  • Exploring inside of Japan's coolest shrine. Embeded in the mountains about 2 hours south of Tokyo in an area with a long history, called Kamakura, there is a shrine that beats all others. A place that gives off literally ALL of the ghibli vibes, and today... this is our destination. As we walk through the streets of Kamakura, welcome to our first full adventure here on Tokyo Lens Expore!

      You always manage to find such beautiful places to visit! I love these long form/streams as it shows places you never normally see. It also gives me ideas for my month long trip which is now October/November 2022.
      Thanks for the quality content.

      Japan does have some awesome shrines and temples. My last Japanese ex had a temple book *the one where you can get the temple block stamp in each page* I have mine in my desk drawer here in China. Awesome places to visit if you're into that.

    I want to get lost in Japan for a while. That would be fun. Not constrained or stressed by following a schedule and just wandering in a new country fully taking everything in.
    Thank you for sharing your experiences and making us feel like we are there with you.

    I actually wouldn't mind having these types of recordings every once in a while. High quality 1 hr~ish walks of you just talking. Live streams out 'n about can get blurry/pixely, so actually being able to see everything clearly for once is nice.

    I didnt even know there is such a wonderful shrine in Kamakura. It looks very mystical - these greenery on the rocks, torii gate stuck to the wall, tunnel. Thank you for showing it to me. I like that you talk with passion and energy.

    I just discovered your channel a month ago and have absolutely enjoyed every minute since. I was fortunate enough to take a group of students to Japan for ten days a few years ago and have been dreaming about going back since. Your channel gives me the feeling of being there and exploring with you, which I love. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!

    The café at the entrance to the shrine has some of the best coffee I've ever had and it has a beautiful window view over the pond. There's also a surprising number of realllllly cool cars in Kamakura. I saw a few FD RX7s, SW20 MR2s, some RA Subaru Imprezas and a guy with a Mustang Fastback coming out of the KFC. Kamakura is a super cool place.

    Due to timezones and work scheduling I have a hard time catching your livestreams, but being able to explore Japan with you virtually is something I'll forever be grateful for.

    Watching this video gave me so much nostalgia. I felt as though I was walking with you through Kamakura, easily one of my favorite places in Japan. I would LOVE if you did a full video about this shrine on your main channel, as it is my favorite shrine out of my journeys. Kamakura just has such a special feeling too it. Something there is different and I miss it.
    Thanks so much for the great video Norm!

    This shrine really fits that mental image most people have of a traditional Japanese shrine, but it’s still absolutely gorgeous. Getting the whole space basically to yourself at times is a stroke of luck!

    I love streams/recordings like this because to me it shows a more 'real' side of Japan. It looks like an average day over there but it is just so beautiful. I also watch Rambalac quite often for similar content, though it is nice to have a voice to listen to once in a while.
