2022 IS HERE!! And we are going to hit it hard and make it a great year!! Who is up for some winter camping? **MAKE SURE ALL NOTIFICATIONS ARE ON FOR THIS YEAR!!** If you haven't yet, come and join the new Livestream Channel! RUclips.com/TokyoLensExplore Thank you so much to everyone who makes these adventures possible! You know they are for you! PS -- doing 15% off Yearly Patreon Memberships until the end of January 😉 see you all Real Soon!
I was the one who watched you fell down on the slippery street the other day when you were live-streaming on your second channel! And now which makes this video more fun to see how you were filming😁Hope you enjoyed the tour Lens!😆✨
I'm only in southern BC so the winters are... well, they're SUPPOSED to be mild. But 'winter and construction' did nearly have me doing a spit-take into my tea!
It's really inspirational to hear the story of your early days in Japan, with just a few bucks in your pocket, to see how far you have come. Congrats Norm... keep living the dream :)
I wouldn’t have ever thought about heated sidewalks. You should make a snowman reaching out to his fallen brethren on the heated sidewalk. But it’s really nice to see all this snow as a person who lives in an area that doesn’t really get any. And it was cool hearing about how hard it was originally being in Japan for you.
I absolutely love Sapporo, only spent like a day and a morning there on my first trip to Japan but I've always really wanted to go back. Awesome vid Norm and thanks as always for the window into Japan when a lot of us can't go
Just wanted to say that it really shows that you enjoy what you are doing. Your videos are very easy-going, in a positive light. They are a showcase of the environment through your view and you have eased into the storyteller role very well. Over the years I have seen a lot of similar type of channels, however yours really reminds me of what I used to enjoy in youtube like 14-15 years ago, as a sort of more down-to-earth, learn more about the world energy. Thanks for the content!
I just entered “Sapporo at night” and this came up. I suddenly tear up inside seeing this because I was there during the 2020 Snow Festival, and the virus wasn’t as prevalent then as it is now. It felt so peaceful walking back to the hotel from Susukino. I was there for like nine days and I still feel it wasn’t enough time for me to explore the place. Now I wish I took the plunge and at least try to live and work there years ago.
I lived in Japan for 4 years (many years ago) and just moved back last summer. Hokkaido is certainly on my list of places to go this summer, Ive been told its pretty spectacular, and as a chef a "must" for the food. The wine making in Hokkaido has taken a quantum leap in the last several years and they are making some very serious and interesting wines there now and gettin some international praise in the natural wine circles.
Sapporo is definitely on my list of places to go! thanks for sharing your footage of adventuring through the city. Having lived in a warmer climate for the last few years, I do miss the cold/snow from time to time. There's a certain feeling of peacefulness just walking through a city at night while snowing, seems like a great way to see everyday life there.
"My goal is to be happy with whatever I do"....YES. You have some of the greatest, most authentic, love-of-life content on the internet. Thank you Norm!! You've inspired me to explore more, learn more and love my life more!
Hi Norm, greetings from Mexico city! I just wanted to let you know how happy you made me with the lives in Sapporo, I must say you brought back some nice memories, my last trip to Japan was in December 2019, and spent 6 weeks traveling from Sapporo to Nagasaki, it was not my first trip to Japan, but it was the best planned and I enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart. Every time I discover you have been at a place I have been as well I get super exited. I love you content and you are my inspiration to get a good camera and to learn how to make the most of a place. Thank you for sharing!
I like how Sapporo is bigger than it’s fictional Pokémon counterpart Jubilife City in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum as well as the Gen VIII remakes. I like how the Pokémon company made Sinnoh based on Hokkaido.
The amount of snow this region can get in a given season is unbelievable! I watch it with envy as I live in Colorado and love to ski… we have feast or famine with snow here…sadly more and more famine. Glad to see Sapporo is enjoying a ton of snow!
Living in Finland makes me wish that snow did not exist but it's always beautiful to see it in video and pictures. The Sapporo snow festival is something I wish to see at some point but I do prefer warmer weathers of spring and summer and the colors of fall seasons so I don't know when I will get to do that. :) ..Also hopefully your camera didn't suffer too much from the snow!
The snow looks so nice! I've never seen real snow cause I live somewhere where it doesn't snow. It looks super cold though. Thanks for sharing your story of what was your first year in Japan is like. I've never been out of the country so it's interesting to hear other people's experiences. It's also great to see how things have changed from when you first got there compared to now. Belated Happy New Year!
I grew up in Central Texas under a family that was raised New York City, and for most of my life I never really saw snow. The recent years have at least brought a few scarce flurries, but my mom would always say "this isn't real snow." In February last year, we got slammed by two huge winter storms, and my mom finally told me that it was real snow. As someone who grew to love cold weather and the idea of magical, snowy, overcast adventure days, it was certainly one of the most memorable experiences for me.
I suppose it depends on the climate you’re used to, but at least for me the biggest contributor to the cold is the wind. Like above zero Fahrenheit isn’t really that cold if there’s no wind and the sun is out. 30 degrees would be considered a warm day
@@Graestra Wind is definitely the culprit, it cuts right through you and knocks the breath of of you. I remember the first time I realized it in Elementary School, I seriously couldn't breathe deep breaths while I was outside.
Idk but something about this video just makes me feel like I’m actually walking through the streets of Sapparo. You make it look so familiar and nostalgic.
I'm not really a winter person, but winter in Japan seems worth it. It's really amazing hearing about your first trip and seeing how far you've come! Thank you for sharing that with us!
Super happy to have found this channel. Probably gonna be studying abroad in Japan soon and honestly can't wait. Your videos really pushed me to make that leap so thank you so much man. Gotta treat you to a drink one day.
Hokkaido is so beautiful! It's the one place I really wanted to get to while living in Japan that I didn't make it to. Unfortunately as a teacher, I can't go there for the Snow Festival, but I hear it's a great place to visit in the summer too!
