Can't imagine Kyoto going into bankruptcy, its so sad and I was only there for half a day. Also quite amazing just how fast it can happen after having nonstop tourists for the past several decades at least
I hope it doesnt! But unfortunately as you might have seen at the start of the Kyoto livestream, I wouldnt be surprised if it did hopefully it will be ok!
In 2012 I went to Osaka castle with a family friend. We were walking through the south west garden when I was accosted by the most violent raven I've even encountered. I've never feared for my life as much as I did in that moment. It was no ordinary raven. This was a boss raven. It had a scar over it's right eye and I'm 90% sure it was smoking a cigarette.
Everytime I watch your videos made in this style, I just get these overwhelming emotions I haven’t felt anywhere else, it’s unexplainable, like a sadness that I can’t be there to experience it in person, but an immense joy that it exists, you just put everything together so elegantly.
Love the behind-the-scenes footage of you hangin' with Chris and Sharla. Having seen Chris's video of your visit, this video adds an extra dimension. Love it when TH-camrs do that.
This video was a visual feast, and I appreciate how much editing it must have taken to cobble together all the trips!! Nice to see all these places again, as well as some friends like the guitar guy in Fukuoka. Plus we got a mini review of hotel rooms around Japan! Nice work, Norm.
Fingers crossed that Japan opens up this year! My future itinerary only hits Sendai of these cities, but maybe one day, after I hit other countries I want to visit, I will explore the southwest more. Until then, there's your videos!
Do visit sendai! I did my exchange there at Tohoku university for a year. Awesome place to live if you love to live in a city but would also like to experience nature. That’s why it’s also called the city of trees
I just love watching these videos exploring different regions and cities of Japan. Thank you for all you do. I'm about to interview for the JET Program as a CIR in the coming weeks, and I can't be more excited to possibly be going to Japan. I've been so enamored with the country for its long history, traditional culture, and beautiful land since I was 13, so finally getting to go at 31 will be a dream come true. I can't wait to visit these places in person one day.
Tokyo Lens Explore was an answer to my prayers! I love having videos up while i work and play games on my second monitor but short videos mean more ads so i am always looking for long content. Your walks are fun, relaxing and at points informational! Thanks for all your hard work Norm, and heres to a great 2022
Ugh I MISS JAPAN!!! ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for all the live streams and this beautiful video Norm! They’ve been such a huge escape while working or doing anything during the day☺️☺️
There are no other words except for captivating and mesmerizing. Every area, every feature….the time you take to share your journeys with us is deeply appreciated
I know I say it under most of your videos mate but your bgm choices are top notch, so much better than most TH-camrs out there. It gives depth to your videos
With the exception of Sapporo, you pretty much replicated our last itinerary in 2019-2020! We loved Kokura so much and stayed right in Kokura Station. Your stream from there made me cry. This was fantastic and I enjoyed the snippet format, especially knowing I can go back and watch the longer streams. Thanks for starting 2022 off great! あけましておめでとうございます
Even worse is how much the banking cartel is depleting from Japan in the form of "financial aid" turned into never ending debt. Japan even more in the hole than america is per GDP. USA debt is highest, but so is our GDP.
No favorites.... Because I love them all! It was nice to see a recap of your year-end month-long streams and videos. Sad to have missed most of your live streams but glad that you keep most of them up in the channel for those who missed them. I say it a lot, and I will say it again, thank you for bringing us around with you. Your streams and videos will keep me satiated until I can finally visit Japan in person. Stay safe and healthy.
I started watching the channel not too long ago so I've been having a really good time going through the older videos. Feels kind of weird to see all those big cities so empty though.
Can i just say i love your longer videos, i just never get bored, theres so much to see!!! All the time when i see other people post videos in japan, i feel like we're missing out on so much! I Really love when you take the time to go look at a certain spot you were mentioning. The more the better!
The music added a nice atmosphere. So many beautiful things. The traditional look of Kyoto. The more modern look of Osaka. That one tree in Fukuoka. The Astro Boy place.
Catching up on your older videos. I don’t normally comment, but this video brought a tear to my eye … was able to relive my month in Kyushu at the outbreak of the pandemic. So many happy memories. Thank you from Australia
Always love your videos Norm! My family and I have a goal to visit all 47 prefectures in our lifetime and we were making good progress until COVID started. We used to visit Japan annually since 2013 but obviously haven’t been back in the last few years. We appreciate you showing viewers all parts of the beautiful country of Japan! I hope you have a meet up in the future the next time we visit.
For the bags of gravel in Sapporo, they're definitely there in winter (I've only been in Hokkaido during the winter only). I've also seen something similar in nearby Otaru, except they have crushed shellfish shells. It's a smart system to help people not slip as much on the roads during winter!
So many places! And so, so many beautiful shots! Just came here from the Nara video from one year ago, and it's true, the value of creativity, creating. It's so obvious here, with these endless snapshots showing the beauty and liveliness of the moment. Loving it. Having been covered by an icy blanket of wet grey clouds for 2.5 months straight, and unable to travel atm - watching this has been both a needed and defiant pleasure. ^^
Rewatching this one - an oldie but a goodie. Still remember being locked up inside and watching the Kyoto castle live stream. Ahhh, so many occasions you kept us sane Norn 🥲
