When hiking in the woods like that, I recommend bringing along a hiking staff. Thumping it into the ground as you walk, gives critters notice that you are coming through, and they move out of the way. Many times I've hiked along thumping along with my staff then I would hear animals moving away from me as I went. I've seen bears, deer, raccoons, snakes, rabbits and many other critters moving away from where I was traveling.
At the risk of sounding ignorant and possibly doing a Gaijin Smash, what is the reason for not entering the shrine? I would have loved seeing it closer inside. Was it a safety thing or some kind of custom I'm not aware of?
Answering your question about which adventure felt best. From the abandoned series it will be abandoned school with tunel and a bridge, but from the total of your videos it is the hidden shrine of akihabara and rooftop series. I visited that same shrine this year. I also dragged my friends all over Inari shrine (not that they complained). Your channels are what helped me convince those friends that it is worth to venture away from the beaten, touristy path. Thank you for that :) Also, I am considering renting a camper next time. Do you think it is a good idea or is a camper to big for less traveled roads?
I appreciate you being respectful and thoughtful when visiting these places. Some of these homes look like the owners left without taking a thing with them. The black stain on the floor around 22 minutes made me recall something me and my wife saw a few years back when we went to an apartment showing. The house was cheap and needed renovations. In the bedroom was a dark stain on the floor where the previous owner had lied for days after a stroke. Perhaps this is not what happened here, but then again these abandoned villages are remote places and likely the last residents were old people.
I feel that the villagers that got that installed that rail system really tried to hardest they could to stay in that area as long as they could. Its so beautiful and can see the reason..thank you for sharing
The view from the last house makes me feel the longing that the people who used to live there must feel. Immagine waking up to that everyday and having to leave, knowing that you were the last person to love that house.
Ok, I didn't understand much of what you said since I don't speak English, but the view and the tranquility that this video gives is spectacular. I love it.😭😭😭
As Japanese,thanks for showing such an old place where we can't access so easily.I want you to show this movie to people who lived in this abandon vilvage before.I guess they really want to see how the village is going on.They might be no longer any more,but their children or grandchildren might be wanting to see their lifetree history.I really hope someone who connect to this village will find this movie😊
These sorts of abandoned village walk through videos are so enjoyable to watch! Seeing a village frozen in time, getting a glimpse at what life was like for a small area in the past. I'm always enthralled watching these. Keep up the fantastic work!
This for sure brightened my day. Thank you, Norm. I appreciate you doing these as someone who can't easily hike and wouldn't be able to see it all. Thank you so much! I loved these on both channels and this one is so beautiful. Thank you. I wish I could have seen this village in its heyday, but this was really pretty too. Thank you again so much.
This has to be one of the best videos I've seen of this genre in your channels or any other channels. The sheer steepness of all the inclines and, like you said, the effort if must have taken to bring in the materials, landscape the level areas and then build stuff in... it's insane. The shrine is awesome and hard to believe it's there. And the ingenuity of the mono-rail system and the pulley system. Also, that mono-rail system feels like it took real courage to ride up and down, the real rollercoaster feeling. That view at the end is just insanely gorgeous and beautiful. Excellent video, thanks for all the work!
Thanks Norm, was very interesting to see this! The monorail system they instaled is so awesome and shows how much life there was; almost luxurious to built that. This video made my day, again thanks! Have a nice one, greets from switzerland.
Awesome video, really relaxing! I love that you enable us to experience such a niche part of Japan and that you do it with respect. It's strange that one can feel such a connection to a country that I've never visited. Or maybe not so strange after all given all the JRPGs and anime that reaches far beyond the borders of the country. Keep up the good work!
Loved this video so much, Norm! And I actually thought about your point on the effort and work it took to build this stuff on the mountain when I was climbing Mt Misen a few days ago. To bring so much material up a mountain like that is just unbelievable!
The mind is a funny thing. I find myself holding my breath for your safety while knowing full well that you’re in the chat and beyond the scary bits. 😆 It’s been a mixed few months, but I am so grateful for these moments to reset and rest in Japan, via these videos. Thank you! Take care!
I'm so used to seeing Japan's cities, I forget it has beautiful natural areas too. Near the shrine was a building with something like little houses on the main building's porch. What is that? I can barely understand what it must have been like for the last person living there. I imagine they were old and had to have been absolutely haunted by decades of memories of life in that village. The silence must have made the loneliness an almost tangible presence.
This whole video gives me very mild vertigo. But it's worth it. You are cataloging and sharing this place, so it isn't lost forever. The climb down is what would absolutely ruin me mentally. Down is so much harder for me than up.
I love being able to go along on these walks with you as I'm unable to go myself. I miss even getting out in my city and just wandering through the woods. As a kid and up until college my best friend and I would spend a lot of time just walking around and hanging out. These walks remind me of that. Our city is also hilly af, so it was often a trek! One of my favorite videos was the one where you veered off and just walked down the trails in the woods. Everything was so lush and green. It reminded me of my few favorite places in the Blueridge Mountains in NC and VA.
An amazing place! Riding a "rollercoaster" to your home is certainly something that would've appealed to my younger self :) Though I can also understand that for practical reasons it might not be the most convenient place to live so I can understand why people would've moved out, even if it is a shame to see a place where people have lived for several centuries get abandoned.
Idk why I'm so late to videos these days, notifications letting me down. Thanks for the awesome vid again, Norm. Love when you go exploring, gets me all hyped and inspired.
Imagine living there back in the day and being the mailperson having to deliver to all those houses! Thank you Norm for being so respectful about the places you explore and encouraging others to do the same so folks can continue enjoying them in the future. These places may long be abandoned but if everyone isn't respectful the places won't around be much longer period because like you said the government will come in and make the problem go away.
This place is so beautiful 😍 I don't think I'd have the courage to go out and explore somewhere like this by myself, or even with someone else to be honest. Thank you Norm for sharing this town and the other abandoned places you've been to!
