[@TokyoLens]

IT'S THAT CREEPY TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!!! - Would YOU Explore this place alone? Let me know below!! Here's our whole seasonal playlist of CREEPY JAPAN vids! kzbin.info/aero/PLtflILeTBlX8JKUIFj-TVzsNF00P03L6H

[@FieraMyst]

So many abandoned cocktail table arcade cabinets, kinda sad to see that, even if they weren't anything more than gambling related games installed in them.

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

I wouldn't go alone, but I'd go with a group of people I trust.

[@usamaepekonis]

I don't know how you are able to go on these adventures alone, this is literally the setup for many horror movies. Keep up the good work, stay safe

[@TokyoLens]

this one was definitely a little spookier than others~

[@twestgard2]

With just a little tweaking, each such episode could be remade into a horror movie.

[@_eNoxious_]

Haha true! But Norm is a big guy, and a jolly Canadian originally. There's gotta be a strong aura of caffeinated serenity protecting him.

[@RiotCl0s818]

Gotta remember that movies are different than reality 🤷‍♂️

[@greghelton4668]

I dunno. Seems like it’ll be a lot of fun to watch, you know, ghouls doing you know what.

[@thewitchsbook22]

thats not just dust in the air.. THATS MOLD! Keep safe in places like this, youre too good a content creator to lose.

[@TokyoLens]

Yeah that was a little too much mold lol

[@Conor-df9vc]

This place looks like its been abandoned for years and years thats crazy that its only been a year!! Thanks for the tour its awesome!!

[@TokyoLens]

wild how bad things can get in a single year with these abandoned buildings~

[@FPSNecromancerBob]

@@TokyoLens Someone trashed the old arcade machines looking for money I would bet, the coin/token mechanism has been broken out of the ones you showed.

[@With_Me_JAPAN]

Can’t believe it is for sale! The old photos really freak me out😱Awesome music selections as always and thank you for being brave to get in and showing us this interesting premises!

[@TokyoLens]

Crazy Right? Glad you enjoyed the music selection!! I always have fun with that~

[@sw-gs]

I would better gtfo of that room in his place.

[@AndroydFM]

I always overestimate the time between these buildings being abandoned and you filming. I guessed low today, "It's gotta be abandoned like 10 years ago". Imagine my surprise when you said a single year. It's insane how quickly things go to ruin.

[@demoneyedcam]

Coffee, Tokyo lens, Norms shenanigan's, good start to the day.

[@TokyoLens]

You've got good taste! lol

[@NathanBenedict45]

The room with the elevated bed and the forest wallpaper was definitely the highlight. Looks like something from a backrooms game.

[@TokyoLens]

Hard not to agree with that!

[@YTCookieNinja]

In Japan right now, got to check out a ton of cool places thanks to your videos!

[@TokyoLens]

WOOOOO!!! Welcome and I hope you're having an amazing time! THANK YOU!!

[@YTCookieNinja]

@TokyoLens Thank you haha, looking to do a 2am bike around the city before I go after watching one of your recent videos

[@adaligogh4049]

I jut got back from Japan 2 days ago and got to check out a lot of cool places thanks to his videos!

[@Theorof]

Seems like this place was probably in bad disrepair before it was finally abandoned. Water getting in means a high chance of structural problems.

[@TokyoLens]

yeah.... it was not in great shape~

[@melissat9702]

This video is stressing me out! Feels like a scary movie, waiting for the jump scare 😮

[@TokyoLens]

legit felt like that just being there~

[@RiotCl0s818]

The door was the jump scare lol

[@lesliehardeman6212]

Well in that case... BOO! 😂

[@NaseruTheCleric]

with all the abandoned place you explore, you might want to invest into a respirator. you lungs will thank you in your 60's

[@SirRawThunderMan]

Thanks Norm. This time last year, I went to Japan, and i've been feeling a bit sad at how fast time has flown and nostalgic from the memories. Up close footage of giant spiders and crickets was just what I needed to stop thinking fondly of Japan 😅

[@akita2061]

You’ve really outdone yourself, this has to be the creepiest by far. So much trash but some treasures too and many a story behind abandoned personal items. Thank you for taking us on a very spooky visit. Stay safe Norm!

[@frankzajac3158]

Nice to see another exploration video. I wasn't expecting this, but seeing you get a little grossed out and even a little worried was funny. Thanks for the hard work, Norm.

[@TokyoLens]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@frankzajac3158]

@@TokyoLens Norm, I enjoy all of your videos. I've been watching you for years. You always do something different, it never gets dull, and I appreciate that so much!