My grandpa doesn't remember much now, due to his age, but when I asked him about how he used to be a pilot, his face lit up and he said "Yes I've flown a plane. Just beautiful." We talked about the clouds. On my flight to go visit and take care of him for a while, was the first time I ever saw myself above the clouds, that I can remember. I know I flew with him when I was younger (about 6 years old) & told him it looked like the ending to Willy Wonka, but I remember that more like a small photo reel in my brain. To see the clouds and all the world from above in the day, was lovely. I want to fly one day, like you and him.
The little food stands in Fukuoka looks so fun to just grab some food and meet people...also the city at night is just beautiful. That castle with the funky backdrop seems like something to behold😮
Found this video hidden inside my watch later playlist and can't believe it's almost a year passed by since I added it. Happy that I spotted it when I was moving videos to their dedicated playlists for things I want to watch. Doing travel and behind the scenes content in 1 video is something I think you combine really well and is always fun to spot what other videos/streams you were doing at that time. Also big fan of the Hokkaido snow
I thoroughly loved watching all the streams back and I'm glad I caught 2 of them live, my favourite was probably Kyoto, it's just so gorgeous, I'm quite sad to hear they're not doing financially well, hope the best for them and thank you Norm for all the great content.
That was EPIC! Defintly what I needed today!!! What an adventure it has been! I am so glad to be part of it (even if its just from a viewing stand point)
Nice wrap up of all the excellent walking tours. Lucky you can still get about and see the place. Fingers crossed we’re getting a bit more back to normal.
Been Japan multi times as a Hong Konger, in a covid days when travelling is not as feasible as it used to be, you shown us the different vibe of Japan where we easily would miss. Yes it is the normal, beautiful details from the daily lives. Thank you, great video.
I was surprised that I had actually caught 2/3 of your live streams. The collage of steams was wonderfully done! I hope your having a good 2022. Be safe my friend 🤘😋
Can't believe I missed this video. I'm planning on taking a month's leave from work when Japan opens up so I can do some serious traveling in Japan. Nice to see someone else had the same idea.
I was lucky to catch some of those streams live but for many I had to watch the archives (I still haven't watched some yet but will do soon). They're pretty great! As pretty and peaceful as they look without people, I do hope things go back to normal cause they also feel lonely to look at empty. Also, the threat to people's livelihood is also worrying. I do hope better things happen this year. Thank you for all the wonderful videos and stream! I'm excited for the stuff that'll come out this year!
The castles and temples are so cool looking, I can't wait to check them out in person. Hopefully with my friend who really deserves a once in a lifetime vacation like this.
I loooove Kokura too. Especially the upside down monorail and a little path with some nice trees next to the river. Unfortunately the castle was closed the day I was there, but I have a photo from that exact favourite spot of yours, for the same reasons you like it!
I didn't notice the first time I watched, but you definitely used the nice paper for Sharla, and the cheap gift paper for Chris. Funny! I really want to check out Kokura. It looks like such a nice place!
Thank you so much for taking us on all of your adventures Norm! Looking forward to all the new ones in 2022 so I can live vicarriously through you until I can visit myself!! Much love from Idaho US!
I was there in April 2021. It was extremely quiet even in Gion. I took photos in top spots without anyone nearby. I was happy to come back to Tokyo as I can remember because I miss the vibrant and lively city so much. At that time, Tokyo was quiet too.
I first found your channel because I was searching up videos of Kyoto with the hopes of staying there come April, and it is so so saddening to hear that it might go bankrupt. Thank you for documenting this so we can live vicariously through you.
Funny (?) story. I avoided Kyoto on my first (and so far only) trip to Japan in 2107 - because I knew how busy it was, I was travelling alone by bicycle, and I absolutely knew by then that I would plan to go back in 2020, with my wife, and we would wander and enjoy Kyoto together ... and you all know how that turned out. Thanks for helping keep the dream alive - my future itinerary involves a LOT more of Kyushu and Shikoku than if my original plans worked out.
The first minute in and it makes me want to be there already, the scenery and buildings are so beautiful and i really hope i learn some Japanese and visit Kyoto and Tokyo someday!
'Sup pigeon. 😲💜 Speechless. So many great memories/choices I can't pick a favorite place. While I know it's late or early hours being part of it, seeing Japan so empty has my heart aching. Both with how the current state has affected everyone, but also with extreme longing to be able to see it so empty as well. As always, thank you for bringing us along. The month was a supreme joy.
I like the Uniqlo ultra light jackets, I got one for my toddler! It's really nice because it's not as restrictive as the heavy-duty stuff, and most days you don't need a giant parka anyway.
They definitely had the bags of gravel when I was there last for the snow fest in 2019, and given you were there at the same time, you must have just not noticed them!
This is a great compilation video. I'm going to check out the videos for the live streams I missed. Sorry you attempt at a live stream of the store on Sunday didn't work out but this definitely makes up for it. 😊
A greate look back to the live streams. This and they all brought forth great memories to my Japan trips. I so want to go back, haven't been to Kokura yet. Sounds interesting.
Always watched your videos and never commented so far. I love your content! These videos are purely amazing! Thank you so much for making them!!!!!! I've never been to Japan, but I do want to go someday and your videos are a great inspiration (together with Mr Broad's and Toky Creative's and the community of friends' of course). Thank you for your great work and please keep posting!

