      @gekii. Před 6 měsíci

      This place makes me feel like a child again, running around in a maze, will definitely try when I have the chance! Thanks for sharing Norm!

    • @DarkNekoStudio
      @DarkNekoStudio Před 6 měsíci +2

      I would definitely explore cause I love these kinds of space...I would just make sure to find the chest containing the dungeon map first!

    • @azahel542
      @azahel542 Před 6 měsíci +1

      I definitely would!

    • @MarkoPot
      @MarkoPot Před 6 měsíci

      YES!

    • @KirstenReusch
      @KirstenReusch Před 6 měsíci +1

      💯 added to the list because I want to see those ranma, shoji, fusama, and mountain views in person 🥰hinoki bath might also be 🤏 of a draw 🙃

  • @Sperbs_9
    @Sperbs_9 Před 6 měsíci +90

    I’m a “just get me outside” person when I’m lost in a building (or Tokyo Station). I’d end up climbing out a window and hoping I don’t hurt myself or get yelled at. 😂

    • @moviefan8210
      @moviefan8210 Před 6 měsíci +7

      Yeah my first suggestion is: OUT THE WINDOW! too

    • @saberkite
      @saberkite Před 6 měsíci +4

      I half expected him to do that at one point when he was showing is the views outside, haha.

  • @Goneforever111
    @Goneforever111 Před 6 měsíci +55

    Legend says..that you can still hear Norm wandering through the temple halls looking for his way out 😂😁🤗💝
    Definitely adding this place to my bucket list 💝💝💝

  • @sanashi27
    @sanashi27 Před 6 měsíci +59

    The temple doesn't just look like fun to explore, it also looks like it'd be fun to play hide and seek there lol. Everyone just gets lost!

  • @greylocke100
    @greylocke100 Před 6 měsíci +27

    You should post a complete floorplan/blueprint for the temple with all the little hidden areas, if there is one available. I might try to build a miniature of it for fun.

  • @samsanimationcorner3820
    @samsanimationcorner3820 Před 6 měsíci +18

    This is giving me such liminal space vibes.

  • @cp_honey
    @cp_honey Před 6 měsíci +21

    Lost in endless empty rooms and hallways.. isn't that a common dream, limbo experience and all? 😅
    So for centuries, countless people roamed this place looking for the exit. Respect for how much work people put in to maintain all this so beautifully!

  • @yossisureta2578
    @yossisureta2578 Před 6 měsíci +40

    Yay!! More contents on fun temple explore!!🤩

  • @blister4walken
    @blister4walken Před 6 měsíci +19

    Like a first person videogame level, where you backtrack to make sure you got all the loot. Looks like a fun place to get lost.

  • @DarkNekoStudio
    @DarkNekoStudio Před 6 měsíci +11

    Looks like promotional trailer for a new atmospheric exploration game.

  • @michaelcherry8952
    @michaelcherry8952 Před 6 měsíci +13

    I kept expecting you to come across the Japanese equivalent of the Minotaur!🤣
    Next time, remember your ball of string!😉

  • @stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369
    @stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369 Před 6 měsíci +3

    "Man gets exclusive access to stumble around beautiful historical temple"
    lol this was a fun one
    Plus, you know what to do in a maze, always touch the left or right wall as you walk and never let go, you'll get to the end eventually

  • @StaringIntoSpaceMan
    @StaringIntoSpaceMan Před 6 měsíci +4

    What a cool place, would like to get lost in it! The window showing the snowy, cozy village outside just adds to the charm…

  • @KirstenReusch
    @KirstenReusch Před 6 měsíci +11

    So what you're saying is I'll be perpetually lost and living in the temple if I visit 😂 There's one of those fascinating cool patterned trees in the inner garden of Natadera too. Thanks for the BTS speed run through this amazing building. ❤

  • @hoppozhe
    @hoppozhe Před 6 měsíci +7

    Wow! This was a nerve wracking and gripping little adventure that kept me on the edge of my seat up until the very end. Thank you Norm for this slightly scary yet exciting run!

  • @kevinholt2648
    @kevinholt2648 Před 6 měsíci +9

    An amazing piece of history, that wants to hang onto you for a while. Thanks for showing us around

  • @Stormcrow89
    @Stormcrow89 Před 6 měsíci +2

    Note for if exploring expansive buildings; find some lovely ribbon….lots of it. Get used to being attached to said ribbon as you make your way through and hope no one cuts it. Use a fishing rod to reel in when your destination is reached. Repeat as necessary 😂

  • @fnorazril
    @fnorazril Před 6 měsíci +7

    This would be an amazing adventure to have. Those views though! Oh my, they're breath taking! Especially the mountains. Would definitely get lost here again and again.

  • @myoshi1979
    @myoshi1979 Před 6 měsíci +5

    This is the best kind of lost!

  • @emilysmith9099
    @emilysmith9099 Před 5 měsíci +3

    This is both hilarious but also the stuff of nightmares!

