Wow! Japan story again! I'm Japanese and I've always checked your amazing hiking videos. I'm glad you guys to visit Japan and making hiking videos! Thank you!
I saw the last video in the series first. Two things: 1) epic selection of background music 2) the cinematography and choice of shots just keeps getting better with each video
We were in Japan in November, mostly touring, so we saw lots of places but none for very long. And now I want to go straight back! There seem to be so many observatories in Japan, each one more epic than you'd think possible. Impeccable editing and filming as ever.
Absolutely stunning footage! Well done Robby!! That looked like a wonderful way to spend the day. Too bad part of the trail was closed. Looking forward to the rest of your trip! Thanks!
Wow, this is one of your best videos yet. Great location, shots, editing, and everything else. Thought the various far away shots where you sit the camera down and point at two of you were great to give context and give it a movie feel. Great stuff keep it up!
This video is superb, Robby. Of course all the videos you make are good, but there’s a rare magic in these scenes. Something about the pacing in the editing that matches the music really brings it together nicely. Hopefully someone on the “Travel Japan” tourism board sees this and gets you to make their ads. Well done.
5:47 that was the Training vessel JS Yamayuki, formerly JS Yamayuki Destoryer 129. She was decommissioned in March of 2020! You're so lucky to catch her pulling into port on her last mission!
Great Soundtracks ! Liked the hawks on the ferry boat... Hyaku Shaku Kannon a real trip. Nice friends! The cats very mellow. A great night off viewing Thank you.
So happy when I heard the forest temple music Great video Robby. I’ve enjoyed every one of your Japan vlogs and adventure archive videos You guys are great. Hope you’re all staying safe and healthy during these weird times.
Wow. Your buddy Darrel took you to a Most Cool place. And to think it was his second choice! Makes you wonder what the first trail he chose is like. The vertical bluffs and stunning vistas, stairs worn from so many footsteps, ancient shrines, the ridges and precision cuts in the stone they carved makes me wonder how they did that. And you would have had to send a helicopter to come pick me up from the rope way parking lot dead end, I would have died on the stairs. Thanks for taking us along!
I was there with my brother in Nov 2018! Glad you experienced the tough Nokogiri Yama! My knees were shaking after all the brutal stairs. I love your shows & thanks for everything you do!! Love
The fast staccato strings @ 5:40...perfect track for that - guessing this was the Fabian Tell stuff? And the combination of cut-marks and moss/vegetation growth on those quarry walls makes it look more like the walls of an epic castle or some ancient structure. Super cool!
Both you are great!! You both make us Japanese rediscover our own country!! I know that there is such a place in Japan for the first time. 7:28 Did you notice him? "" Owakari itadaketa deshouka?"" He must be a ghost LOL!!!! 15:39 「安全第一」 means ' Your safety is the most important.' Please come to Kyushu island!!
Rattle snakes are also not aggressive unless you practically step on them. They even warn you to not get bit and be aware of them with their rattle. I never worry about rattle snakes while hiking because they have their own alarm system!
I remember that TOP GEAR episode very well, glad you made the pilgrimage so that I have a better frame of reference for when I want to do it for myself! Thank so much..
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The editing is fantastic. Your eye for what is captured is spot on - lingering on just the right subject and for just the right amount of time. I just got back from Japan a couple of days ago and miss it like crazy already. Near the end of this vid, there's a shot of you walking through Oazu in Marunouchi. I stayed in the hotel attached to it.
Your videos border on perfection. Just the right amount of everything, timing, shot selection, music. You should travel vlog full time. Did I hear some Zelda Ocarina of Time cave music in there?
I hiked around there last year, what a great place. Make sure you check out mt Misen next time. More Japan video please, Ill join you on next Japan hike.. Thanks from Hawaii.
Fantastic adventure - the editing and music are so well done! Great job. Another place I highly recommend hiking is Isle Royale in Lake Superior. Like this trip, getting there is half the adventure - requires a ferry or float plane ride. You would love it.