Thanks for the heads-up on the livestream. Got my alarm set!
Anxiously waiting for the stream!
Keep safe Norm!🌠
That crazy plank bridge was weird to watch on stream. I just kept thinking about somebody breaking an ankle on it.
Osaka will always have my heart. I am so grateful that I have begun to love places and people that I have yet to meet through these videos.
Thank you!
It's an epic month really!! Thank you Mr. Norm, for showing us all this! 🙏❤❤
Best Christmas present everrrr! Can’t wait to fill my crane game with little toys😽
Awww you spelled my name!!
I never got to see it in action! I cant wait to see how it runs!!
glad you liked it!
You should definitely fill it with cat treats and have Maro learn to use it. 🐱😂
Can't imagine Kyoto going into bankruptcy, its so sad and I was only there for half a day. Also quite amazing just how fast it can happen after having nonstop tourists for the past several decades at least

I laughed much harder at this than I initially expected lol
@@TokyoLens I was one thunderstorm and a sword battle away from a dramatic fight scene
Everytime I watch your videos made in this style, I just get these overwhelming emotions I haven’t felt anywhere else, it’s unexplainable, like a sadness that I can’t be there to experience it in person, but an immense joy that it exists, you just put everything together so elegantly.

chris made a vid of my visit? lol
missed that haha
@@TokyoLens Oh shit I'm trippin', just realized that stream was on the Tokyo Lens channel! omg
It’s so sad to see Kyoto and Osaka so quiet, but also hauntingly beautiful. Enjoyed this video a lot! 😄
Really more about the timing I went than anything else haha
This video was a visual feast, and I appreciate how much editing it must have taken to cobble together all the trips!! Nice to see all these places again, as well as some friends like the guitar guy in Fukuoka. Plus we got a mini review of hotel rooms around Japan! Nice work, Norm.
Thank you so much for making it all possible!!
This was such a cool little wrap up of all the livestreams. I miss Japan so much. Once this plague is over, I’m coming for a month. ❤️
twas oddly hectic to shoot, but very worth it!
Thank you so much for being there for all of it!
@@TokyoLens thank you for making it ❤️
Definitely a month!
7:53 One of the things I like the best about Norm is that he pronounces names and places properly and not "englishly" like Chris tends to do.
Fingers crossed that Japan opens up this year! My future itinerary only hits Sendai of these cities, but maybe one day, after I hit other countries I want to visit, I will explore the southwest more. Until then, there's your videos!

