If you haven't seen the MAIN 1 Million Second video yet..... You're missing out!! th-cam.com/video/FhWbhTn0aB4/w-d-xo.html
Let me know what you thought below!
The main video was amazing so many cool places, makes me want to explore!
That is the definition of this channel, exploring Rural Japan. And Jay walking Rural Japan. And falling down in Rural Japan. 😂😂😂😂 I can't wait to see what happens and see how quickly I can get a bingo. Lol
How not to get hit by a vehicle in rural Japan!
I bicycled through the Iya Valley last month. Didn't realize till now that I was so close to the abandoned schoolhouse. I remember stopping at that blue bridge by the power station and taking pictures of the houses along the river. Was an amazing ride through the valley.
the mist...the mountains...the clouds...the rain...the constant sound of the running river...the space....perfect!
The walk is amazing! THE Definition of a Explore channel! Please keep it going and making amazing content!
Always a relaxing time with Norm....unless he falls over of course!!
It was the weirdest thing, but while watching this I swear that I could smell rain. Considering that I live in the Sonoran Desert and it was 106F today with 5% humidity, *no,* no rain. But I thought I did, over and over and over again.
Thank you for giving me the rain and the mist and the river for a little while; this was just beautiful.
So beautiful. I love a good "gloomy" day, I think they can be much prettier than the classic sunshine-y days people usually call beautiful.
Wonderful to see you handled that slip masterfully. Hi from Australia.
The mist, the rainfall, the birdsong and the moss...They all made for a very atmospheric, beautiful walk. But I'm still so sorry that you slipped on these evil stairs D:
So many wonderful shades of green, and the mist along the mountains is spectacular!
Tbh green is the best color
I’ve always enjoyed looking at abandoned spaces/places and trying to image just what they were in the past.
Every time I see a video involving the school, I HAVE to click and watch ASAP
Damn, that was cold of that small car to let that whole bus back up all the way to the end 😂
I cannot express how much gratitude I have for you taking the time to make these amazing videos and the love and passion you put in each and everyone of them. In my language we say "Danki" (Thank you)🙏🏼👍🏼Greetings from Aruba.
These are so wonderful and breathtaking. Thanks for sharing them with us!
Loved hearing your story of your first time in japan. Sometimes it's nice to have a story to zone out to while taking in the sites. Really appreciate it. Thanks for the upload!
It was a really nice walk. So peaceful.
As always, it was beautiful and relaxing to enjoy this rainy walk with you.
I've totally alreayd started saving for the most epic Hokkaido campervan trip with K Squared
This was so fun to watch Norm ! Always wondered what the area or what village was near the school would be like. Thanks for always taking us along your adventures !
i could literally follow you and your stories while taking a walk through these beautiful mountains for hours. Thank you for that time
Beautiful walk. Love from the Southern California Desert 🏜 😍
These are so relaxing to watch after work. Thanks
Love the dark rainy days there!
Oh man I feel your pain with alarms. Slept right though a 7.4 earthquake in Turkey. Hotel staff were in disbelief.
No, no - Thank YOU! This was indeed a glorious walk, and so VERY beautiful; it's ideal for me, because I love a walk through wooded areas with a light rain. It just does something healing for my soul every time... so this is voyeuristic shin rin yoku at it's best! 😊
Holy shit the beauty of the scenery
Shikoku breathes and fills my soul with absolute peace. Absolutely gorgeous atmosphere, rain or shine. Can't believe how muddy the river is with all the rain. Blessed to have seen it in the sun last spring. Thank you for this restorative stroll. 💜✌️🐦 PS had absolute fun with the chat during the premiere, too
Whenever I travel and stay at hotels in different states in America I call the front desk and set up a wakeup call so I'd have time to get up and be ready before check out at the end of the week. I also believe there would be a boat dock on the river down those steps you showed us.
Dude that fall made me jump. Jump scares are not what I came for 😂
Wow the scenery of Japan is gorgeous. Thanks for doing a video like this.
Looking forward to the camera work and heartfelt commentary 😊
Thanks Norm! Now I have a great video to watch tonight!!!!
My Son is currently in BC working in the bush as a geophysics assistant. I told him to watch out for bears and he said they have multiple bear bangers and lots of bear spray; I was thinking about when I lived in bear country in Northern Ontario 🇨🇦
I'm going to watch this when I crawl into bed and I can't wait.
Lovely feeling of all the greenery in the rain
Excellent, just what I needed
I love your videos! There is a woman who does similar but without commentary, you give us a glimpse into the daily and historic aspects. Keep doing your thing, you have earned a new sub
I love ur videos and i love watching people explain abandoned places:D
😌Been a stress filled week. Looking forward to this. 🥰
Another video that makes me want to visit Japan.
As always, your videos are a joy to watch. Thank you.
Congrats with 100k, thank you for the amazing content and the amazing 1 mil seconds adventure. Also thank you for your adventuring spirit, it is slowly rubbing off of me and changing how I perceive the area around me. I hope to be able to walk there between the mountains (if I'm able to, in the morning. The mist, aaah the mist)
Very nice walk, loved the nature shots in this one!!
Lovely video. Much appreciated.
Loving these countryside videos!!!! It’s gorgeous there!
The best way to Start my day is to listen to Norm. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you 🙏Norm for this video… 😊
I’ll definitely do more exploring next year when I head to Japan again..
good videos to watch/listen to while I work, thanks!
You talking about your first trip in 2005 made me SOOO nostalgic about the times we didn't have smartphones and had to use actual maps and such. My last trip to Japan was in 2011 and back then a smartphone wasn't as widely adopted so I didn't have a smartphone but the following year I did and everything changed permanently in my travels after that. But I will still hold onto my dearest memories of having to navigate Tokyo with a map it was so damn fun. Also no google reviews for places to eat, you just had to get lucky walking into a place or had to get a recommendation from a local. Anyways, thanks Norm for your stories!
