It really is beautiful, what must their lives have been like? As I sit here making plans for the upcoming holiday season with family, I think about all the milestones that happened in that village, the highs and the lows, the celebrations. All gone, it's quite humbling really, any one of our current towns could be abandoned in 50 years.

Something about nature being in the process of reclaiming it makes it even more beautiful to me.

It's so sad, all the families and all the memories that were created, just abandoned and left to rot. It would be so interesting to speak to someone who used to live in one of these villages, why they left, where they are now

@pankajkonwar5676 2 года назад

They left because they migrated to cities for work and many elders died. So no one is left now.

@lethfuil 7 месяцев назад

@@pankajkonwar5676 Of course some are left. It's fully abandoned since 1979 and that's not that long ago. Also, many of those people don't migrate to far away cities, but the nearest cities. Which is one reason why some of those places still get visited.

Something that has always just really resonated with me, is the realization that buildings basically only have life while we are in them. We bring the energy that helps keep them together, etc. We leave, and they die.

16:20 Nothing can destroy iron, but its own rust. Great philosophy right here. No one can destroy a person, but its own mindset.

*Their own mindset. Also: A lot of things can destroy iron, as well as people. A lot other than rust and a mindset (that's also bordering "don't have depressions, just be happy!" stuff...), lmao. Yeah, I know, a nice blabla psoido "philosophical" sentence that could be wise, if no one thinks into it, always seems sooo cool and easy to some, but it's actually just shallow and a little bit silly.

@sanashi27 2 года назад

Abandoned villages are interesting and somehow the rain adds to the feel of the place being left behind. It makes me wonder what the place must be like when it was still populated. It's fun to see collabs like this, too! Hope to see more maybe next time you two could go to an abandoned love hotel (since Abroad in Japan goes to still active ones).

@nicklasrapp2267 Год назад

I love these abandoned village, and nature videos. I think it’s so exciting partly because it shows a side of Japan that you don’t usually see, and is hard to get to see as a tourist, and partly because the forest is so dense and these villages seems so compressed in the forest and slopes. It’s almost hard to believe people actually lived their lives there.

I'm just so fascinated by all the pretty plants! Nature always seems so amazing and interesting when you're somewhere else. Those trees are beautiful! But the old houses are also very cool! I would love to see how they look on the inside. There's probably still a lot of the original 70s furniture or stuff in there. It's a shame that they are so unsafe. Someone should try fly a drone into them to see what's inside.

@satoyama.rupert 2 года назад

The 'tsuchikabe' earthen walls you try to describe a little bit incorrectly 5 mins in - are the essence of traditional Japanese architecture for centuries. It's not hay but rice straw that is mixed with earth to form the walls using bamboo lattice tied with wara as the base. The rice straw's enzyme - same one that makes natto sticky! - helps bind the earth to make a strong wall. I'm owner of a kominka where we made all our walls this way.

There is a serene beauty to be found in these places but its also just incredibly tragic.

@Yubnub1196 2 года назад

It seems the village once stood along side the old road (used to be National route 13) connected Yonezawa and Fukushima which was built in early Meiji period. Perhaps Emperor Meiji stopped at this village for a water break on his way to Fukushima or Yonezawa, hence the monument appeared in the video around 3:16 was constructed.
