- Today we are hiking out to a shrine that I almost didnt think I would be able to find. A hidden shrine tucked in to the forest mountains of endor... er... Japan. This shrine is said to be hidden and a challenge to find even among Japanese~

What do you think? Should we do more hiking adventures? Let me know in the comments below!
This is the next installment of our 2021 Summer Road Trip! (Full playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLPKBXMFV99z0XyusYZe-_ymrjgxOVj-2v.html )
Leave some love below!! And I will see you all again... Real Soon~
Definitely more hiking if you want to
This was AMAZING! Thank goodness you didn't fall. But I bet some of the slips hurt a wee bit. Love this area you were in!! Can't wait until the next one!! Thank you always for letting us explore (always) with you!!
Absolutely, especially for the fall colours later this year!
More hiking adventures would be great! As a side note, the water channel you ran across is for a hydroelectric power plant a bit downriver, I think.
I think the location is really beautiful and amazing, and needs to be in 12K! Especially that waterfall! Maybe you could borrowed the Blackmagic URSA 12K again and redo the hike? 😂
I used to hike but I'm a wheelchair user these days so I'm not able to travel like I once did. These videos help a lot with my craving to get out.
@Ellie Smithy, same, I have chronic pain problems and use a cane; hiking isn't really realistic so living vicariously through Norm and Victor/frameoftravel works for me! Hope you are well 💜
I'm in the same boat as you @Ellie Smithy. I broke my neck I'm 2006 and these videos help scratch the itch for adventure.
Omg...that’s horrible guys and girls::/ very sad
@@2007Club i'm sure you mean well, but I for one don't think my life is "horrible"; it just is what it is. It certainly could be easier, I even wish it was, but the universe has other plans. As it is, I try to enjoy adventures on my scope and scale, and the internet lets me enjoy along with Norm for things that I wouldn't be doing otherwise!
Be well~
Same here. I sure do miss having a working body that would get me to the places my heart and soul still want to go.
Only just recently started hiking. The trip that I still hope to take one day includes hiking around Koyasan and the Kumano Kodo, the walk between Tsumago and Megome, Kurama to Kifune in Kyoto, and hiking around Nikko. So I've got plans. Which might happen someday.
I love hiking. Its funny because growing up in Canada where hiking trails are easily accessible I took for granted how easy it was to get on hiking trails. I am realizing as I get older how much I love planning vacations abroad with some time for hiking.
Thank you for taking the time to stream this hike, I live in Scotland and live very close to the Cairngorms but major mental health issues prevent me from hiking these days. This was like soup for the soul. Thank you bud. 👑
I know the feeling. We travel the world from our chair and so enjoy it.
Such a pretty spot, the water was nice and blue where that guy was fishing. Yes to more hiking videos please ^_^
More hiking adventures yes!
I love the outdoors explore videos. I used to love just trying to get lost out in the woods. It's really hard to do that after I broke my neck. Your videos always give me a sense of fun exploring in nature. I appreciate all of your videos no matter what type of video it is. So keep up the great work.
Yes please! More hiking videos! Love the scenery! This was beautiful and fun, thank you!
I love hiking. I vote for doing more hiking videos. I also think they take as long as they take. The "longer" ones are not boring. They are just as fun as the half hour ones. I love the scenery of Japan. That is one of the reasons why I love to hike. Thanks for showing us this!
I absolutely love hiking. I grew up in Appalachia in the US so mountains and hiking were just part of everyday life. And yes pls more hiking videos!
Hi. I’m currently quarantined because of covid. I first watched your hiking vlogs weeks ago. And now I currently watching it and it really helped ease the stress of being in quarantine. I love and miss Japan so much. Thank you for your japan video. ❤️ 😇🙏
Yes please, more hiking videos! I love hiking (granted I've only done so in the northeast US), and I love seeing trails like this in Japan's beautiful mountains. I also really appreciate your tips about how to research hiking locations and how to plan ahead for safety etc - as someone who doesn't read or speak Japanese, it makes adventures like these seem more attainable and less intimidating
Such a great video🌈
More hiking videos would be awesome
such a gorgeous spot, I would love to go hike that someday! thank you for introducing it to us.
