  • WHY THE VILLAGE WAS ABANDONED: • Why Was This Japanese ...
    Inside an abandoned Japanese village tucked into the mountains. While its not uncommon to find an abandoned building here or there in Japan, an entire village is something else entirely... And today, we are exploring it, in 12K (because sometimes "too much" is just the right amount)

    Time to strap eight 8k cameras together and give the people the 64k they deserve.

    **WHY WAS THIS VILLAGE ABANONED? FULL DOCUMENTARY HERE: **ua-cam.com/video/BDPT6q_4OHY/v-deo.html** **
    So... this might have been overkill lol but at least its an amazing location!!
    EDIT: So happy so many want to see more! This was pretty much the whole village, but there are more small ones in the area and we ARE going back to capture more and tell the full story! Thank you all! You guys rock!! ♥️
    What Would You Do? Would you visit an abandoned village like this on your own?
    Let me know what you think in the comments below!

    Chris clearly tricked you into upping your own camera game for when he hires you next. Additionally, you have tricked Chris into perpetually hiring you by having the ultimate final form camera skills. Well played lads.
