Bob and Frederik go to the abandoned cities of Fukushima to see the aftermath of the terrible disaster that happened on march 11, 2011.
An 9.0 earthquake caused huge tsunami waves which caused a nuclear fallout. Over 200.000 people fled and most of them never came back...
In this series we explore abandoned supermarkets, stores, pachinko halls, schools, houses, garages with cars, etc. In this episode we explore a school which is a crazy time capsule, it looks exactly how it was abandoned on march 11th 2011.

Enjoying this series of videos so far. I live here and teach at several elementary schools, so a few notes:
1. The abundance of musical instruments is standard for a Japanese elementary school, as is the outdoor swimming pool. I was taken aback by the frogs, though.
2. The triple disaster occurred on March 11, which is about eleven or twelve days before the sixth graders would have graduated from elementary school and started junior high school the following month , as the school year runs from April to March here. So, the garlands hanging in the classroom around the nine-minute mark were probably to celebrate the upcoming graduation, not someone's birthday.
3. I was here the day of the earthquake, though much further away from the epicenter than this school. With the impact of the earthquake and the subsequent aftershocks, the students would have barely been able to walk let alone carry their belongings.
Again, just some things to hopefully clarify what you're showing us here. Thank you for this.
PS- The police here have WAY TOO MUCH free time on their hands, which is why they have nothing better to do than follow you guys around ; )
Its weird how all the stuff left behind is crazy clean, like it wasn’t covered in thick dust. Looks like all of their belongings were left just hours ago.
It takes a lot of time (or open windows) to get a thick layer of dust
It takes a lot of time (or open windows) to get a thick layer of dust
It's covered in a thick layer of radioactive particles.
The plushie at 8:30 ripped my heart out. It was clearly treasured by a child and kept safe in their desk. Now it's alone, abandoned. Plushies always get me.
A keychain for the pencilcase! So cute!
Imagine being one of those kids which are now adults, returning and seeing your what was once your stuff still there. Mind blown .....
This was in 2011 not in 2001 so there barly adults lol
Why on earth there adult this happend in 2011 so there should be 18 or 19 by now!
@@azia5051 how can you guess it?
Just think one of the children go on TH-cam & come across this & see their class room? So sad
7 year later and most of these children are teenage or semi adults.
I dont know how to react... its just that seeing the pictures of the students of the school makes me really sad.. and the stuff they had is still clean and intact.. it made me shiver when i think of when the school is still used.. when there are still students and when they are having a good time playing with friends.. its just sad 😟
But this is a really nice video tho! Its so cool seeing the houses and the school! ❤
Tini Ramadhan It was on the one hand very sad and terrible and on the other hand the perfect atmosphere for an urban explorer. Did you see the other episodes already?
Seeing those clean classrooms and imagining the kids in the pictures being adults now... is just mind blowing
LetsWatch 101 given if some of them survived through that unfortunate day.
Must be wierd never to return to their hometown suddenly
I guess most of them survived, since they have really good alarm systems in Japan.
Yep, they literally got up and left everything behind, with no possibility to look back. Must feel really crazy.
Thomas H, those kids are NOWHERE near adults yet, they are teens now. This did not happen 15 plus years ago. It happened in March of 2011, which is about 7 years ago. If you look at the pictures of the children in that school, they looked to be under 10, so they would be under 17.
Its not exactly a revelation, but the whiteboards say such mundane, everyday things on them. Like “textbook page 43” and “kanji page 9”. The date is always written down the right side of the board, and in one of the shorts you can see it clearly: March 11. The day of the disaster. Truly terrifying and mind opening stuff.
(8:02)El reloj de la pared se detuvo minutos después de iniciado el terremoto a las 14:46.😔
If anything, this is extremely haunting. To think about a society that was literally there yesterday and gone tomorrow.
Wondering why no one vandalized this place or other areas these guys filmed? In Japan, people are taught to respect another person's belongings. Some people even leave their bike unlocked because they know no one will steal it. It's a cultural thing in Japan to respect another person.
Ed boy ha, you obviously haven’t seen that many abandoned places in Japan 😂
@richard mccann But just as these foreigners had the courage to go there can attract others, I hope no one invents to pixar, to sign or to take any object of these places. Especially some object to stop remembrance, because the spiritual energy of the former owner is in the object.
Jodd Toward are you Japanese?
Oh idk probably bc you can die going there
Maybe the radiation also helps 🤪
If I were those children I would also left all my belongings even though it difficult. We only have ONE LIFE TO LIVE and in this kind of disaster LIFE IS VERY IMPORTANT than MATERIAL THINGS. Those bags, shoes, school supplies, and books can be replaced but life can’t be replaced.
