Inside Kyoto's Mountain Shrine At Night | Fushimi Inari
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лис 2020
- In the dark of night, completely empty, we explore the gates of Kyoto's Fushimi inari Shrine. While its famously said to have 10,000 torii gates that wind up the mountain, the real number is north of 30,000! And we climb through them to the top of the mountain in the dark!

I'm having a great day! I hope you're having a great day too. Thank you for this video, it felt like a birthday gift. 😘
Ah yes the famous Fushimi Inari pipe bucket!
Norm those closing shots from your first visit are so cute 😭
I'm so glad you got a better camera and went back some day, taking from your last video, just adds to the inspiration!
Beautifully shot as always mate!
Thanks eh~
Grateful to be able to capture and share it~
@abroadinjapan you guys should do a flight giveaway like @tokyolens ✈️ 🇯🇵 it’s an amazing idea to boost engagement and fulfill peoples dreams!
'we're gonna get a better camera someday and comeback' :)
Did the same thing last year. On the way down, there was an actual fox sitting on the path. Awesome!
That’s amazing!
Would have loved to come across a fox
Straight up vibin' with Inari.
Might have been a kitsune
You should've followed the fox it would've taken you to a shrine
@@ByyakoKitsune69 "Kitsune" just means "fox". There's no special meaning to it at all.
Foxes are Inari-sama's messengers. All foxes.
It's believed by some that all foxes are *bewitching foxes*, yōko, 妖狐, "kitsune" to Westerners. So depending on your school of belief? That *was* a yōko.
Walking around this area by yourself at night will give you goosebumps. Beautiful but very eerie.
One of my friends complained that Fushimi Inari was "too busy" (he went in the middle of the day, but when I visited at 7am we were all alone :-) One of my fav places in all of Japan
Same here. I could go there again and again. If I lived in Kyoto that might be my exercise route haha
@@thenicflynn many people do use it for exercising in fact
The sheer scale of the Fushimi Inari is astonishing!
We visited Fushimi Inari in the evening last year. It was not completely empty, but not many peolpe were there.
It's really beatiful when you have this place for yourself. Like something out of a movie.
Also, we saw a boar just a few meters away from the path, so be careful! And lots of giant spider nets around the lights.
Woah, I don't know why that end gave me goosebumps. The flashback to 2005 was a beautiful touch
Take me somewhere cool one day🥺
And great video Norm, you were right about everything👁
My first trip to japan back in 2017. I made the choice to go at night instead of the day for various reasons and I can't imagine doing it again any other way. The experience during the evening/night is so surreal and breathtaking
Fushimi Inari at night is the best experience ever. It's always almost empty and makes it even more magical (minus the mokeys and boars, their pretty scary at night).
I've been there last time in 2016 and there was no signs or directions either! They must be pretty recent.
We hiked this at 9 at night and there was like no one there except the cats that greet you are various points on the path. Definitely a unique experience and a great way to avoid the crowds. Nicely shot as well Norm!
Thanks so much eh!!
The night nuance feel so surreal and somehow mystic yet dreamy
Ahh, this brings me memories of my trip to Japan. I visited Fushimi Inari shrine at night around 8 pm, and there were barely 10 people in the whole shrine, it was beautiful!
I also encountered 3 boars! very scary.
I really liked the shots you've taken! keep it up!
The paths less visited in this shrine gives me the chills and it's even creepier when its dark.
A little late but here still, when I went to that beautiful place I just couln´t get to the very top because of my itinerary but it is such a wonderful experience to be there and now I definetely want to go at night someday!! The last part of the video where you show the old footage was the best, achieving goals and dreams, realizing you have got this far an still going up, it is amazing!!
This is definitely on my bucket list.
Also Victor's hair is magnificent
The change in vibes during the night and day wow. Thanks for always showing a different side of Japan, Norm.