[@jesternario]

Those spiders are Joro Spiders. They're the yellow jacket equivalent to writing spiders: Look similar to their friendlier counterpart, are meaner, and more venomous, and in general are just jerks. They also can't write webs worth a damn.

[@hollykingham]

That was crazy….huge asking price for it. Great video.

[@TokyoLens]

dirt cheap really..... especially for that much land!

[@williamgeorge2580]

The only time I tried my hand at urbex in Japan it was an old house surrounded by trees that was half collapsed into the local river. I got halfway to the door when a dog started barking at me. Then I saw laundry on the line. Someone was still living there! I backed out of there like Homer through the hedge.

[@Stormcrow89]

Not going to lie, this place actually gave me chills which isn’t very easy for me, I love spooky things and places. I’m so glad you take safety precautions in places like this. Too often people explore and end up injured because of poor structural integrity. You did great with finding this creepy place! Loved seeing all the old stuff, but the vibe was….weird, and not in a nice way. Can’t wait to see more!

[@matthewc9806]

16:24 Bro that's not a cricket that's a shinto spirit

[@TokyoLens]

lol that explains all the wise advice he shared with me

[@MiddleAgedSwedeGoesForAWalk]

I'm always surprised at how much stuff is left behind in places like this. I can understand that larger stuff might be difficult to move but to not even bring along memories like photos and trophies?

[@ScooterinAB]

I suspect a lot of it is from dumping. Locals may not have wanted to pay for garbage removal on some of this stuff, so just dumped it here to get rid of it.

[@Guy-uy5gc]

Seeing all of the photos on the bed was definitely creepy . Not knowing who brought them and why .

[@TokyoLens]

yeah that definitely was....odddd

[@cheriestl]

I’d be so afraid of the building falling in on me. Thanks for the adventure!

[@yeeisme]

I’m wrapping up a con in Vegas but I absolutely enjoyed these during the pandemic. Thanks Norm for the content to watch on the flight back!

[@hidden_origin_dnb]

8:47 i honestly love these traditional themed rooms, they look so cozy.

[@TokyoLens]

might have been cozy at one point! lol

[@mutatedsilverunicorn]

This feels like it's straight out of Fatal Frame. Love it! 💜

[@stelioshz]

From abandoned village houses, to abandoned love hotels. What a follow up hahaha Hope you are doing great, Norm! Greetings from Greece!

[@TokyoLens]

the only way to be!

[@SPISheste]

I used to go "old-building-snooping" (as my buddy and I gracefully named it) and we ended up getting some nasty pre-asthma attacks because of mold and spores - watch yourself out there my guy

[@Gearfeathers]

Woohoo! Love an exploration video.

[@TokyoLens]

me toooooo

[@tinymontgomerykitchen2334]

This one made me so anxious! I had to keep reminding myself that Norm edited and posted it so he must be okay.😂

[@gwynnmccallan8856]

Me too!!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

One of your creepiest abandoned places you've visited (and there have been more than a few). Thank you for taking us on these adventures but always stay safe my friend! Greetings from Aruba, Dutch Caribbean.

[@Del-Lebo]

Wow Norm! What an explore! I love abandoned property exploration SO much! Well done sir!!!!

[@Marianne-F]

Love this kind of exploration. It gives me the last of us feel, without it actually being the game. Japan style! 😅

[@deviantash]

Your videos never disappoint, man. I do love seeing these abandoned places. The left behind arcade cabinets hurt my soul.

[@JoelMuddlestone]

I absolutely love the variety of your channel. I especially like the abandoned and ghost sites explorations.

[@girlwithtiger5233]

Wow. I don't understand how it managed to get into this condition. Like, all the trash on the floor, especially in the office. You'd have to go in and toss all the stuff, create havoc. That seems like so much effort. Thank you for the tour, Norm!

[@TokyoLens]

people: Japan has this image of this perfect place but the reality is, there are just as many people who loot, smash, and destroy here it's not quite the level that you would see in other countries but people still take their chances!

[@ScooterinAB]

I suspect a lot of this was dumped here. Another comment suggested that the place might have already been in a lot of disrepair. Plus there's the "broken window effect," where disrepair brings more disrepair because people just think it must be fine to do.

[@xXCrimsonWolfXx752]

That Huntsman was already pointed at you as you walked in like "Go ahead, enter my nest, human."

