Inside an Abandoned Hotel on a Volcano
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- In the south of Japan there is an active volcano that is home to over 2,000 people. And it is here that we find an abandoned luxury hotel. Once the absolute pinnacle of Japanese hotels, this place has long since gone abandoned, and today, we take a look inside!

ruclips.net/p/PLtflILeTBlX-KlzfudsxpbhWeJF1Jgv0i
Would LOVE to explore this place
💯 Totally would explore. Even more so than the one at Suwako, I think 🤔
Yesss!
Oh my goodness, I can’t wait to see the patreon video on this 💜
I'd totally explore this place and I'm SO curious as to what was left in the lockers!
I was Shocked to realize this is the same hotel I visited in December 2011. You said it went bankrupt in 2012, so it's possible. I saw it in your previous Sakurajima-video, but I just couldn't believe that it went out of business and fell into disrepair so fast. Shocking! And very sad to me. This place and the seaside Onsen that was actually a Shrine at the same time so you had to wear robes in the Onsen (to respect the spirits I guess), is one of the most magical and special places I ever visited in Japan. Wish I could send you some photos. Wanted to go back there. Actually visited Sakurajima in 2015 and was trying to go back there but we failed to get transportation. This might be the reason why, because the people knew it was shut down.
It was first when the drone footage showed the Onsen area by the sea I could determine that this was in fact the same place. Just can't believe that a place can deteriorate and fall into disrepair so fast. It's only ten years since I visited there. So strange.
Is this Furusato Kanko hotel? We were here there in 2009 for part of our honeymoon trip. The bath by the sea was amazing. I heard they went bankrupt years ago. This is sad to watch. 😢
Hi! Yes I believe that was the name. It was a very unique onsen hotel. Sad to see it in such a state.
Crazy to see how quickly nature reclaims areas abandoned by humans!
I've heard it said that after about 2 years of no maintenance, dirt will accumulate and plants will find a spot to start moving in. It's pretty amazing.
Isn't it strange that 40 years empty Pripyat looks not much worse inside?
Having worked a number of years at a beach front business that only operates half the year, I am not surprised at the quick decay of this place.
The ocean breeze carries salt water, which quickly rusts metal, causes wood to swell, Stucco to crack exc exc. Most interior construction and furniture aren't made to withstand direct exposure to the environment so floorboards will much more quickly rot.
Glad that you returned to the Abandoned Hotel. PS love the new camera angles that you put on high places to show us the scale of the place when you explore it. But it also kind of the good creepy as if someone is watching you from far away :D
i kept expecting something to jump out like a creepy found footage film 💀
I love your abandon building exploration vids 😄, finally another one 👍🏼
Glad you like them!
I love abandoned spaces. There's nothing like this in the video where I'm from, but there are hundreds of abandoned towns from the 1800s where I live, most of which were mining towns of some sort. Walking through them is like walking through history and since few people ever give them a second thought, those who do explore them do so alone unless they brought others with them. The isolation of both being alone and being in a place that is abandoned creates an extremely surreal experience which is simply euphoric in the most bizarre way. One of the reasons I want to go to Japan is because there are incredible opportunities to explore abandoned places like this here. Absolutely beautiful.
A return to both sakurajima and abandoned exploration? Fun! Always fun to return to something you didn't get the chance to do last time.
not to mention the secret behind the scenes vid coming on Patreon from this day!
the day got WILDLY out of hand after this lol
Love the iron work in the stairwell there 🥰 and the security camera like footage on point 👌
rewatching now!
@@TokyoLens oh you know I will be 😀😉
This gives me some serious Proper People video vibes. Honestly, if and when the world finally opens up, it'd be awesome to see a collab between you and them, exploring some of Japan's abandoned buildings.
I was watching a lot of travel videos during the pandemic. Mark Wiens, Strictly Dumpling, etc. But I'm a little worried that the new generations of tourism are focusing more on what the views will look on their IG or Tiktok content. And not get fully immersed in the culture, people, and beauty of a place.
I like watching them too.
The exploration of abandoned sites you do are always some of my favorites. I love witnessing the reclamation of nature back from human occupation. The active decay and juxtaposition of hard lines and drab colors offset by the teeming chaos of nature let loose. Not to mention the contrast of dark and light. Gives plenty of opportunities for some great shots. On top of that your narrative is always worth listening to. Nothing disparaging or negative, just wonder and pleasure of exploring.
