Are you a fan of the water? Or partial to land? join the discussion!
I actually love everything about Japan though I've never visited. I'll hopefully be seeing it first-hand with my Son during Christmas and New Years 2025, as long as my health doesn't tank again. We were supposed to go last year but things went south for both my Son and myself. I've been making lifestyle changes that are beneficial to my health and am slowly recovering, getting stronger each passing day. 💪🏼
Definitely partial to land! Not being able to swim will definitely do that to you
Im so excited to get to see japan in the winter time ❤❤❤
Please do another video with Emi!! Her love of the water is so obvious and the vibe with you both, mixed with the beautiful scenery makes this one of my fav videos. ✌️
Bro, give Emi both snack boxes! lol.
Hi Norm, Thank you for the coolest video!!
Hello everyone, this is Emi from Kachidoki Marina. I'm super happy to share my field with all of you. I hope I can introduce Tokyo Port in real!! Waiting for your visit:-)
EMI!!!!! Thank you SOOO Much for helping me with this!!
Only took us what... a YEAR to finally make it happen? hahhaa
Let's get together again soon!!
Always a pleasure to see you in these videos, Emi! Your enthusiasm is as contagious as ever.
That was amazing! Thanks for taking us along too. If you did night tours you'd be busy all year!
sugoi!
There's always something special about watching someone who truly enjoys what they do for work. Loved the positive and friendly vibes & hope to see more from Norm & Emi in the future
Wow, Tokyo from the water at night is just stunning. And Emi's enthusiasm is so contagious - love it!
my face still hurts from smiling so much~
Man, Norm, I love these videos so much. You show so many of the things that don’t get shown elsewhere and that’s appreciated.
Glad I could share this one~
Same! So awesome.
100% agree. So fun to find people to tell about a place and people beyond just what travel guides have to offer. Certainly Tokyo is on my wish list to visit but so are a few 1000 places.
I adore how Emi is able to appreciate so many little details. This brings joy to us viewers.
Thank you Emi & Norm!
I think one of your greatest skills is the ability to find people with passion; any time you feature someone else on the channel they almost always adore their subject matter and it makes it all the more enjoyable.
Emi's waterway excitement and enthusiasm seems totally contagious! She seems like she would be so fun to boat, or do anything with!! Thanks for sharing this beautiful experience with us Mr Norm!! 🙏💙✌️
Emi is a gem for sure!! Thank you so much! 😊
Absolutely stunning... I could spend hours on the water, listening to EMI talk about whatever! She is so vibrant and enthusiastic, it's contagious!
Emi’s enthusiasm has got me excited about Japans waterways! I hope you can collaborate with them more in the future
I love seeing people in their element. The way she looks at things and talks about her passion is contagious
I can never get enough of Emi's enthusiasm and love for Tokyo's maritime culture.
I feel like Emi is a one in a million sort of person. They just seem to be different from most anyone with their personality, knowledge, and energy.
Definitely a counter culture girl. She doesn't fit any sort of stereotype! Sail out, Queen!
For it "not being a sight seeing place " it sure is beautiful!🤩
Emi is cool.
You can tell she really loves being out there on the water.
I feel like Emi could make anyone enjoy boating in Tokyo. So much excitement and knowledge in one person is contagious!
Absolutely loved Emi's energy, hearing people talk about the things they love is always a joy.
I love Emi’s adoration for the city and bridges and waterways in general. I wish you had time to do a video with her every month 😊
As a person who isn't a night person, watching nightlife stuff feels like a different world and now watching a tour from a small boat, this looks sooooooooooooooooooooooooo different from everything else.
To be able to navigate through a major city like this just feels so surreal, Emi is just so knowledgeable and passionate, a late night tour with Emi and Norm, what more could you ask for?.. except maybe some of those orange kitkats lol
When we get to learn from people who are passionate with their craft, we not only learn their art, we also carry a wonderful legacy of knowledge beyond time and space.
