@@JDigital123 the point is people native to japan wont see it that way. he doesnt look like them. thats not a bad thing, but it makes him easier to remember because he stands out.
Now, this is how I'd like to spend my day! Wandering the forest, finding hidden trails and secret shrines. I haven't been to Kyoto yet, but this is 100% on my to-do list when I get there. Absolutely gorgeous! And moss!!!😍
Everything you captured such as beautiful green moss, wet ground and the stream down the path makes me realize how cold it was but also exciting adventure you went through! Little snow left on the ground makes amazing contact with the red torii gates too!😊✨
When my friends and I visited Fushimi Inari in 2017 we found those trails by accident and just wandered around for hours exploring all of the little shrines and the bamboo forest, one of the highlights of the trip!
Norm you are getting me so excited about my trip in two weeks. My first time visiting Japan my friend and I explored some of the exact same places you showed in this video! We had no idea where we were going and just stumbled upon them. Your camera work really conveys the beauty of those places and reminds me of how special it felt being there.
The amount of information Akiko provided and all the curiosities from the different segments of the Fushimi Inari were a treat to learn about! Thanks for all the content
I love how this video not only showcased the beautiful location you visited but also provided a deep cultural experience. That's so interesting that depending on what side you entered the gate from you also had to enter using the associated sides leg first
These uploads keep magically lining up with my breaks at work and I absolutely love it 😂 The lesser known or “secret” parts of Kyoto have always been something I am super curious about. One of my favorite videos from you recently, keep up the great work man!
Oh, such a beautiful place and beautiful customs and traditions. The bamboo forest is so magical place. I have to make the trip to Japan and Kyoto a reality someday!
I did this trail accidentally back in 2019. It was my first visit to Fushimi Inari and the main path up with all the gates was absolutely packed with tourists. I stumbled across the entrance to the trail and decided to follow it up to the top. It was a very happy accident because the forest scenery and hidden shrines were beautiful and there were so few other people on the trail that it was probably the most alone (in a good way) I felt on the entire trip. By the time I made it to the top, most of the crowds had cleared out and I could take my time going back down through the popular Torii gate path, so I still got to experience that, too. Ultimately it turned out to be one of my favourite days of the whole trip. Couldn't recommend doing this more. But spiders... oh, the spiders... if you're arachnophobic at all, be warned (not an issue here, fortunately, but they're everywhere and huge).
This may not be helpful for you, but whenever I walk a trail with lots of spider webs, I try to find a stick with a few branches to wave in front of my face as I walk like a magic wand. It probably looks weird (not that there are many people around on webby trails to judge), but it cuts down on spider webs in your face by at least 90%!
Kyoto has been on my list for a decade. The stairs, the historical architecture, the other-worldly vibe…just so beautiful. Thanks for taking us through. ❤️
Wow! What a beautiful area! I would love to see this with my own eyes some day. It’s magical places like these that have me completely enthralled by Japan and it’s culture. Also, so amazing to learn new customs from locals. I absolutely love opportunities like that! 😻 Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with us!
My First time in Kyoto, I went on one of the trails that leads from the main path because it was stupidly busy. had an amazing peaceful hike by myself, while everyone else had to stop every for often for people taking photos. There seems to heaps of these trails and they are all surprisingly quiet and scenic compared to the main trail
I went all the way to the top of Fushimi Inari a few years ago during summer and while I loved the journey, it really wiped me out for the day. So much to see and photograph.
Hidden hiking trail to Fushimi Inari?! This is what I am here for! Bamboo trial?? I've added this to my list. It's so hard to find stillness in Kyoto and this totally ticked that box for me.
I was smiling through this whole video too! I wish I had known about this trail when my sister was with me. She commented on how crowded Kyoto was at the time (this was like 10 years ago) and I wish I could have shown here this trail! And you saw the previous store owner! How magical!
Absolutely gorgeous, fun, and Fushimi never ceases to be awe inspiring and awesome. I'm going to be all over that mountain. 😍 🎶 My excitement is so real. 14 days til I'm back in Tokyo, 20 til I'm in Kyoto again. Have a great week, Norm 💜✌🐦
@@TokyoLens 🥳 🙃 secret insta DM messaged a bit ago with dates, but figured I'd contact once I was on the ground and settled 😆 trying not to bounce off the walls in anticipation
I love the spirituality and tradition. I know with each passing generation they seem less important and kess understood but i truly hope they're carried forward by the youth for many years to come.
I actually came back from a long hike when you uploaded the video so I went straight to sleep, good thing I remembered to come back and check it because this is an absolute gem that I will save for when maybe I'll be able to visit the place.
It's really cool when places like that have secrets. Like, everyone knows the main area exist but to know there's more to it and know how to get there seems amazing.
What an amazing guide, perfect fit for a Tokyo Lens video, she had very positive happy vibes and a lot of amazing tidbits. I actually learned a few new things about Japan in this video including now how to properly enter a tori gate.