This village has definitely entered my top 5 favorite places that you’ve visited! I really enjoyed it, the views were so beautiful! Amazing that ppl lived there! That was their day in & day out. Thanks Norm for an incredible adventure!😁
Hi Norm!! I enjoy your videos so much, esp. the abandoned, seldom traveled ones. This village had the most awesome views. So beautiful !! If i had lived here it would have broken my heart to have to leave it. Thank you so much for giving us a chance to experience it with you !!
I'm so grateful for the fact you don't say the locations. I think it is so sad to hear how you go back and they have been defaced. Thank you for what you do Norm it's such a treasure. 😊
I love tunnels. Thanks for starting there and taking us along the path up the mountain. Spectacular views! What you found at the top of the mountain was stunning. I would love to see that area in person someday. Thanks, Norm, for showing us such beautiful places.⛩️❤😊
Fun times. The logistics of building and maintaining properties in areas like this actually kind of intrigues me (like the monorail trolley system). Makes you wonder how long that system kept the place going for just a little longer before eventually being abandoned like this.
This place is amazing, it's quite beautiful. We've had something similar here aswell, me and my friends would hang out at a few abandoned huts where they used to do some small farming for vegetables and such. It was preserved quite well and had some electricity due to a car battery and a solar panel. It stayed untouched (except for us hanging there, playing board games and such) for many years, until the land was bought out and levelled to make room for apartment complexes. It was sad to see our old memories vanish just like that.
Thanks for another fulfilling exploration video. It helps with the sadness of not being in Japan! Because of you I explored everywhere I went t there. Thank you Norm.
Yay, another abandoned village video! I love these videos cause they're interesting and exciting. It sucks that there are people ruining these places. I thought abandoned areas in Japan is more likely to be safe from such things cause from the stuff I heard before, it seems most people follow the rules of not doing anything bad in them. It's sad to know that's not the case. This abandoned village looks nice in the morning. Definitely looks like a place for adventure although it does look dangerous cause of the area itself. It would've been bad if there were dangerous people around too cause you can't just run away from them or you might fall somewhere. I'd love to see more abandoned places videos! They really are fun to watch.
So crazy to turn around and see the river from so much farther away at the end 😮 What a difficult hike that must have been! I love the rail system so much, I feel like it would have been terrifying to ride the first time or two 😂 Thanks for sharing these walks, Norm. I’m gonna use them to help force my brain into watching longform content again!
Thank you, Norm, for documenting this village, and the amazing low-tech engineering around 15:12. We have a little of this in the Maine woods, but not so clever, and mostly undocumented.
This looks like girl's village from "Your Name" anime on top of mountain. Beautiful experience for me. It must have been village where people enjoyed each others company, life was blooming there, all of sudden everything fades away and remaning stuff is memory of people how they must have lived there. Everything they build really required effort especially the pulley system. I can imaging children running around, people praying into those shrines, people spending time with each other. But now there is nothing. Sorry for my english. But I really wanted to share my feelings.
Thanks for the adventure. I love these walks. Wondered if anyone ever shares old home videos with you from when these villages were thriving. It would be really cool to see the trolly thing running. Maybe even kids playing on it.
Honestly would love to live there. Just imagining renovating one of the houses and making that place a dream hideout makes me smile. These special places are why i love japan and would like to visit and stay discovering all the hidden things hiding in the most beautiful forests.
This was mesmerizing and intriguing. My favorite abandoned village so far :-) I just love untouched or reclaimed nature -- dotted with subtle hints of civilization :-) .
This video and that view from the top of the village made my day. What a lovely location! So sad it’s all abandoned now. I would have loved to see that little cargo train in action.
that was a beautiful walk thanks Norm enjoyed very much. the shrine withe slippery stairs still my favourite and this one's my second. as you said it's a beautiful piece of history and Japan should be proud of. b safe take care Norm b happy 👍❤️😀
What a cool exploration, Norm - thanks for bringing us along for the ride. It's a pity people feel the need to go to these places and mess them up - the "leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories" ethic needs to be stronger.
What a spectacular place! I'd love to have seen the place in its heyday (which will take me down the next rabbit hole of looking for historic footage). Next time you go, you need to find out where that cable goes thats above the shrines. Must be more gems hidden.
Just imagine how it must have been to be the last person living there and leaving. The interior looks like its from the 1930s/50s/70s maybe also the 90s but i am not sure. So this is kind of a recently abandoned place. Really really interestring. And also the paper in the shrine looks not so old….maybe sometimes every 5 years there is someone looking at the shrine to keep the spirit calm. Who knows. And i can also agree on what the others already wrote, the rope system is really cool
Beautiful nature walk and interesting sights, Norm. The trolley was cool. Id have loved to see it in action in its hey day. But you're so brave; this one is one I could never do. I hate snakes!
My favorite place you went to was the place that had the chair with a fairly fresh blanket on it and drawing on the ceiling along with some fishing poles.
What an amazing place. You're inside a game. Would love to live in a place like that for the scenery and tranquility, but i bet it would be hard to adapt in the beginning because of the isolation
I would be so interested to learn how the rail has been mounted to the ground, since building anything onto a steep hill let alone a transportation system sounds like a complex task. Thank you for these exploration videos, Norm! I've been hooked since the pandemic :)
Makes me wonder what made them build right there. I can understand it being somewhat accessible during the summer, but with snow and ice the path must have given so many broken bones to the villagers.
The hike out to this town had my heart racing a bit... I was genuinely nervous this time
Would you have had a way to contact emergency services? Would they have come?
When hiking in the woods like that, I recommend bringing along a hiking staff. Thumping it into the ground as you walk, gives critters notice that you are coming through, and they move out of the way. Many times I've hiked along thumping along with my staff then I would hear animals moving away from me as I went. I've seen bears, deer, raccoons, snakes, rabbits and many other critters moving away from where I was traveling.
I would be too. I even probably would not have the courage to go alone. You are more courageous, because bears are really something to be afraid of.
At the risk of sounding ignorant and possibly doing a Gaijin Smash, what is the reason for not entering the shrine? I would have loved seeing it closer inside. Was it a safety thing or some kind of custom I'm not aware of?