Your videos make me want to travel to Japan even more! I feel like (at least as a westerner) that I see a lot about Tokyo and Kyoto but not much about the Japanese country side. So beautiful!
We definitley need more hiking videos, this was a lot of fun.
Visca Barca, Bro!
more hiking adventures, love them. trees, rocks, waterfalls, moss......all of it
The “only YOU can prevent forest fires” really reminded me how often they used to play that bear-mountie ads on tv and in school! Canada has had some weird public service ads😂
Am not much of a hiker but whenever I get the opportunity to go for a simple walk elsewhere its just calming to see the sights and since you mentioned Takao-san I’ve been there quite a few times well obviously just to check the Shrines and went to Chichibu one time too 😊 Loved those places and I can’t wait to go back, i Miss Japan 😁
Yes, we want more😆
I’ll have to go to sleep but thank you so much for the great video!
I really loved it😊 and I’m looking forward to Tokyo walks😄 good night, Norm!
Hiking is an amazing thing, I have hiked many mountains in Europe, some swamps in Florida and I made it my life goal to make it to Japan and explore as much as I possibly can, looks gorgeous anywhere you go.
Great video. When I lived under a mountain on the lower b.c. border ... I hiked every week or rode my horse. My favorite place to hike would be the north cascades because I grew up there and no I never hiked Mt. Baker yet ...
We did some hiking in Ireland when we went and really enjoyed it. And I share your frustration with GoPro! I went over the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge in N Ireland and lost all my footage when the gopro overheated and froze. And I'm scared of heights so it took a lot for me to go over the bridge in the first place!
Would've never guessed this type of videos would be so relaxing.. for some reason it feels very immersive. Quality stuff as always
As a city dweller who NEVER hike before, I love all the footage but the woods look intimidating
This was very healing! Thanks for recording your hike :D
I love how vibrant the colors are in these forest shrines. I now want to explore some of the waterfalls near me.
UPDATE !! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING !
Thanks for showing live
This was a great stream. Really feel like you are there. More hiking videos please. Great to have you finding these amazing places and sharing them with all of us!! Cheers.
Thank you so much for this, especially your comments and your amusement. Beautiful hike.
Love it all, good thing we didn’t see the bugs on camera lol
This is gorgeous!! I watched this relaxing video while sewing a shopping bag using traditional Japanese fabric. More please!
Beautiful Norm
Totally awesome hike!
Love to hike and see new places!
I love myself a good gorge. I also love a good trail through the woods. This hike is a win win for me. Thank you Norm for these out of place locations that most of us, even those who have visit Japan multiple times, may not be able to experience.
Lovely video! I love hiking! All my family did. And there is a saying I n Bulgaria that "the fresh air makes you hungry", as people tend to get more hungry in the nature and aldo the food somehow tastes better. 😃🌞❤🍀🏔🌲🌻⛰️🏖🏕🗻🏞🌌
amazing walk to the forest trail, very relaxing hiking you sharing with us, enjoy it a lot! thank you!👍
I'm not really a hiker but it's one of those things I've always wanted to do but I haven't because I have not had someone to go with. So, knowing it was a risk to go out into the woods alone, I just haven't hiked actual trails. I used to trek all over the 40 acres we used to own behind my old childhood home. Anywho, looking forward to more hiking content if you so choose to make it. The hidden forest shine with the bonus surprise campsite, that was really cool.
That was amazing and beautiful! You should totally do more hiking adventures.
I'm a fairly keen hiker. I've done 2 hikes in Japan. First was going from Kawaguchico to the Fifth Station on Mt Fuji. Up hill all the way, obviously, but enjoyable. The second was doing Mt Misen on Miyajima, Hiroshima. That was a great hike, too.
Beautiful. Thank you for taking us there.
Tea house? You’re going to show that at some point right? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video of a tea house. At least not from the Japan Quad squad (you, Sharla, Chris, & Ryotoro). Did I miss it? Seriously though, I love watching watching your videos. So relaxing. And I could listen to you talk for days.
Sound quality was very good, even next to waterfalls!
