Don't miss this adventure in Otaru near Sapporo

- I actually didn't plan on making this video. I only had my GoPro with me, and I thought I'd just record a little bit to share with my Patreon supporters. But then looking at what I recorded, despite it being a bit rough- I thought it conveyed the excitement of that location well enough that I wanted to share it with wider audience in case I can inspire some people to visit!
To be clear- this hike is better done as part of a guided tour- an "Adventure Tourism" tour. The tour hasn't reached its finalized form yet, but when it does I'll post links here. Otherwise- if you're interested in being guided along this route, feel free to contact me via email or Instagram and I can connect you to to the appropriate parties.
But let me also share a bit of the location, so the bolder folk can visit individually if they so desire. Basically- take the train from Sapporo to Otaru, and then a bus from Otaru to Shukutsu Aquarium. Alternatively, you could take a cab. Either way, where you want to go is here: goo.gl/maps/Pb...

It's possible, you're living your best life and didn't need to be reborn. Love your videos and I wear your merch when I go for light hikes. People ask about "Go North". It's a good topic starter for day trips and friendly hikers.
Wow, thanks so much! I really appreciate it!!
Danke!
Thank you so much as always!!
Stunning views you shared! A place where birds go to check out the views too. The little caverns were intriguing with the statuary. Looked like a great day! Thanks for sharing!
It's a shockingly beautiful area! Can't wait to explore it further next time I get up there!
That first camera view was just gorgeous. The whole place was gorgeous, but that first few seconds looked extra crisp. Like 8k or something.
It is a great view!
I love how you say “nda nda” to agree, even my parents from tohoku don’t say it, some of my relatives do. You’re truly a integrated Michinoku guy.
Hahahaha, I like the "gap" that locals experience seeing what I look like and then hearing me say stuff like that.
Thank you for sharing the video of this treacherous passage.🥰👍🏽
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACES YOU TOOK ME AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU AND I ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR HIKING TRIPS .
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful vistas.
Glad you like them!
great video as always mate beautiful views
cant wait till you turn into a dragon those videos are gonna be wild
I can't wait to turn into a dragon!
Thank you for making nice movie in Otaru!!
Thanks so much for showing us such a beautiful place!
Wow that view is something else
Yeah, pretty spectacular!
We hope to visit Japan somewhere in the next 5 years or so. At first we only planned on visiting Tokyo, but thanks to your videos we now are looking into visiting a lot of other areas in Japan as well. Thank you so much for inspiring us!
Wow! Amazing views. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for watching!
One thing I find very inspiring about Japan is the particular way nature (and often stunning nature as seen on this video) is merged with religion/spirituality! The location in this video is absolutely gorgeous; the lush foliage the blue see the dramatic cliffs, just perfect! The views are amazing - I'm not sure I would have been as brave as you were to venture along some of those exciting trails thought. I'm not very familiar with Hokkaido, and the only things I knew about Otaru were its canal and historic buildings, so thank you for sharing the beautiful nature nearby.
I briefly stopped in Otaru city on my way to Yoichi during my first trip to Japan. It wasn't part of the original plan but it turned out to be a highlight of the trip. Would love to go back and explore some of the surrounding areas. I could tell just from the train windows that there was a lot of beautiful nature and this video more than proves it.
Yeah, I'm still just scratching the surface! Can't wait to go back by myself with more time!
Amazing place guys, great from Indonesia. Love it
Thanks! 😃
Thank you so much for this from Ned and Janet in Spain ! We love these beautiful spiritual places on the wild and spectacular coast of Otaru in Hokkaido. We would love to go there someday.
Thanks! Hope you can get there someday!
What amazing views! To be sure, the ladders alone would put me well outside my comfort zone - but I’m grateful you shared this with us! Hope there will be some more adventures from Hokkaido!
I hope so too! I'll go back a couple times in September. Not to Otaru, but other areas that hopefully I'll have time to film a bit of.