Your excitement for snow is contagious. Born, raised, and still living in a country that has never seen snow, I look forward to the day I experience my first real snow (went through small hail storms several times and went to 2 snow villages in theme parks here but no real snow.) Mom says the cold is torture but since I don't really feel cold temperatures as much as other people do, I believe I will enjoy it very much.
Avid skier from Canada. Sapporo is my fav city in Asia .Not just for what if offer but the fact that you're so close to so many world class ski options in that city.
Thank you for braving the cold and ice to show us around. It looks so magical and peaceful with snow (apart from the drunken shouting!) 💜 I’m going to watch your Sapparo snow festival video now ⛄️
With every video of yours, I learn something new. Never even heard of a place having heated sidewalks until today. That would make things so much simpler. No more ice buildup or muddy boots lol. Not going to lie, my favorite part was when you tilted the camera up towards the light and the snow was swirling around a bit. Reminded me of a real life snow globe for a moment.
It was nice to hear you talk about your early struggles with money and adjusting to Japan. It makes my fear about just simply visiting with money not being an issue seem ridiculous. I appreciate the honesty you bring to your channel.
Best ad timing I ever had. You slipped and before you recovered, the add starts playing. Keeping me in suspense. Did he fall, did he not is he alright. And then the little giggle. Almost to say got you there. 10/10 would Have ad again.
Thanks for sharing the magic. In 1985 I sailed into a blizzarding Sapporo on a small rusty tramp freighter straight from the tropics. Ice thick on our decks and snow piled high on the ground, we had cotton work gloves and no jackets. It was like Mars. Totally alien and totally beautiful. I still remember walking in off the snow tunnel sidewalk into my first ever 7-11, where the Bangles' Walk Like an Egyptian was playing on the PA. I was enchanted and mesmerized.
Big fluffy snowflakes and nighttime strolls are my favorite. Thank you for these wonderful videos, Norm. I recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying them all.
Great video, Captain. Lots of interesting info. It is always evident that you love exploring- it’s directly related to the quality of your productions.
Winter and construction 😆 Hokkaido seems to only get that lovely big, fluffy flakes type of snow 🥰. Thanks for the soothing scrunchy ASMR walks in late night/early morning. #thetrifecta
Sapporo looks like such a fun city I'd definitely visit Japan in the winter for this alone and see how it compares to BC winters. Love the coziness of wintertime to I'm sure it would be fun to experience that.
wow hearing you sleeping in an abandoned building before while trying to be frugal as much as possible seem like an adventure to me,, i am glad you are doing better than before and with a greater japanese vocabulary than before as well
The quality in his videos is consistently good. Might need to get something to stabilise the camera, but his interesting personality makes up for the extra wobbling. He reminds me of someone you'd see on the telly, presenting a nature program.....
Every time I see it, I always get the feeling that Sapporo is a comfortable place, and it somehow reminds me of home. Even moreso with all the snow haha. Beautiful!
I went to Hokkaido for the first time when I was an exchange student. I participated in a week-long, organized group trip. We stayed in Sapporo for the Snow Festival for just one day and spent the rest of the trip in Hakodate. I loved the experience, but I wish we stayed longer in Sapporo. Next time, when I hopefully return to Japan, I want to see more of Sapporo and the Snow Festival.
I really like watching you go for hikes, the best way to go for a hike is to get distracted by everything and go down the overgrown path 😄 I couldn't think of hiking in a different way! And thank you for showing all of us the nature of Japan, it's truly a dream🤗
I. Cannot. Get enough of that SNOW CRUNCH. Just by hearing that underfoot snow crunch, I can FEEL the cold air and taste that icy chill. I love that sound. Reminds me of beautiful, fresh snowfallen mornings, the calm quiet gray and white pristine atmosphere, snowball fights, snow angels, igloo building. 😌👐 I've been fearing snowy winters in Japan (bad knees) but this makes me want to get out there and experience it. Something about your energy Norm just makes my fear and sorrow fly away and I get so happy and excited to experience life again. (Forgive the novel 😅)
I'm really thankfull for videos like this. I haven't been able to go to Sapporo and visiting my girlfriend for 2 years, so seeing you walking around is very nostalgic and brings back a lot of good memories to me. Thanks a lot Norm! 😀
Hah! Thank you for posting this video because I was literally thinking about what to do in Sapporo and here my one of my favorite RUclipsrs popped one as soon as I got up this morning ❤️
Glad to see you back on the grind early and a great way to kick it off. That is one of the cities still on my bucket list for Japan as I stayed toward Osaka and I the lower half on my last trip so seeing the drastic difference just makes me hope this world wide mess gets over soon. Stay safe and can't wait to see what else you come up with this year.
I love the nighttime exploring adventures. Also I love hearing bits about your life. The precious snowman is too cute! Thank you for braving the cold & black ice!
I already wrote this on your morning lifestream in Sapporo, but...Thaaaaank you so much for sharing such beautiful winter moments. I really miss snow a lot, I still haven't seen a single snowflake this winter. Also: the little snowman you found was sooo adorable! (But nowhere near as cute as Captain Derps'a'lot xD).
Norm, I love your videos. You give such a positive vibe in every video you make and seem genuinely excited by what you see and do around Japan. It's great and very refreshing, not to mention how awesome your documentary videos are. Keep up the good work!! Looking forward to the next video.
This reminded me of my trip there for the snow festival. First time I did a snow angel and it was so fun. I thought I would get all wet from laying on the snow but learned that snow is actually "dry" when fresh and super cold. And the snow banks were almost as tall as me... (I'm five feet) Snow is pretty yes, but totally a pain to travel in
Jow beautiful it was to watch the falling snow! My poor brother slipped on ice yesterday while we grabbed the groceries out of the trunk of his car. His hands were so cold, he hadn't realized his hand was bleeding! He is doing better today though.
heated sidewalks??? how?? I love the way you crawl around a city to find weird ways to get to streets, or the things you have to say about what's around you. A fun romp around Sapporo.
stories of how you struggled in first years and stuff is really great considering where you are now and what you do with confidence and enjoyment (dont get me wrong its not good that you suffered but as how confident you are right now it fells like everyone can dot it! and i like that)
This is what I look forward to most when I go back to Japan one day. Is being able to walk at night by myself and not have to worry. Japan is so safe but yeah you do have to worry about the drunks just being a little wild.

