What do you think? Should we do more hiking adventures? Let me know in the comments below! This is the next installment of our 2021 Summer Road Trip! (Full playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLPKBXMFV99z0XyusYZe-_ymrjgxOVj-2v.html ) Leave some love below!! And I will see you all again... Real Soon~
This was AMAZING! Thank goodness you didn't fall. But I bet some of the slips hurt a wee bit. Love this area you were in!! Can't wait until the next one!! Thank you always for letting us explore (always) with you!!
I think the location is really beautiful and amazing, and needs to be in 12K! Especially that waterfall! Maybe you could borrowed the Blackmagic URSA 12K again and redo the hike? 😂
@Ellie Smithy, same, I have chronic pain problems and use a cane; hiking isn't really realistic so living vicariously through Norm and Victor/frameoftravel works for me! Hope you are well 💜
@@2007Club i'm sure you mean well, but I for one don't think my life is "horrible"; it just is what it is. It certainly could be easier, I even wish it was, but the universe has other plans. As it is, I try to enjoy adventures on my scope and scale, and the internet lets me enjoy along with Norm for things that I wouldn't be doing otherwise! Be well~
I love hiking. Its funny because growing up in Canada where hiking trails are easily accessible I took for granted how easy it was to get on hiking trails. I am realizing as I get older how much I love planning vacations abroad with some time for hiking.
Only just recently started hiking. The trip that I still hope to take one day includes hiking around Koyasan and the Kumano Kodo, the walk between Tsumago and Megome, Kurama to Kifune in Kyoto, and hiking around Nikko. So I've got plans. Which might happen someday.
no wayy lmao I have the exact same dream of taking a road trip across the US and Canada as well as exploring Japan ahaha but I'm living in New Zealand right now and although I live in Auckland(New Zealand's capital), when you come here I'd also recommend to visit fiordland and queenstown in the south island
I would love to see more hiking videos! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I can store them all for when I can finally return and go camping, swimming and touching all the moss I can find - the holy trinity if you will… Thanks again for satisfying my wanderlust, always a pleasure to watch! 💖
Your adventures are as always a great escape. Places i definitely willnever get to see as there is so many. Its great sharla is going to be closer and you can visit her and chris.
Thank you for taking the time to stream this hike, I live in Scotland and live very close to the Cairngorms but major mental health issues prevent me from hiking these days. This was like soup for the soul. Thank you bud. 👑
Thank you for the all the sweat in making this video. I am too old and infirm to do a hike like this anymore. But it brings back many good memories. The landscape and vegetation is very much like the mountains of Oregon where my grandparents lived.
Finding little shrines everywhere is probably my favorite thing about Japan. Also, this is making me miss home; moved to a drier climate recently and I feel like I might be part moss.
I love the outdoors explore videos. I used to love just trying to get lost out in the woods. It's really hard to do that after I broke my neck. Your videos always give me a sense of fun exploring in nature. I appreciate all of your videos no matter what type of video it is. So keep up the great work.
I love hiking. I vote for doing more hiking videos. I also think they take as long as they take. The "longer" ones are not boring. They are just as fun as the half hour ones. I love the scenery of Japan. That is one of the reasons why I love to hike. Thanks for showing us this!
Great video. When I lived under a mountain on the lower b.c. border ... I hiked every week or rode my horse. My favorite place to hike would be the north cascades because I grew up there and no I never hiked Mt. Baker yet ...
We did some hiking in Ireland when we went and really enjoyed it. And I share your frustration with GoPro! I went over the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge in N Ireland and lost all my footage when the gopro overheated and froze. And I'm scared of heights so it took a lot for me to go over the bridge in the first place!
Lovely video! I love hiking! All my family did. And there is a saying I n Bulgaria that "the fresh air makes you hungry", as people tend to get more hungry in the nature and aldo the food somehow tastes better. 😃🌞❤🍀🏔🌲🌻⛰️🏖🏕🗻🏞🌌
The “only YOU can prevent forest fires” really reminded me how often they used to play that bear-mountie ads on tv and in school! Canada has had some weird public service ads😂
Yes, we want more😆 I’ll have to go to sleep but thank you so much for the great video! I really loved it😊 and I’m looking forward to Tokyo walks😄 good night, Norm!
Hiking isn't really realistic for me (which is why I live vicariously through you and Victor!) I do like taking nature walks when possible...in fact, if it's cool enough I should do it tonight! Thanks for a lovely video, and I'm glad you didn't fall into any rapids ~
Yes please, more hiking videos! I love hiking (granted I've only done so in the northeast US), and I love seeing trails like this in Japan's beautiful mountains. I also really appreciate your tips about how to research hiking locations and how to plan ahead for safety etc - as someone who doesn't read or speak Japanese, it makes adventures like these seem more attainable and less intimidating