But fish and turtles :(
I'm just imagining where these people are now and what they are doing it is so amazing I would like to meet them
Really was a time capsule 👌🏼👌🏼👏🏻🙌🏻 thanks for sharing man!
Thanks Amy ! Glad you liked it :)
+Exploring the Unbeaten Path yes i really liked all your videos specially this abandoned fukushima episode..👍🏻🙌🏻
I hope to see more of your vlogs.
Keep up the good work!
Guys, you both get my full respect! all of your explorations are so sick!
i hope you never stop exploring! greetings from vienna.
I´ve been following you guys since the start of this series, i was just searching for Fukushima bandos and i found you guys! Its such and honer to see this video, we cant find this anywhere else. Great quality , editing, and we can fell the passion for urbex ( like me) i know that i have 99% of no chances to go to Fukushima but i would like to see it and to fell it. Thx so much for this all this beautiful videos and cant wait to see more. Congrats for this amazing art work, you´ve guys inspired me even more!
Thanks for the kinds words mate ! Maybe you get there one day... Don't forget to check the new episode tuesday ! It's the most epic one :)
@King slavic Vault boy sorry for all the mistakes, i was writing pretty fast and didn’t payed attention.
A great series of videos guys. Amazing to see what was once a busy and live part japan to be completely abandoned and left to the elements. Especially the school, it’s like they just got up and left and are waiting to return.
Thanks Luke-jon ! For me it's pretty relevant, because we have 2 old dangerous nucl. plants close where i live. (And they don't want to shut them down) People don't learn....
Fantastic exploring guys. So much things just left behind. Seeing what has become of the places after the disaster is incredible.
It was crazy to find those places such intact... it's hard to find places where time really stood still.. most of the time it gets vandalised or looted
I agree. Really good find in these places where it has not been vandalized or looted. This is really like frozen in time. Thumbs up.
Oh my god... That picture of that family, in that desk, looking so happy... Wonder what happened to them after the meltdown.
This is so sad to watch. These people left everything behind escaping a truly terrifying natural disaster. Keep in mind. 19,000+ people died.
Poor turtle
:(
9:09 :(
Poor peoples
I wonder if any of the kids will come back one day and find their belongings again. Amazing to see the town after the tragedy back in 2011. R.I.P. to those who didn't survive that day 😥 xxx
This serie need only one word too describe it ! SICK !
Thnks ! Waar is jullie nieuwste video gebleven? :O
Exploring the Unbeaten Path is geclaimt maar komt weer online
When they evacuated they didn't think that they wouldn't come back. They left with the mindset that once it was over they would return and could get their stuff.
for the first time, i can feel the sadness and chaos that day at fukushima series
学びます。We will Learn.
頑張ります。We will Persevere.
覚えておきます。We will Remember.
私たちはここにいました。We were Here.
Thanks for watching🤗
These are excellent... you convey so many feelings, and the reality. The things in your videos were a part of people's lives, that they touched, and used, and lived with every day.
Memories lost forever except for these clips, I hope some can find a connection here.
I'd collect my coat and bag if the fire alarm went off too. The tsunami alarm though, no way, I'm out of there.
Nature doesn't mess around !
You guys are so respectful. I'm sure you take a trophy or two, I would, but for the most part you are respectful and treasure the sites you go to. You don't speak just to be heard like so many. You speak because you have something to say. You make me want to learn your language, if you are an example of where you were raised, I need more of it in my life. I am sick of the vain, and the self-centered. There is no value in the silence between words and the understanding of their weight. Even in moments of lighthearted banter, you share so much of your emotions and take us with you in the journey. You carry yourselves as the voices to the experiences you share, and they are as precious to me as the places you visit. Fantastic work gentlemen. You deserve far more from us than is offered in return, but I hope our thanks find you well in spirit.
I don’t know why this thing in particular made my cry, but that picture of the little girl with the name “Ayumi” written below (inside the desk) just made me cry so much. Ayumi never got those pictures and things back. We don’t even know if Ayumi survived...
Let’s hope she did! I think everyone survived in this school/area, because the earthquake was not bad here and it was not close to the ocean.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath maar waarom is er nooit iemand terug gekeerd?
@richard mccann You are looking at this the wrong way. Nobody is looking at this with a desire to shame others. I don't see a dirty house, I see a home that was lived in. That may have had love, and warmth. I see memories long left behind. I see pain and loss, but I see the essence of life and hope that it exists somewhere. I see smiles in photos, and the craftmanship of a fine culture very different from my own, but who feel as I do, laugh as I do, and hope for good things in life, as I do. I see a world I hope is mended. Not a dirty house. Not an empty house. They brought this to me, on that day, they gave us their eyes, and their ears. They took us, halfway across the world. That was their purpose that day.