More to come!
Please I want to see please please
Please help me
What a fun little Santa you are lol. Nice to see this quiet winter video where you wrap up the year with friends and bringing smiles to everyone
There are no other words except for captivating and mesmerizing. Every area, every feature….the time you take to share your journeys with us is deeply appreciated
Kokura is gorgeous. You love the dichotomy/juxtaposition of modern/historical city/nature like I do. Such a wonderful thing.
I know I say it under most of your videos mate but your bgm choices are top notch, so much better than most TH-camrs out there. It gives depth to your videos
With the exception of Sapporo, you pretty much replicated our last itinerary in 2019-2020! We loved Kokura so much and stayed right in Kokura Station. Your stream from there made me cry.

Osaka was our favourite city when we visited, such a cool place.
It's sad to hear that Kyoto is struggling financially. So many places that relied on Tourism are going through similar, and it's just...so sad.
Even worse is how much the banking cartel is depleting from Japan in the form of "financial aid" turned into never ending debt. Japan even more in the hole than america is per GDP. USA debt is highest, but so is our GDP.
So great! Thanks Norm! I loved when you visited Sharla!

I’m so happy to see a shot of the Kokura Japanese pickle shop sign made it into the video. 😍🏯🥒💖

Oooh that looks like the start of your pilot adventures! The joy of you opening your Christmas gift was perfect for this Christmas Eve afternoon.

awesome! thanks~
Lovely Video, amazing Vidiographie, 20 minutes of pure joyment.Nothing more to add.
06:45 OMG these plane shots are insanely beautiful!
So many places! And so, so many beautiful shots!

Your takes on places manage to capture the big picture not just the minutiae of being there, thats a gift :)
Always love watching your adventures as you travel to different parts of japan, Keep it up!
Loved to see Osaka at night without almost anyone there. Thank you Norm!
Amazing cinematography! As always your content is fantastic.
Keep up the inspirational work truly wishing you the best
Gonna have to call Fukuoka my favourite part of this video. The colours have so much potential for content. And the cuisine in that town...
I love how amenable to walking the cities are, and the paving, all so perfectly level.
Awesome vid, cool to be able to get a little behind the scenes glimpse. Keep up the great work!!
Loved this video, as all those livestreams. Thank you Norm, for letting us enjoy Japan from the distance!
Glad you were able to enjoy it all!