The place looks nice and peaceful but it's still nice to see vehicles going through the area cause it doesn't seem like you're completely alone even when you don't see people around. There's really something different when the weather is rainy so it's awesome you made this video when the weather is like that. The curious and gamer part of me wants to know where all of the stairs you passed by leads to. There was so many of them and you can't see where they end! I'm also curious about the tunnel but th longer path is nicer and just gives a bit more adventurous vibes so it's a better choice. Watching this makes me wish I could also just walk around places outside lol.
This video was incredible. Those are the roads I love riding my bike on. There are always so many things to see.
I love these walks
The way you avoid filming the other walkers. so smooth. lol. "oh look at these steps, (dang they haven't passed yet) oh look at that house up there!"
Time well spent ❤
So relaxing, the fog just made everything even more better and now I wanna do this walk as well. Thanks for amazing video ❤
7:00 omg thats hurt, i can feel this
Hey Norm! I love your content! Amazing walk!
Thanks for showing us rural japan Norm!
Thank you, Norm... I need a nap now...
Beautiful, old japan
congrats in reaching 100k on this channel
Wow! so beautiful. Subscribed!! きれい。すばらし
I was not expecting the slip and fall. that... that really got me good. I jumped in my seat from that. glad you are okay. EDIT: oh try to get some YakTrax for a quick slip on for stairs and ice.
Really enjoying these videos, softypapa vibes which takes me back ☺️🙏
Really great video! I actually live fairly close to there actually and it's such a beautiful place to drive though. The mountains of Shikoku have honestly been so unexpectedly beautiful. You should check out Mt. Ishizuchi if you haven't already 😁
thank you Norm for sharing 👍 Absolutely stunning walk. it's a shame those hiking trails are so over grown. b safe take care Norm. luv from the uk 🇬🇧👍❤️❤️
Everywhere you turn it looks like a garden.
It would be fascinating to see images of the town before population decline and the decay. The area is stunning, the sheer cost and effort to develop a settlement in the area must have meant there were a good number of people who wanted to live there and there was some type of industry to justify the level of development.
Holy shit this is beautiful. I'd definitely like to live there for a while.
Hay norm can't wait to see this. I know it's gonna be fun and entertaining as usual. catch you later. luv from the uk 👍🇬🇧❤️
Japan is so beautiful.
7:00 Now I am awake XD
Please keep safe, Norm :)
I always wonder how many people live on that village near the abandoned school, because as you can see even when there are so many houses some of them does look abandoned like caved in roof or overgrown near the entrance or even like moldy appliances outside of the houses
One of the best, most scenic walks you've done Norm, just beautiful! This type of scenery is why I fell in love with Japan. I hope to get back there one day and find these gorgeous places you have shown us. Thanks and take care. TJ ... BTW I think your gimbal is dying??
Rainy foggy splendor will always be my favorite view of the various valleys of Japan. The light grey of cloud cover and fog makes the green seem more vibrant and really stand out. As always, thank you!
Agreed. That goes for anywhere really 😁
it would be interesting if you met a few people from the village and interviewed them
Dude you gave ma a nice jum-scare with that slip :D. Good thing you were ok
Thanks for the video!
Mist + Fog = Awesomeness
(Also, that story reminds me of the time I fell asleep while I was babysitting lol)
The fog is amazing.
I need to be in those mountains !!
sad to see him leave the school :(
Yay
Thank you for taking me on this hike with you. 🫶
Lived in Japan before for a couple of years. Went there to learn Japanese and while learning got a job in a hotel in Tokyo. Always wanted to go to Shikoku but unfortunately, Tokyo life and having a girlfriend who was mostly a Shibuya 101 kinda of girl never let me explore beyond the outskirts of Tokyo.
Luckly after a year of leaving i joined a Cruise Ship crew and got to visit some other areas like Nagasaki and Hiroshima and then the pandemic came and i just decided to stay put in my country, where i'm still staying.
Even today i still wish to go and explore Shikoku as the wilderness and untamed wilds call to me (also a lot of places there resemble my parents birthplace in my country). Also i always wanted since i was a kid to go and see the whirpools of Tokushima. Maybe when i'm old and my life stabilizes.
Be careful of bears!! Where is your bear bell?? Love Japan!!
Caught this one live! One less video I have to binge later lmao
Honestly a lot of your video's are being added to my To Do list when me and my partner eventually visit Japan! Just gotta decide if we save to visit Japan or buy 3000 bags of cookies, the cost is very similar lol
This video is giving me crazy My Neighbor Totoro vibes.
Very much love this walk thank you Norm. Walking one hour straight in the rural where is no bus, I just wondering did you park the car on the next village?
A few minutes late, so rewound to start. Have got live chat off so I can enjoy premiere from the beginning without spoilers.
❤❤
Internet/Manga Cafe adventures could have turned out into a manga scene where the protagonist gets smacked awake.
If you have more stories like that you could do a Playlist called Norm's Bizzare Adventures, reference to Jojo Bizzare Adventures.
Hi Norm, can you do a video about exploring JApans most southern islands? The islands below Okinawa up to Yakushima?
待ちきれないよ！☺️👏👏
🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Oo I Hope you didn't get hurt to hard
worst part of this vide is that it ends
2:15 man INITIAL D vibes i can see Takumi coming in hot
at 34:09, there's a gap in the railing. Where does that go? It looks like a straight-up drop off.
Hey Norm, do a lot of people still live in these villages? Sorry lots of questions.. can one just stay at the school? Does one have to tell anyone or is it just.. come in and chill?