[@sevillescamillelouise7400]

Been watching you for a year now and it made me want to really visit Japan and now I’m finally finally going to Tokyo next month! Can’t wait to explore Tokyo soon!

[@muzzammel4601]

feels like a place you dont want to explore alone especially at night. seem like the weather really speed up the decaying process if it was abandon recent years

[@RYN988]

the Panasonic snide remark is next level

[@Owen-xe6yi]

Waking up to a Tokyo lens video makes my day

[@TheBrodeurnj30]

I love videos like this where abandoned places are explored. But the anxious part of me worries about inhaling the dust in the air, things like hanta virus, etc. Be safe!

[@apathetk]

$40k is pretty steep for the building, but for the land it sits on, it's not too bad. But... since that price doesn't include all the costs of tearing the place down, clearing the land, and constructing a new place, it's definitely way too much.

[@ErikSEK]

"Oh I'd like to explore this" *sees the ton of spiders* "OK, Nevermind" Wouldn't be a fun adventure with my arachnophobia, especially that huntsman in the basement.

[@kungfool69]

Absolutely wild stuff! Thanks for the tour

[@fluidityyy]

"Explore a creepy abandoned love hotel" added to my bucket list

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

I wanna see a visit of one of these places edited like one of those home presentation shows, with sparkles, some dream filtres and nice music lol

[@shannondore]

I loved your choice of music for this one. A nighttime walk would have been creepy but also more dangerous for you. I'm glad you showed it in the daytime it's already creepy even in the daytime. The pile of photos on the bed was weird, and were there peep holes in that creepy corridor?😬

[@Ilyasssov1]

À great exploration video again, thanks norm!! This actually made my day

[@ninjaman1751]

Abandoned buildings are so creepy but so cool! Watching people explore them is a fascination of mine

[@kieribama]

This place was insane! Good thing you did come during the day. There is no telling what you would run into at night, especially by yourself. T is was a pretty cool explore overall though.

[@SmilingQuokka]

Wild to think this plave was only abandoned for a year! You'd think it was more like 10 years to look at it. Its fascinating, and i wonder whete all the photos came from. Would love to see more abandoned places like this, but please remember a mask and be safe, my friend. All that dust and potential mold in the air was concerning.

[@HorridCrow]

Wow, caught this right on time. It's gloomy, misty and raining where I live, so let's go on a scary adventure with Norm!

[@TokyoLens]

enjoy!!

[@chelseacarpenter2302]

"stained glass window for the torture bath" 😂😂😂 I'm dead! 💀 Much love from Arizona

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

Those Joro spiders are huge omg! Such a fascinating adventure. I love watching these abandoned tours.

[@briank8679]

I think what's more impressive is that it was operating until a year ago. That place had to have been pretty gross!

[@DanielandYuka]

Last of Us and Silent Hill creepy vibes - check! -this place was awesome! ¥5,800,000 real estate going for cheap - the renovation costs and cleaning costs would make this quite difficult to sell though! Thanks for sharing this!

[@kclefthanded427]

When there's a poster of wanted criminals in a Love Hotel, somethings up. Spooky

[@TokyoLens]

there's allllllways wanted posters in cheap hotels in Japan

[@MSmith-Photography]

Abandoned vibe? Perfect for the couple that need total privacy. 🤣

[@Grimlock-ry8fg]

Thanks for such a delightfully spooky video!

[@alexb.1320]

Flashback to 50/60/early 70's N.A. bathroom decor, quite the color palette in those bathrooms. Hard to believe that is as new as the 81. Guess one doesn't appreciate how damp/humid/wet Japan can be.

[@Fluffy-v9p]

This looks like a fun time! I do love a good spooky video for spooktober!

[@0therun1t21]

There are outrageously beautiful/sleazy abandoned 70s love hotels in the Poconos that I saw in the back of magazines and dreamed of visiting when I grew up. Seeing them abandoned actually made me cry. Red heart shaped jacuzxies and chrome spytnik lamps all rotting with beautiful mountain views all around. Someone should at least save those lamps!

[@PileofKyle]

@5:08 bathroom has such liminal space vibes

[@elkevera]

No way would I set foot into this hell hole, brrrr.....the size of these critters, you are a very courageous man Norm! Now call the tear down crew and have it flattened. Who is going to buy such a dump? Also, it looks like it was abandoned 10 years ago not just 1. The decay is overwhelming. Thanks for the video Norm!

[@solitaire10]

Despite the condition of the rooms I can't ignore the fact that for Japan these rooms are huge.

