  1. I was born in Japan but left when I was six months old. Would love to go back, especially after seeing this!

  2. I thank all the Japanese climbers who helped me to finalize this project as well as Epictv who trusted us.

  3. Man I lived in Japan for 3 years and almost went there before we left. Never got there though. Makes me sad😞

  4. That place looks really cool. Some of the shapes remind me of the rocks in Magic Wood. Probably because the river there also influences the shape of some rocks. Beautiful!

  5. Met a lot of Japanese climbers in the Alps, great lads but please, as a nation, stop slaughtering whales. It’s barbaric and unnecessary and only serves to compound the impression gained after your treatment of allied prisoners in the Second World War that as a people you have a terrible capacity for cruelty.

  6. I can relate so much to what he said in the end. Starting climbing was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life.

  7. Not true. We have the same type of rocks in New-Caledonia. 🙂 Interesting video.

  8. Many canyons of these river sculpted granite bouldering in Puerto Rico, open with great conditions year-round.

  9. I know that I've been subbed for a long time, but I don't ever remember watching a video (due to a lack of interest in rock climbing), but I like Japan, so you've got me there 🤣

  10. Hola, gracias por compartir tus conocimientos. me gustó el video.

    llevo poco escalando pero aprendo rápido. llevo algún tiempo siguiéndote y me gusta como lo haces. lastima que no hablo japonés.
