Thank you so much for adding subtitles! For me, the fact that a RUclipsr adds subtitles is proof that they really care about the community and their inclusiveness.
it looks like the hotel was occupied by someone, because in front of the door where there is a pool there is a pool cleaning machine and a pipe that is neatly rolled up like it has just been used
The onsen was clearly not abandoned. There’s still using it. The building not so much. It looks like that building was recently vacated. Like in the last few months. I don’t think it was very smart of them to keep the lights on when they were at using space. Unless of course they were actually renting it.
Im glad you explained the reasoning behind so much waste, but it still doesn't make it right. All the wood, dishes, art, everything can be recycled. I wish people would not be so wasteful. Love how you go about doing you're videos. And your knowledgeable and respectful and I really appreciate that.
Awesome episode. Couple things that I find striking is that some of these places look really clean, even after being abandoned for years. Another thing is that there is pretty much 0 evidence of theft or vandalism. It makes these places so much more interesting to explore. Last, but not least I also get the impression that everything is unlocked and easy to access!
Japan really is an interesting place. I've always wanted to go there to see it myself. Such an interesting mix of ultra modern and traditional culture. Plus, it's nice to see a place where stuff is generally left alone, unlike most places where anything abandoned gets swarmed and looted if people leave for more than a day.
Japanese believe anything that wasn't successful or was abandoned is cursed and they won't loot or in many cases even trespass. However this doesn't mean they will use it again nor would they sell it. They both believe that the place can never be used again plus it's owner still believes that the land is valuable to sell. Even though it'll never sell because if the aforementioned curse thing. Japanese people are screwed up. An entire race of high functioning anxiety lunatics.
Damn, wat vet man! Ongelofelijk dat de Japanners uit schaamte/cultuur zulke gebouwen intact laten om vervolgens de natuur het te laten overnemen. Zorgt wel voor super dikke content!🤯
Thank you for sharing your videos on the places you explore. Another hor spring is in Banff,Alberta. There is a 30 minute limit in mineral pool. I could barely breath in thar pool. Sulphur springs. That place isn't abandoned and could be -30 c and that water be a steamy 89°F.
Great video and awesome explore! That was really conveniant in a free hotel with a free onsen 👊🏻 would be very nice after 8 days. Loved the explore! Abandoned for over 2 decades and in still such a untouched condition.... you nailed it with this location Bob! Tot de volgende video 🔥🔥🔥
I actually went to that hotel and walked around a few years ago. I just never posted a video about it. There were a few other people when I got there also...
@@kohteehock9020 There are many places like this throughout Japan, take a drive 3-6 hours outside of Tokyo and you will find plenty of awesome things. Look up the poorest prefectures and start there.
I know.. but do you have any idea hoe much glass is scattered around! After stepping into it twice I don’t take them off anymore. Not want to get injured at the other side of the world.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath If you don't trespass in the first place, you don't have to worry about getting hurt by glass. Also, it is a crime to enter a hot spring without paying. Even a child can understand this.
I was only able to watch your new video just now as I have been very busy for the past 3 days😃 By the way that was the real Relax Center hotel! Nice find, as always!😊
Just watched this Awesome Video Absolutely Enjoyed it 😊😅You Guys Allways Have a Great Time Love The Stunning Onsen Fantastic View Being Abandoned Epic Vieo Bob Stay Safe😊
1997 was a bad year for Japan. Several banks and financial institutions collapsed late in the year and there was a run on the banks. Domesitic tourism faltered as people weren't keen on spending disposible income when the economy was faltering. It wasn't uncomon for hotels just to close their doors with a view to reopening 'shortly' after the storm had passed. That time never came, and with the devaluing land prices, they weren't even atractive for redevlopement or sale. Thus you end up with the time capsules you see in the videos. Plus also with the extremely low crime rates in Japan, alot of places go untouched until the weather and lack of maintenance take their toll.
I have mapped out over 2000+ abandoned places in Japan and work closely with a website hidden from the western world, only known in Japan. If you are still in Japan, or go back, drop a comment so I know you see this and I'll message you the website and the list. I don't want it public, but I trust you guys. I've mapped some amazing locations, never seen to the public eye. And we keep it up to date, so we have places that were recently abandoned or found.
I'm coming back to Japan next week and hope to build with the haikyo community there. I've got a good amount of spots I hope to visit, ideally compare with others to assess what places are not safe etc. Looking to hire a car and drive to a number of spots. Also happy to show the urbex spots here in Melbourne Australia
@@bender7565 it wasn't just his channel for me I had notifications on for 3 other channels and nothing for them but 1 I didnt have them set for sent a notification
We are all voyeurs here, relying on you guys to take us places. The more detail the better, for me. So I really enjoyed this explore, with nearly everything intact, and I'd have gladly watched a couple of hours of you getting into the hotel's nooks and crannies like I would myself. Maybe there's a certain kind of voyeur that craves all the little details of the building's former life; if so, I'm all about it. Just sayin.
It's simple, no angry employees or a party. Japan has earthquakes, so its natural to assume that the damage seen in many rooms was caused by all the multiple earthquakes from past years.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath I did think about that before posting the comment, but i did it anyway because for me it seamed that the damage is only in rooms where there are ceiling and wall panels. At least that's what I saw briefly in the video. You were there, I'm not going to argue with you :), but I saw many videos with 7 and even 8+ earthquakes in Japan, and just minor cracks occurred in walls. Mild earthquakes could displace wall panels and just that. But again, you were there, so my arguments are invalid. Another great video btw.
This is just my guess, but I think it might be used to keep track of hotel guests for every room on every floor. Because traditional ryokans pay great attention to service details, any living habits or service requests of hotel guests that may affect the service may be recorded in the book. Moreover, this type of hotel should have many regular customers. Only by recording this information can the hotel ensure that the hotel can provide the same or better service quality when the guest checks in next time. And the round turntable should just be more convenient to take these books.
That’s not an abandoned onsen. It’s called 「大野天風呂」which is run by IZU ATAGAWA ONSEN HOTEL CETUS ROYAL in Shizuoka prefecture. And it’s not free. I appreciate your interest in Japan but please be respectful.
@@Estellay504The hotel they stayed at is certainly no longer in business. However, in Japan, if you enter an abandoned hotel without permission, it is a serious crime called trespassing. And the hot springs where they bathed are still open today and are not free. Perhaps to disguise their criminal activity, they refer to the hot springs they bathed in as if they were the hot spring facilities of an abandoned hotel where they stayed. However, the hot springs they entered without permission were not the hot spring facilities of the abandoned hotel where they stayed. The hot springs they bathed in are located in another hotel that is still open today. The abandoned hotel where they stayed and the hot springs where they bathed are separated by several hundred meters. So what they are doing is a clear crime. They are repeatedly trespassing in Fukushima and throughout Japan. I think this kind of behavior will antagonize Japanese people.
Amazing. Especially the one that still has electricity! Makes me wonder who is still paying the bill! BTW: The constant giggling of the cameraman is REALLY annoying!
Thank you so much for adding subtitles! For me, the fact that a RUclipsr adds subtitles is proof that they really care about the community and their inclusiveness.
Thanks Benjamin! Yes, it takes a lot of extra work too :)
15:35 those light fixtures as so beautiful ❤
I don't understand how such a nice building is just abandoned as is.
it looks like the hotel was occupied by someone, because in front of the door where there is a pool there is a pool cleaning machine and a pipe that is neatly rolled up like it has just been used