Turbo Granny just Chilling in the tunnel
That's exactly what I thought too...😆
(For those who don't know, it's a reference to the 2021 "Dan Da Dan" manga & 2024 anime.)
Same thought exactly 😅
😂
I’ll give her my weenie
That village must have been so gorgeous when it was full of life. Sad that it faded away, but thank you for sharing it while being respectful.
This is the beginning of Spirited Away!!! 🫣
i noticed this too its spirited away for sure
I appreciate you being respectful and thoughtful when visiting these places. Some of these homes look like the owners left without taking a thing with them.

watching boats come and go
That view from the last house was breathtakingly beautiful. 😮
I was gonna say the same. Thinking that people or maybe even a family used to hangout there to enjoy the scenery makes me both happy and sad.
Ok, I didn't understand much of what you said since I don't speak English, but the view and the tranquility that this video gives is spectacular. I love it.😭😭😭
I never realized how beautiful Japanese nature is
Lots of Yokais and bakemono in Japan.
The urge to live in the house at 44:00. Had the best view with the beautiful garden area. It's so amazing
As Japanese,thanks for showing such an old place where we can't access so easily.I want you to show this movie to people who lived in this abandon vilvage before.I guess they really want to see how the village is going on.They might be no longer any more,but their children or grandchildren might be wanting to see their lifetree history.I really hope someone who connect to this village will find this movie😊