Wow, I’m really amazed. I have this “Ahh it takes me back” feeling after watching your last footage. Man, that really inspires me to do more in life.
Visited fushimi inari in 2018... Really a magic place! Seeing it at dark really add something to its vibes... Fantastic fantastic video!
There's just something about videos of these places being filmed at night 👌🏻Amazing background music as well~
Thanks Norm for the blast from the past! Me and a friend went to Fushimi inari for the first time in 2017, at midnight in the pouring rain. We met about 2 other visitors. On the way down from the top we took a wrong turn and ended up on a dirt road next to a bamboo forest full of boar-warning signs before we suddenly found ourselves in a quiet neighborhood. Eerily quiet and no movement anywhere. After being lost for quite a while we saw a taxi going in to the neighborhood and luckily managed to catch it going out! Saved by a lonely cab driver!
On 2018 i was in Kyoto for 5 days. Arrived in the 5am night bus. It was an amazing experience. I got to accidentally access Fujimi inari taisha from a back road that goes almost to the top and then get all the way down to the main access. Just beautiful. Still got my night visiting pending for a future trip.
This was so nostalgic to watch! I went there alone at night last year, springtime and it was amazing! It was raining at the time, which just added to the ambience. I hope I can go back soon!
Honestly loved going to Fushimi Inari at night was the best experience. Also as a cat lover, bring cat food. Lots of stray kitties that will come out to greet you.
I am new to the channel, and I have never had the pleasure of traveling outside of the U.S., but you can tell right away the love and passion you have not just for Tokyo, but all of Japan. It’s really lovely to see. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for taking us along with you! Beautiful video and shots it's like watching a mini documentary, just makes me want to visit someday even more!
„We‘ll get a better camera someday and come back“ - I wonder if past Norm knew that he would be right ;)
I loved this video! The Fushimi Inari shrine is still in my Top 3 places in Japan I want to see! Also the music was just fantastic, it gave the video kind of a dreamy/mysterious vibe- i cant explain but i reallllly loved it! :) ~ Always happy to be notification squad ❤️
One of the best channels in japan Tokyo Lens.
Wow, Norm. I was just looking over my old Fushimi Inari pictures this weekend, reminiscing. Thank you for letting us see it in a different way. The beauty of Japan still takes hold of my heart. ❤🤗
This was really cool! I love the quality of light at dawn. What a great adventure. Thank you for bringing us along.
oh my gosh, the background music in this video is literally amazing!! it fits the theme of the video so perfectly. but the very end... that’s what got to me the most. baby Norm coming back and keeping his promise. really hit the emotions right there!
I always watching your videos there's always that feeling of relaxing, keep up the good works guys!
I've been here at night, definitely one of the highlights of my trip. Wanted to squeeze it in and I was so glad I did. No crowds, beautiful overlook, so quiet and atmospheric.
Did hear a boar roaming around though, definitely got the heart started. Met a lovely irish couple on my way down, helped me relax after the boar
A night visit to Fushimi Inari is likely one of the things I would want the most if I were to ever visit Japan, the atmosphere of it seem amazing.
Loving the choice of background music too.
Still working my way through all things on all the channels. Thank you for amazing content! It has helped me rest mentally and physically over the past few weeks.
Man, I love your video so much. The tone, the background music, the shot, everything is so astounding. You deserve much more attention from these videos.
Rewatching this in 2024. One of my all time favorites!
Oh man, I did this exact same thing a couple years ago and I think it’s still my favourite memory from Japan. Completely magical! Thanks for letting me reminisce, can’t wait for part 2!
..spectacular indeed👍🏼👍🏼 you can tell your 2005 self that you did it!! you came back and gave the true amazingness of that place justice😎
Wow, beautiful!!! Definitely on our must see list when we eventually visit Kyoto. We're starting our research now, so when things are safe again, we'll be ready! I didn't realize there were so many paths around the shrine. Plenty for a day of exploring! Thanks for the tour!
