**THIS WEEK: Kicking off a HUGE adventure with the Patreon Crew where YOU Choose this years next big adventure!!** Come join the fun!!
i'm so happy to have found your channel!
To be honest, I'm most amazed by the old couple who recognized you after over a year and still remember you do videos. With all the people that come through you still stand out :)
i mean hes not japanese so he does stick out a bit more, so im not too surprised.
@@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!!!😍
the best way to spend a day~
Just need to avoid that unmarked death trail 🤣
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!😊✨
honestly such a great trip to go on!! 10/10 recommend this!!
So extremely
All the secrets, passageways, even hidden hikes, cities with history are so awesome
honestly love it~
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.
I hope you have an absolutely spectacular trip!!!
I am sure it will be!
@@TokyoLens It was a spectacular trip!
Hidden places are just delightful, and give magical aura around them
truly~
Amazing to see a secret passage to a popular spot!!!
loved it!
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%!
Wow, Kyoto is more beautiful every time I see it! Also your guide was so knowledgeable! Thanks for taking us along Norm 🇯🇵
Thanks for coming along for it~
Stone and Moss make the perfect combinations for landscape aesthetic.
I just get an overwhelming feeling of peace when I see things like this. Would love to go one day. 🙏
Seeing the old couple still recognise Norm after a year, that was the best moment!
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
Glad you enjoyed it!
and thank you so much for being here~
I took this trail back in 2018, so excited to see it again!
I'll never get over how beautiful the countryside is
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.
honestly every part of this had me smiling inside and out~!
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!
She's an amazing tour guide
Thanks Norm, My wife and I will be staying in Kyoto in 2 1/2 weeks with no real set itinerary, thanks for such a wonderful tour
Many thanks Mr Norm, for giving those of us who can't travel, a glimpse into these magical places! 🙏✌️🙏
I can't really add much to your positive comments and videography of the shrines - I'll remember it moving forward. Thanks, Norm.
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!!
The trees are so big. They really make us humble
love the little treat at the end! I cant remember faces at all so its even more amazing to me.
I've noticed the music is always so fitting in your videos, really creates a sense of wonder and beauty.
My daughter and I got to the bamboo forest very early in the morning. The trails where empty and we got got great pictures. We walked thru the neighbors and then over the Ashirama to see the monkeys. We had a really good lunch at a Buddhist restaurant run by a very friendly elderly couple. Then we walked up Fushimi Inari. It was a wonderful day.
What a great experience. That sounds like the best day ever. You're so lucky!😊
Japan has always been a place i wanted to visit beautyful
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?
@@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
Notification squad where we at?? Excited to see the gorgeous place you have lined up for us today
Notification squad love~
best group ever!
Just beautiful, nature loving people know how amazing is the feeling being in a forest, love it
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
More than anything, this video has me craving spring foliage 😍
The way she keeps saying exactly is just so endearing.
Great hidden hike!
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~
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.
Moss covered shrines and a walk amongst the bamboo giants. Gorgeous!
I love videos like these. If time wasn't an issue treks like this would be on my to do list.
I went to Fushimi Inari shrine in december and it was amazing, I never knew about all the trails and small shrines around, now I want to go back🤣
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
I went up that back enterence back in 2018. It was very beautiful!
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
Oh my gosh .
I hope you can do video's with her again.
She was a wealth of information.
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!!
Thank you for showing off the remarkable country that is Japan. I hope to take my parents on a trip there once I graduate from high school. ❤
May 13th I leave for Japan for 3 weeks. Tokyo and Kyoto. Thank you for showing another side of Kyoto. Who need bar hopping tours when you can explore stuff like this. I'm sure going to check things like this out.
Japan really is covered with so many gorgeous places
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!
honestly was such a learning experience for me! loved it~
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 was so beautiful!!! I'm definitely hiring her when I visit Kyoto! Thanks for such an awesome video. I love your joy in exploring.
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.
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.
Always gotta love walking around in nature
It's the same couple from the last kyoto video!! They remembered and even asked if you were recording. That puts a smile on my face
It’s actually the woman from the empty Kyoto documentary! The one in the thumbnail! 😊
Secret entrances and hidden hikes, love it! If I ever get the chance to, I would love to do this hidden hike too! 😊
You should! it is quite the beautiful walk!
@@TokyoLens I've added it to my list of things to do in Japan! 😁
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!
thank you so much for being here for it~
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!
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.
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.
Thank you so much for this video! It was absolutely awesome to see this hidden gem of a trail! And that bamboo forest! WOW!
This is an absolutely beautiful area. Fushimi Inari is already great but love the magic of hidden shrines and bamboo forests
How cool we went there yesterday it was really nice
I can already tell this one is going to be fire 🔥
loved every minute of this one~
Until I am able to visit Japan, I enjoy these videos. The guide made it extra special and made this good video into a great video
Proper adventure. Looks like perfect hiking weather. Exploring is more fun on foot, and better for you. Right side,right leg. Better remember that
She was an amazing guide. Thank you for sharing.
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. ❤️
and its about 10,000% better when you get out of the main tourist areas to spots like this hidden trail!!
Absolutely beautiful. These shrines are insane… your hiking vids are awesome, Norm!🎉
Glad you like them! They're a ton of fun to make~
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
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!
I love the foxes! So wonderful.
Akiko is so pretty, her smile can light up a room!
Fushimi Inari seems like a place you could explore for a week, and still find new hidden details and places.
The hidden hike looks so fun!! Definitely my bucket list to check out the Magical Trip tour with Akiko~❤
This video calms my anxiety. I’ve always loved forests. I take it as a sign to plan a visit! Thank you.
Ahhh I just came back yesterday from Japan! This Video would have me served great 5 Weeks ago
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 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.
Happy like a child 💟
Absolutely magical and your choice of music almost got me crying with how beautiful everything was lol. Really hope I get a chance to visit someday!
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 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.
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 😻
Putting this on my list for when i visit in 2 months. Thank you SO MUCH for capturing this!!!
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. ♥️
I really appreciate that~
Thank you so much!
I love her accent! Its so pleasant to hear. Of course, I love everything that you create. I'm binge-watching right now.
I love these videos. It's been 20 years, I used to go every year for 2 weeks. I need to get back.
It was so fun to see you be the one shown around for a change! Especially with Akiko being such a wonderful guide! 🤩
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.
Your love for the shrine really shone through and it made me happy too 🙂
Videos like this one make everything feel so surreal and hard to believe that exist.
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'll be there in a few days!!!! I'm definitely going to go find this! I didn't know that going through the Torii gates you did the right side and right foot 1st, Great to know!
Much love from Arizona 💜💜
This video is another great reason why I will always keep notifications on for Tokyo Lens videos. Don't think I've missed a vid. Just a bit late watching them 😬.
Your enthusiasm, knowledge but willing to learn really gets me involved in the video and its content. It's the old saying, you never stop learning especially on something you enjoy.
2 things that I made this video special to me is the fact I've been there previously but now have a new reason to visit. One of my favourite photos is of the fox population in the Inari. And my set of the Kyoto photos are so special to me.
And the other is seeing, at 1:56, the car that has stolen my heart and is now my daily (on the right 😂). Seeing the WRX STI in its home county looking so resplendent haha!
happy to have you here! (^-^)
😊😊 Ancient,Beautiful and Epic 👑💖
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!
Awesome a new adventure! I love learning stuff only locals know about!
me too~
Yours is such a wonderful channel, I'm so glad to have found it. 9:53 on this video is beautiful
Absolutely gorgeous hike! Thank you for sharing, Norm! Can't wait for the next adventure!