this looks like my grandfathers village its so nostalgic
This for sure brightened my day. Thank you, Norm. I appreciate you doing these as someone who can't easily hike and wouldn't be able to see it all. Thank you so much! I loved these on both channels and this one is so beautiful. Thank you. I wish I could have seen this village in its heyday, but this was really pretty too. Thank you again so much.
Absolutely stunning scenery from that last house,Norm!
Love it!❤
That view was so amazing! Love all of the little shrines (altar). I'm thinking of making one in my garden so this one was an extra special walk!
This has to be one of the best videos I've seen of this genre in your channels or any other channels. The sheer steepness of all the inclines and, like you said, the effort if must have taken to bring in the materials, landscape the level areas and then build stuff in... it's insane.

Excellent video, thanks for all the work!
2:22 That's a 4th gen E70 ('79-'83) Toyota Corolla.
Thanks Norm, was very interesting to see this! The monorail system they instaled is so awesome and shows how much life there was; almost luxurious to built that. This video made my day, again thanks! Have a nice one, greets from switzerland.
That last view would be amazing to wake up too. What a magical place ❤
Awesome video, really relaxing! I love that you enable us to experience such a niche part of Japan and that you do it with respect.

Genuinely incredible to be able to see the inside of some of those houses... Thanks for sharing, Norm!
The mind is a funny thing. I find myself holding my breath for your safety while knowing full well that you’re in the chat and beyond the scary bits. 😆
It’s been a mixed few months, but I am so grateful for these moments to reset and rest in Japan, via these videos.

Wow, that was so cool. The views from the top at the very end were so beautiful. I loved that the shrines were intact. So cool.

I absolutely love these explore videos, Norm! Was just talking to a friend about your Nakasendo trail walks.
What a magical place, the views are absolutely breathtaking! Thanks for sharing it with us Norm.
This is such an incredibly beautiful location! Thank you for sharing this with us.
This whole video gives me very mild vertigo. But it's worth it. You are cataloging and sharing this place, so it isn't lost forever. The climb down is what would absolutely ruin me mentally. Down is so much harder for me than up.

This looks absolutely stunning. *waits impatiently for Sunday morning* 💜✌️🐦

He shouldn't have mentioned it was near a JR station it took practically 5 minutes to find lol
Thanks for the awesome video Norm, it just made my day SO much better!
I love tunnels. Thanks for starting there and taking us along the path up the mountain. Spectacular views!
What you found at the top of the mountain was stunning. I would love to see that area in person someday.
Thanks, Norm, for showing us such beautiful places.⛩️❤😊
Thank you for the content Norm! This is amazing content! Love Japan!
Fun times. The logistics of building and maintaining properties in areas like this actually kind of intrigues me (like the monorail trolley system). Makes you wonder how long that system kept the place going for just a little longer before eventually being abandoned like this.
I loved this one lots! Absolutely beautiful town and view and adventurous way up there! Thank you so much for sharing 💕
Have fun watching everyone ! Excited for the premiere :3
edit: what and amazing place! thank you for documenting places like this
This was gorgeous, but also a bit terrifying! I could feel your heart racing from the start of the video TBH
This place is amazing, it's quite beautiful. We've had something similar here aswell, me and my friends would hang out at a few abandoned huts where they used to do some small farming for vegetables and such.

Another Excellent episode ! thank You for showing Japan in depth ! 🧐
Thanks for another fulfilling exploration video. It helps with the sadness of not being in Japan! Because of you I explored everywhere I went t there. Thank you Norm.
Always a pleasure to be able to experince these places through you.
Right?!
Thanks again for providing these videos.. You save me a significant amount of time and money from checking out Japan for myself :)
Another magical video , nicely done. thanks for sharing .
I'm sad I missed the premier, but I'm here and thank you for sharing such beautiful areas. And that car is definitely chihiro's parent's car.
Yay, another abandoned village video! I love these videos cause they're interesting and exciting. It sucks that there are people ruining these places.

