When I heard that people actually lived on Japan's most active volcano, I had to know more. So I decided to spend an entire week there, and find out what life is like. Welcome to Japan's most active volcano, Sakurajima.

So freakin cool! 💖💯 the full 30! Could write you a book about everything I want to comment on.😄. I love that Japan provides information on everything. The shelters become a treasure hunt for where you are in relation to the cone and ahahaha that the memorial stone says don't trust predictions 😅😂. The round lava rocks are a different sort of sea glass that remind me of the PNW, ocean power. Watching you wander through grassy, wooded areas I'm wondering if they have venomous snakes the way Miyajima does? I would've spent an entire day just taking photos of the roots, carvings, torii, even in the rain (find it super soothing). I think the only times I've seen that much rain were typhoon season in Kyoto and here in 2013. Excited for the next adventure. 💜✌🐦

I was surprised to hear her say she saw Norm on RU-vid and tv before. I wonder if she saw him perform shamisen on tv.

@MaShcode 3 года назад

How people end up in these places is endlessly fascinating. Reminds me of what a woman who arrived at the tip of Cape Cod said when asked why she settled down in P’town: “Because it was the last stop on the bus”

@floccinaucci 3 года назад

yup, that is definitely a ferry ... Japan or not, they look pretty much the same anywhere.

@L0R3NtheS0URL3M0N 3 года назад

20:45 Every country has their "crazy" cat lady! Although, I found her the most heartwarming and highly interesting since she feeds all the abandoned animals on the island. She reminded me of my own grandmother ;--;

@nanamiharuka3269 3 года назад

Yes she's very sweet to feed the animals and honestly it probably keeps them from getting into peoples trash bins

@CptPatch 3 года назад

I was so relieved when you said you couldn't understand his accent and it wasn't just me. I'm not very confident in my Japanese and sometimes elderly rural dialects can make me feel like I haven't learned anything at all.

@tameaw 3 года назад

Same for me！ I lived in Japan for 15 years and have no problem using Japanese at work but his dialect was so strong that I have to rely on the English subtitle.

@lauraboanas7817 3 года назад

I can’t decide what I like more, the behind the scenes or the documentaries themselves. They’re just so freaking good. The documentaries are always so evocative and the cinematography is 😘👌🏻 and you know I always find my faith in humanity again when I watch them. But… the behind the scenes man… so endearing and wonderful in their own right. I also appreciated the pink cars, the handling of the spider and that work ethic. Fantastic as always! 💖💖💖

Whoa what a lot going on behind the scenes for this one! Not just with the weather but the abandoned location exploring, extra bits about the hunt for interviews, amazing shrines, and almost being evacuated. Wow. Thanks so much for sharing the extra behind the scenes from this trip!

@MageThief 3 года назад

That "I'm going to miss this place" seems to be a reoccurring thing for you to say Norm and i agree fully with you. It always seems that there is some kind of interesting thing to find in Japan. Of all the places I have gone to I always have some story to tell and beautiful photo to show. Patreon Crew 🤘

@karlos1008 3 года назад

Great bts Norm! Sakurajima seems like the most chill place. The abandonment, while sad, have definitely made it something special. Hope you can meet up with cat lady again!

@chasethevioletsun9996 3 года назад

When I finally made it to Kagoshima in 2018, I arrived at night and was exhausted, so I got to my hotel room and had my requisite combini dinner before passing out, wondering when I would get a chance to finally see Sakurajima. Waking early to meet new friends, I left the room, stepped out, and looked to my right. There she was, in all her infinite splendor. I was nearly in tears. I was home for the first time in my life.

When the behind the scenes video looks like a whole special video on its own. The music added to the sense of adventure. I always love a bit of urbex thrown into the mix. I especially loved that shot as you went through the building and out to the other side with the drone. But that last part about the not sexy rocks 😅

@Aiken47 3 года назад

Thanks Norm, creating a piece of historical record no matter how small some of it may seem in today’s context may provide a clue for others in many years to come. I’ve be to Bali Indonesia several times over 15 years and tracking how places have changed has been interesting. I’m looking forward to the interviews.