There's a bucket. Amazing.
Beautiful footage, as usual x
This one was already on my list from watch your video over a year ago, but the excitement has been reignited!
Astonishing place at night and a gem of a video. Truly loved the end -- what a twist to end with! And Victor's hair is magnificent.
I absolutely LOVE this! Whenever I get to Japan, I'm going to do this. It's hauntingly beautiful. Thank you so much for these incredible videos Norm.
Thank you...it's wonderful to see Fushimi Inari Taisha empty...amazing...hope to see it again next April...greetings from Prague...
Thanks for doing this video. Went there twice but not fit enough to climb more than 2 stretches of the torii tunnel. With this video, I got to see what's there up on the hill. And the night view is mesmerizing!
Spectacular video, the production value is amazing. I was here in 2014 and remember it fondly, thanks for showing it to us.
Thank you~
Another really beautiful effort. The photography, lighting, composition and editing are all spot on. I have been to Fushimi Inari, but it was several years ago and during the day. Completely different atmosphere with the daylight and the crowds. Very smart move to do it at night and greet the dawn. Bravo.
Kyoto is a lovely place. Loved the night tour and the promise you made, you were able to fulfil :)
I think this is one of my favorite videos so far. As someone with a sun allergy, night time exploration is my friend lol. This place is so breathtakingly beautiful…I think I’d end up there all night just wandering the paths.
Thank you for returning at night. This was such a beautiful video! I feel like I would break down in tears at the top.
Brings back memories. Thanks for the video.
Norm, this is so wonderful!! You have worked a lot on your editing skills and it shows--these past videos this year have been amazing. What a cool experience to have shared with Viktor. I have to say, you have inspired me to explore my area more (esp since travel is so restricted right now), and to go EARLY--it's SUCH a different vibe when there are few to no people in an area. I've learned to love and appreciate nature more and have enjoyed taking photos. Thank you for this!!
this has quickly become one of my favorite videos you have ever done , thank you
So calm and peaceful. This week has been stressful. This helped. Thank you!
Visiting Fushimi Inari at night is definitely on my bucket list. Awesome!
And incredible how bright your camera can make those scenes.
Looks gorgeous at night!
Thank you for another beautiful video and keeping our spirits lifted 😁
old video, but I've been watching all your stuff recently. I'm a thread crochet artist (so normally sitting at my home desk) so I very much appreciate your video adventures so much! I love seeing hidden gems, bright/happy people, the willingness to share from strangers, all of the adventures! Such a gentle channel
Thanks so much 😃
Choice of music and shots are beautiful!!
Such a beautiful place. Can see how one could spend all day exploring it. Loved the flashback to little Norm at the end ❤️
A beautiful video for a beautiful place. And so funny seeing difference between the old camera footage and the new one. Technology has really grown in its quality and power.
Started my day with this video. Made for a wonderful morning. Thanks as always brother!
It got slightly scary (to me) when we went late evening to Fushimi Inari in 2019, the "thickness" of the darkness caused us to turn back around halfway up.
That would be my concern. My night vision is terrible, plus throw in stairs. Guess we'll live vicariously thru Norm!
I'd have to bring a flash light 😁😂
I'm so glad you made it back :)
Also, it's so cool that you can explore places like that at night. Everything around here gates up and closes down at sunset.
Awesome video! It all looks amazing, it is definitely something I would love to go to sometime.
I come back to this vid quite often; it’s on the bucket list for sure. Beautiful camera work Norm!
This seemed so peaceful. I was amazed at the amount of lights they have there. I do see why people may get lost. At the same time, it just means there is plenty to explore and enjoy.
Ur videos are making me fall in love with Japan.... Its just yesterday noon I came across ur video in recommendation n i started watching....... Bro its just giving me peace watching each n every video..... beauty of Japan ✌️.... Love from India...