  • @tj37475
    @tj37475 Před 6 měsíci +4

    That is such a unique place to stay at and explore Norm, thanks for taking us on the "I think I'm lost?" tour, that was so cool (not cold) just cool. Keep the videos coming mate. TJ

  • @demoneyedcam
    @demoneyedcam Před 6 měsíci +2

    As long as you can find an outlet to charge the camera you can keep us regularly updated from within the temple you now live in forever.

  • @weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars
    @weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars Před 6 měsíci +2

    That would be so funny if it Wasn't the bit you thought it was 😂😂😂 Love the adjoining corridors but off in different ways! What an incredible temple ❤

  • @Pwnopolis
    @Pwnopolis Před 6 měsíci +4

    I'm glad you uploaded this segment, made.my morning.
    Thank you Norm!

  • @CharynGant
    @CharynGant Před 6 měsíci +1

    Omg. Cue up the Twilight Zone theme. I had shoes on I would've been out a window in a heartbeat!

  • @lilmissfires
    @lilmissfires Před 6 měsíci +2

    I would have found that small room with the chair, sat down, and accepted my fate that I was now a part of the temple 😅

  • @truepotential206
    @truepotential206 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Legend say Norm still wanders the walls of this temple. Sometimes You can even hear him walk

  • @SmilingQuokka
    @SmilingQuokka Před 6 měsíci +3

    Yay! You got out eventually, haha. I love that you mentioned Spirited Away. The temple hallways definitely have got that same vibe as the bathhouse in the movie. It's so beautiful. I love it, especially those paintings and the view. Mind-blowing to think the temple has been around for 500 years or so.

  • @memeranglaut
    @memeranglaut Před 6 měsíci +2

    The fear and confusion is real. Also Norm has a proper handlebar mustache haha

  • @scottieosu2000
    @scottieosu2000 Před 6 měsíci +3

    Absolutely, it would be fun exploring.

  • @chadriche
    @chadriche Před 5 měsíci +2

    Lol, was wondering if you were going to get out. That would have driven me nuts!

  • @CausticCupcake
    @CausticCupcake Před 6 měsíci +2

    And to this day, people say you can still see glimpses of an entity they call Norm wandering the halls.😂

  • @KevinSchmidt-sj2rk
    @KevinSchmidt-sj2rk Před 6 měsíci +3

    Yes, I would explore it; very interesting. Excellent video.

  • @AmandadeOliveira
    @AmandadeOliveira Před 6 měsíci +3

    This is fun but also kinda of scary. 😅

  • @charlesrovira5707
    @charlesrovira5707 Před 6 měsíci +1

    @5:05 I have nightmares like that. The only thing that could make it worse is if you suddenly had to go to the bathroom, real bad.

  • @jeremytome
    @jeremytome Před 6 měsíci +1

    Couldn’t imagine the fear coursing through an assassin trying to get in and get out alive

  • @thisIsJar3d
    @thisIsJar3d Před 6 měsíci

    I love your channels. Been watching for a long time and recently became a Patreon. I’m heading to Japan for 16 days in March. Your videos have shared so many fun places that I plan to explore.

  • @umbrellacorp.
    @umbrellacorp. Před 6 měsíci +2

    I think he was stock there over 7 minutes. 😂
    I love Japan. Their buildings are such fun to get lost in.

  • @Sbeas19
    @Sbeas19 Před 6 měsíci +2

    This was mega entertaining to watch, watching you go in random directions and not a single person to be seen or heard, that would have creep me the freak out. Also the small room with the small chair made me laugh a lot xD

  • @theartfullibrarian4109
    @theartfullibrarian4109 Před 6 měsíci +2

    The video camera was found lying there all dusty like the Paris Catacombs. He was never seen again. :P

  • @Del-Lebo
    @Del-Lebo Před 6 měsíci +1

    OMG I would LOVE LOVE LOVE roaming that place for days!!!!! I could spend a week or more just wandering and mental mapping the place. SO Fun!!!!!!!! I am SO happy to see more...even if it is only just over 7 minutes.

  • @randomaccount-dq1jq
    @randomaccount-dq1jq Před 6 měsíci +1

    2:47 It was at this point Norm entered a Genjutsu and he is actually still stuck in the temple, sat in that solitary chair while the monks use his positive Qi to help cleanse spirits.

  • @pekiteo
    @pekiteo Před 6 měsíci +1

    This massive place looks claustrophobic, you are brave Norman!

  • @yang_beatz
    @yang_beatz Před 6 měsíci +1

    Almost 7 minutes to get out wow =D could have just jumped out the window, sneaking out like a samurai =) Bless!

    • @Ekis2011
      @Ekis2011 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Commented the same seconds ago!! Not brave enough to explore huge empty spaces with lots of rooms and not a single soul to ask for directions. 😅

  • @Ekis2011
    @Ekis2011 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I would have jumped out on one of the windows. The hell with the maze. Preferred to get lost outdoors. Hahaha!!

