  • When you tripped over the beam at the entrance, do you hear a whining noise? At first I thought it was screaming. The funny thing is, that its constant until you step over the beam properly.

    Kinda freaked me out. Sounds like screaming.

  • @Yenaroo Ah, I know that noise though I have learned to tune it out after frequent visits to this temple. What you are hearing is the water pump running at the nearby priest's residence. The timing was indeed perfect and certainly freaky if you did not know the source of the sound. However, the source of the sound in the woods beyond the graves remains a mystery still... Thank you for watching and sharing your observation! ~Kurt :-)

  • The Wheel of Fortune at 18:42 reminds me of the giant Tibetan prayer wheels.

  • Whoa. at 23:00

    No Sh---t!!

    You certainly have some guts cause I wouldn't have stayed to narrate ANYTHING if I hear something moving at the entrance of a cemetery of abandoned people.. Whoa.. haha..

  • Where in the world can you do this and feel completely at ease? 5*

  • Very cool video... I live in LA, but last month when I was in Nara, I walked up to the Namdaemun late at night and just hung out with Unkei & Kaikei's Ungyo and Agyo for about an hour. I was the only soul around for the entire time.  It was an amazing night, I can still close my eyes and go back there anytime I wish. Thanks for sharing, keep 'em coming!

  • You should definitely go back up there during the daytime so we can see the forest and the cave.

    And I probably wouldn't have looked at the deserted graves either--at least not at night :P I love Japanese ghost stories too--read a lot, especially since I'm writing a novel about the ghost/ghoul/mythical creature the Yuki-onna. So...at least it's not winter and you don't have to worry about her stalking you in the woods at night :P

  • dark doesn't quite describe that.

  • That was both amazing AND beautiful! I'm happy I stuck with you to the end, too! Although, I was comfortably eating my breakfast at home as you trekked into an unknown dark abyss... I'm sort of a lousy sidekick...

  • >>> an object from the site back to your awaiting friends in the street light (often laughing their asses off!) "What's the matter? You look like you've just seen a stupid ghost!" Kids...

    I don't know if children play those games any more these days. They're prolly busy playing their Xbox or PlayStation at home!! : (

    Great memories never die.
