Also... what do you think of these [ALL ONE SHOT] non-edited vids
I like to keep these ones on the Explore channel! Let me know if youd like to see more!!
If I was needing a place to stay for over a week but less than a couple months, it would be perfect. I could cook for myself and clean my laundry but no extra services. Would a tourist want an extended stay in that area?
@@TokyoLensExploreI love videos like this! Just as much as the edited, curated ones. Everything you do is fun and interesting and I truly enjoy the content you put out and being a member of Patreon. Thanks for all you do Norm. Can't wait to meet one day! :)
I’m really excited about this news letter.
I want to take a trip to Japan and go on a Norm route.
The real MVP is Norm's hair for staying perfectly in place even in high winds.
I'm so used to you showing us really tiny apartments, that I found this one quite spacious 😅
Compared to the 'norm' LOL!! the space is huge.
That was far less tiny than I had expected, seemed like a really nice apartment and I could easily see myself staying at a place like that for some time.
Me too^^
most hotel rooms i've had during my trips in japan were tinier than this place.
These are legitimately my favorite videos because it feels more realistic than big travel blogs. Like this is clearly a real place that real people stay at. In fact, it's almost like getting a digital postcard from a friend who wants to share their travels with someone who couldn't come along. Which is wonderful :)
Norm said he injured himself again. Which makes me wonder about his past with martial arts and drifting and how did he make it this far without losing limb or worst.
lol its truly a miracle lol
Clearly his injuries only apply to everyday scenarios
@@EmberMoonprincess92 His name is Norm so he breaks himself
Norm has casual advanced regenerative abilities. He’s lost all his limbs at least twice.
What did you drift ? Where can i find the vids i'm big car guy
360 mountain views, that's something I'd love to have. No wonder it's so windy. I bet during the spring and summer those mountains are gorgeous.
they truly are!
I just love your calm and soothing demeanor. When I am stressed, your channel is a place I seek! Take care.
Love to see any small glimpse into places I wouldn't normally get to visit. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for tagging along!!
I think the whole hotel setup is amazing! So carefully thought out with enough shared spaces to compensate for the basic rooms. Clean, bright and inviting. It really makes you think about the amount of wasted space we have in North American housing. It would probably be too confining for some people (and, as you pointed out, there's a potential for head injuries!🤣) but it shows what can be done with small spaces if care is taken in the design and planning. Thank you for the tour. I enjoyed it immensely!. Also, thanks for not blowing off the roof in that wind! I know you want to fly, but that is definitely not the way!😂
@phillydisco Sadly, I think you are probably right. This is not to say that in Japan you find people who do not take care of their surroundings (that happens everywhere) and in this particular case, it's a hotel so people that come here have self-imposed behaviours that are culturally expected of "guests". In North America, there is a sense of entitlement that, in extreme cases, leads to the kind of hotel horror stories you hear about. That being said, I think the model of space utilization would be appropriate for low-income housing, so long as the residents feel that they have a stake in keeping the place in good nick.
It may be "wasted space", but we aren't short on space. And I don't think anyone would willing do without a private bathroom at home.
If Americans were a little more comfortable with shared facilities, hotels could definitely serve more people, though.
Norm is definitely that friend you call to hang out when you just need good, positive vibes and you get the best refresh.
a.k.a, me here watching this video and absorbing good, positive vibes
Norm, we also enjoy spending this time with you. It’s weirdly calming and a great way to de stress to just check out these cool spaces with you. It also gives me ideas of places to check out because I will visit Japan one day.
I'm learning about how wonderful a country Japan is vicariously through you thank you
I remember the hermit in the mountains - one of my favorites! It was so obvious the amount of work you put into that one. I recall you were corresponding with the only person who could get you to the elderly gentleman. Not just anyone could go there and you could not get there by car. I can see why the process was long, but your hard work paid off! That video touched me and still affects me to this day. I hope you are someday able to do a follow-up on him.
As for smaller but still interesting content, it's just great to see an upload from TokyoLens!
Thanks for the tour, it's a really cool place!
Take care! ❤️
Beautiful living space!! Knowing nothing about Japanese life I find these just fascinating!! Hope you reach your viewer goal!! 💙
That's a quaint place to stay. I like the café and the rooftop bbq space.😊
reeeeally wanted to do a bbq
but I figured the meat would blow away lol
@TokyoLensExplore Lol! Yeah, it was a bit windy.🤣
algorithm so good nowadays, i didn't even realize this was a side channel until you mentioned it.