I went on a ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge the woman at the ticket counter told them to wait because they were about to leave I could have waited for another one but the crew and captain waited for me sooo my excitment was exactly like yours I was sooo excited and happy!
places like japan and china that are so ancient (i mean ALL the lands in the world are ancient) but these places are the ones who KEPT these temples are carvings and sacred places/spaces (unlike colonizing people who strive to tear down and ruin ancient things) are so beautiful I cant articulate the words that i feel when I see images of them. not still photos, they dont wow me, but videos, my god, makes me want to jump on a plane and live in these places for short times and move on.
First buddha...17:20....second buddha....20:20.... That place looks well preserved. Good example of an original temple. The best part was seeing the quarry marks, and the koi fish....12:20....
I keep coming back to re-watch this video! Soooo wonderfully put together! I’ll bet I’ll be commenting on this video again in the future because I’ll have forgotten I’ve praised this vid cos I keep coming back hahah! Good work!!!!
It's so nice.. I know you're not related but it's so like an older brother and a younger brother with you two.. you are so opposite it's so much fun to watch.. I just discovered you guys yesterday and coming to you from Wisconsin USA ..thank you so much..😎
AWESOME!! ive tried to explain to my parents how different the crows sound in japan. I screwed up and didnt get them on video when i was there. Thanks guys love your videos.
Darrell just show how effortless steps climbing are..... Are you for hire? I want you to be my hiking guide 😁 with all that snacks in your bag I will never go hungry😂
Oh, I missed this place when I lived in Tokyo. Well, now I know what to do when I visit again. Fantastic video! Look at those shots from the sea and stone cliffs!
Nokogiri-yama! I really miss the place.. I've been there many times. Also miss the Chiba station cuz it's my hometown. Now I live in the states so it's not easy for me to go there but I really recommend the Nokogiri yama. Easy acess from Tokyo and trail is not that tough (it's only 330 meters high)... the stairs might be an issue as he mentioned in the video tho!
Ahhh the Ocarina of Time forest temple 🎶 was perfect...I honestly 💭 that rock quarry type of place reminded me of the forest temple when you mentioned about how places like that could inspire the creation of the Legend of Zelda & I was so pleasantly surprised as I heard the forest temple 🎶 suddenly start playing😁👍🏻👍🏻.Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask are STILL my favorite Zelda games to this day because they touched upon really deep topics like transitioning from a child & being a adult,the loneliness of not being recognized by others either in a strange new land or due to many years passing,both the lighter & darker aspects of humanity,etc🙂.I played those games as a little girl & they still have a impact on me even now as a adult.
I'm loving these Japan videos - I moved to Tokyo recently and I'm looking for places like this to escape to on weekends. Putting this down for a weekend trip soon! Can you or Darrell recommend any resources for finding these trails in and around the Kanto area, or provide any recommendations of other places to check out that haven't been featured in videos?
Oh man, I've been thinking about doing this mountain forever but it seems so short and so out of the way from where I'm usually at. Now though I think I'm convinced, seems there's a lot of really cool stuff to see!
Watch all the videos here: th-cam.com/play/PLA4jTF1omJdrHQWP1q5ipQXG6DhrtAhBT.html
Hiya, what is the first castle?
"Say something profound."
"Coffee in the morning is a great way to start the day."
-Well said my friend. Well said!
That forest temple music was perfectly placed 💚. The music and editing in general was fantastic. You outdid yourself, Robby!
Wow! Japan story again! I'm Japanese and I've always checked your amazing hiking videos. I'm glad you guys to visit Japan and making hiking videos! Thank you!
NICE MUSIC N NATURE.ALL OF U R INSPIRING
honestly , I nearly fainted due to just how beautiful and amazing Japan is. Your shots are top notch. the friendship was really enjoyable too.
The editing and music on this vid is top notch! Like at one point it gave me goosebumps. Thanks for sharing your trip good sir..
I saw the last video in the series first.
Two things:
1) epic selection of background music
2) the cinematography and choice of shots just keeps getting better with each video
So happy to see Darrell! Also love the quarry exploration!
Almost 2023 and I am still here enjoying the visuals.
Another great video. So peaceful and relaxing yet it also makes me excited for the adventure.
