Kyoto is filled with so many amazing hidden spots!! (There's a ton of vids linked in the description box!!) - potential favorite: Fushimi Inari at night!!
And if you love beautiful hidden areas, make sure to check out the once-hidden onsen town!! th-cam.com/video/m0c5TVXWA4E/w-d-xo.html
**THIS WEEK: Kicking off a HUGE adventure with the Patreon Crew where YOU Choose this years next big adventure!!** Come join the fun!!
i'm so happy to have found your channel!
To be honest, I'm most amazed by the old couple who recognized you after over a year and still remember you do videos. With all the people that come through you still stand out :)
i mean hes not japanese so he does stick out a bit more, so im not too surprised.
@@Digi123 the point is people native to japan wont see it that way. he doesnt look like them. thats not a bad thing, but it makes him easier to remember because he stands out.
Now, this is how I'd like to spend my day! Wandering the forest, finding hidden trails and secret shrines. I haven't been to Kyoto yet, but this is 100% on my to-do list when I get there. Absolutely gorgeous! And moss!!!😍
the best way to spend a day~
Just need to avoid that unmarked death trail 🤣
Everything you captured such as beautiful green moss, wet ground and the stream down the path makes me realize how cold it was but also exciting adventure you went through! Little snow left on the ground makes amazing contact with the red torii gates too!😊✨
honestly such a great trip to go on!! 10/10 recommend this!!
So extremely
Norm you are getting me so excited about my trip in two weeks. My first time visiting Japan my friend and I explored some of the exact same places you showed in this video! We had no idea where we were going and just stumbled upon them. Your camera work really conveys the beauty of those places and reminds me of how special it felt being there.
I hope you have an absolutely spectacular trip!!!
I am sure it will be!
@@TokyoLens It was a spectacular trip!
All the secrets, passageways, even hidden hikes, cities with history are so awesome
honestly love it~
When my friends and I visited Fushimi Inari in 2017 we found those trails by accident and just wandered around for hours exploring all of the little shrines and the bamboo forest, one of the highlights of the trip!
Seeing the old couple still recognise Norm after a year, that was the best moment!
Wow, Kyoto is more beautiful every time I see it! Also your guide was so knowledgeable! Thanks for taking us along Norm 🇯🇵
Thanks for coming along for it~
The amount of information Akiko provided and all the curiosities from the different segments of the Fushimi Inari were a treat to learn about! Thanks for all the content
Glad you enjoyed it!
and thank you so much for being here~
Wow! What a beautiful area! I would love to see this with my own eyes some day. It’s magical places like these that have me completely enthralled by Japan and it’s culture.
Also, so amazing to learn new customs from locals. I absolutely love opportunities like that! 😻
Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with us!
thank you so much for being here for it~
These uploads keep magically lining up with my breaks at work and I absolutely love it 😂 The lesser known or “secret” parts of Kyoto have always been something I am super curious about. One of my favorite videos from you recently, keep up the great work man!
theres a whole extra set of videos in the description with even MORE hidden spots in Kyoto!!
Thank you for showing off the remarkable country that is Japan. I hope to take my parents on a trip there once I graduate from high school. ❤
I can't explain how happy I get seeing you just overjoyed to hike there, exploring a new side of one of your favourite places. Way to go, Norm! ❤
Kyoto has been on my list for a decade. The stairs, the historical architecture, the other-worldly vibe…just so beautiful. Thanks for taking us through. ❤️
and its about 10,000% better when you get out of the main tourist areas to spots like this hidden trail!!
Hidden places are just delightful, and give magical aura around them
truly~
I finally had the chance to go there last week, and visit all of the hidden shrines around Fushimi Inari, there was nobody and it was magical. And I also ended up climbing to the summit by night, it was awesome. I took so many pictures~
My daughter and I got to the bamboo forest very early in the morning. The trails where empty and we got got great pictures. We walked thru the neighbors and then over the Ashirama to see the monkeys. We had a really good lunch at a Buddhist restaurant run by a very friendly elderly couple. Then we walked up Fushimi Inari. It was a wonderful day.
What a great experience. That sounds like the best day ever. You're so lucky!😊
Hidden hiking trail to Fushimi Inari?! This is what I am here for! Bamboo trial?? I've added this to my list. It's so hard to find stillness in Kyoto and this totally ticked that box for me.
honestly every part of this had me smiling inside and out~!
I was smiling through this whole video too! I wish I had known about this trail when my sister was with me. She commented on how crowded Kyoto was at the time (this was like 10 years ago) and I wish I could have shown here this trail! And you saw the previous store owner! How magical!
I love how this video not only showcased the beautiful location you visited but also provided a deep cultural experience. That's so interesting that depending on what side you entered the gate from you also had to enter using the associated sides leg first
Fushimi Inari seems like a place you could explore for a week, and still find new hidden details and places.
Amazing to see a secret passage to a popular spot!!!
loved it!
