  • 🍂In the verdant embrace of central Japan's high mountains lies an almost-deserted farm road, a path that time seems to have forgotten. This video offers a poignant journey into Japan's rich agrarian past, painting a vivid picture of abandoned farmsteads and echoes of lives once lived in rhythm with the land.
    The silence here speaks volumes. The whispering wind carries tales of generations that tilled this soil, sowed seeds, and reaped harvests. Each rustling leaf, every creaking wooden beam, hints at stories of joy, sorrow, love, and loss. This video, one of the most significant in my collection, seeks to preserve and honor these memories before they fade entirely into the annals of time.
    The entirety of this day-long adventure, hiking and unraveling the mysteries of this hidden gem, has been documented and spread across multiple channels, culminating in the official playlist titled "Japan Abandoned Farm Hike" on the UA-cam Bullet Train channel. Experience the full scope of this journey through the provided playlist link.

    There is something so calming about this, everything from the tone of your voice to the sounds of the environment you're in. Reminds me of ASMR videos.

    Couldn't stop watching, so I put it in 1080, fullscreened it and watched it all the way through, start-to-finish. Really incredible stuff. Fascinating to imagine what it was like when it was inhabited and in its prime. Thanks for making the effort to film all of this and uploading it for us to view. Found it all extremely interesting from the old buildings to the amazing scenery. Awesome stuff.

    Fabulous tour! I always thought that I wanted to hike the backwoods of Japan .. the amazing beauty and tranquility ... right .. I enjoyed your trek through the wilderness .. my goodness .. I'm cured of ever wanting to wander around in Japan. Keep making these videos though so I can sit in my armchair and enjoy your efforts.

    I came across this video and intended to skim it, but ended up watching the whole thing. It was fascinating! I loved your explanations of what we were seeing, I'm definitely going to check out your other videos of abandoned buildings...though I hope you take a torch next time!
    The waterfall with the rickety bridge and your reaction to finding the bathroom were my favourite bits! Thanks for posting, I'll probably never see anything like this in person but at least I can see your videos!

    Hello Kurt
    I just started watching your vídeos since a few days ago (the abandoned Japan ones) and have I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for each one of these videos I've been seen. Not everyone can make a dream come true by going to japan. But through you hikes, at least I can feel you care for people like me. Of course I want to say much more but, I´ll have that chance. For now, PLEASE, make more vídeos from your hikes and very long ones ok?
    I wish you the best :)

    Having lived in the mountains with bears for 14 years, I can tell you those bells are actually bear attractants. Sub adult male bears (which are the most numerous types) are very curious and are the biggest troublemakers as well, It's better to whistle, sing, or talk rather than wear "dinner bells."

    Thank you sharing this with the world, I saw the length and never intended to watch the whole thing. But you kept me hooked, with the raw beauty of the hauntingly serene abandonment.
    (the leech on the nose made me crack up as well!) I could put this video on and not even watch, the sounds of the scenery are just so peaceful, thanks again! I had a very good time watching

  • @richt63
    @richt63 Рік тому +3

    Fantastic. But I think what you found was not an outhouse, it was a bathing house. What's more I think it was either a logging camp or a small village that was involved in logging.

    You probably get this from everybody, but I really enjoy your videos. You are doing what I can only wish to do. I remember the video where you filmed the farm with the koi in the pond and the 2 neighbors. That is how I wish to live, have a family, and grow old. In the nice quiet countryside. And again your videos are fantastic, keep up the good work.