Hwy, Quinlan, I have vertigo, too, but the scenery was amazing! It is perpetually interesting how much infrastructure there is on trails and how that relies so much on local groups to maintain it. You had a video a few months back that you participated in, and that was neat. We are looking to come after Golden Week next year and hope to stay with you then!
Yeah, agreed!
And nice!! Sounds great!
Really cool!
Right?!
Wow❣️ Amazing video❣️ I’m from Sapporo, Japan but I’ve been living here in the U.S. for many many years. Japan, especially Hokkaido, for me is the best place to travel although I’m a Japanese. 😂 I haven’t been able to travel to Japan since 2020 due to all kinds of restrictions set for traveling overseas. 🥲 I love going to Otaru, Shakotan, Toya Lake, etc. Your video brought me back to the nice memories of my Japan trips I made in the past. 🥰 I truly miss walking around the street where “Kitaichi glass factory” is. I also enjoyed watching your Natto eating video as well! 😉. Thank you for sharing such inspirational videos to the world!
Thanks for watching! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the videos!
Btw- I was in Furano for work a couple days ago, and am in southern Hokkaido right now, just north of Hakodate. It's such a great area!
@@GoNorthJapan That’s great! There’s so many amazing places to visit in Hokkaido! Have you visited Shakotan peninsula & Lake Toya? Every time I visit Japan, I always go these places. 😉 Enjoy your stay❣️
Thank you for facing your fear of heights to show us these beautiful views!!!
Any time!
I love his "んだんだ" 7:00
Yoooo, some of those ladders were SO steep! That trail would probably be considered advanced, and for ‘in-shape’ people, if it was here in the US. haha
It was kind of exciting in some places definitely! I've started getting used to this kind of thing though it used to terrify me more.
@@GoNorthJapan Well done for the impromptu vlog! 👍
That's pretty spectacular! I've been to Otaru before but (here's where my poor life choices sound magnified) I went to the Nikka Distillery and then Otaru Beer. I fell asleep on the train back to Sapporo and I'm glad I suddenly woke up at the station because I could've ended up way out in Chitose or something.
Hahahaha, nice! Yeah- it's definitely more famous for those things.
Your videos are always perfectly timed for me to consider for my weekend plans. Keep up the great work!
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
Really nice views. Only downside is the almost sheer cliff you have to climb or descend.
Or upside, depending on your perspective?
Loved the rocks around there, quite interesting. @9:18, on a clear day one should be able to see Rishirizan poking out of the horizon... have you considered hiking it sometime?
Thanks for sharing, Q
I'd love to, but I don't have any specific plans just yet...
Eeeeeyeah, I wouldn't have climbed that, either lol. That's a big ol', steaming pile of nope.
Ahahahaha, yeah.
Another refreshing video. Thank you!!
I could feel my fists clenching to keep tight while climbing on those high and mentally challenging rocks 🤣
At 7:05 are you saying「うんだ、うんだ」? similar to 「そう、そう」in a different dialect?
Yeah, in Tohoku, older people (and a few young people) will often say んだんだ instead of そうそう。
That's quite a large group. Did you have to go down the same way? That would be more scary for me personally. Hope everyone got back in one piece.
Yeah, 13 of us in total... We didn't have to go down the same way, it was fine.
I'm wondering, are there digital nomads in North Japan? And what are their experiences.
I'd like to go for a month (or more if possible) when Japan opens up to the masses to work and experience the amazing nature!
Japan does not have a digital nomad visa. If you work while on a tourist visa you could get in big trouble. Please do some research before you book your trip.
@@JacobAlbano As long as you stay 1 month, any country is fine with it. They never find out.
I think there are nice lodging options that are for "workations" with good internet and a scenic, spacious location.
S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G.
Interesting hike, but not for me, unless I was 40 years younger. I`ll stick to the Highlands of Scotland, when I am able.
Scotland sounds dreamy!
When the views just keep getting better…
They really do!
A crow. The symbol of death. Good choice you didn't go that dangerous path!