My First time in Kyoto, I went on one of the trails that leads from the main path because it was stupidly busy. had an amazing peaceful hike by myself, while everyone else had to stop every for often for people taking photos. There seems to heaps of these trails and they are all surprisingly quiet and scenic compared to the main trail
I love how everything so calm and chill then she’s just like “DEATH” 💀11:41
So peaceful
very~
I’ve decided to study japanese in kyoto for a year and this is definitely a place I'll be visiting during my studies! Such a beautiful place!!
Love all your content.
Thanks so much!
Ooo! Hidden trails!
the best kind of trails!
12:25 haha, I walked from the shrine to where you guys were standing a year ago. I had no idea how far it kept going and decided around there to turn back in fear of getting lost.
Notification squad where we at?? Excited to see the gorgeous place you have lined up for us today
Notification squad love~
best group ever!
My friend, thank you so much for getting out there and sharing this with us. Truly, this is exactly something I needed, as I feel like in the past few years I lost all the energy and spirit for adventures. Truly an amazing video and thank you again. Wishing you all the best. :)
I love the excitement with which you explore the country of Japan! I'm not certain I'll ever make to that part of the world, so I'm grateful to be able to see it through your eyes.
I love it when you do these kinds of videos, japan just seems like a place out of a fantasy. Its really fun to learn new things about the customs and the shrines and hopefully i would be able to experience this myself one day. Thank you Norm for making these wonderful videos! Stay blessed!
Just gorgeous. Thank you.
Hi norm. I can’t wait for this adventure!
Hope you enjoy it!
Just seeing this brings back so many memories of my time at Fushimi Inari in 2016. Thanks for showing us, Norm!
Always a joy seeing new videos by you, Norm!
I felt like I was hiking together! Thank you for a amazing tour Norm!😆 Also, Akiko san is a wonderful guide!👍😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much Lemi!
It's really cool when places like that have secrets. Like, everyone knows the main area exist but to know there's more to it and know how to get there seems amazing.
It was so fun to see you be the one shown around for a change! Especially with Akiko being such a wonderful guide! 🤩
What a hike!
What an amazing guide, perfect fit for a Tokyo Lens video, she had very positive happy vibes and a lot of amazing tidbits. I actually learned a few new things about Japan in this video including now how to properly enter a tori gate.
I KNEW you were Canadian!!! If my hubby and I ever get to Japan we'd love to have you show us around. You have such joy in all you see....it would be a joy to have you show us.
Absolutely beautiful. These shrines are insane… your hiking vids are awesome, Norm!🎉
Glad you like them! They're a ton of fun to make~
Finally got to do this tour today with Akiko, it was amazing, the trails were so serene and peaceful. Such a surreal experience to have seen these areas previously here and to then experience them firsthand
thats amazing!!
Thank you so much for sharing~
Ah, so refreshing. Love hidden hiking trails
What a magical place to explore ❤
Many thanks for the video!
Absolutely gorgeous, fun, and Fushimi never ceases to be awe inspiring and awesome. I'm going to be all over that mountain. 😍 🎶 My excitement is so real. 14 days til I'm back in Tokyo, 20 til I'm in Kyoto again. Have a great week, Norm 💜✌🐦
Fushimi is just the gift that keeps giving!!
14 DAYS?!?! you 100% KNOW that the studio is open for you right?
@@TokyoLens 🥳 🙃 secret insta DM messaged a bit ago with dates, but figured I'd contact once I was on the ground and settled 😆 trying not to bounce off the walls in anticipation
Thank you Norm for sharing such beauty💕
What a gem! This is so beautiful. ❤
truly!
YES 🙌🏻 I LOVE FUSHIMI INARI TOO 😭 no matter how many people say that you can find similar one in other parts of japan, Fushimi Inari has that special ambience, especially if you go early in the morning. When the morning sun hits some parts of its area, it’s just so beautiful and peaceful
I'm late, but I just wanted to say that this video was absolutely incredible to watch. Seeing the "secret side" of Japan's most famous shrine was fantastic.
The sights were great, and Akiko was such an amazing tour guide. She knows her stuff and deserves all of the praise.
Great video, Norm, and thanks for continuously amazing me with all of your content. Makes me want to go back to Japan EVEN MORE, if that's even possible! I share your feelings about Japan, and one day, I'd love to go from Wakkanai to Okinawa.
This was another great video Norm. You are really capturing some essences of Japan and sharing it with so many of us. Thank you.
Michele, thank you so much for those kind words!!
I'm usually a silent watcher but I need to tell you: I love your energy in front of the camera! And the opportunity to have a piece of Japan for ourselves. ♥️
I really appreciate that~
Thank you so much!
I loved all these hidden videos, it's cool o see things that usually only locals would know. And the fact that you got to see and record the old guy(I assume is a priest or something but don't wan't to call him that incase he isn't) is INSANE. Honestly that clip needs to go to a museum because of how awesome and rare it is.