It's always nice when a person finds a passion in what they do. Others can clearly and visibly see that they will be all smiles even during their job
Yup. Nothing like watching fireworks from down by the water. Had that pleasure at a 4th of July display in Dubuque. Dad owned a house boat that was docked at the marina on the Mississippi. It was refreshing in the heat, for one. And, a clear, unobstructed view, for another. Sound was amplified in the river valley, too.
The thing I best remembered from that night was the Air Guard doing a show for the city. You could see a stealth fighter flying nape of the earth along the river, but didn't hear a thing until it passed. It was going super sonic.
Emi’s vibes are immaculate. Would love to see more of her in your adventures.
I am falling in love more and more with Tokyo. Now I know Nihombashi is not just a train station, there is something beautiful to look for.
Man, this was a good one. I appreciate you having someone from Japan showcasing a passion of theirs. It’s really refreshing to see Japan through the eyes of locals in this way. Would love to see more like this.
I am fascinated by waterways that run throughout large cities. I live in a small town in Indiana and we have the Erie Canal and multiple rivers running through it...LOTS to explore! Where there's water there's life. This is one of my favorite videos you've done!
Man, they gotta start doing night tours, this is an amazing view!
I miss Tokyo so much. I lived in Japan 10 years and every time I see one of these videos, it's like I'm instantly back home.
One of my favorite things to take pictures of is the reflection of light on water. Never gets old. 😊
That Rainbow Bridge spot is so cool! I love how Emi was all, "It's not a sightseeing spot" and I now want to go and see it. I went to Chicago recently and the architecture tours by boat were The Thing to do and now I wish I had done a Tokyo boat tour. Please do this again! It was beautiful and Emi is such a great teacher. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! The city lights on the water is just stunning! I love Emi's bubbly enthusiasm. Such a warm, friendly person. More adventures together would be great. 😊
I would 100% watch a channel of you and Emi doing boat tours.
I love seeing how excited Emi is about boats dude Emi's so cool !
We gave our friend a subscription to the Sakura Co box for Christmas this year and he has had nothing but praise for the variety in them. It was the perfect gift.
Never knew Tokyo could be so beautiful from the water, now I wanna have a go :)
And that lighting on that bridge in the end, it is almost as if it was designed that way.
There is something enthralling about cityscapes at night, each lit window plays out a story we can only but imagine.
Something distant and isolated yet paradoxically gives you a sense of togetherness in the wider world.
Really enjoyed this and thanks to Emi san for being a delightful host n_n
I am absolutely fascinated by seeing the underside of bridges like this!! So beautiful and mesmerising.
Also yikes to that story at the start! So glad you didn't get arrested 😅
couldnt agree more~
Tokyo has many faces as each area has different vibes but if you see them from a boat on the river, it looks everything is connected. The night colorful lights makes the view more and more beautiful! Love the relaxing cruise that I cannot easily experience. Thank you Norm & Emi!😆✨
Another accomplishment, Norm! Spectacular views all around. It is nice to see Emi in another video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Norm finds and befriends the sweetest people. 🥹
Emi is amazing. It's so great to see someone smile for a change.
Growing up on Vancouver Island, and Vancouver BC, I have been on the water for more than 40 years. Vancouver from the water at night, is special.
Every time i watch your video i fall in love with Japan over and over, it is amazing your view of Japan is just awesome, thank you.
since no one else is saying it, ill say it. Emi is SO ATTRACTIVE!!!!
As Kylo Ren would say, 'MORE!!!"
At 16:53, the smile we see is like sunshine in the dark.
Seriously, Norm, there is something special about you on a boat, talking and taking us on a journey across the water. Please do more when your schedule permits. Thanks.
Emi's so enthusiastic, her passion for boating is very clear! Also, I love the look she gave you at the end, that whole playful "and next time I better get the WHOLE snack box to myself!"
😂
I liked all of this, especially the when Emi was describing the people’s light in the building. The randomness of lights on can shape the building.
So relaxing and peaceful. And emi seems like one of those people that just radiate the warmth of sunlight and the peace of the moonlight. Thank you for the escape Norm
this video was absolutely mind-blowing, i did not realize just how beautiful Tokyo could be from the water at night--amazing!! Also Emi is amazing, her knowledge and passion is so cool.