Totally appreciate what you guys do. It's so crazy thinking about it.
Macca3232 crazy indeed! Poor kids..
Absolutely fantastic guys. This series is so well done and you guys are very respectful to everything that’s there. Just subscribed
Dave Debang-bang you won’t regret! A lot of cool episodes are online already. Don’t forget to check the abandoned space shuttles and the abandoned airport.
Wederom weer een vette upload.. jullie maken mooie opnames! Ben groot fan van jullie..ga zo door! Xxx
Bedankt ! Volgende week de laatste aflevering ( een hele coole)
Wow, zo gek om te zien dat ze inderdaad alles hebben achtergelaten op die school, alsof morgen de les gewoon weer begint
Ik laat mijn spullen anders nooit op school liggen...
Inderdaad..was echt een maffe plek !
Camera angles were perfect!!tou did a fantastic job
Its strange yet beautiful to see nature taking over
Absolutely love you guys, and I've talked to one of you on Instagram about urban exploring in and around Gary, IN. But this series about Fukushima, is some really touching and surreal stuff, like I know I live for this kind of stuff, and wish I could do more of it. But this is incredible. The very lack of vandalism is what makes it better. I hope I'll be able to visit out there someday!
Its sad to think you had to leave everything behind. Your stuff..Memories
This is so crazy to watch.
Yeah, next episode is also crazy ! Playstations and many other valuable items left.
My heart goes out to those people who lost everything.
Some of the children may see this on You Tube and see the classrooms, as they abandoned it. Every thing left exactly when classes ended in 2011
I think you should censor photos with people. You should have done that at least in the first video of this series where you filmed inside a house.
I’ve been to that school. I couldn’t go inside as I was on an official tour but we took a trip here in early January.
Rylan Sato cool, you liked it?! I was there this early january too (check the latest episodes)😎
Exploring the Unbeaten Path It was amazing and sad when you think about everyone leaving their lives behind at the drop of a hat. I saw your latest video and that’s how I found this one.
Next week we explore a crazy mega store!
After 4 years still watching,I wonder how the people are right now,what they do and how it looks rn,Fukushima is a time capsule I wanna see In person,alone all intact,japan is a lovely culture. The fact that 19.000+ people died is haunting,you never know the place you go if the guy is still alive or just above watching you
You guys should consider wearing protective gear and keeping Geiger's with you at all times real Brave guys.
That's just sad. Thanks for showing us.
Thanks for watching.. seen other episodes of this series? It was by far the most touching explore to date
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Yeah I watched the whole series in one sitting. You guys are awesome. Have a nice day!
Heb ze allemaal achter elkaar bekeken en ik vindt het echt zo interessant! Heel goed gemaakt ook. Kan al niet wachten voor de volgende!
Bedankt ! Ben daar nu mee bezig :)
This video makes me incredibly sad. Those kids were in school, as normal, the Tsunami alarm sounds and they have to evacuate. Thinking they'd be back tomorrow, or in a few days and then they never, ever came back. :(
I hope people that went to this school see this. See how their stuff hasn’t been touched since they left
Amazing and great explore.
Thanks mate, subbed on your channel aswell.. only explored some small houses in Norway !
So amazing record.. i so very sad to see all of this.. so sad
Eerie, fascinating and so unbelievable to think what happened here. As you panned around it is an eye opener. Many thanks for sharing
Abandoned Fukushima school, everything in tact, looks so clean, like classes were abandoned yesterday.
Its so heartbreaking when i saw those shoes 😢😢😢😢
Yes.. in these schools you realize the impact of the disaster
Omg poor animals they die way to young, people just leave them and they starve to death :'( It really make me sad
Great coverage, amazing to watch and see.
Sometimes 2 seconds can make the difference, especially when you're about to face a tsunami. And you don't want to handle 500 kids with their bags in a crowded place in such a situation.
such a privileged to watch...eventhough were not in japan but were like weve been to it....thanks.
Amazing series guys, keep it up!!
Just try to fix the sound, when you guys talk its almost impossible to hear and i have to raise my volume to 100%, the next second one of you takes a step and that sound almost blows up my speaker
+Lars Vos thanks mate, it was made with our old gear.. guess you will like the sound better in the new ones
nice to see it not ruined by tourists yet... as we speak. Hope it stays that way.
Man those instruments still work!
I may be mistaken, but you photographers seem to be completely on their own....no police presence, which is amazing.
If you both see my comment, congratulations for reaching places it seems Japanese photographers never did. Brilliant.
