Exploring Japan's Beautiful Post Town | Narai Juku -- @TokyoLens

i bet those are chinese😂

Love being back here through you Norm, my favourite hike trail probably is the Nakasendo

You just give the most amazing vibes Norm … big fan here.

Have been following along on the live streams but missed this one and it has been so fascinating and beautifully tranquil. Can’t wait to see more adventures with the insane amount of footage you captured on this trip. Appreciate all your hard work and sharing these amazing locations with us ❤

Man I can’t say just how much I enjoyed the adventures and walks , thank you so much for your effort ❤

Really magical adventure! Thank you, Norm ^_^ One Love

First of all: thank you so much for this adventure, all the streams and videos!
Has been so much fun looking forward to what you'd be sharing with us every day.
Hope you got home safe, stay healthy and see you again o/

Thank you Norm from the bottom of my heart ❤️ I have enjoyed every second and millisecond of this adventure with you. Hugs across the ocean love from Australia 🦘❤

Thank you for sharing your day in Narai Juku. It brought back some wonderful memories from 2017 when my family and I stayed in a minshuku there. I still remember so fondly one of the shops there in the Main Street where an elderly woman was selling her husband’s artwork. He had sadly passed away a few years earlier but she was keeping their family business going. I bought two pictures from her which I had framed and are hanging here in my house in Australia. Thank you again for this lovely video.

I hope you realise Norm that if you ever end straight away with no secret ending you are going to have us phoning emergency services to come help you :D

So beautiful, I wish I could see a place like that one day. Thank you for sharing an amazing little town!

Wow, what a fantastic place to finish your journey. I visited Narai as part of my trip last year, and I was awed by how beautiful the town was. Seeing it through your lens, I was again struck by is beauty. Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane, and I look forward to your next video!

I love seeing these kinds of towns, thank you for sharing.

What a great finale of that week. I'm so glad I accidentally came across your 1,000,000 Seconds in Japan adventure.

Great stuff as always Norm, but can you please stop adding places to my ever growing wishlist!

Congrats on the awesome series. The abandoned school and rainy days were my favorites.

Norm! I discovered your channel recently and I've been going through many of your videos in the last month. I would love to go to Japan sometime soon, but unfortunately it is not in the cards for me just yet. I wanted to say THANK YOU so much for all your amazing content and live streams! Your charisma, passion and authenticity make me so happy, and through your videos I'm really able to feel like I'm actually in Japan every day. This brings me SO much joy! Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to go on more adventures with you :)

I was across the border in BC without data when you streamed this one, thanks for the VOD!

Hello Norm, lurking here since covid. But your thrift store videos got me into your channel. And the long Japanese countryside walks kept me subscribed. Your positive stories of Japan and it's people are always amazing.

As an artist my sketchbooks are filled With bamboo forests and abandoned shrines. Keep up the good talks and great videos!

Hi Norm! I'm bummed I missed the live! Honestly 2 hours wasn't enough to explore that gorgeous town! I look forward to the follow up Videos. Much love from Idaho!

Hi norm thank you so much for these beautiful walks I've thoughtly enjoyed them all. much appreciated. and I can't wait to see what you have in-store next.luv from the uk 👍❤️❤️

Sadly could not catch it live. This town (aswell as others on the Nakasendo trail) is absolutely Stunning definetly on my list of places to visit if i ever make it to Japan.
So beautiful and serene, thanks for making this Stream aswell as your older Video on the Nakasendo trail.
The enitre 1 million seconds journey was really delightful thank you for taking us with you.

Dream Location

Hi, i missed the last two live due to being out and about with mom. She walked the kika 10km city today to raise funds for kid cancer. We walked besides those 10km in two cities. We had an hotel for yesterday evening. I just came home and started watching this one . 😊

Amazing!!! I absolutely love landscapes like this, and you are certainly immersed within. Great videos Brother!

Thank you Norm for the 1000000 secs. The one thing that many of these old beautiful streets have in common, is that they put all the ugly overhead power and phone lines underground. It makes such a difference.

Really enjoyed this live stream series, thank you Norm!

Hi Norm! Thanks for all the videos. I’ve watched many, but have never commented. You helped inspire my families first trip to Japan last year. We loved it so much that we are coming back again in the fall! My favorite video from this trip was the abandoned school in Wakayama.

Watch it live and keep rewatching it about 4 times still like a healing trip. I wish I could take this trip either way family of 2 kids

Thanks to your video in 2021, I hiked a part of the Nakasendo with my mum in autumn last year. When we arrived in Narai juku, it just started snowing ❄️ Such a magical sight! One of my best memories. Thanks for inspiring me to go there and for bringing me back through this stream 😁

That Tim Hortons tirade sounded like an alien language.

What an amazing town. I must go one day and explore all that regicon! Thank you for sharing all this beautiful views.

I love the little path in the woods/mountain above/alongside the road

Fabulous job on the 'oh no must reconnect the stream' run. Definitely speeder no Endor vibe 🤣

Wow, what a two-fer. First the town walk followed by the bear walk. I'm sorry that I couldn't catch this one live, but now that I've finally gotten to it, maybe you'll see this comment in one of the airports on your way over. Looking forward to saying "Welcome to Raleigh" in a couple of days, Norm! Have a good trip!

American here, from the upper Midwest and the 'Canadian speech' made perfect sense to me.

Wow! What an opening shot 😍
The whole town is so stunning and you've captured it well.
Also, I think the charming guy was meant to be you!

Beautiful ❤️

This is the real deal. I don't see one tourist. Kudos to you for discovering the real Japan.

Awesome livestream as always Norm. These livestreams have such a treat I’ve always been interested in all things about Japanese culture and your livestreams I get to see the path less traveled in Japan. Thanks for always sharing your adventures with us keep up the great work Norm.

Wasn't able to catch the streams live, but I've enjoyed them all so much! I've had them on during times at work and while I do chores at home and it's been so relaxing to get to "walk" through Japan through you while I get things done. It's helped me get through some stressful days and I thank you for what you do, Norm!

I work a very boring desk job and your streams are like little windows of adventure to peek into to help me with get through my day. Thank you so much. God i hate my job. Lmaooo.

Bears can run at 60km/h, scary stuff 😱

Because you talk about coffee, I'd like to recommend two channels. Morgan Drinks Coffee and James Hoffman are both championship baristas who talk about how to make great coffee. Both are worth checking out IMO.

Hello Norm. How do you not eat your Sakuma drops? I could not help myself when I bought some when they were being discounted.

Love your videos! You asked people whether they think it is worth going to Kyoto. I think it is - such a wide variety of things to see. Mountain temples, people enjoying every day life along the Kamo river, the creative little shops, the sheer variety of everything. Walking with no particular destination along "unfashionable" allyways.. But I agree - the mountains/countryside is the best! I'm in my mid 60''s and for 6 years (pandemic excluded) have been visiting Japan (solo) every 6 months for a few weeks at a time. I don't drive, but I've become more adventurous with regional trains and buses and google maps directions are fabulous! (ps I do give Tokyo & Osaka a miss)

Woops - forgot to mention - Abandoned village my favourite in million minutes series

Such a peaceful, beautiful walk. I loved all the water in the area, all the hidden gems. My favorite stop was the shrine. I think I could sit there all day. Thank you again for another gorgeous adventure!

It has meant so much to me to have all of you here for these streams!
If you had a favourite moment or location so far, I would love to hear it.
But for now, I just want to express my gratitude to you all for making this possible And I will see you again… Real Soon