The city looks incredible during the night, nice that Tokyo Tower lights are turned off during a full moon, little things like that are what makes Japan so special
15:05 things like this make me love Japan more and more, one day I'll get there
This has to be one of the most beautiful videos i have ever seen in youtube…. Ever….. is gorgeous. What a wonderful gift 💝 please keep more of this coming 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
These Tokyo waterway videos made me learn about something I'd normally not associate with the city. Definitely going to find a way to take a boat whenever I find my way back there.
Lately, I tried doing some night photography in the Tokyo bay (I'm there for 6 months on a study exchange) and one thing I noticed, is that the cameras never have the dynamic range to record the true beauty of night-time Tokyo that you see with your own eyes when you're there... I think you did a fabulous job in spite of that limitation, though I now know for sure I'd love to be there in person because it looks that much better...
I love cityscapes, especially at night. Thank you so much both for sharing this with us, and with a great soundtrack too!
18:26 Staving off the armchair nitpickers 😅
I love these videos that show Japan through a rarely seen lens.
Norm, thanks for all of your wonderful exploration of Japan videos! My wife and I are just now returning from an amazing 12 days in Japan. We just HAD to ride the Tokyo Cruise “space boat” from Asakusa to Odaiba! It was fantastic to see even just a few of Tokyo’s waterways! We kept an eye out, just in case you were out boating at the same time.
its... glorious, the lit sky, majestic skylines... detail... a perspective almost no one sees, but it all has this beautiful and calm midnight look and feels so... surreal, distanced.
The videography in these low light videos is always incredible. You truly have a knack for capturing these “reflectiony” shots the way you do
You've outdone yourself this video. Really makes me want to go on a tour and see Tokyo from an entirely different perspective. And doing the Tokyo Treat promo from a boat under Nihonbashi...genius.
Growing up in California my dad and I used to go cruising and camping around the Sacramento river delta in our little green ski boat, checking out all the nooks and crannies and interesting sights around the area and the Sac port; this gives me a lot of the same vibes as that, but with a vaporwave or city pop background. Definitely cruising around Tokyo bay is now on my bucket list. There's just something magical about life on water and the way that people build their lives around living on or by water
Tokyo waterways at night, not something I would have ever guessed I would be interested in seeing but here we are! Thanks for the video!
This is by far one of your best videos. I was born in Tokyo, grew up there, but I have NEVER seen Tokyo like this. Thank you very much and please make a part 2.
This really does feel like unseen places. I love the bgm choice as well. It really adds to the feel of the shots.
I love how much knowledge and how enthusiastic Emi is about the waterways. It looks so beautiful where you both sailed around, I'd love to visit Japan one day, it's amazing 😍
This is great! Your first video inspired me to follow the waterways on my holiday to Tokyo last week. I started at Kanada Bridge Park and walked to Edobashi Bridge, then I cycled out to Furuishibagawa Water Park. For anyone interested it looks like you can take a rivercruise from Soujuro Pier near Nihonbashi Bridge and see some of the waterways shown in your videos.
The waterways videos are one of my favorites on this channel, and i can not stress enough how much i love all the genuine and interesting people Norm is able to introduce us to.
Great to see somebody passionate about what they do, Enjoying being on the water, enjoying all the boats, keep being cool.
Thank you for the beautiful and relaxed video. You can really tell that you both like it on the waterways of Tokyo. But thanks to the image stabilizers and post-processing, you hardly notice that the boat was shaking ;)
Norm! You meet the coolest people. This is how I want to live my life. Taking time to meet passionate people!
I can't get over how beautiful Tokyo looks from those waterways. Really getting an itching to go on the waters now!
The unique views of the architecture you get from only the water is so surreal and beautiful. I love how Tokyo has a lot of their highways and rails above the waterways as to maximize land for buildings and housing. Very genius and innovative, the rest of the world can learn from this urban planning masterpiece. Also all the poles in the water from the bridges and roads adds to the depth of the water ways truly making it feels like a maze. Fantastic video!