We love you, too Norm! Happy New Year and I can’t wait for all the juicy content coming this year 🎉💜
Thanks so much!!
I miss Japan 😔 Ready to come spend money and support the place I love when they open up.
What a beautiful and fantastic wrap up! So many gems. Thank you!!
The dual Cessnas looked very cool.
the planes were crazy!!
Thanks so much eh!
That was EPIC! Defintly what I needed today!!! What an adventure it has been! I am so glad to be part of it (even if its just from a viewing stand point)
Norms video's and edits just make me smile.
Nice wrap up of all the excellent walking tours. Lucky you can still get about and see the place. Fingers crossed we’re getting a bit more back to normal.
I love Osaka and the people there.
Been Japan multi times as a Hong Konger, in a covid days when travelling is not as feasible as it used to be, you shown us the different vibe of Japan where we easily would miss. Yes it is the normal, beautiful details from the daily lives. Thank you, great video.
Thank you, today was a tough day and your video made it much better!
I was surprised that I had actually caught 2/3 of your live streams. The collage of steams was wonderfully done! I hope your having a good 2022. Be safe my friend 🤘😋
Can't believe I missed this video. I'm planning on taking a month's leave from work when Japan opens up so I can do some serious traveling in Japan. Nice to see someone else had the same idea.
Always impressed with your camerawork and amazing shots!!
Each city has their own charm. I love it
glad you can enjoy it!
Simply a breath taking short video
Empty Kyoto and Osaka are perfect for content. I cannot imagine how crowded it will be these upcoming months now that there are no restrictions.
I was lucky to catch some of those streams live but for many I had to watch the archives (I still haven't watched some yet but will do soon). They're pretty great! As pretty and peaceful as they look without people, I do hope things go back to normal cause they also feel lonely to look at empty. Also, the threat to people's livelihood is also worrying. I do hope better things happen this year.
Thank you for all the wonderful videos and stream! I'm excited for the stuff that'll come out this year!
Beautifully done. Thank you have a wonderful year.
Bit late to the party but loved this video Norm! Hope you're having a fantastic start to 2022.
Osaka is where my mom lived! I never thought I would see it with my two eyes!
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you as always for the amazing content!
The castles and temples are so cool looking, I can't wait to check them out in person. Hopefully with my friend who really deserves a once in a lifetime vacation like this.
I loooove Kokura too. Especially the upside down monorail and a little path with some nice trees next to the river. Unfortunately the castle was closed the day I was there, but I have a photo from that exact favourite spot of yours, for the same reasons you like it!
Beautiful trip! I love this montage so much
I didn't notice the first time I watched, but you definitely used the nice paper for Sharla, and the cheap gift paper for Chris. Funny! I really want to check out Kokura. It looks like such a nice place!
When you spoke about the "no diving" sign in Osaka, my mind was filled with a voice and the voice was shouting ”平成、ありがとう！”.
I'll definitely be checking out the end of year adventure playlist! Thanks for sharing!
An amazing summary of your recent adventures plus more, you capture everything beautifully 💜
Also, awesome T-shirt at 6:06 🤩
Thank you so much for taking us on all of your adventures Norm! Looking forward to all the new ones in 2022 so I can live vicarriously through you until I can visit myself!! Much love from Idaho US!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you Norm for another amazing video. Happy New Year to you too
Great video! And heartwarming too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Nice video. Very nice vlog adventure. Keep up the good work.
Great video Norm. I can recall all the livestreams you’ve done at these cities as they showed up in the video!
I was there in April 2021. It was extremely quiet even in Gion. I took photos in top spots without anyone nearby. I was happy to come back to Tokyo as I can remember because I miss the vibrant and lively city so much. At that time, Tokyo was quiet too.
Oh how much I miss Japan and Fukuoka. Lived there in 2013-2014. Miss those yatais too
Its like virtual travel lookin this video. Love it ! Hope can goin to japan for travel soon. Miss japan so badly.
ayyy fukuoka and kitaq represent! i truly love living in fukuoka prefecture, you managed to capture why in just a few minutes of screentime!
I first found your channel because I was searching up videos of Kyoto with the hopes of staying there come April, and it is so so saddening to hear that it might go bankrupt. Thank you for documenting this so we can live vicariously through you.
It's a really pretty castle, I can see why you'd fanboy over it. That's definitely somewhere I want to see someday.
Funny (?) story. I avoided Kyoto on my first (and so far only) trip to Japan in 2107 - because I knew how busy it was, I was travelling alone by bicycle, and I absolutely knew by then that I would plan to go back in 2020, with my wife, and we would wander and enjoy Kyoto together ... and you all know how that turned out.
Thanks for helping keep the dream alive - my future itinerary involves a LOT more of Kyushu and Shikoku than if my original plans worked out.
The first minute in and it makes me want to be there already, the scenery and buildings are so beautiful and i really hope i learn some Japanese and visit Kyoto and Tokyo someday!
i have central vac in my hosue but it was never finished, lol. seeing y'all opening gifts made me tear up a little, so much happiness
Amazing video, what a way to end the year for you!

I have never seen Dotonbori so empty and dark. I've always thought it was like Times Square - all brightly-lit and buzzing with activity.
This is a great compilation video. I'm going to check out the videos for the live streams I missed. Sorry you attempt at a live stream of the store on Sunday didn't work out but this definitely makes up for it. 😊
What a lovely tour of Japan. Thank you
A greate look back to the live streams.
This and they all brought forth great memories to my Japan trips. I so want to go back, haven't been to Kokura yet. Sounds interesting.
Always watched your videos and never commented so far. I love your content! These videos are purely amazing! Thank you so much for making them!!!!!!

morning!
I miss Japan so much. Thanks for this recap video that make me miss this beautiful country more and more 😁👍
