The hike out to this town had my heart racing a bit... I was genuinely nervous this time

That view from the last house was breathtakingly beautiful. 😮

[TheGunnarRoxen]

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.

[mrmoki]

Genuinely incredible to be able to see the inside of some of those houses... Thanks for sharing, Norm!

[sarahramos]

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!

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!

[keitarotaru]

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!

[daisyrosario]

Absolutely stunning scenery from that last house, Norm!
Love it!❤

[jameslong]

This is the beginning of Spirited Away!!! 🫣

[cheyennemoore]

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.

I never realized how beautiful Japanese nature is

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.

[paulbrown]

What a magical place, the views are absolutely breathtaking! Thanks for sharing it with us Norm.

[Cinetyk]

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!

[janmccraw]

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 !!

[thepokekid]

This was gorgeous, but also a bit terrifying! I could feel your heart racing from the start of the video TBH

[joshuamstark]

I absolutely love these explore videos, Norm! Was just talking to a friend about your Nakasendo trail walks.

[marilynyoung]

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. 😊