Love the idea of winter camping!
Camping sounds like a plan. I resubbed to the explore channel. I have not been getting notifications
Winter camp, cant wait!! ❤💪
Winter camp🙌🏻 winter camp🙌🏻 ❄️
At least you have snow.
I love to see a snowy cover on the street outside.
I was the one who watched you fell down on the slippery street the other day when you were live-streaming on your second channel! And now which makes this video more fun to see how you were filming😁Hope you enjoyed the tour Lens!😆✨
Hahaha thanks eh~
Enjoyed your stream while I was stuck waiting for my flight to get sorted back to snowy tokyo haha
@@TokyoLens haha the epic slip 🤣 glad you didn't got hurt
.....
As a fellow Canadian, I've never heard a truer statement than "...where we have two seasons, winter, and construction." Amazing!
Heated sidewalks wouldn't accomplish much in -35 C Quebec. We would need lava to keep our streets warm in the winter.
@@dereksbooks Very true! But it's nice to imagine a Canada with heated sidewalks all the same 😂
🤣
I'm only in southern BC so the winters are... well, they're SUPPOSED to be mild. But 'winter and construction' did nearly have me doing a spit-take into my tea!
It's really inspirational to hear the story of your early days in Japan, with just a few bucks in your pocket, to see how far you have come. Congrats Norm... keep living the dream :)
Means a lot~
Thank you Robb
Seriously
Japan is so beautiful when it has snowed! Wish I was there right now!