I would most definitely stay there if I could! My favorite part was the rooftop bbq area. I love the feeling of wind on your face and the views! Those clouds and the mountains were a beautiful play of light and shadow, and I can just imagine what having a nice, hot cup of coffee there would be like. Thank you for sharing such a lovely place with us.
Absolutely would stay here! It has such cute and cozy calm vibes!! And even though that rooftop was crazy windy, I feel like that gorgeous view would be worth it!!!
that view is definitely gold!
Such a great video. I prefer these intimate videos myself, so it’s great to see you continuing to push out content. Well done.
I always enjoy these little tours. You do a lot of great work showing us all the gems and beauty Japan has to offer the world.
Loving all your videos, but mostly the improvised, casual nature of this kind of video. I also really loved the abandoned places explorations you did.
One day! I have been saying this every year for the past 40 years that one day I will go see Japan... :( and every year something gets in the way. I would sell my spleen to be able to spend a month or lifetime in Japan. Lucky for me, I can find youtubers/creators that share their love of this country and the passion for their culture. thank you for sharing I cannot wait till I see your next adventure. I would love to visit this cool little hotel/apartment!
That is a very nice room. Has everything I would need for a three or more week stay. Happy happy…
Love your enthusiasm in all your videos. You manage to make the ordinary "extraordinary". Sure wish you could visit Sakura days in Vancouver. I missed it last year.
Agreed!
Wow! Your flat was much bigger than I thought; and I misunderstood as you were calling it a room and showing us the communual toilets and showers, I thought you just had a room. That's a flat with living, sleeping, bathroom and kitchen! It looks great!
I love your main channel vids, and appreciate how much time and effort you put into them. But I also love videos like these. You are really good at explaining Japanese culture. I have learned a lot from you over the years. I'm finally going to be putting all that knowledge to use in October, coming to Japan for a month. Can't wait to see the Japanese streets at night and relaxing and exploring. Thanks for all you do, and congrats on the impending 1m subs! Awesome job Norm.
Waaaaa love the colorful slide bath already!! Definitely I’m staying here🤩🎉 how do you find such a hidden neat place to stay always, Tokyo Lens?!❤️
That bath just looked like so much fun!
You're always coming up with these really cool places!! I also love the pure joy and excitement whenever you do show us these places!
Much love from Arizona 💜💜
Compared to the spaces we usually see you in... you could've told us this room was Tokyo Dome and it'd be believable, it's practically massive compared to most of them. You can full arm spread multiple times over in multiple directions in that room unlike many of the others where you'd be lucky to get elbow room in at least one dimension.
I really enjoy your videos. My brother has lived in Japan for over 20 years. I have been to visit once and really loved it.
Your videos give me more of a view of other areas in Japan other than where my brother lives and when I visited Mt Fuji and Tokyo.
Early congratulations on 1 million subs! I have loved your channel for years and can't wait to see it grow further.
What a nice building and apartment I could definitely picture myself living or staying here.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay here! It looks like a lovely, fun place to be, relaxing, colourful - and a cat space too! Thank you for this video, Norm, all the videos of yours that I've seen so far I've watched right until the end (which doesn't happen with all the videos I watch on here) and your content is always insightful, entertaining and very interesting and your explanations about things that people might not necessarily think of, like the washer/driers, is really helpful too because that's something I would make sure to remember if I was visiting there myself. Thank you for the amount of sheer hard work you put into making your videos - your number of subscribers is testament to how good your content is.
This space is insane. Really love the Kagoshima vids!
glad you enjoyed it!!
love your content Norm! Thanks for your hard work
I have a question, all the rooms are like yours? Or there's room without private bathroom/ kitchen and that's why the building have common bathrooms and kitchen?
Good place for the family
Wow what a beautiful spot, love all those amenities, seems like a very chill environment.
That place looks SO cool.
1:33 Norm Tentatively approaches a door wondering if it's the bath space, goes in carefully, camera first
I just found your channel today as I’m visiting Japan in the future and wanted to get some information on the areas I’m interested in visiting. I started watching two hours ago and have enjoyed all of your videos tremendously. I cracked up at the thrift store vid as that reminded me of my sister and I who love thrifting. I’m no longer anxious about visiting Japan thanks to the information you’ve shared in these videos. I hope your body is healing well after your accident as it must have been a shock to your system. Please continue to do your exercises for your hand as they can make the difference in the healing process. The body is extremely resilient. All the best and keep taking us on those beautiful walks in Japanese countryside.💃🏽
I have been watching you for like a year now. I think every video you make is nice, enjoyable and entertaining to watch. Imo there are not many youtubers or people that can do that. Videos that you may take months or years working on and videos that you may take 1-2 hours or even streams that are live, you are in all of them, energetic, happy and you always display your passion for what you are doing.