Absolutely love your energy. It's very infectious. I watched a small marathon of your videos last weekend. Always excited for new uploads. Thank you, Norm.
So now I follow a drift car nut, a train fan, and a boat enthusiast here on TH-cam. All three of them based in Japan. Is there an airplane lover TH-camr that's also in Japan?
Ok, so.... I'm 100% sure Japan is GORGEOUS... BUT, @tokyolens, your camera work is so good, it feels like ur skills make Japan really beautiful, and it makes me think if it's really that good. 😂 Keep up the good stuff, bro.
The views are beautiful and we can see why you guys love being there! Thank you Emi and Norm! I definetly gonna watch it again.
I don't know if it's you or the way you film, but your videos always feel so cozy and full of happiness. ❤
Watching this really reminds me of the anime Aria - a series about girls training to be professional tour guide gondoliers, known as Prima Undines - the chill and wholesome feeling of navigating the waterways on a boat with the tour guide Emi pointing out the many sights that they enjoy has a very similar feel, and I love it.
Every time I see one of the water way videos I'm always so impressed with how extensive the tokyo water ways are and how pretty 😍. Tokyo is so pretty at night 😊
It really does feel like getting a peak at a hidden world. Even better at night. It would be such an amazing thing to experience in person. It's just so cool to see everything from a completely different perspective ie. Not from a satellite photo.
japan is so beautiful, what a crazy story about your boating experience glad it was in Tokyo where they think without shooting first lol
There's just something so majestic about seeing Tokyo from a boat at night. Like even just watching it through a video! I can't imagine how much more amazing it would be in person!
When I was in Tokyo with a few friends earlier this year we accidentally exited the subway at the wrong station, which meant we had to walk for 40 minutes in the evening to get where we were supposed to go, crossing over a couple of bridges (one which is in the video as well) and walking along the water. It was amazing and one of the most memorable nights I had that trip. I'm so glad we made that mistake of exiting early. Sometimes the best moments are the unplanned ones, but Tokyo's waterfront never fails to amaze
Norm I love your videos. Have to say they not only brighten my day but I get to live vicariously through the film. That full moon shot with the bridge and road was 🤌👌💯%
So many of the places I recognize from just walking along the Sumida river...
I loved the view of the curving highways before you got to the lit highway and did the sponsor. Those dragon statues where awesome too!
What a cool experience. Always love your unique videos Norm. Emi is so cool and funny. Couldn’t have imagined a better boater to give interesting information and show us beautiful scenery.
The light of people living life- I like that.
Great video! I think I would just live there on the water if I could.
Shout out to Emi, what a ROCKSTAR!!! You show off all these amazing hidden gems, I love your channel
Seeing Japan from the water at night just hits different. The lights, the bridges, so pretty.
And that was a cool little fact about Tokyo tower and the full moon.
Emi is a wealth of knowledge with all of her years on the water.
I'm kinda surprised there isn't an anime about living on the Tokyo water ways.
Anyways Emi is such an awesome guest. I always love seeing them in here.
Beautiful scenery. Emi knows ALL the best spots.
I love that they do things so you can look at the moon. Just something so beautiful about that. 🥰
Awesome video!!!!!!!!! your channel is awesome!
Awesome find Norm, love it!!!!
Emi "This is not for sightseeing" while showing an incredible highway on the ocean with views all around lol. Man japanese infrastructure hits different.
What a wonderful ride that would be. Looks so nice at night.
The view from the water at night is gorgeous! I wouldn’t know about Tokyo’s water ways if it weren’t for you Norm!
Stunning views! Loved that 360 view in the non sightseeing area...so great 🌃
WOW! The scenery is beautiful, all the waterways are very clean in the urban area, which might only be found in Japan of the entire world. Thanks, Norm & Emi.
Japan is at the top of my list of places I would visit if I could. My circumstances mean it likely will never happen, but I thank you for taking me of these beautiful journeys so I can at least get a taste of travelling.