I don’t think it was very smart of them to keep the lights on when they were at using space. Unless of course they were actually renting it.
This was a great exploration, and the free hotel experience is a very cool one to relate to. Had a good time watching you having a good time!
A very nice explore again, not a bad place even after 24 years abandonment
Im glad you explained the reasoning behind so much waste, but it still doesn't make it right. All the wood, dishes, art, everything can be recycled. I wish people would not be so wasteful. Love how you go about doing you're videos. And your knowledgeable and respectful and I really appreciate that.

Well, this one was locked pretty well, but we managed to find a way in after some climbing :)
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath 😃😃😂😂🤣🤣
It's certainly not abandoned
Good job guys. I enjoy your videos and exploring and how respectful you are to what you may find.
This hotel closed in 2018.
The open-air bath is also managed by the hotel next door and currently requires a reservation.
Ah, you mean the hotel where we slept.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath
Yes
By the way, it seems that the reason why electricity is passing is that it is used occasionally.
i have watched many of these type of shows.......YOURS by far the best yet and wow im hooked and thank you very much,well wishes to all!
Thanks Tony! To be honest there are better ones on my channel😁 (And a lot of the best places worldwide I still have to upload)

Japan has really cool abandonments, though a lot of the highlights have been demolished in the past years :(
Yeah how come it wasn't all u mentioned
Weird really didn't look abandoned to me at all
Just can’t understand why it has power when says it’s abandoned for decades.
Who cleaning pool just doesn’t figure
Absolutely brilliant explore, a virtually untouched hotel. Loved the cheeky check in :)
I imagine all the rooms are unlocked and they needed the key to make sure nobody wandered in during the night.
Very interesting...looks like an opportunity missed at the first disregarded place - looks distinctly like a covered pyramid in your short clip!!
Awesome video Bob as always man love the videos you put out.
Thanks Ricky! Some bunkers coming up😁
@Exploring the Unbeaten Path I look forward to watching them the bunker videos are my favorites.
Thanks so much for sharing this,Bob! I really hope you are doing well💕💜 I would never leave that place,Wow!!!
Thanks Brenda! All good here, just back from Hungary and next week I go to explore in China!