Your videos never disappoint, only a few minutes in and the anticipation is building,...I'm on a virtual adventure this morning!
Agree on that riding a ferry feels like a start of an adventure
We were in Japan in November, mostly touring, so we saw lots of places but none for very long. And now I want to go straight back! There seem to be so many observatories in Japan, each one more epic than you'd think possible. Impeccable editing and filming as ever.
Absolutely stunning footage! Well done Robby!! That looked like a wonderful way to spend the day. Too bad part of the trail was closed. Looking forward to the rest of your trip! Thanks!
Looking forward to your upcoming JAPAN trip! Rewatching all your past JAPAN trip vlogs!
Wow, this is one of your best videos yet. Great location, shots, editing, and everything else. Thought the various far away shots where you sit the camera down and point at two of you were great to give context and give it a movie feel. Great stuff keep it up!

Wow that’s really cool, had no idea. Thanks for the info!

So happy when I heard the forest temple music Great video Robby. I’ve enjoyed every one of your Japan vlogs and adventure archive videos You guys are great. Hope you’re all staying safe and healthy during these weird times.
I’m watching from behind my hands and shouting “get away from there”” 15 months later! Loving it!
Wow. Your buddy Darrel took you to a Most Cool place. And to think it was his second choice! Makes you wonder what the first trail he chose is like. The vertical bluffs and stunning vistas, stairs worn from so many footsteps, ancient shrines, the ridges and precision cuts in the stone they carved makes me wonder how they did that.

Robby, this video had absolutely amazing cinematography! Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video! The editing and the use of your own music is fantastic!!
Some of that scenery was breath-taking. And that was just through the screen. Amazing.
So great! Music, editing, commentary, photography, all of it!
I was there with my brother in Nov 2018! Glad you experienced the tough Nokogiri Yama! My knees were shaking after all the brutal stairs. I love your shows & thanks for everything you do!! Love
That's a big Buddha :) great job showing some amazing carvings...the sunset was beautiful and your music was incredible
The fast staccato strings @ 5:40...perfect track for that - guessing this was the Fabian Tell stuff? And the combination of cut-marks and moss/vegetation growth on those quarry walls makes it look more like the walls of an epic castle or some ancient structure. Super cool!
Loved this video. Great shots, editing and music. And ofcourse the hike was very nice too!
Man, editing ON POINT in this one, guys. *clapping*
Both you are great!! You both make us Japanese rediscover our own country!! I know that there is such a place in Japan for the first time.
7:28 Did you notice him? "" Owakari itadaketa deshouka?"" He must be a ghost LOL!!!!
15:39 「安全第一」 means ' Your safety is the most important.'
Please come to Kyushu island!!
Great Mini doc can’t wait for more.
Great, inspiring video, Robby! I appreciate the captions naming the sights.
Great trip! Someday I will get to see this wonderful place. Thank you.
I trekked here when I first went to Japan in 1992. Brings back memories. I remember seeing 安全第一 carved in the rock.
Rattle snakes are also not aggressive unless you practically step on them. They even warn you to not get bit and be aware of them with their rattle. I never worry about rattle snakes while hiking because they have their own alarm system!
That is the main reason i enjoy your videos....always well informed
this makes me miss Japan so much. thanks for doing this series, I love the music choice and steady shots too. stay safe!
Great video 👍. Brought back memories of my trip to Japan when a student back in 1995. Amazing place to visit 🙂
As always, flawless composition and editing. Probably my favorite of your shorter videos!
Darrell seems like a regular member of adventure archives. Thanks for sharing.
Music in the videos is gorgeous! Really like that! So peaceful and calm everytime.
I love how he just bring Darrel just a designated tripod carrier. LOL great videos guys !
japan Vlogs..yeh gave this a thumbs up before it even started...love all the Japan content!!
Love the Zelda references and music btw
I remember that TOP GEAR episode very well, glad you made the pilgrimage so that I have a better frame of reference for when I want to do it for myself! Thank so much..
Great Trip! Gorgeous Sunset! 💕
I have been to Japan many times. This is an easy hike, will go.