I'm still at awe how connected your videos are despite being taken on separate takes and places
Super happy to have found this channel. Probably gonna be studying abroad in Japan soon and honestly can't wait. Your videos really pushed me to make that leap so thank you so much man. Gotta treat you to a drink one day.
It’s so cool how you have all these different climates in japan. From the snowy Hokkaido in winter to the tropical Okinawa in summer.
Hokkaido is so beautiful! It's the one place I really wanted to get to while living in Japan that I didn't make it to. Unfortunately as a teacher, I can't go there for the Snow Festival, but I hear it's a great place to visit in the summer too!
Hokkaido is a stunning location.
Great to see you again.. Always wanted to see Sapporro in the Winter. at NIGHT !!!
It’s beautiful eh!!

I’m going to watch your Sapparo snow festival video now ⛄️
This sort of image is just unreal to me. Being from Portugal I never would see something like this in a city. Beautiful really
This video is a joy to watch now in the peak of summer..

So much snow!! Wow havent had much snow in ages. It just makes everithing more quit,brighter,beautifuller ... all in all beter.
Winter and construction... yep, i fully agree on that statement regarding Canada's seasons!
MY GOSH that snow looks so nice & powdery!
Great video, Captain. Lots of interesting info. It is always evident that you love exploring- it’s directly related to the quality of your productions.
Love the vibe at night with all the snow!
When you said that happiness is 'being able to buy a hot drink in 7/11' almost made me cry
Winter and construction 😆 Hokkaido seems to only get that lovely big, fluffy flakes type of snow 🥰. Thanks for the soothing scrunchy ASMR walks in late night/early morning. #thetrifecta
Night lights of Sapporo with snow falling looks visually beautiful!
Went to Hokkaido last month and spent 4 days in Sapporo. By far the best city in japan for me
Snow is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience when you first came into Japan and my dream is to go into Japan.
Thanks for sharing the walk, stay warm.

Norm, your enthusiasm for making a video comes through and makes it more exciting to watch.
when you said that you're happy with being able to communicate well with the locals, I felt you 🥲
I love these night videos, thank you so much.
The quality in his videos is consistently good. Might need to get something to stabilise the camera, but his interesting personality makes up for the extra wobbling. He reminds me of someone you'd see on the telly, presenting a nature program.....
Every time I see it, I always get the feeling that Sapporo is a comfortable place, and it somehow reminds me of home. Even moreso with all the snow haha. Beautiful!