It would've been bad if there were dangerous people around too cause you can't just run away from them or you might fall somewhere. I'd love to see more abandoned places videos! They really are fun to watch.
It'd be interesting if any footage existed of that village when it was occupied, especially if that rail system was in use.
Yeah I'd love to see those little trains working, it really appeals to the child in me
So crazy to turn around and see the river from so much farther away at the end 😮 What a difficult hike that must have been! I love the rail system so much, I feel like it would have been terrifying to ride the first time or two 😂

Sorry for my english. But I really wanted to share my feelings.
Thanks for the adventure. I love these walks. Wondered if anyone ever shares old home videos with you from when these villages were thriving. It would be really cool to see the trolly thing running. Maybe even kids playing on it.
this is awesome man!! thanks for sharing
No problem!
I love your commentary
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Honestly would love to live there. Just imagining renovating one of the houses and making that place a dream hideout makes me smile. These special places are why i love japan and would like to visit and stay discovering all the hidden things hiding in the most beautiful forests.
This was mesmerizing and intriguing. My favorite abandoned village so far :-) I just love untouched or reclaimed nature -- dotted with subtle hints of civilization :-) .
Interesante video, gracias por llevarnos a lugares maravillosos...
This video and that view from the top of the village made my day. What a lovely location! So sad it’s all abandoned now. I would have loved to see that little cargo train in action.
that was a beautiful walk thanks Norm enjoyed very much. the shrine withe slippery stairs still my favourite and this one's my second. as you said it's a beautiful piece of history and Japan should be proud of. b safe take care Norm b happy 👍❤️😀
Wonderful walk, thanks for sharing the journey
These are some amazing locations you are able to track down!
Chihiro?! Is that you?!
What a cool exploration, Norm - thanks for bringing us along for the ride. It's a pity people feel the need to go to these places and mess them up - the "leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories" ethic needs to be stronger.
Would have loved to see a walkthrough of the entire tunnel!
Thanks for the video!
I needed to escape today :)
What a spectacular place! I'd love to have seen the place in its heyday (which will take me down the next rabbit hole of looking for historic footage).
Next time you go, you need to find out where that cable goes thats above the shrines. Must be more gems hidden.
Just imagine how it must have been to be the last person living there and leaving. The interior looks like its from the 1930s/50s/70s maybe also the 90s but i am not sure. So this is kind of a recently abandoned place. Really really interestring. And also the paper in the shrine looks not so old….maybe sometimes every 5 years there is someone looking at the shrine to keep the spirit calm. Who knows. And i can also agree on what the others already wrote, the rope system is really cool
A vivid imagination really helps one appreciate this
I'm ready for this!
Beautiful nature walk and interesting sights, Norm. The trolley was cool. Id have loved to see it in action in its hey day. But you're so brave; this one is one I could never do. I hate snakes!
Dude! It's that time of the year and you are a photographer! I need a Tokyo Lens calendar 2025!
Thank you for the lovely hike on such a beautiful day. I am a bit surprised they haven't removed that abandoned car.
My favorite place you went to was the place that had the chair with a fairly fresh blanket on it and drawing on the ceiling along with some fishing poles.
This video is gonna be SO COOL!!!
The places is so beautiful and breathtaking. I thank God for His beautiful creation.
Best kinds of videos
Spoiler: No Turbo Granny appear in the tunnel😅
dang it
What an amazing place. You're inside a game. Would love to live in a place like that for the scenery and tranquility, but i bet it would be hard to adapt in the beginning because of the isolation
so peaceful
I would be so interested to learn how the rail has been mounted to the ground, since building anything onto a steep hill let alone a transportation system sounds like a complex task. Thank you for these exploration videos, Norm! I've been hooked since the pandemic :)
Love your vids :)
what an absolutely gorgeous area.
Amazing abandoned place. Greetings from Poland.
This is one of the more interesting places I've seen
Makes me wonder what made them build right there. I can understand it being somewhat accessible during the summer, but with snow and ice the path must have given so many broken bones to the villagers.
Those paths and stairs would really really trigger my vertigo!😂
What a beautiful village!!!
Such a beautifull place
