The well preserved house from around 27:15 might be the staging area for the students. The shinto shrine in that room might be for praying for safety of the workers.

Hey lens, do a lot of people still live in these villages? Sorry lots of questions.. can one just stay at the school? Does one have to tell anyone or is it just.. come in and chill?

Can someone tell me whats the name of the village? I found it so peaceful. Want to look into it. Hope someone can give me answers.

The houses looked abandoned.

Wow! so beautiful. Subscribed!! きれい。すばらし

It has been really amazing to see all these travels you're doing, your energy and the energy of the places you go are beautiful, thank you for making these videos

what is the name of the village? i want to search more about it, im so interested

Nice place a

Nah 😂

See one obake in one house

You ditched that stick too soon

Fort Warden State Park, Washington, is one of my favorite places to visit. It looks a lot like this place. Lots of trails and bunkers. I've lost count of the times I've turned down a trail just to see where it went, and ended up somewhere beautiful. Thank you for this trip!

Awesome video. I really like the view of that little town. I just stumbled across your channel. Looking for places in Japan to go because I will be there in February. That looks like a very awesome place. Which town is this and what part of Japan is it located in? So I can put this on my list of places to go. I know I will be visiting Mount Fuji and Tokyo, but I like to explore things that are away from the city and do you know of many foreigners from other countries that are living in these small villages?

Dude could read me a story or a book on this beach and I'd fall asleep ASAP such a calming voice

You need to camp overnight so you can explore it properly.

i love it - it's like a Ghibli movie

inhabited..... :)

Honestly that place has some Final Fantasy vibes (exploring canalisations etc.). Great video!

Are you holding this camera with your left hand our is it on your person somehow? Also this is amazing.

Don’t you think that abandon school would make a very cool hotel if it was renovated inside 😊

First of all, Great Video love the scenery and commentary. I would realy love to explore this Place as well therefore my question is where you Rent the Camper or if you know a better way to stay for a Night on a low Budget (i consider Camping as a Option) Thanks in regard

So many things that could have been repurposed. It is such a tremendous waste to have just left everything there. That piano could have been sold or given to someone. The children's drawings could have been taking by parents. It's just so strange seeing all those objects that might still have value just left to wither.

magical places, i can feel the breeze and scent of the places... end of statement. cause I'll talk way too much, cause I love these places

always always always fascinating, man I love these explorations hope I do in real soon. great videos <3

Where can one stay in mogemo

What an awesome place! Also I find it extremely funny how a lil Japanese mostly abandoned island(I saw a vegetable garden that seemed well kept near the pier🤔) has more direction signs than my city 😂

Thanks for streaming from Wakayama ken. I'm sorry I missed the live. Some of my family is from there and am fortunate to have visited the area once (briefly!)

29:48 the woven wicker thingys are pillows

National electrical product are old, can't buy such a product in my country(Malaysia) anymore. i still have a half working National fan in my room 😅

Loved this one, the start is amazing but the waterfall area even better!

I cannot express how much gratitude I have for you taking the time to make these amazing videos and the love and passion you put in each and everyone of them. In my language we say "Danki" (Thank you)🙏🏼👍🏼Greetings from Aruba.

Yet another gem from you, Norm. I get a zen-like experience walking with you through this video🙏 Shangri Lah-esk scenery - Heavens, I like the japanese sense of detail creating this place, amazing!

Awesome video as always Norm. This villa was so spectacular views are amazing could definitely see myself enjoying a cup of coffee ☕️ watching the beautiful sunset 🌅.

I’d love to live there in a small community in a traditional house.

Because you talk about coffee, I'd like to recommend two channels. Morgan Drinks Coffee and James Hoffman are both championship baristas who talk about how to make great coffee. Both are worth checking out IMO.

I saw a game that has been modeled after this school, that weird vr game where you gotta lick stuff that i stumbled on on rookie sideloader

This place is awesome. If i had the capital, i would want to live and re-build this place..

Honestly a lot of your video's are being added to my To Do list when me and my partner eventually visit Japan! Just gotta decide if we save to visit Japan or buy 3000 bags of cookies, the cost is very similar lol

ghost city

I always wonder what makes people leave such personal items as family photos behind. If I had to leave my village, I'd be taking my stuff. I would absolutely explore places like that, but in the daylight at first. I get the heebe jeebies really easily.

I love exploring abandoned places and yes, would really like to see you go back to this spot and find folks to talk to and its history. There is such a nostalgic sadness to places like this. You can imagine the children walking to school together or playing in the yards, women cooking over the stoves, men chopping wood or tending a garden. I really wish someone would come in and completely fix up this entire village to its original condition and open it up as a place for tourist to come and experience old, historical Japan. Tourist dollars could then keep the village in good shape and alive again. Maybe you can give someone that idea there and get them to run with it!! Awesome video as usual!!

21st century content, presented as a slideshow with 24 slides per second. How is it possible not to film at 60fps, in 2024? 24 fps is despicable, and sick-making on a large and modern, 144Hz monitor. Only 60fps videos are acceptable: 2K and 4K are unwatchable at 24fps. Try it yourself! You've been lied to: 1080p60 is far superior to any higher resolution with a low framerate.

Beautiful drive, beautiful walk around the dam. Made me want to explore.

This is only the second video I’ve watched. wow this is such a beautiful area, absolutely stunning. What a treat as currently in hospital. Felt the need to comment as you walk and get excited for the littlest things just like me and my daughters. I was really admiring two oaks we came across a week or so ago, because they were just so picture perfect. And were extremely pleased about a new to us beetle (mint beetle). So just wanted to say thanks for giving me a walk exactly as I like. 😊

Norm: "This is breath taking." Me: "You're breath taking!" Keanu Reaves: "YOU'RE breath taking!"

Norm, amazing video dude, you definitely should come to Portugal to explore the country side!

Lovely wet wall

Where is it exactly on the island?

Hooray to the young people who are attempting to restore this village. May your dreams come true…❤️