So pretty! I'd love to see more hiking videos! I used to hike a lot with my mom back in Ontario, there was paths that ran all throughout the city we lived in that followed the river. There was another place, near my hometown that had paths through a forest and along a lake. Was a sugarbush too, so was doubly fun in winter! I've recently found a place where I am now, has something like 30km of paths through a nature preserve with bison and other animals. Was there last weekend, saw a few deer.
Wonderful! I'm just a city slicker myself and I ride the bicycle every day, but this is so beautiful and your way of absorbing the (occasionally breathtaking) scenery is pretty entertaining, so yes, definitely more of this!
Your videos make me want to travel to Japan even more! I feel like (at least as a westerner) that I see a lot about Tokyo and Kyoto but not much about the Japanese country side. So beautiful!
Our favourite izakaya in Ueno had its name auto-translated by Google Translate to read "Hiking Pachi B", so that is our favourite Japanese hiking spot 👍
Hi. I’m currently quarantined because of covid. I first watched your hiking vlogs weeks ago. And now I currently watching it and it really helped ease the stress of being in quarantine. I love and miss Japan so much. Thank you for your japan video. ❤️ 😇🙏
I like hearing you but the almost constant water sounds where so incredibly relaxing... except each time you were about to slip and fall which made me jump more than once 😂. And yes, please do many more videos like this one.
Am not much of a hiker but whenever I get the opportunity to go for a simple walk elsewhere its just calming to see the sights and since you mentioned Takao-san I’ve been there quite a few times well obviously just to check the Shrines and went to Chichibu one time too 😊 Loved those places and I can’t wait to go back, i Miss Japan 😁
Hiking is an amazing thing, I have hiked many mountains in Europe, some swamps in Florida and I made it my life goal to make it to Japan and explore as much as I possibly can, looks gorgeous anywhere you go.
Awesome hiking video Norm! I do a lot of hiking on the Bruce Trail in Ontario, it's super nice and has some similar landscape to this one. I also did Mont Tremblant a couple years ago. It was right when the leaves were changing in the fall.
This was a great stream. Really feel like you are there. More hiking videos please. Great to have you finding these amazing places and sharing them with all of us!! Cheers.
Really loved the forest walk! Thanks so much for bringing us along! I haven't been hiking a lot in recent years, but really want to get back into at least basic forest walks/hikes. I grew up on 25 acres of forest, so if I want a forest walk I usually just go home for that. I've also been hiking in Algonquin, and a few places in Nova Scotia when I lived there. Would love to do some forest hikes in BC with the old growth forests. And of course I'd love to hike in Japan one day!
I know I'm a bit late in the game here (and in finding your channels), but I love the hiking videos. I have mobility issues now adays. I miss hiking so love these videos.
Yes please!!! I just discovered your channel a few days ago and I’m obsessed. It’s my dream to visit Japan and especially the more rural places, so your videos are just amazing.
Of course I like to see more. Living at the German Black forest i especially like those small hiking paths, where I live unfortunately most of the small paths are now bulldozed to 2 - 3 meters wide kinda roads because of offroad bicycling going overboard (to protect the hikers from bicyclists) destroying a not so small part of the nature in the process.
I loved this video! I adore hiking, I didn't do much in Japan but the hike up Mt Misen was nice, and the ropeway was down so we had the place to ourselves! Don't get out half as much as I'd like to in general though 😭
I'm a fairly keen hiker. I've done 2 hikes in Japan. First was going from Kawaguchico to the Fifth Station on Mt Fuji. Up hill all the way, obviously, but enjoyable. The second was doing Mt Misen on Miyajima, Hiroshima. That was a great hike, too.
Was out for the last quarter of the premiere coz my bro called from NJ. Will rewatch in 4k later. As always, love following the chat in the sideline while watching. Such a lovely community. More hiking videos please!
I love myself a good gorge. I also love a good trail through the woods. This hike is a win win for me. Thank you Norm for these out of place locations that most of us, even those who have visit Japan multiple times, may not be able to experience.
I'm not really a hiker but it's one of those things I've always wanted to do but I haven't because I have not had someone to go with. So, knowing it was a risk to go out into the woods alone, I just haven't hiked actual trails. I used to trek all over the 40 acres we used to own behind my old childhood home. Anywho, looking forward to more hiking content if you so choose to make it. The hidden forest shine with the bonus surprise campsite, that was really cool.
Hey Norm. Great stream. I love hiking. Been over most of the hills around the UK. Done 2 sections of the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain. That was amazing. Also did the Grand Canyon, top to bottom and back in a day. Yosemite, Canyonlands etc... My 4th trip to Japan, hopefully soon, will be to the North and all for the hiking. Inspired by your videos and GoNorthJapan. Fantastic to see these places. You are adding maps to my bucket list every day. Cheers fella.
I do a lot of hiking here in California and I haven’t been to Japan yet, but I was hoping to do the Kumano kodo trail in Japan at some point! Would be cool to see some hiking in that area
Yes, do more hiking video's please. I had a great one once in Kamakura, trying to find the shrine dedicated to money and I got a bit lost. Good times...
What do you think? Should we do more hiking adventures? Let me know in the comments below!