I loved loved LOVEd the area of Inari. It was a dream come true and I can't wait to go back again. I really fell in love with the atmosphere and the peace. And we were early enough that we witnessed priests doind a ceremony and their chant was it us for the few first torii 😻
Theres a path near Mt Hiei called Yase path of Maple. Its absolutely stunning especially in Aki (fall). You should hike it, all the way up to Hieizan. I just love Kyoto so much!
YES 🙌🏻 I LOVE FUSHIMI INARI TOO 😭 no matter how many people say that you can find similar one in other parts of japan, Fushimi Inari has that special ambience, especially if you go early in the morning. When the morning sun hits some parts of its area, it’s just so beautiful and peaceful
Another beautiful video, and I loved learning all the little things (how to enter the torii, the red clay used for coloring them, the ochazuke hint)! Thanks, Norm!
I’m so happy to know there’s other trails at the shrine, AND a different bamboo forest, so I can get those bamboo forest shots and not have to worry about anxiety. 👌 📸 Definitely gonna look into Magical Trip tours!
A stunning behind the scenes look at Japan. Their culture is so deep and old. Thank you for a most memorable experience. Your lady friend is an encyclopedia of cultural gems. I loved her willingness to share her knowledge. Well done Sir! 👍❤️
Just read an article in the Japan Times about Kei Ito who is refurbishing the Ito Shinzo trail linking Toyama and Nagano prefectures and thought of you. Got home from my walk and got this video. Perfect timing. Check it out cause I know you don’t have enough adventures planned!!!! Thanks for the fun.
Three weeks ago I finally visited Japan and fushimi inari was my favorite place. I should stay longer in Kyoto, three days weren't nearly enough, but well I wanted to see so much other places too. And omg, the nice lady on the end of your video was sooo kinde and pacient with us and our limited knowledge of japanese. We got some matcha ice and some beautiful omiyage at her place. Thank you so much for this video. I wish I could stay longer or come back in autumn as originally planned, but I didn't get in for the semester abroad in japan. Greetings, GrayFox
I love the excitement with which you explore the country of Japan! I'm not certain I'll ever make to that part of the world, so I'm grateful to be able to see it through your eyes.
I KNEW you were Canadian!!! If my hubby and I ever get to Japan we'd love to have you show us around. You have such joy in all you see....it would be a joy to have you show us.
This is SUCK GREAT INFORMATION for me! I've wanted to go to Japan MOST of my life and I know Kyoto is very untouched in many ways so I know that I want to go there but my wife and I love to hike and fish and I feared there may not be places in Kyoto to do some of that. Thanks to you, now I know. I found myself almost tearing up when you were able to drink at the shrine and have an egg and some tea...and even now thinking about it. What a wonderful emotional "embrace" that is. Seeing this has made my heart ache to go there before I can no longer enjoy hiking and things like this. Beautiful experience.
I'm sold ont his trip. I'm gonna save for it now. This is exactly what I'm currently looking for in Japan : just walks and hikes with so many beautiful sightings and spiritual connections. Also love the hiking boots ! I have the exact same. 10/10 would recommend.
im speechless i have been to Fushimi Inari but just walking on the forest with a different point of view of the shrine is crazy, also how luck you are you got to see the priest doing his routine, also loved the tour guide Akiko the small details she explained and the background it just took the tour to another level thanks!!!
I'm usually a silent watcher but I need to tell you: I love your energy in front of the camera! And the opportunity to have a piece of Japan for ourselves. ♥️
What a beautiful forest! I don't think I've ever seen plants or trees so tall. The sound of the wind, it's like the forest is whispering secrets to you. I would love to see this shrine one day. It seems like a beautiful, peaceful place, and I love the foxes. Your excitement at being there is understandable. We are booked to be in Tokyo for New Year and for a couple of days in Nagano so my daughter can see and play in snow. I am very excited! It seems so far off right now though.
I've been to that area which you called the power spot. I just gravitated to it because I like wandering in cemeteries when I can. There are many hidden gems in Kyoto city for tourists to discover much less Kyoto prefecture.
Oh thank you so much for this video tour. I love watching Tokyo Lens and this is my favorite video so far. I may never be able to afford to come to Japan. It has been my dream for a long time. As the two of you walked through that beautiful forest, I felt as if I was there. The shrines, the trees, everything seems so refreshing. I will watch this video again and again. Thank you!
Fellow Canadiab here. Love this video. Discovered your channel recently and greatly enjoying binging all your videos. Your excitement is infectious and it makes my life long desire to visit Japan increase exponentially. Random question, what coat are you wearing in this video? I love all the pockets.
I finally had the chance to go there last week, and visit all of the hidden shrines around Fushimi Inari, there was nobody and it was magical. And I also ended up climbing to the summit by night, it was awesome. I took so many pictures~
My friend, thank you so much for getting out there and sharing this with us. Truly, this is exactly something I needed, as I feel like in the past few years I lost all the energy and spirit for adventures. Truly an amazing video and thank you again. Wishing you all the best. :)
There's just so much here between the history, the scenery, and the sort of back alley hidden aspect of it. Cold weather or not, this is somewhere I need to go at some point. I plan on applying for my passport sometime very soon.