Was out for the last quarter of the premiere coz my bro called from NJ. Will rewatch in 4k later. As always, love following the chat in the sideline while watching. Such a lovely community. More hiking videos please!
Love all the small bridges.
Sorry I'm late again. I love the bridge at the beginning. Pretty waterfall too!
What an amazing video Norm.
Thanks as always for sharing these refreshing adventures.
Nice a hiking video. Yes every time I've been to Japan I've tried to include at least one hike, relaxing and beautiful.
If you want suggestions, there is one hike I would like to do when it is possible again to travel to Japan:
Start from Hozukyo station (near Kyoto), which in itself is an amazing place especially being just outside of Arashiyama, then follow along the river in north-eastern direction, then follow the path along the Kiyotaki river towards Takao (Kyoto). There should be lots of interesting bits along the path, including the natural scenery, Kiyotaki village, a waterfall on a branch path, etc. But I haven't don this one yet so I'm not 100% sure about all of this.
The other suggestion I have is start at Daiyuzan Saijoji temple, in itself quite pretty and often overlooked by tourists I think, and then hike up Myojingatake (Hakone). Along the way you get some interesting views, and an abandoned ropeway. Depending on the route you take, you end up at Gora station (Hakone) or nearby. This one is about 12km though, so maybe a bit much for your average videos (unless you edit it down).
Yes, do more hiking video's please. I had a great one once in Kamakura, trying to find the shrine dedicated to money and I got a bit lost. Good times...
that forest is so beautiful, I wish we had forests like that here in the UK, the river is amazing as well 😍
This video was great! I love seeing nature walks. Keep making more of these type of videos. ⛰🥾
Yes! More Abandoned villages exploration. Would love to see more.
That waterfall (I assume the White-Water Ryuujin referred to it) was really nice.
Our favourite izakaya in Ueno had its name auto-translated by Google Translate to read "Hiking Pachi B", so that is our favourite Japanese hiking spot 👍
I know I'm a bit late in the game here (and in finding your channels), but I love the hiking videos. I have mobility issues now adays. I miss hiking so love these videos.
Thanks for the hiking advice and recommendation.
As a beginner hiker. I like to hike in September or October. The autumn season is a better climate for hike in my opinion 😁
Yay for another day on which you didn't die ^^;
These waterfalls are awesome, thanks for taking us with you!
P.S.: today I walked down a path where other people came along just one minute ago. Aaaand I ran into a spiderweb, laughed, and thought of you :D seriously though, how fast are these guys in building a new web?!
Very nice forest.
I am german hiking is in my blood :P please do more of these!
Hopefully moving to Japan in a few months and planning to check out some of these spots you keep finding. Looks so beautiful.
I do a lot of hiking here in California and I haven’t been to Japan yet, but I was hoping to do the Kumano kodo trail in Japan at some point! Would be cool to see some hiking in that area
Yes, please on more hiking adventures. I do hike. I do much better on more level trails, and have to really take my time on rapid elevation gain trails. Haven't hiked Japan, but one of my favorites here in Colorado is the Old Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. This was absolutely stunning.
This area is beautiful! When I finally do get to Japan, I really want to hit up a trail (between yours and Quinlan's videos). I think Mount Le Conte in the Smoky Mountains has been one of my favorite hikes yet.
You definitely need to open the Side Bar! How amazing. It will be my first stop Everytime I come to Japan
13:32 some serious Shugendo / Yamabushi vibes in this place.
amazing! That 4k blows my mind
I love hiking! My favourite spots are located in Tatra mountains in Poland, really beautiful places 😃 more hiking would be appreciated 😋
The water looks so clean and clear. Are you able (or willing) to swim in the stream and pools? We're the barrels for collecting water? And please continue to explore. You are able to get to areas that most of us will never get to see unless you do it.
waiting... is gonna be at 3:30am in NZ
I miss japan. I stuck in my country cuz of covid for almost 2 years now 😂😂 thanks for video.