Definitely more hiking if you want to
This was AMAZING! Thank goodness you didn't fall. But I bet some of the slips hurt a wee bit. Love this area you were in!! Can't wait until the next one!! Thank you always for letting us explore (always) with you!!
Absolutely, especially for the fall colours later this year!
More hiking adventures would be great! As a side note, the water channel you ran across is for a hydroelectric power plant a bit downriver, I think.
I think the location is really beautiful and amazing, and needs to be in 12K! Especially that waterfall! Maybe you could borrowed the Blackmagic URSA 12K again and redo the hike? 😂
I used to hike but I'm a wheelchair user these days so I'm not able to travel like I once did. These videos help a lot with my craving to get out.
@Ellie Smithy, same, I have chronic pain problems and use a cane; hiking isn't really realistic so living vicariously through Norm and Victor/frameoftravel works for me! Hope you are well 💜
I'm in the same boat as you @Ellie Smithy. I broke my neck I'm 2006 and these videos help scratch the itch for adventure.
Omg...that’s horrible guys and girls::/ very sad

Same here. I sure do miss having a working body that would get me to the places my heart and soul still want to go.
MOAR of this, please.
All of the more.
I love hiking. Its funny because growing up in Canada where hiking trails are easily accessible I took for granted how easy it was to get on hiking trails. I am realizing as I get older how much I love planning vacations abroad with some time for hiking.

More of these please! This was really fun!
Such a pretty spot, the water was nice and blue where that guy was fishing. Yes to more hiking videos please ^_^
I love hiking. My goal is to get a van and travel all across America and Canada. Then later on in life I wanna travel and see Japan and New Zealand.
Bro. Super🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🔥
no wayy lmao I have the exact same dream of taking a road trip across the US and Canada as well as exploring Japan ahaha but I'm living in New Zealand right now and although I live in Auckland(New Zealand's capital), when you come here I'd also recommend to visit fiordland and queenstown in the south island
More hiking adventures yes!
I would love to see more hiking videos! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I can store them all for when I can finally return and go camping, swimming and touching all the moss I can find - the holy trinity if you will…
Thanks again for satisfying my wanderlust, always a pleasure to watch! 💖
Hiking Japan's mountains and trails sounds so peaceful honestly! to feel the air there and hear the sounds
As long as you don't have a chance encounter with a wild boar, bear, venomous snake, or a nest of giant murder hornets, yes. It's pretty nice.
Your adventures are as always a great escape. Places i definitely willnever get to see as there is so many. Its great sharla is going to be closer and you can visit her and chris.
Thank you for taking the time to stream this hike, I live in Scotland and live very close to the Cairngorms but major mental health issues prevent me from hiking these days. This was like soup for the soul. Thank you bud. 👑
I know the feeling. We travel the world from our chair and so enjoy it.
I love the enthusiasm in your commentary! Such a beautiful area, so thank you for allowing us to share it.
"Should we do more of these?" the answer to that question is always a yes on this channel lol
Thank you for the all the sweat in making this video. I am too old and infirm to do a hike like this anymore. But it brings back many good memories. The landscape and vegetation is very much like the mountains of Oregon where my grandparents lived.
That cover photo is b e a u t i f u l !
Norm, do you sell prints of your photos?
I just wanna paint that 👨🎨
Finding little shrines everywhere is probably my favorite thing about Japan. Also, this is making me miss home; moved to a drier climate recently and I feel like I might be part moss.