I like the CCTV cuts, nice little touch that lends itself toward the creepy and somewhat surreal. Plays up the feeling of being watched I get sometimes when I explore some of the old steel mills and abandoned coal towns where I'm from.
Yeah the cctv-looking cuts are really awesome
Can't believe how much effort you always put into these types of videos, it seems like so much work filming on your own out there. Appreciate the additional camera POVs. What I always wondered was - do you ever get spooked exploring these places by yourself? Feel like I could never be brave enough myself!
Your videos are always amazing, they always make me excited and happy 😊 keep up the good work !! 👏
💫💫
Your abandoned places videos are absolutely amazing!!!🤩
All my excitement to go and explore an abandoned building disappeared when you made me remember about spiders in these kind of places, but hey, I have your videos to get a pretty close experience, right? Great video!
I love how you shot a bunch of the scenes like it was a security camera very cool aesthetic
I always find it crazy, seeing vehicles zip by so close to a vacant building with this much decay. I can’t believe this level of gutting and decay for just 10 years of neglect. Thank you for capturing all of this - I don’t see a way I’d get out there and see any of the abandoned properties or villages you’ve walked through. It’s been neat watching your videos - it sort of helps the COVID-era wanderlust for sure!
Such fitting music, gives the same kind of feeling as spirited away.
I can only imagine the atmosphere of these abandoned places. These reclaimed areas have a certain beauty to them.
It's always amazing to abandoned places, how nature takes over and how things deteriorate. I love the security camera style footage: I imagine you running around setting up camera and then running out of frame just to get those great shots!
I love these abandoned building videos! I’m definitely living vicariously through you with these because spiders are a big nope for me.
I always love the adventure of walking around abandoned places. The wonder of life frozen in time.
Abandoned buildings always have something magical about them. They're sad and oddly beautiful at the same time. Thank you for bringing us along to the exploration of this building - and for making the video so enjoyable to watch. Your commentary and the music just added soo much mood to the experience. ♥
Also: your "What's up dude?...Awww :(" At the end was too cute XD
Notification squad let's go! Always looking forward to a new story each week.
More to come!
Thank you`
Good morning! Thank you for continuing to risk bodily harm in exploring these interesting places. We're always excited to see the 🔔 and enjoy this great content from the safety of our couch! Stay safe out there, eh
Thanks always eh!!
It always feels so relaxing watching your exploration videos after signing off work, it fills me with hope that I can someday experience the adventure that I haven't had the chance to do yet. Also, how do you do the ceiling perspective camera angle?
Oooh, I’m so happy to see a chair just chillin!!
You documented this building so well, I love seeing abandoned buildings, and it’s nice to see a lot of graffiti here. Also, I love the plant feature on the upper floor 💜
So much abandoned stuff in Japan that nature reclaims. Interesting stuff for sure!
The music very much reflects how these types of videos make me feel.
Love the CCTV style shots mixed in - well done Norm.
Great video! Looks like a great place to explore and take pictures!
I just saw your videos 3 days ago.. and they're so beautiful cause it's been my dream to travel in Japan, which I couldn't do, so your videos makes me feel like I'm there... 🥰
Welcome!!
@@TokyoLens binge watching your videos after work for 3 days now lol
Its cool to see how a abandoned building looks after many years of sitting there. You can just imagen how busy and nice it would of been just from the layout. These types of videos showing old buildings are always interesting to watch. Keep up the great work. Love the videos.
Thanks for bringing us such amazing and unique views!
Feels surreal watching this video. Looks like a apocalyptic movie... Been an adventure watching u go through there !
As a photographer myself and a lover of abandoned buildings, these are my favorite kind of videos! Thank you for the continuous amazing quality. Regards from Portugal!
The music and ambience gave me spirited away vibes
#Notification Squad
Excited to watch this after work.
Hope life has been good Norm!
best squad ever!
doing great Donald! How've you been?
Whoa, this place really gave that nostalgic sad vibes a place that used to be crowded with people now empty and abandoned really makes you reflect on life that nothing is forever, awesome video as always hope you makes more this type of video.
Even now the site is quite scenic. It must have been very beautiful in its day. Lucky you for getting to explore it.
Seems like pretty cool place to explore and camp with friends unless it's haunted at night 🌉... really missed your exploring video thanks a lot for coming back ❤️❤️
I love buildings that get reclaimed by nature like this one.. you get a very post-apocalyptic vibe here.