I'd like to go there myslef (I live about 200km away from there!).
the last classroom you were in, left me feeling so depressed for all the children who had to just leave without a moment's notice. I wouldn't have made it 10 ft in there without thinking about all the children, and whether or not they lost their lives or they made it away safely. thanks so much for showing the world this. Al I had ever seen was the youtube videos of the tsunami approach and immediate disaster. You people are very brave for taking all the risks you do, and I admire your determination to expose all that had been lost or forgotten. peace.
These guys will be glowing!
We're (still) fine Richard!
Echt bizar om te zien. En het moet helemaal vreemd zijn om daar zo rond te lopen. Zou het ook graag eens met eigen ogen willen zien. En ga vooral zo door met jullie kanaal, echt heel vet!
Bedankt, er liggen nog erg veel afleveringen op de plank ! :)
7:00 may this teacher of the school rest in peace. x
I feel terribly bad for the students :C
it takes 2 Seconds to take your stuff.... but all the children would use way more Room during escape with all their bags.
Poor pet fish and the turtle
Peter flores Indeed... and childeren too
Incredible.
Though you'll forgive me if everytime I hear your music intro, it reminds me of the TheProperPeople's intro.
I wonder if any of the japanese kids that went to this school saw this video and their desk, provided they survived the sunami?
you know, the radioactivity is still crazy there, hardly worth getting sick in a couple years for.
again, Good Job Bob
Amazing again, everything is left behind in the school 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
Next week we find also some crazy stuff ! Thanks for the comment
Excellent explore.
They left everything behind for a really good reason! No mask, no gloves, no geiger counter just touching stuff! :O crazy
Oneofusall we had a geiger counter and had “protection” in the worst contaminated area’s as you can see in other episodes
Exploring the Unbeaten Path no protection and no geiger in this video, touching stuff and breathing in radioactive dust. This is definetly nominee for Darwin award.
Inside buildings there is almost no radiation and also no radiation particles. You think we didn't do our homework? It's just silly to show the geiger counter the whole time and make it sensational. The focus is at the buildings.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath You did the right thing.
Awesome, hats off.
nice videos...from phillipines..wonderful videos.
Thanks for watching mate💪
Wat een bizar beeld, je verwacht dat ieder moment de kinderen terug komen naar de lessen.
Wat mij trouwens opvalt is hoezeer de school lijkt op een westerse school, als je de Japanse tekens weg denkt had dit zo een school in Nederland of België kunnen zijn.
Erg indrukwekkend.
Interesting ty for posting the series,1 question in the other episode that the police were summoned what did they say to u guys
Every thing is almost clean and it's weird to be a banded school ...
Yes. This building was not hit by the earthquake. Look at the abandoned supermarket.
Fukushima NPP disaster, just 7 years ago. Two guys touring an abandoned school. All the children's belongings, school stuff left on the tables. classes, lessons were abandoned
Top werk guys, hoeveel fukushima uploads volgen dr nog denk je? Grt
Volgende week komt nog een vette aflevering en dan zit het alweer erop ! We hebben veel meer plekken gezien, maar niet altijd tijd gehad om te filmen. We zijn wel aan het denken om terug te gaan.
I am crying now.think we have this situation.😥😥😥
wow! u did what i was thinking with the skeleton lol
Heartbreaking.
Amazing not even a thin layer of dust anywhere. Japan is dust free or is this place cleaned every so often?
The top floors always get more damaged during an earthquake because the amplitude of the movement is much bigger the higher you get. I was in Tokyo on the 9th floor of a building when the earthquake struck and I can tell you that everything fell on the floor...
This episode looks almost like it was sponsored by Adidas
i wish it was ;)
An abandoned part of Fukushima, just 7-8 years after their NPP disaster. Showing how quickly nature has taken over. Car completely covered in ivy, bikes left behind.
Coat and bag might take no time to get individually, but when it's a group of panicking kids rushing to the same area, congestion happens and it slows the evacuations by several minutes.
Damn what really got me sad was that abandoned mx-5.
I kinda want to go get that miata, try to find it’s owner, and if not refurbish it
Essa escola mesmo estando abandonada continua mais organizada que a maioria das escolas aqui do Brasil
I feel bad for the poor animals that were left in tanks to starve to death.
It shows the impact of the disaster
Es muy triste ver esta Escuela, pensar en los niños conmueve mucho.
Poor animals :(
Omg Danger of nuclear radiation bro😱
I'm curious to know if you measured the level of radiation when you were there?
Why would you go there unprotected???
That area was slightly less irradiated than most areas
There's almost no radiation there.
AWESOME TH-cam channel find! T bad more or all videos were done in English?
Some are in Dutch, others are in English. The Dutch ones have English subtitles
Awesome
Thanks mate 1