All the secrets, passageways, even hidden hikes, cities with history are so awesome

and thank you so much for being here~
I just get an overwhelming feeling of peace when I see things like this. Would love to go one day. 🙏
Amazing to see a secret passage to a popular spot!!!
loved it!
Stone and Moss make the perfect combinations for landscape aesthetic.
I’ve decided to study japanese in kyoto for a year and this is definitely a place I'll be visiting during my studies! Such a beautiful place!!
I love how this video not only showcased the beautiful location you visited but also provided a deep cultural experience. That's so interesting that depending on what side you entered the gate from you also had to enter using the associated sides leg first
Just beautiful, nature loving people know how amazing is the feeling being in a forest, love it
I've noticed the music is always so fitting in your videos, really creates a sense of wonder and beauty.
These uploads keep magically lining up with my breaks at work and I absolutely love it 😂 The lesser known or “secret” parts of Kyoto have always been something I am super curious about. One of my favorite videos from you recently, keep up the great work man!
theres a whole extra set of videos in the description with even MORE hidden spots in Kyoto!!
Oh, such a beautiful place and beautiful customs and traditions. The bamboo forest is so magical place. I have to make the trip to Japan and Kyoto a reality someday!
Fushimi-inari was one of my highlights when exploring Kyoto. Fascinated with the endless amount of Torii

and its about 10,000% better when you get out of the main tourist areas to spots like this hidden trail!!

This is the video I like because I love hiking. Japan is just beautiful with its nature and how well Japanese people kept it.
This is an absolutely beautiful area. Fushimi Inari is already great but love the magic of hidden shrines and bamboo forests
Many thanks Mr Norm, for giving those of us who can't travel, a glimpse into these magical places! 🙏✌️🙏
Absolutely gorgeous, fun, and Fushimi never ceases to be awe inspiring and awesome. I'm going to be all over that mountain. 😍 🎶 My excitement is so real. 14 days til I'm back in Tokyo, 20 til I'm in Kyoto again. Have a great week, Norm 💜✌🐦
Fushimi is just the gift that keeps giving!!
14 DAYS?!?! you 100% KNOW that the studio is open for you right?

Always gotta love walking around in nature
Absolutely beautiful!💯
Seeing the old couple still recognise Norm after a year, that was the best moment!
Thank you so much for this video! It was absolutely awesome to see this hidden gem of a trail! And that bamboo forest! WOW!
I love her accent! Its so pleasant to hear. Of course, I love everything that you create. I'm binge-watching right now.
I was looking this morning to find this and every turn I took was right and kept finding all these places in the video. I love Mt.Inari.
Proper adventure. Looks like perfect hiking weather. Exploring is more fun on foot, and better for you. Right side,right leg. Better remember that
Akiko is so pretty, her smile can light up a room!
I love the spirituality and tradition. I know with each passing generation they seem less important and kess understood but i truly hope they're carried forward by the youth for many years to come.

I have no words for how awesome this is. I will be in Kyoto in a few weeks and I will do my best to find one of these hidden gems.
Your love for the shrine really shone through and it made me happy too 🙂

It seems like a beautiful, peaceful place, and I love the foxes. Your excitement at being there is understandable. We are booked to be in Tokyo for New Year and for a couple of days in Nagano so my daughter can see and play in snow. I am very excited! It seems so far off right now though.
love the little treat at the end! I cant remember faces at all so its even more amazing to me.
wow... looks a calming view at the forest
This culture is so fascinating and interesting. The nature is so beautiful 😀
I loved Kyoto, I came to Japan for the Tokyo Marathon and had such a beautiful experience!!!!
Every time I watch your videos, I wish I could just leave college and go explore Japan to see how pretty and cool everything is. One day, I believe!
I can't really add much to your positive comments and videography of the shrines - I'll remember it moving forward. Thanks, Norm.

Just seeing this brings back so many memories of my time at Fushimi Inari in 2016. Thanks for showing us, Norm!
Truely an amazing hike! Where is this entrance located would love to go 🤩
9:21 love it! In addition to death stairs, Norm often finds various random precipices while lugging 40 lbs of camera gear.
The green plants next to the red tori gates is such a pretty contrast 🥰 What a fun adventure!
