Omg I've never camped in my life, I've always wanted to, but I never could. I've would stay in that van for sure. Something i didn't do this year was definitely travel and explore. This year was crazy for me, and I just didn't have the budget and time. I also feel like the year is ending super fast, and I didn't do anything other than work. Great video, Norm! Hugs from Brazil!

If there's one thing I've learned from watching Tokyo Lens, it's that the quality of the campsite directly correlates with the sketchiness of the road leading up to it.

Honestly, I have been following a lot of people who vlog in Japan, and strangly they have never come across or even mentioned these crazy huge hornets. For a hot second I thought that they didn't exist in Japan. I seriously love your honesty and your genuine happpiness.

@SmilingQuokka 8 ай бұрын

This feels like the most Tokyo Lens camping video ever. Also, I love how you forgot a few important things. I did the same with the family trip we are on right now. I realised last night I forgot something to sleep in and my toothbrush, and something minor for our daughter's health. 😅 Thankfully there was a store nearby and my husband's mother saved us with the healthcare item this morning as she came later. As for staying there, provided we had a similar vehicle to sleep in and a way to deter the wasps (allergy to bees and wasps), I'd give it a go. It looks like a peaceful place. ❤

@DreamofJapan 8 ай бұрын

I would 100% stay here. The scenery, the freedom, the escape from reality and just having a moment of peace to collect yourself with nature and simply relax. Such a beautiful video. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos to give people the opportunity to experience what they may never have the chance to themselves.

These kinds of adventures in Japan are quickly becoming my life's dream, thanks so much for taking us along with you. Taking steps to quit my job and move out there, we'll see how it goes! I always appreciate the inspiration...and I'm also impressed you didn't have any beer in your cooler.

@TokyoLens 8 ай бұрын

Hahaha 😂 I was tempted to grab some beer But wanted to be ready to drive if necessary at any moment haha Best of luck to you and what’s remember, if you’re moving out to Japan, make sure to spend your first few years developing as many marketable skills as you can while networking~ You’ll work a lot… but if you build that skill set and network, over time you can build a great life!!

@Stormcrow89 8 ай бұрын

Finally got the time to watch this! It’s exactly what I needed. A new adventure, some rain, a few spiderwebs, and what feels like a dear friend to share it with. Really enjoyed the bridges and how quiet this campsite was!

@kevinholt2648 8 ай бұрын

Norm, so glad you got to go camping finally. This looks like a little slice of heaven for camping, I would totally be into this place. Murder hornets and spiders notwithstanding. Thanks for showing us the nature and beauty of Japan outside the cities. Hope you got some good rest for your visit.

Love your adventure, Norm. All those-not knowing the support poles for the awning, cutting the bag of sausages and dropping it on the ground, cutting a hole in your pocket, that little drama with the hornett, and also bumping your head on the door- are charming & entertaining. 😂

@Incognito413 8 ай бұрын

Can I just say, thank you Norm, for giving me a push into camping? When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time just wandering up and down the hills and hollers I grew up in, and as I grew older I just sort of stopped spending time outdoors. But watching your videos had me going "I wanna do that." So I bought some camping gear, and did. So again, thanks for helping me get back outdoors! Also, I'd totally make that drive and stay there. Those roads are positively highways compared to some of the dirt roads around here.

Hey Norm, I'm so happy you're out camping again because I love seeing the Japanese countryside. This campsite really is gorgeous like you said, I absolutely love it! I would go there in a heartbeat.

@TokyoLens was wondering if that was the campsite you had to give up on on the trip with Taiki. ✅️ 🗒 It's beautiful, but also really has that creepy vibe. Cooking with Norm - camping edition 💜 No judgment on the cooler. Everything looked amazing, and just what you want when camping. 😱💀 on the suzumebachi and huntsman, but the new camper van looks comfy and well set up. So much love for this one: 🎵, adventure, nature, and a challenge

I'd just like to say, どうもありがとう! for showing these amazing places. My heart yearns to travel like this & I've always wanted to visit Japan, plus there's a sort of an eerie serenity when viewing abandoned or old places like this. My mind just reels with what the people who lived there use to do in their day to day lives & what happened to them. Each building has a story behind it & I love it. Unfortunately, medical issues have put a stopper to my dreams. Yet, I'm fortunate that I can still experience seeing these small corners of the world when people like you share them! 😊 So thank you & keep up the great work!

Don’t feel bad Norm, I didn’t fare well this summer either over here in Florida 😢 This year the summer heat was unbearable 🥵 Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make these videos and see Japan through your eyes. I love Japanese culture and anime, I hope to visit one day. 😃 I would definitely do that trip with the camper van it was awesome to watch.

Your enthusiasm is exactly how I was and how I will be in Japan, since I find myself in the way you enjoy things and what you enjoy - during Corona when I couldn't enter the country or apply for any job, it was always bitter-sweet to watch your videos and sometimes I'd even avoid Japan content altogether; but with you, I always found some time to sit down and chill watching a VoD of a livestream or a video of you exploring. Now that I'm only waiting for my papers, it's only sweet, no more bitter, when I watch your videos - so keep em coming!