Thank you for the enjoyable content and hopefully you will continue to find ways to make it interesting and enjoyable for you too.
@7:06 When you were sitting in the awesome looking chair and getting up. I noticed the beautiful looking chandeliar looking lights. It looks like it is made of feathers? Love it. Just Subscribed to this channel, my Canadian Torontonian. 💕💕💕
Thank you, Norm for sharing your space with us and exploring the building! This is why I watch you, plus you're full of knowledge. I hope to visit Japan one day😊
That was such an interesting and well designed space. Thanks for sharing. All the best to everyone.
Ended up on google maps in Kagoshima back in 2017 love the city, its the end point of my cycle trip in may look forward to being there again.
That place is actually really nice. I'd definitely stay there for a more extended period of time. It has everything you need plus more.
I'm glad you're still enjoying content creation. I agree with a good balance of chill walkthrough videos and your bigger projects.
What a great apartment! I love the location and all the amenities and would definitely stay there. In 2010 I was on a long road trip across the US and Canada and I loved how everything I really needed fit in a suitcase and a backpack and I could just get in my car and drive all day to see new things. It was really fun to see how few things I needed to carry around to function.
I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos, Norm. It’s what made me become a Patron!
That looks like such a warm and rad place.
I always appreciate the small town/rural videos. I've been able to visit Japan four times now, and I love visiting the smaller cities - Kagoshima, Aoshima and Miyazaki in Kyushu are all great places to visit! The large cities are also great but I've always found the people in the smaller towns to be super friendly and helpful. I'd love to see a video of Sengan-en in Kagoshima, that estate is beautiful!
I could almost smell this place! I've only been to Japan once and it was over 20 years ago, but the subtle yet distinct odour - and it's not bad - of a Japanese café I can still somehow remember.
I'm subscribed to all 3 channels and love you sharing Japan with us all. You are almost there to 1 million. ❤
Congrats on 1 mill subscribers, Norm! You have been gaining pace since I discovered you - not that long ago. I have been binging your videos - love your content. Especially when you are on and about outside of Tokyo, shrine/hiking/scenery (with the Kei-cars
I presume to speak for All of us. We love seeing anything you show us.
I love the patio spaces and mountain views. This hotel looks like a great place for a long term stay!
Just started watching your channel 2 days ago and I really like your content, can’t stop watching your channel.
Norm! Love this channel and love Tokyo Lens. The livestreams and hikes and hidden shrines are collectively phenomenal. I think to celebrate 1,000,000, I'd love to see a harder climbing hike, maybe to celebrate the climb to one million and recognize the beauty after the climb. I think it would be a beautiful and simply powerful experience to share.
Cool video Norm. I just live reliving my Japan trips through your channel! G'day from Australia.
So fun! I am new to seeing Japanese content and am so impressed with the design and innovation. Thanks!
Another tiny apartment video love the creativity of the people living in these design wise too
It's hard to impress me with small living spaces, and I'm the kind of person who doesn't like many shared spaced, but I'm surprisingly impressed with this. It looks comfortable for both short- and long-term stays, the views are nice, and everything you need is right there.
I do hope your injuries healing well man. Thank you a lot for all the content that you put onto your channels for us to watch. Specially since many may not be able to go to the land of the rising sun any time soon.
The view from the roof is amazing! This is an area I’ve always wanted to visit!
Thank you for the reviews on tiny apartment. My family and I are going on a trip to Japan next year and we’re exited to look at tiny apartments.
You know Norm is gonna be in the bath room playing with the Super Soakers and going down the slide 😂
This looks like such a lovely place to stay! Love your videos Norm! 💕
LOL busted!
Luv all your videos!
I always wondered if other countries have posters of random American letters or sayings like we do of other countries, my question was answered @4:32 XD
This place is super cute. The room is actually a lot larger than I expected. I also was a bathtub slide.