Definitely enjoy a good hike and the opportunity to see places I cannot visit through your lens.
I love hiking. I've been enjoying hiking recently in the Huachuca mountains in SE Arizona. Thanks for the variety of videos!

hiking is my favorite thing to do, I hike a lot in my province in Canada its great
1st time watching a vid from your 2nd channel, and i gotta say, it did not disappoint!
Great video. When I lived under a mountain on the lower b.c. border ... I hiked every week or rode my horse. My favorite place to hike would be the north cascades because I grew up there and no I never hiked Mt. Baker yet ...
Sound quality was very good, even next to waterfalls!
Love the hike Norm, good thing that bridge at the end wasn’t a rope bridge lol
such a gorgeous spot, I would love to go hike that someday! thank you for introducing it to us.
Loved the scenery, deffo recommend more of these :)
That waterfall (I assume the White-Water Ryuujin referred to it) was really nice.
We did some hiking in Ireland when we went and really enjoyed it. And I share your frustration with GoPro! I went over the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge in N Ireland and lost all my footage when the gopro overheated and froze.

I absolutely love hiking. I grew up in Appalachia in the US so mountains and hiking were just part of everyday life. And yes pls more hiking videos!
Lovely video! I love hiking! All my family did. And there is a saying I n Bulgaria that "the fresh air makes you hungry", as people tend to get more hungry in the nature and aldo the food somehow tastes better. 😃🌞❤🍀🏔🌲🌻⛰️🏖🏕🗻🏞🌌
Mount Tomorri in Albania and Drakolimni Timfis in Greece are some of the best spots for hiking!!!
The “only YOU can prevent forest fires” really reminded me how often they used to play that bear-mountie ads on tv and in school! Canada has had some weird public service ads😂
Such an awesome place! Forest walks are just the best
Really cool spots, japan is just crazy beautiful. It sort of reminds me of some parts of Switzerland 🫠🏔
Yes, we want more😆
I’ll have to go to sleep but thank you so much for the great video!
I really loved it😊 and I’m looking forward to Tokyo walks😄 good night, Norm!
Hiking isn't really realistic for me (which is why I live vicariously through you and Victor!) I do like taking nature walks when possible...in fact, if it's cool enough I should do it tonight!
Thanks for a lovely video, and I'm glad you didn't fall into any rapids ~
more hiking adventures, love them. trees, rocks, waterfalls, moss......all of it
As a city dweller who NEVER hike before, I love all the footage but the woods look intimidating

This is gorgeous!! I watched this relaxing video while sewing a shopping bag using traditional Japanese fabric. More please!
amazing walk to the forest trail, very relaxing hiking you sharing with us, enjoy it a lot! thank you!👍
More hiking videos please! I really enjoy them!
Our favourite izakaya in Ueno had its name auto-translated by Google Translate to read "Hiking Pachi B", so that is our favourite Japanese hiking spot 👍
Love it all, good thing we didn’t see the bugs on camera lol
Loved your hike...I am a hiker an Rocky Mtn Natl Park in Colorado is my favorite place to hike. I wished I lived there!

Love to hike and see new places!
Thank you so much for this, especially your comments and your amusement. Beautiful hike.
We definitley need more hiking videos, this was a lot of fun.

Would've never guessed this type of videos would be so relaxing.. for some reason it feels very immersive. Quality stuff as always
Very beautiful I enjoyed watching your hike
Im using this stream for calming down before an important exam and its pretty nice :) Always can relax with your streams ^^

I love how vibrant the colors are in these forest shrines. I now want to explore some of the waterfalls near me.
Wow, I missed a few of these. Another beautiful video.
Quinlan is an official guide in Iwate now.
and another super good adventure again 🤩🤩🤩

Yes please, more hiking videos :) that was fun. I am definitely going on few hikes when I visit Japan.
Love your hiking videos. I no longer can walk so it gives me great pleasure to hike with you. Thank you
Love all the small bridges.
Thanks for sharing! Pleasant hiking.
Of course I like to see more.
