep it up!
TH-cam respects nothing and no one.
Yeah I could barely see that caterpillar
hm I could watch it at 4k
They've removed the "HD" tag from the 720p videos during the summer and they've become really badly compressed, so though I usually watch things non-fullscreen on an 1080 display, I had to switch to watching the 1080p stream and let the browser squish it.

Miss japan! Really want to go back and visit family when things have calmed down!
Hope it’s sooner rather than later
Stay healthy and safe for now!!
Another adventure to show to have fun and to enjoy while watching at home while it's raining outside in the morning.
And here I am sitting in a bus to work in hot dry Australia, DREAMING of the vibrant colours, running waters and steaming onsens that your video is providing. Thank you.
I love the pops of orange and red. We're on the verge of October right now and it's *chef's kiss* seasonal feels.
You should make a calendar or coffee table book with your photography. The way you frame colors and objects is excellent.
Between the leaves, cabin and the Tokyo Lens sweaters, a very colorful episode. Missed out on going to West Japan the last time I was there, so this is giving me plenty of inspiration!
The colors of the trees, the color of the water, it’s like the worlds most beautiful forest painting come to life

Japan is really beautiful
What I love about Japan is the sheer variety of things to do, see and experience.
10+ years of exploration and I’m still not running out lol
@@TokyoLens I hope to one day be able to do the same :)

The sound of the shore is so serene.
When you opened the door of the cabin in the morning. I was like 😦😧😱. What. An. Incredible. View. 100% adding to the list of places I NEED to visit
It's really cool just how much variation there is in Japans nature.
For the Naruto fans out there: yes, that's the Naruto bridge. And yes the water in the region twirls. :-)
A great space!!
Yooo that one hit the feels. As a kid that fight got me tearing up as much as I hate to admit it. Seeing the end with Zabuza and Haku🥺
damn definitely adding this to my bucketlist
Uzumaki can also be translated to swirl which represents the whirlpools
........according to google lol

Thank you for being able to take my mind away from reality for a bit. Looks amazing as always.. Hope to see more.
That little cabin you spent your night at the camp looked so cozy :D
Love these videos. Its like a 2 day adventure and we're able to go along with you
Every time I see a shot of the mountains or of a valley, it reminds me of East Tennessee. You could plop the Smoky Mountains in Japan and it wouldn't look out of place.
Living there for over ten year Norm, we're lucky your enthusiasm and sense of wonder hasn't diminished otherwise none of us would be here :')
Awesome video! 👌
That's what I love about your video's.

Fantastic music choice that really fits your shots. Another great video, Norm.
your channel deserves more love! you put so much time and love into your videos, thank you
Wow, such an adventuristic vlog. Love it.
I just want to say thank you for making these wonderful videos... I love them so much! ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words
I really appreciate having you here~
Hyogo is a great part of Japan. Kansai in general is by far my favorite part of Japan. You might want to consider giving Kansai a chance, and living there a while. It really is a wonderful place to live.
Yet another absolutely stunning video! Thank you for sharing
The area is so beautiful wow thanks norm for sharing
Always look forward to your videos.
That rope bridge is beautiful 😍
Hyogo is one of the prefectures I want to visit in Japan. I believe there are tons of great places to sightseeing and delicious food to eat.
Ah Kobe! I miss living there. Sannomiya is the only “large” city I seem like but really it was because I was only a 15 minute walk from Mt. Rokko in one direction or a 15 minute walk to the ocean in the other direction. They even have a Chinatown!

wow your camera is so clear! ty the nature looks so stunning! i have to pause and admire the landscapes
Glad you enjoyed it that much

That’s the goal!!
So far you feel that way~
Thank you!!
when I see the shots of you walking its always funny to then imagine you jogging back to collect your camera.
No clue what you could be talking about 😉
I love the variety of things to do there. I could never get bored.

Great video brother, I'm definitely adding Kobe and Tokushima to my list for the future.

Lovely scenery!
Always love ur videos💙💙 they put me on ease
A place that is a must to visit for me, love the nature (as always) and those tiny and narrow streets are my favorites.
Thanks for the exploration Norm, always appreciate it.
Beautiful, all of it! And thanks for the left over right tip -- just this morning I was putting in a robe and thought, if this were a yukata I'd have to Google which half faces out; I remember last time I wore one in Japan I didn't and then I found out afterwards that I'd done it all wrong!
Wow, I love to be there , adventurous
Stunning cinematography, as usual. Thank you for taking us on this beautiful adventure! We plan to come to Japan, hopefully, next year... and now have to consider putting Tokushima on our itinerary.
Thank you for another adventure ♥‿♥ㅤ
Happy holidays stay safe & healthy

Your photographer's eye makes for really beautiful shots in your videos. Once again, great work my friend!
We have something like the ropeway adventure in Malaysia called Skytrex. Would really love to try this one too. Love the autumn colours. The campsite was just 😍😍😍. Guess the ropeway adventure prepared you for the vine bridge over the gorge lol.
I really admire how you read every comments, but ya
Takes time but always worth it!
usually only stay fully caught up on the first hour of comments though lol