Very cool, man
This is so beautiful!
+1 to the Kyoto destination bucket list, thanks Norm!
such a great place to be!!
Yay! More hidden Kyoto videos! Didn't know about this secret path through Fushimi Inari, but that bamboo grove looks amazing. Gotta try to find that when I'm finally in Kyoto in a few months!
Always enjoy watching the hiking around the more hidden or unknown paths during dinner. So cool to find out back paths like these exist around these well known tourist spots.
That is unbelievably beautiful. Wow
thank you!
Good morning! Always excited to see where you end up in your adventures and definitely love the hidden hikes! Maybe one day you can teach us all about the shrines? The customs, mannerisms, what each part symbolizes and such? I think it would be fascinating. 😊
fascinating video Tokyo Lens.
Absolutely gorgeous hike! Thank you for sharing, Norm! Can't wait for the next adventure!
such a beautiful area
i just really love how the transition from like urban area where there is house and stuff which is beautiful and then there is a hidden hiking path behind 1 of the most beautiful shrine in japan, and then we got to see like the monk(correct me if im wrong) praying near the small waterfall place its just soo relaxing and beautiful, and we got to see the old couple again from 2 years ago on your documentary video i really love this thank you for sharing this norm and of course akiko (sorry if misheard) too, for guiding us to this magical place!! otsukare
i currently watching your older videos its kinda weird seeing how different you are in recent video lol its good tho im having a good time haha
Another exciting and fun adventure. Cheers Norm!
Many thanks Mr Norm, for giving those of us who can't travel, a glimpse into these magical places! 🙏✌️🙏
its always a treat whenever you capture a secret place in japan, always like your hiking videos too Norm!
Absolutely beautiful!💯
Very nice ❤️
Norm! Keep it up legend, you never cease to bring the great content to us, and we always appreciate it, and you!
I just get an overwhelming feeling of peace when I see things like this. Would love to go one day. 🙏
Awe inspiring!
wow... looks a calming view at the forest
I went to Fushimi Inari shrine in december and it was amazing, I never knew about all the trails and small shrines around, now I want to go back🤣
Omg. These are the places that I really wanna experience in Japan. I love these kind of videos you do.
This is amazing! Really want to spend lots more time in this area next time we go to Japan. It's just so fast and there's so much to see in and around Fushimi Inari! Thanks for sharing ☺️
I am so happy About new hiking video. I couldnt wait🥰
this forest is absolutely stunning! 🥰
I love videos like these. If time wasn't an issue treks like this would be on my to do list.
im speechless i have been to Fushimi Inari but just walking on the forest with a different point of view of the shrine is crazy, also how luck you are you got to see the priest doing his routine, also loved the tour guide Akiko the small details she explained and the background it just took the tour to another level thanks!!!
Stone and Moss make the perfect combinations for landscape aesthetic.
Thank you for the video. It was interesting to see the hidden places.
2:56. The music and the place reminds me a Water Temple in Tomba 2.
Fushimi-inari was one of my highlights when exploring Kyoto. Fascinated with the endless amount of Torii
Another Amazing Video !!!
Always gotta love walking around in nature
I actually came back from a long hike when you uploaded the video so I went straight to sleep, good thing I remembered to come back and check it because this is an absolute gem that I will save for when maybe I'll be able to visit the place.
Yes norm you are awesome.
haha too kind~ thank you
Great tour with Akiko! Always nice to learn new things!
Amazing video ❤
Glad you liked it!!
A stunning behind the scenes look at Japan. Their culture is so deep and old. Thank you for a most memorable experience. Your lady friend is an encyclopedia of cultural gems. I loved her willingness to share her knowledge. Well done Sir! 👍❤️
Love how happy you get seeing new things!! Thank you for another great video!! ☺️
Absolutely magical and your choice of music almost got me crying with how beautiful everything was lol. Really hope I get a chance to visit someday!
I’m so happy to know there’s other trails at the shrine, AND a different bamboo forest, so I can get those bamboo forest shots and not have to worry about anxiety. 👌 📸
Definitely gonna look into Magical Trip tours!
What a beautiful place. You’re videos are always so fun and calming.
It's the same couple from the last kyoto video!! They remembered and even asked if you were recording. That puts a smile on my face
It’s actually the woman from the empty Kyoto documentary! The one in the thumbnail! 😊
What a wonderful vlog and a big reason I think you have the best channel on TH-cam. You continue to bring so many interesting topics and places to visit and in this particular one I feel like being there with you guys. My respect Norm from a fellow youtuber, keep it up!
Love the backroads side of such a popular area. I wandered off into a few my first time through and it was always such a nice respite from the massive amounts of people elsewhere. I’ve got a trip upcoming and returning to fushimi inari is one of the things I’m most excited about.
it was just such a great place to be!
Already cant wait to get back~