  • @RobbC.
    @RobbC. Před 6 měsíci +1

    Watching this and I'm expecting Uma Thurman to come crashing through those shoji at any moment... :)

  • @StephenKennington
    @StephenKennington Před 6 měsíci +1

    What a fun video. Have to add this place to my Japan Bucket List. Love to explore all the different rooms. Imagine exploring that at night...

  • @alexandrak.6108
    @alexandrak.6108 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I absolutely would, looks like fun!! 😂

  • @benparker1822

    A-maze-ing, indeed.

  • @tauepsilon4220

  • @Katsurisan

    This was oddly entertaining, im still glad that you eventually got out!

  • @Bchulo88
    @Bchulo88 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Norm when he's trapped in the backrooms - "This is just one tiny room..."

  • @_Adie
    @_Adie Před 6 měsíci +6

    You could set an entire movie in this one Temple. A video game, even. I love it.
    Is this where Resident Evil got its inspiration from?

  • @mollyfaye
    @mollyfaye Před 6 měsíci +1

    Okay that was really cool! I went to Bible college in an old monastery and I got lost for the first week. lol. Eventually it was easy and so peaceful to find its little nooks and crannies and just sit in the quiet ❤

  • @skvalu
    @skvalu Před 6 měsíci +2

    Nice vid. I would definitely explore, it looks so interesting 🙂

  • @edtuckerartist
    @edtuckerartist Před měsícem

    Had a dream/nightmare like that once. I was lost in this massive maze of corridors, some of the walls were glass but I could not see through them.

  • @zengrath
    @zengrath Před 6 měsíci +1

    They clearly made it so confusing on purpose to confuse intruders haha. I would think though if you can keep seeing out-side you can kind of verify which direction your heading in to head towards the entrance side, but funny.

  • @RFBennett
    @RFBennett Před 6 měsíci

    Thank you for the adventures, Norm. I would never see these things without you.

  • @4140ajj
    @4140ajj Před 6 měsíci +1

    That chair room was very odd... Nothing like mine 🤔

  • @jphan21
    @jphan21 Před 6 měsíci

    That was be so scary wandering around there in the middle of the night.

  • @Gray_Fox_
    @Gray_Fox_ Před 6 měsíci +1

    Thanks for this exciting video! This really looks very exciting. I hope that during my time in Japan I might also be able to visit a temple where I could stay overnight.
    Greetings, GrayFox

    • @TokyoLensExplore
      @TokyoLensExplore  Před 6 měsíci +2

      really was exciting!!
      Glad I managed to get out! haha

  • @epicthief
    @epicthief Před 6 měsíci

    This is such a wild video

  • @Ayahime0
    @Ayahime0 Před 6 měsíci +1

    As someone with a lack of directions, I think I would be stuck there for days. Unless I decided to jump out the window.

  • @moviefan8210
    @moviefan8210 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I want my future home to be like this temple, but with normal doors, in some places, instead of the sliding ones. I'm a fan of residences, with lots of rooms and space

  • @sebside
    @sebside Před 6 měsíci +1

    i get lost all the time... maybe this isn't a place I should stay over. the view from the window in the beginning was awesome!

  • @rupertmiller9690
    @rupertmiller9690 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Need to shoot a version of The Shining there. Excellent location for filming the impossible spaces that Kubrick liked to put in his film.

  • @motivealloy
    @motivealloy Před 6 měsíci

    Hah! Great fun. I literally have extensive dreams wandering around weird buildings with interconnected rooms. This video was exactly like one of my dreams!! Thanks Norm. 💚😅
    Btw, love your jacket. Love to know where to get one. 👍😁

  • @stijnjanssens571

  • @soltersortna

  • @islandgirl33
    @islandgirl33 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I have anxiety and stress watching you try to get out of the temple. Hope you made it out!

  • @ThatHoodieDude
    @ThatHoodieDude Před 6 měsíci

    This reminds me of this game where you have to find a bathtub in a labyrinth of a house.

  • @Chonky_boi265
    @Chonky_boi265 Před 6 měsíci +1

    The temple is what nightmares are made of, lol. Hope you got out safely minus the curse words.

  • @nightchicken283

    Hello Norm from Canada! Loved the hidden video. I started to feel panicked for you as you kept getting stuck. I'm glad you made it out.

  • @ghostwriter6455

    @tragicskytragedy Před 6 měsíci

    honestly really love this room at 2:47 🤭 i wonder if there's a specific reason for the chair or if they just thought the room looked too lonely otherwise

  • @jdii5698

  • @SystemBD

    Another liminal space to add to the list.

  • @thempstead
    @thempstead Před 6 měsíci +3

    Again would be great to explore ... but imagine if you were the poor person whos job it is to clean it all! "Where did you leave the vacuum cleaner" "eerrrrmmmm" or you have a fleet of roombas who just are constantly broadcasting "we are lost send help"

  • @becks5867
    @becks5867 Před 6 měsíci

    There was a missed opportunity for some scooby doo shenanigans with all the corridors and rooms 😂 This temple amazes me, I’m sure it has even more secrets that have been forgotten over time 💜
