There’s nothing better than walking in a dense forest like this one .. the chorus of the different species of birds …I can imagine at dawn break the sound of the birds early morning chorus is quiet deafening there … I must congratulate you climbing that with virtually no stops .. only a couple of to pan around …all I can say you must be young and very fit ..imagine living in that castle in its glory days ..must of been a soulful place…
I absolutely adore your channel. Your videos have made my desire to explore Japan even stronger. Such a beautiful country. Keep doing what you're doing, it's wonderful! Love from England.
You are unique…. Keep going.
This makes me want to explore Japan so bad, it hurts
Cozy and culture Channel 😊👌
Stairs respect forest 👍💯🌳🌲😊 9:16
Forest 🤩
It was the perfect time to visit this place. I'd avoid the scorching sun too. I wish I was climbing all the way to the top of the mountain. It is breathtaking! The stone foundation are slowly being reclaimed by nature. There's something magical about that. Nothing beats the tranquility, I suppose, despite the bugs chirping (locusts?) and the fact that there was noone else around makes the adventure all the more worthwhile. Can't even begin to imagine what the stronghold must have been like back in the days!
It stops being ambient exploration when the flashlight comes out.. you could start a second channel called "Spooky Exploration" where you do these walks at night
Goodnessssss! This channel is perfection! It deserves way more subscribers.
I don't know if you're super fit or can somehow edit out certain sounds, but all I'd be able to hear if I was climbing those stairs would be the sound of me panting until I died of a heart attack.😄😐
11:41 Intruder! Sound the alarms! 😄🧐
Amazing video, thankyou ❤