I don't think you have to worry about the hammock chair. The hooks that hold them up are usually rated for ~350-400lbs (158-181kg). Not to say that you shouldn't take care when getting in them (you don't wanna flop onto it like a beat-up couch in a frat house), just that it's not dangerous to sit in.
Thanks for the video Norm! I enjoyed this format and just small tour of just an interesting place. Also I got real Mr. Rogers vibes when you were talking about how you like the smaller platforms for connections. Just nice, wholesome, and felt like you were talking directly to me.
great video, you have a nice Japanese apartment, i like the couch too
I'm so glad you are close to one million! ❤ You deserve it so much, you are such a great guy!
You are so kind
The view outside is pretty too.
Love all the tiny spaces videos.
Wow the scenery is so beautiful thank you for all you do. You are one of my favorite people to watch. The sweater I got from your site is so soft and I get so many compliments on it and I get to share you with people!
This was lovely Norm - we really appreciate your effort! ❤
Norm it is such a joy to join you on your travels. Your way of sharing the local sights, buildings, the culture and thoughts are insightful and informative. Appreciate how respectful you are in considering those around you, structures, actions and spaces that are shared in your videos. Not all places outside of the bigger city areas seem to consistently have instructions/signage in english. How long was it before you were comfortable navigating areas off the beaten path? 🇺🇸🙂
Subscribed recently and loving the content. If your thinking of doing something special for the main channel, maybe just talk about your experience as a foreigner in Japan, like kinda just a reflection from when you started living there to now.
i don't have notifications on for youtube but I'm finally here I love these tiny apartment videos
Seems like a place I could settle in with my Smart Doll Haruka while in Japan.
thats a nice little space
Thanks Norm, greetings from Aruba.
Great little apartment and such an adorable hotel space!
You always produce such fun and informative vids , so happy to watch them . . I actually expected that room to be much smaller , it's pretty much about the size of an American studio apartment. Good luck on your road to a million subs . . cheers!
Thank you so much for your videos. Such positive energy and commitment. I also really really liked the videos about the tiniest shop; it was like cult to watch the purchase of the shop, wow. You set a high standard for video blogs and especially the topics. 👌🏻
Kagoshima is one of my favorites. But it's so far away. :) Last year when I visited I went directly from PDX -> SEA -> HND -> KOJ. I took a cab to the APA hotel in Kirishima and I had no idea I'd see so many Joyfulls (I'd only been to one by my aunt's house in Yamaguchi Prefecture). Turns out Joyfull is mostly a Kyushu family restaurant.
Oh, and I met a very nice obaachan who told me about moving to Kagoshima with her husband after he retired and staying there and how much she liked it (even though her daughter made her give up her car). She warned me about the infrequent trains (everyone else has a car) and told me it was a beautiful place to retire. I meet the nicest people in the middle of nowhere and it's on my (mostly fantasy) list of places I want to move to.
The APA Hotel in Kirishima had excellent breakfast but I was just there on my way to Ibusuki (gotta get buried in hot sand once in my life). I guess the only thing I'd say about the area is don't run through Kagoshima station thinking your Suica is good for the whole trip. Once you get out of the city going south, it's not useful. However, contactless VISA works. In any case, I had a few long conversations back at Kagoshima station having the stationmaster get me out of the hole I'd dug for myself. Perfect place for that, by the way. Not too busy and the stationmaster is very helpful.
Such a cosy space; I'd be thrilled to stay here.
This place looks amazing 😍. I love all the intricate details and how clean it is. I would happily stay there. Stay safe Norm 🫶 and I'm looking forward to your next video
You’ve stumbled upon the coziest place on the planet.
That bathroom space looks like a dream from my childhood 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Supermega impressed face!!! 1:46
Hahaha!
Cool videos!
It’s so lovely to see Japan like this..
(I’m a totally Japanese lover…so, it’s super nice!!)
😊
I love the floors! What an adorable place to stay
I love these little adventures Norm brings us along on.
@9:10 I see the epic camera rig you have for this tour.
As a celebration of 1M subs, how about a then and now with your first Video on the @TokyoLens channel.
In my view, your living the dream! Thank you for your videos.
I love this space I think I would spend my entire time in the cafe.
Mate, compared to your usual stuff this place is enormous and I'd quite happily stay there myself. Some of the others, not so much :D
This looks like an amazing place to stay! You always find and share these gems for us thank you!🤩
I love it! When I visit Japan at the end of the year, if I'm in the area I'll keep this place in mind!
What fun! Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures
