Had the opportunity to take Sharla (https://www.youtube.com/user/sharlainjapan) and Candie around a few of my favorite places in Hachimantai!

  1. That mountain hike looks amazing! It looks like a great time of year to be there with all those fall colors.

  2. 3:56 wow!
    And more generally: great video, and I need to remember these particular hells 🙂

  3. Nice! Not just a hike – very informative. I visited the 8 “hells” in Beppu, Oita. Love these kinds of places.

  4. love the way you tell the history of the place as you show it!
    7:01 i burst out laughing HAHAHA

  5. Sorry I’m going to be fussy. I couldn’t help noticing that you were walking on the road at the beginning of the video and all the cars behind you were forced to wait or move to the other side. You should be more cautious about the traffic around you.

    I love your video👍

  6. Very beautiful shot by drone, I want to go here, next time if I will know if how to go to this place, Take care always bro…thanks for your guide to climb mt Iwate,

  7. Wow your quality and format is beautiful! I had to visit your channel after hearing you in sharlas video you have a great voice and articulate way of explaining things! 😍

  8. The production value is just getting better and better, people subscribe to this man!!

  9. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW That geiser story. I don't see why they didn't just push him into the geiser… >_>

  10. Great place to take people if you've got gas. It wasn't me! The smell is the volcano!

  11. Just found your channel through Sharla and now I'm watching all of your videos. How is this channel not more well known?

  12. Just discovered this channel through the Abroad in Japan ghost video. Good!! Keep on creating more content please! I'm sure it will take off

  13. The Yellow Stone National Park brought me here.
    I am sure this video is the very first one created by Gaijin to introduce

    Hachimantai National Park, which is not popular and unknown among

    foreign tourists.
    Thank you for GoNorth.Keep it up , Good work.

    By the way,I was actually living in one of the abandoned apartment till 1970.

  14. Came over from Sharlas channel! Man I have been missing out! Thank you Quinlan for the amazing videos!

  15. Spending so much time in a country alone, are you married?? , im sure tons of ladies would like to know, cheers

  16. You and Sharla should start dating and then make a new youtube channel as a couple in Japan for 2021. 🙂

  17. Quinlan is the alter ego of Chris Broad, like Yin & Yang. Great vid and superb writing & pacing. Keep it up much love from 🇵🇭

  18. Hey! It’s Sharla in Japan! So nice to see sucha nice person sharing your video!😊

    Nice person with other nice persons for the win!😊

    And yet another abandonned place… so many places in Japan share that same fate that were bound to reflexion, making us think on how time changes things leaving broken dreams on its wake😞

    And, seriously Quinlan, only three!? There’s like a thousand reasons🤩! All those videos sharing Hachimantai and those other mountains that are a like your house out of your house.

    All those moments, all those sounds and those images, brushes of color, of life, in nature’s canvas, those are more than enough reasons to visit Hachimantai and its sibilings.

    In the end to go to Tohoku🙂.

  19. Thank you for posting such great videos! This has been on my bucket list for a while. If Japan reopens, I hope I can go to Hachimantai by very late October. Would you say the road conditions are still OK by then? I hope I won't need winter snow tires yet!