Oh wow, this was magical. Especially with the slow, contemplative music. Thank you so much for filming this and taking us on this journey. I think when I go to bed now (as it's 2 am as I write this comment) I can sleep peacefully, dreaming of Japan, thanks to you :) Greetings from Germany! ♥
Thank you SO much for making this video. I've been to Japan 3 times and Fushimi Inari twice. Both times I've turned up mid afternoon and caught the sunset from that main lookout spot about 2/3 of the way up. I've had the pleasure of descending the mountain in the dark. It's a truly wonderful place and you've perfectly captured the beauty and mystery of Fushimi Inari at night time. This video means a lot to me because it's the kind of video I'd love to make myself, if I was a competent filmmaker, and in these strange times, I don't know when I can visit again. Thank you!
OMG that ending with the old video was just perfect! Love your work Norm
I respect Norm destroying his sleep schedule to bring us such quality content. Having only seen the Fushimi inari Shrine on a busy, sweaty September day, it's been very interesting seeing another side of it. I can only begin to imagine how different the vibe is at night.
the last sentence :D a man of pure focus and sheer freaking will!
Very cool video, heading here in a few weeks, very excited!
This is so sick, had me just in the zone watching. I like your take on commentary, it's free flowing and vibrant. Good stuff Norm!
Your exploration videos are so refreshing and calming.
Yess been looking forward to another one of your videos!!!!!
This is a really exciting clip. On first watch was absolutely amazed by the camera. Am a night owl and have rarely seen a night time adventure caught equally well ⛩. The music goes so well with the clip. The ending is beautiful
This place and that view are so very beautiful!
This was an amazingly beautiful journey I love it. Thank you for bringing it to me who can't travel yet.
Thank you so much for making these great videos, showing the beatuy of Japan to people (like myself) who can't go there (yet, one day i hope).
It is just Spectacular.
Thank you one more time.
I spent the whole video wondering if you were going to show my favorite alcove and then at the last moment you showed the pipe bucket waterfall. Thanks for letting me vicariously visit again!
Thanks for uploading this! I’m a Fushimi native but I can only go back there once every 1 - 2 years as am currently living in the US. Unfortunately, I’ve visited Fushimi Imari only for a couple of times in my entire life so I’m glad to find this video on UA-cam!
Absolutely beautiful choice in music! Really gave a mysterious, beautiful, and slight creepy vibe.
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful, calming & a little spooky. I luv it.
Such a quiet place so peaceful
Many thanks bro for your cool videos and great podcasts! Wish you a good luck!
Amazing. I didn't realize that it is open after dark. Thank you!
This video is amazingggg. Makes me wanna head to Japan right now! And I love your sound effects! More videos like these pleasee.
Absolutely beautiful video, Norm! I wish I have the chance to visit this place in future! Thank you so much for sharing! Can’t wait to see your next video! Your fan from Vancouver!
Wow, now I really want to go there both at night and day! What a gorgeous hike.
Oh wow! Fushimi Inari is just mesmerizing at night with that bright, beautiful moon and not a single tourist! I really enjoyed seeing parts of the videos you took in 2005!! So awesome! Man, I can't wait to move to Japan. 😭
You guys are awesome. This is my dream trip I thought of last year, but I gave up to do this.
I think this might be my favourite video of yours. The old footage at the end just tops it off.
I love Fushimi Inari. Was there in spring of 2019. started the climb around 6:30am and pretty much spent the entire morning up in the mountain just walking and exploring. I didn't even notice the time until I went back down and the entrance was a hub of activity! Shops were open, tourist groups were there, it was just such a stark difference to the trickle of human activity when I started the climb.
Watching this as I walk home from another late night shoot in asakusa is perfect. Great video man.
I'll definitely need to go back there at night... stunning! I'm sure it was very peaceful and quiet - good for meditation
Thank you for sharing! Although I cannot currently go myself to see its beauty in sunrise, I really appreciate your video & all the nostalgic feels :)
