i was on my way to this japanese village
that had replaced humans with
scarecrow style dolls and learned about
this abandoned
elementary school that was tucked into
the mountains with
a bit of a catch there was a guy living
there
so naturally i had to swing by and hear
his story
a heads up if you haven't watched that
video yet i'd highly recommend pausing
here and watching that one
moving on when our interview ramped up
he offered up the place to stay for the
night which
i obviously wasn't gonna say no to and
thus begins our story
at this abandoned elementary school so
i'm gonna be
staying the night kind of seeing what
that's like
now one of my favorite features of this
place
is the fact that it has a cafe right
you can enjoy things in here or
you can come out to the deck that they
have outside
right here and enjoy it with a beautiful
view
of the mountains but one of the things
that makes this place
really amazing is that up here there are
actually rooms that you can stay in
[Music]
on the first floor there also is a
shower
available right in here
what time is it
nine nine o'clock we spent the entire
night
just hanging out with him playing guitar
singing
talking about his coffee what an amazing
amazing experience
[Music]
here has his own original drip coffee
bags i
absolutely love these things and he gave
us
he sells them online so if you want a
taste of this place i'll link these down
below
please i'm very excited about this thank
you
oh by the way i can completely speak
english just
the interview in japanese felt much more
natural
and now we're going to stay here for the
night in an abandoned school
in an abandoned school how are you
feeling about it
not as creeped out as i was hoping which
sounds really weird
because like you know like all the
lights are on right we're surrounded
by mountains you can't see anything in
the dark and
i was expecting like an ominous kind of
like spooky skeletons kind of
kind of vibe but as we were walking down
the hall to get here
with the only light to guide me was
whatever's leaking out of these windows
and the emergency sign i'm like thinking
okay
what happened in silent hill oh yeah and
then siren
like if something's gonna pop out it's
gonna pop out three two
oh i guess it's just a normal school it
honestly feels oddly safe
mm-hmm aside from the spiders and the
centipedes and
stuff picture's not a huge fan of the
box
oh no no no and now we've gotta
unpack set up all of our stuff to charge
we've been on the road so far for about
three days three days makes sense
it's gonna be a fun night
[Music]
so we heard something moving back here
i'm like half worried that it's gonna be
like in
entire area here the cupboard too so
nothing nothing oh this is good
dude i just heard a chonjo
okay there is something out there there
is
dude it is right above us
so i'm gonna use this this light mount
it
on top of the gopros media mod good
preview
okay here we go you ready
let's get you to
[Music]
to your right
i'm not getting any update yeah
okay let me feel it okay so it's in
there at least it's not in our room
yeah so that's
all i need that was exciting that was
that was a little bit of adrenaline
all right there's a switch around here
somewhere
there we go it is what time is it
three o'clock in the morning
somewhere around three o'clock in the
morning
and we just spent the last couple hours
outside doing astrophotography
it's time well spent
[Music]
because of the aesthetic of this place i
expected that it was going to have kind
of like a
creepy or scary feel to it but it's
actually kind of peaceful
you got crickets going and a river off
in the distance
the stars in the sky are really lucky up
until now we've always either stayed in
a car or at a campsite and this is
by far the most comfortable and safe i
have
felt yet it's it's amazing that we're
the only people here i think that kind
of adds to the comfort as well don't
often get the opportunity in life to
have a place all to yourself so i'm
really looking forward to that coffee in
the morning
so that's the nighttime update for now
i'm gonna
catch some z's
morning guys victor's not dead he's just
it's just resting when we finally did
get to sleep last night it was
pretty late first we set up far too late
with the owner who might
be my new favorite person and second
we the whole astrophotography how long
did we leave our camera there
three or four hours like three or four
hours
so but you know what
i want to try his coffee before we go
[Music]
no cups
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
so
i've always liked to get dark roasts
[Music]
thanks so much
[Music]
you
