Ghibli in Real Life - Exploring a decaying Japanese town!

[@alexanderaleksander4272]

I don't know why there are so few views and comments here, but I am absolutely delighted with the video and the place. I never thought I could mark such an unknown destination as worth visiting, but it's a must-see for a long trip to Japan!

It's only been out a couple hours, so I'll allow the low view count 😉 But happy for your support! Definitely check it out if you happen to be close.

Brilliant video Norbi! Very interesting and wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing! Looks like you could spend days there and take hundreds of photos!

[@NorbiWhitney]

Thanks! Indeed I shot a lot, but I also held back at moments to save film for later… in hindsight I should have shot more, and just bought more film at the next shop.

Really cool place, messy and inspirational, I loved the water reflection pics a lot!

[@NorbiWhitney]

Thanks dude. The “golden” reflection is maybe my favourite of the day!

What a great location. Nice music and editing!

[@NorbiWhitney]

Hey thanks Phil! It really was a great place to explore - glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for sharing some of your sunshine sir!

I thought it was abandoned! But seeing the footwear’s and other signs of life from your images made me think otherwise

[@NorbiWhitney]

It’s surprising but it’s a normal functioning town (I bought some very nice sake there!), just very haphazardly built and kind of falling apart.