[@theophanie416]

Love the flashlight lit parts! gives Silent Hill feels... Stay safe while exploring.

[@jeshanrai6790]

Was eagerly waiting for videos🎉🎉

[@TokyoLens]

been new videos almost every single week lately!! plenty to catch up on! Thank you!

[@steveburley3738]

What an amazing journey through a dark area in Japan. Definitely a darker time for this area. Would make for a great scary video game.

[@becks5867]

That 70s bin was spectacular! 💜

[@F_arr]

That reminds me of my childhood, there was an abandoned multi-storey building in the village, we used to go in there as children... it looked very similar, i'm always interested in the history behind something like that, who lived and worked there, etc. Thanks for the video, make more, especially for Halloween. Greetings from Germany

[@nesswabbit]

the panasonic sass was unexpected and very funny.

[@TokyoLens]

lol panasonic sass is always deserved though!!

[@Blorboy]

The abandoned trophies and pictures in an abandoned building feel like DG's lore from Lookism

[@lifewithmochi]

Man I love these adventures!! The pictures and trophy’s part was super creepy!! When I was staying in Hiroshima there were some shops that sold Trader Joe’s bags, the reusable ones, and some places used the paper bags as their own bags, even at Don Q. But at the end of the day who really knows haha it’s super wild either way.

[@gwynnmccallan8856]

I don't know which would scare me more...the amount of mold, all the huge spiders, the fear of falling through the floor, or the dread that there will be a dead body behind one of those closed doors. Creepiest place yet.

[@springbay1]

It's incredible how much love can fade in just one year 😅

[@leepree8959]

This was definitely creepy but fascinating. Thanks for sharing. As an Aussie I was expecting the huntsman to be bigger. 😂

[@xllvr]

It's very interesting the concept of a drivethrough love hotel. The fact that it was abandoned a year ago and looks like *this* though, is wild. Hopefully no one's used it for anything occult in the meanwhile. And no I wouldn't; you have way more courage around these things than I ever would have

[@TokyoLens]

just wild that it got into this state soooo quickly

[@maui8084]

That was super creepy. I do hope you have someone that checks in on you..if in the event anything weird happens. 😮

[@mohebbi71]

I love the idea of a love hotel themed around "whoever loses at street fighter is bottom / sleeps on the wet patch" the presence of those arcade machines makes me laugh;)

[@LaineeeTravels]

Love the creepy abandoned places! I mean, I'd never be brave enough to explore them myself, but I'm glad you are brave on our behalf lol

[@TokyoLens]

was honestly a little creepy to explore this one alone~

[@LaineeeTravels]

@@TokyoLens Yeah, this one is definitely giving off horror movie vibes

[@mantailuaa]

That was Creepy! I hate big spiders, would not go in there. Some of the rooms were nice when they were new but now, not so much.

[@peterfox242]

"Closed for one year"... what sort of state was it in a year ago? When was the last paying customer. The photos seemed sad, someone's formative years and they've decided to leave them behind.

[@stofbug]

Everybody’s talking about the creepiness, but I just kept expecting the cute dust bunnies from Totoro 😊

[@sluggyyarvin]

I am wondering the condition of the building before it was abandoned. That seems like a lot of deterioration for a single year. I am wondering if it was a business on its last legs before the landslide and subsequent abandonment.

[@TokyoLens]

you and me, both!

[@warpath9916]

Mate you are sooooo brave

[@jpmeggiorini]

This video gave me the chills Norm! Don‘t know why but it totally creeped me out. And I‘m a 2m 120kg guy with martial arts experience 😂

[@shannawalton1076]

Love the stained glass though I want it as a portrait.😅

[@tanismarshall8501]

The roof must have been in bad shape when the building was abandoned for there to be so much water damage already.

[@JustPlainRob]

The giant spiders were definitely the best part of the property. Those spiders are harmless. You could grab a few and start your own Kumo Gassen. The only dangerous spider in Japan is the black widow (redback).

[@TokyoLens]

correct!!!

[@robinlech3044]

“The theme of our first room today is….storage”. That was hilarious!

[@blackberrybunny]

This was so much fun! Thank you so much for sharing this video. Going to check out your other channel and subscribe to it as well. I love Japan! I'm in Florida, USA..... and it is HOT here on November 13, 2024!

[@UKPtrk]

Absolutely crazy it was only abandoned a year ago. Given its condition I’d have guessed 10-15 years at least!

[@Whyarewehere53]

"Torture bath" 🤣🤣🤣