I literally was waiting for one of you mentioning TopGear. Very glad it didn't go unnoticed.
Wow...Japan is so beautiful. I really like your friend, Daryl. He makes a perfect addition to AA!
Another nice one! 👍

The music is so awesome!!!! And that gold fish and how careful your friend is. All in a video. What else do we expect in a video?
Cool!!! Nice to have a contact in Japan who knows their way around...
I binge watch all of your japan 2019 videos!! And it's so relaxing and it feels like im travelling too!!
I hiked around there last year, what a great place. Make sure you check out mt Misen next time. More Japan video please, Ill join you on next Japan hike.. Thanks from Hawaii.
Fantastic adventure - the editing and music are so well done! Great job.

Another great video Robby!
I was just listening to the forest temple track the other day, great video!
Cool video, hope you share more.
20:36 I saw Sagat there, you can't trick me, i'm older than you! XD
Was looking for this comment :)
I went there a few times when I lived in Chiba. It's huge. I wonder if it has any connection with megalithic structures in Japan.
Thank You for the visite! Stéph.
The music is always on point 👌
I can't help notice the BGM seem better & upgraded. may be just me.
the production are great as always.
Love the Zelda references! Awesome trip!
This is by far the video I've ever seen. 👏🤩
Stunning!
Darrell just show how effortless steps climbing are..... Are you for hire? I want you to be my hiking guide 😁 with all that snacks in your bag I will never go hungry😂
Some epic views here, looks like an awesome place to explore.
Superb shooting nd editing
Oh, I missed this place when I lived in Tokyo. Well, now I know what to do when I visit again. Fantastic video! Look at those shots from the sea and stone cliffs!
This was such a fun video to watch. Great job!
Nokogiri-yama! I really miss the place.. I've been there many times. Also miss the Chiba station cuz it's my hometown. Now I live in the states so it's not easy for me to go there but I really recommend the Nokogiri yama. Easy acess from Tokyo and trail is not that tough (it's only 330 meters high)... the stairs might be an issue as he mentioned in the video tho!
Great images!
Enjoyed my time watching your amazing adventure hike👌💯
Oh man, the Forest Temple theme...brings back memories.
Ahhh the Ocarina of Time forest temple 🎶 was perfect...I honestly 💭 that rock quarry type of place reminded me of the forest temple when you mentioned about how places like that could inspire the creation of the Legend of Zelda & I was so pleasantly surprised as I heard the forest temple 🎶 suddenly start playing😁👍🏻👍🏻.Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask are STILL my favorite Zelda games to this day because they touched upon really deep topics like transitioning from a child & being a adult,the loneliness of not being recognized by others either in a strange new land or due to many years passing,both the lighter & darker aspects of humanity,etc🙂.I played those games as a little girl & they still have a impact on me even now as a adult.
it was good trip . Nokogiriyama Chiba prif
Thank you my friend now I miss japan more than ever. I saw the Easter egg by the budha
Some of the shots in this video were👌👌
ps lol the end😂
You have an awesome friend!
Love the vlogs
I'm loving these Japan videos - I moved to Tokyo recently and I'm looking for places like this to escape to on weekends. Putting this down for a weekend trip soon!
Can you or Darrell recommend any resources for finding these trails in and around the Kanto area, or provide any recommendations of other places to check out that haven't been featured in videos?
Hi Dan. Glad you liked the video! I recommend ridgelineimages.com as a great resource for trails in and around the Kanto region.
Dan Cowell I will check with Darrell and see how he finds stuff. I know there’s gotta be lots of stuff.
@@AdventureArchives Btw, does Darrell have his own channel too?
Oh man, I've been thinking about doing this mountain forever but it seems so short and so out of the way from where I'm usually at. Now though I think I'm convinced, seems there's a lot of really cool stuff to see!
That beat in the beginning! Sick man!
Also, "big Buddha..." Great minds think alike. Awesome ending!
Amazing cant wait to watch this
Thank you beutiful sites, i used to love hiking. Thank you for shering your video from Michelle in australia
Awww...roly poly bobtail neko's. Did they hike up too?