Hey Norm just a thank you for the awesome and amazing videos. It has been my life long dream to visit Japan since I was a child but hasn't happened yet but watching your videos is like I'm there. Also thank you for showing the world the kindness and the way a Canadian really is it makes me proud the way you represent Canada, I'm from Cape Breton. Plus your videos also speak to people with meaning and heartfelt ideas and the way all humans should conduct themselves. I have binged watched all videos from both your channels. Please keep up the great work and your messages about follow your dreams and don't worry about what others think has stuck with me and now I journal my life in small videos for myself since your video with Victor that you made that message. Thanks again.
I love urban exploration. It's always so mysterious and interesting what's inside theses places but what really shocks me it's the amount of things that are left behind everytime. It makes everything even more haunting. Great video!
Places like these are beautiful, creepy and sad at the same time. It's fascinating to think about all the things that might have happened there, all the memories such a place holds. But also incredibly sad that such a once beautiful place has been completely abandoned, slowly being reclaimed by nature.
This place really has something scary on it but one the same time it seems very peacfull and beautifull with the nature taking back everything.
I remember walking in an old abandoned Soviet hospital in my hometown. It's been abandoned for around 15 years. And to be honest I feel like walking around abandoned buildings is fine and safe, as long as u don't step on wooden stuff. I remember I almost fell through an old wooden floor, because it was rotten
The music is peaceful. Thank you for your quality content!!
Very cool. I love seeing abandoned places. Would’ve been nice to see in all its glory.
Came back to watch this one, it is just so cool. So grateful for all the adventures you take us on
I love your videos!!!!!!!! Always accompany me every day...
So cool... I love getting to live urban exploring in Japan through your videos
Yess! Was looking forward to seeing more of this!😁
glad I was able to make it back!
Seeing the abandoned buildings like this is exciting, eerie, and kind of peaceful at the same time. The shots in these videos always remind me of the documentary "Life After People"
Great cinematography, Norm!
When i was a kid, my brother and I used to love exploring abandoned buildings in our city. this brings back memories
Wow, even abandoned, the beauty of Japan just let you see over that. Truly amazing.
Wow!!! Keep doing your good works. Its bursting out of the seams.
Thank you! Will do!
I love watching people explore abandoned places, so this video really intrigued me from the title. I feel like each building has a story to tell, with remnants of the memories left behind. The amount of plates was very cool to see in the huge pile! I do feel sad to see when people graffiti the walls. Thank you for such a detailed video. 🙂
How cool. I missed the abandoned paces videos ❤️
More to come!
You know, I think I had really been missing these abandoned videos. It feels weird to say something from last year feels nostalgic but this taking me back to the joy your videos gave me back in spring and summer of 21.
Love the camera work in this video, especially the 3rd person shots.
I love all of the deep exploration videos Norm! Thanks so much
so glad to see more abandoned building exploration, because i really loved the abandoned love hotel you explored almost a year ago.
Love video about abandoned place. love see how the land and earth take it all back in the end x
Oh I love the way you filmed this one!! Those angles with the "security" like camera's were freaking EPIC! No spiders! Ew! Huntsmen spiders are so big and creepy! I have explored a few abandon buildings and a split trailer. This brings back those memories.
Man that looks like so much fun to explore and photograph. Awesome camera work too especially that opening drone shot!
Amazing work on this video, the music sets the atmosphere and makes it feel like a video game, almost like breath of the wild or a Ghibli movie like spirited away.
Yay new norm video to watch while I clean ^.^ this security cam footage seriously adding to the eeriness- I appreciate the extra work to set up all these shots
This is so cool! Glad you went back to film this abandoned hotel.
Major Last of Us vibes with the building and the music blending together so well. Great video as always bud!
I Like This Topic About Abandoned Places In Japan
I Love All Your Vids Mr. Norm
I love all of these abandoned places you go to because you just know there's some history or an interesting story involved. Seeing the dinnerware left behind would be like a small goldmine for me.
It's like if you stand still for long enough, you can envision how the hotel used to bustling with activity and life.
My daughter is the same way and loves abandoned places and exploring them like I always have so I'm definitely sharing this video and your videos on the abandoned villages as well, she'll freak when she sees these places!
You never fail to surprise or educate with your content. 🤘😃🤘
Always fun to see exploration videos. It's the thing I miss the most about living in Japan.
Love the third person "security" footage. Reminds me of old resident evil-like games.