There’s a video of the snow festival and Hokkaido linked 😊
Enjoy!

Awesomely beautiful snowfall 🦋🦋🦋 thanks for sharing 🦋🦋🦋
I. Cannot. Get enough of that SNOW CRUNCH. Just by hearing that underfoot snow crunch, I can FEEL the cold air and taste that icy chill. I love that sound. Reminds me of beautiful, fresh snowfallen mornings, the calm quiet gray and white pristine atmosphere, snowball fights, snow angels, igloo building. 😌👐

As someone who lives in a tropical country, Japan in winter looks really beutiful
Love it~
Yeah I have not seen snow since I was 8 years old and it looks amazing
I'm really thankfull for videos like this.
I haven't been able to go to Sapporo and visiting my girlfriend for 2 years, so seeing you walking around is very nostalgic and brings back a lot of good memories to me. Thanks a lot Norm! 😀
Really love this kind of traveling at night in the city video.
Hah! Thank you for posting this video because I was literally thinking about what to do in Sapporo and here my one of my favorite RUclipsrs popped one as soon as I got up this morning ❤️
So far we've received 3/4 of an inch of snow. Thanks for sharing.
Love the Sapporo vibe!
Keep warm Norm!🌠
Thanks Daisy!
You too eh
I don't know what it is about snow, but it always seems to bring out a sense of child-like wonder that I don't believe I'll ever outgrow.
Glad to see you back on the grind early and a great way to kick it off. That is one of the cities still on my bucket list for Japan as I stayed toward Osaka and I the lower half on my last trip so seeing the drastic difference just makes me hope this world wide mess gets over soon. Stay safe and can't wait to see what else you come up with this year.
I visited Sapporo back in 2020 during the snow festival. One of the best places I visited and lucky I made it before the pandemic worsened.
Heated sidewalks make sense with the amount of snow Sapporo gets. Winter camping is fun as well. I did it a few times with the Boy Scouts.
The snow is so beautiful! About to experience the coldest Christmas in my city in over 30 years!
Great video as always. LOVE the look and feel of Snow in Japan.
This all looked so beautiful.
I love the nighttime exploring adventures. Also I love hearing bits about your life. The precious snowman is too cute! Thank you for braving the cold & black ice!
We love watching you love what you do ♥️📺!
Thank you so much for the brain break, and great start to the new year! Love the Sapporo fun facts, too!
Thanks so much for the recent binge!!
Been enjoying getting to know you for though the comments

Was up in Aomori over the end of the year and the snow was about that deep or even more, crazy stuff!
Aomori is great too!
Norm, I love your videos. You give such a positive vibe in every video you make and seem genuinely excited by what you see and do around Japan. It's great and very refreshing, not to mention how awesome your documentary videos are. Keep up the good work!! Looking forward to the next video.
Ah sapporo, the place that facinates a tropical boy. the amount of snow is insane
Hahaha understandable
Sapporo looks so nice at night really feeling the vibe with the music
😊

stories of how you struggled in first years and stuff is really great considering where you are now and what you do with confidence and enjoyment (dont get me wrong its not good that you suffered but as how confident you are right now it fells like everyone can dot it! and i like that)
Notification squad here! First video of the year here we goooooo
This is what I look forward to most when I go back to Japan one day. Is being able to walk at night by myself and not have to worry. Japan is so safe but yeah you do have to worry about the drunks just being a little wild.
Great kick off of the new year!!! 👍 Happy New Year 2022!!! I wish you all the success on your projects!!! ✌️
Nice to see Sapporo at Night. I am also planning to visit end December
Beautiful video, Norm. Love seeing the snow.
Man it’s so beautiful
Your videos always put a smile on my face, keep on going :)
very nice!
i wish was snowy here too
I miss Sapporo so much! My brother lives there and I haven't seen him in over 3 years. I envy you man.