I actually hiked this morning in a waterfall trail in Koh phangan and thought about your videos, since there is sth about Asian forests, I think. I love it. I hope to go hike in Japan one day. I'm French but I live in the Canary Islands, I recommend it to you if you like hiking : laurasilva forest called Anaga or the ravines of lava tongues from the volcano 'barranco' or even the peak of the Teide volcano, the beaches with cliffs... Have fun
Can't make it to premiere, have a great time though.
Well done, enjoyed every Minute.
Thanks for NOT using Background-Music🐣
I'm not a experienced Hiker so maybe I heard it wrong: To chase away bears, to avoid them, you can use a little bell?
Greetings from Hamburg
me and my husband have hiked a lot. we prefer pretty spots. we've done Yellowstone, Yosemite, Zion, mount Charleston, red rock canyon-(that's more of a walk)olympic national park, and zakopane in Poland. I live foresty areas like this video though. all the little spiders are fascinating😍I can't wait to hike in Japan!!
Wow, another spectacular walk. "Every day, trying not to die" Funny, but please be careful.
Finally have some time to catch up with the video 😃. As someone who like to do some hiking in my holiday (before the pandemic though 😂), I really enjoy this hiking video! Would like to see some more in the future and hopefully able to do some hiking myself once my country lift the lockdown restriction! Anyway great video as always 👍
This is amazing.
that was a fantastic trip!!! I love to go on the occasional hike here in Australia, but there is a very small window of a few months before it's either too hot or too wet/cold to do it. My baby is due in the next few weeks, so can't wait to take her hiking in a chest harness in Spring!
This hiking area looks lovely, except for the bugs lol. I've done a few hikes whilst in japan - my favourite by far was Yakushima!
Little bunker you found there is where ghost normally hides (shinrei spot)
Not a hiker, but I once walked through a trail in Kamikochi, Nagano Prefecture. It was just a trail from the ryokan area to the lake and it was amazing. I believe there were proper mountain hiking trails there as well. I'd love to do a proper hike in the future tho.
Thanks for video!
Really enjoying the hiking videos! I had a passing interest in doing something similar here in BC, but got busy and didn't pick it up again. >< Really need to work on sticking to goals even when I'm busy and the things I'm making aren't great yet.
If/When you come back To NC, We can try and find some hiking spots! I am down for a Hike!
Great Job!❤
This is grand! Thank you for giving us this hike, it reminds me so much of the coniferous forests in Mexico. Are there any forests like this that have mountain biking trails in Japan? And yes, more hiking adventures would be fantastic!
Pretty amazing hike and quite a cardio run lol. Wish I could find places like this where I am! Also I’m definitely gonna have to shed some pounds (I’m 100 kg) and get my health under control. No sugar. No bread. No carbs.
Hi Tokyo Lens, would you like to explore the cemetery of Japan's first emperor?
My family and I go hiking to a few creeks and waterfalls inTN but we haven’t been during covid. Snakes freak me out though. We have copperheads, water moccasins, and rattle snakes here. We do have bears too and mountain lions but we are more worried about snakes than mammals hiking in this area
Suasana hutan yang sangat menarik dan menyenangkan
i would like to go hiking, and travel around the world( i mean like Japan, and the country where all candy is there😂) can't stop dreaming
I love to get out for a walk or hike but I don't like going alone and none of my friends like walking lol
I really like this style of content Norm. The live streams are really good too but I feel like you are sacrificing a lot of visual quality that way due to the stream limitations. It would be nice if you can live stream and film in 4k, for later, at the same time.
Like 100 checking in!
Anyone else notice the black pipe along the trail running down the mountain? I wonder what it's for. I'm thinking maybe they are piping mountain spring water into a village further down?
Such fun hiking along with you. Show some spiders sometimes? The house centipedes aren't harmful to people; they are beneficial. Are bears etc truly a problem? Monkeys wouldn't be fun, but pepper spray maybe? How have you learned Japanese? Thank you!!
This is the best Norm!! Really wish to go out and explore now! Hope if you able to get a glimpse of Kamikochi next time.
The scenery just amazing! Would love to visit places like this~ I have no experience in hiking yet (there are no mountains in my country😅), but I really want to climb at least a small mountain when I come to Japan 🗻