That CCTV Camera angle gives more eeriness to the video!! Bravo! did you go alone? it give the SOMEONE IS WATCHING YOU FROM THE DARK VIBES!
Will there be a spooky video like this for this years spooky season? Just love your cinematography and how you portray things in your videos, it has really inspired me to take videos and photos myself.
Love the "security camera" footage you put in of yourself walking around the ruins. ^^ Super nice touch.
Great video! really interesting and entertaining to watch, amazing camera work. Really sad to see how much stories have happened here in the past, a lot of memories.
I was offered a job, many years ago, to manage the organic kitchen gardens for a luxury hotel/health retreat on an active volcano. Sadly it was demolished by an eruption around 2005(? methinx) ... This was near Karuizawa/Nagano ... Also near Hachinohe Aomori there is a huge abandoned luxury Onsen Sentaa , still there but you can’t tell how beautiful the gardens were at one time - Was still in good shape when I lived there. Another great video Norm❣️
Halloween binge watch almost done! I feel like this is just a more laid back video with some beatiful scenary, even if the backstory behind it and most establishments in Sakurajima island aren't that nice to hear. Shoutout to the lil' lizard, he was also part of the journey right there.
Awesome job bro .
Just got home and this on notification thanks norm and stay safe
Dude loving the security-camera style shots! It's an absolute shame that place had to close. Looks amazing.
Yesss, Mr. Norm's at it again! 🔥
And I remember that hotel, from the stream, spending time on that roof looked so awesome!
These shots take me back somewhat to Belvedere, Dubrovik in Croatia.. amazing hotel right by the sea, on the cliffs with the most gorgeous view. But it was busier. People had even put electricity, a fridge + music back in a building right down by the sea. ^^
Man, I really love these exploratory videos of yours and the fact that you talk to the camera so much about it all. Feels like I'm really there with you! :D Love this channel so much.
I'm getting "Resident Evil: The Norm Files" vibes from this video 😁 There's always a quiet sadness in exploring places like this. This is what it would be like if we were to vanish, things like this would be our legacy for some other explorers or visitors to visit. Thanks as always Norm!
The way you switched from the 1st and 3rd person shots gave me horror movie vibes. That and the way they were edited, it made it extra spooky.
wow, what a lace to be able to explore, it's so cool that it's situated so close to a volcano as well. Awesome video !😁
Love your "Lost places" kind of vids! Caught this one in time :-) Glad to see more of Sakurajima as well!
Hey this kind of videos are great. Personally I would love to see more of them :)
OMG!! I lived in Kagoshima when I first arrived in Japan and visited that place many times. EVen took my parents there when they were over :) Sad to see it :) The outdoor bath was amazing. You could have a little swim in the sea then dive back into the bath :)
Gahhh jealous!!
Would have loved to have been able to stay there~
I love the "security" footage camera angles! Your video editing and production always looks so good!!! Loved this one and ready for the next!!!
This would have been a beautiful hotel to stay at! Especially with a 🌋 nearby! And Sakurajima is a beautiful Stratovolcano. It's actually my favorite 🌋 in Japan.
That was a neat video. Thank you Norm. I have always enjoyed going into places like this to just explore. Glad that you made it out safely.
Very informative...
And now i am addictid to your video..👍👍
Love the video Norm! Looking forward to the rest of it on Patreon. 😁 P.s. love the spirited away style background music.
Something about this kind of videos makes me feel an inexplicable sense of anguish mixed with amazement and ¿Hope? It's amazing thinking that you, Norm, can transmit all of that with footage of an abandoned building.
Thank you for everything you do. I hope I can achieve my dreams just as you are achieving yours.
Good luck on everything and always keep moving forward.
Cheers to you and everything that's to come.
Three cheers for the Notification Squad~~ Love the "CCTV" style scenes haha~~ how do you even do that??
It is amazing but sad at the same time that these exist...testament to the power of mother nature..
Why did they stack up the cups, bowls, dishes & shells anyways?
That place gives me the creeps though...you've got nerves of steel, daring to go in there alone...the chair in the middle of the room is crazy creepy....
It is a surprise though that the rooms are stripped off of all furnishings...no beds, tables, chairs...
Thanks for the amazing tour. Have always loved your "abandoned place" explorations so please keep it up~!!
Hell yeah, youtube finally gives me something good! Love your exploration videos!
what a beautiful scenery, id love to go shoot some pictures there, so much background to take photos
