I loved how happy and excited you looked, I would love you to do that again, I think that the unplanned and surprises works with you. I want to go to Japan so bad now. But I'm a teacher, and I only have January to travel, so I don't know if it's a good time to go to Japan, here in Brazil is hell fire hot in January, I imagine in Japan is super freezing cold.

No I wouldn't since current AI programs are fed with lots of copyrighted data and their developers are engaged in unethical practices and human exploitation. Bunch of lawsuits against those guys too. I am quite sad that you, as a creative, decided to ride the AI hype without taking in consideration these things.

I like the scene that an elderly lady asked Norm about his channel and he introduced it happily. It seems Ai knows not only what people need but also what makes people happy😊✨

Hey Yuka~ haha yeah... She doesn't know, but I'm HER fan now!! haha When is your next vid?

I think you could live in Japan for 100 years and still find something new and mind-blowingly spectacular every day. Such a great place for hiding very special things that you have to hunt down. Love it Norm, thanks mate.

I fully agree! I don't feel like Il ever get tired ot it or run out of things to see!!

'Collecting Pokémon cards is dangerous because I have adult money now' That absolutely cracked me up xD Some of those places looked like a backstreet in Europe instead of Tokyo! I always love seeing the small shrines and hokora nestled in between buildings, they really do make for a refreshing sight among the concrete and steel. Thanks Norm ^^

This is such a genius idea Norm. It's kind of like a guided tour for introverts who don't want to have to interact with a tour guide. It also gets you off the beaten path and exploring the quieter side of Tokyo. Definitely will have to consider it for my next trip back to Japan.

My husband and I have been binging all of your videos, and while he travels to Japan pretty frequently for work, I’m going to Japan for the first time with him in about a month. Thanks a TON For all the advice and fun videos. This AI tour guide might be a great way to get some other ideas of places to visit, we will give it a try while we are there and let you know how it goes.

I really appreciate the fact that the AI surprised you and got you out of your usual haunts. Seeing the quieter side of Tokyo and more of the residential neighborhoods is always a treat when the rest of KZread can be saturated with the usual (beautiful) Tokyo stuff. This looks like such a refreshing and relaxing day!

Honestly not what I was expecting when you said you had "someone" plan a route for you, but this was an amazing amount of fun, packed with energy, but also peaceful. More areas added to my list as off the beaten/usual path is very much what I'm looking for now 💜✌🐦 Have a great week, Norm

I love how excited you still get about Japan! It's what keeps me sticking around. Thanks for making such great videos!

Great video as always! You show the parts of Japan that are not commonly shown and I always get excited when I see that you've uploaded. I really want to visit Japan someday and I appreciate you showing me what Japan has to offer. Thank you for your energy and excitement that you bring in your videos.

Will have to replay this one, next time I find myself in Tokyo. I do love, when Norm talk about how happy people are, how he seem so very happy himself.

I've been on a rewatch of your channel, for probably the third or fourth time in the past few years, and im using a lot of your content specifically, to help plan my upcoming trip in November. I have lists on lists of places I want to see that i've found directly through your content. Thanks for all the incredible adventures and content Norm, much love ❤

I loved the Nakasendo video, had me getting out and about more. Japan has an interesting blend of nature and architecture and it always gets me hyped to see the hidden temples and shrines in your videos. Good luck and fair weather Norm!

I love watching you walk around and explore Japan. Your experience there, combined with your take on things in general is always positive and inspiring. Thanks.

Wow. That was amazing as always. Thank you for exploring and sharing Tokyo's lesser touristy areas.

Great Idea and great realization! What I most appreciate about your videos is the sense of exploration and wonder you manage to portray. And this is no exception.

What a great video Norm! Love seeing the back streets and the less crowded areas like that.

That was very nice video. But what impress me more is how positive and happy you can look like on your videos, and full of joy and always glad! And I know from other videos that you passed by some hard stuff and you keep that way. It's amazing! I hope find that way some day too!

Nice video as always 🧡 Loved exploring these unseen areas of Tokyo with you!

First off, love your shirt! It just made me smile so much. Secondly, I love how the AI took you to a variety of places, especially ones that don’t seem too often thought of. The area with all the books had me wishing we could pause and go back to see them all!

been sick and was waiting for your videos.they are really help going thru tough times, and as always puts a smile on my face. thanks of making new contents for us

Awesome video Norm! Love the energy you bring when exploring!

This is really interesting. I like how it took you to some places that most people wouldn't think to go to. I love all the hidden shrines. It looks like it was a fun way to spend the day.

This Video really felt like a Tokyo Tuesday video. Thank you for taking us with you on this adventure.

Your videos always get me so excited for travel to Japan. I think it's your excitement for things its contagious

This sounds like a good way to find the areas that are catering to your own interest. Seeing that Tokyo is set up that way. Love the video Norm!

Another serene day just watching you,Norm! Thanks for your internal energy!❤

What a treat! Whenever I find myself in need of some Japan fix I watch your videos and it feels like i am there. Thanks for sharing 🍻

This is getting me excited for moving to Japan in a couple months. When I visited previously I was too scared to explore by myself and only went to the more touristy areas with friends. Here's to finding some hidden spots!

Jealous. Japan is a lot of people’s including myself dream destination. But i wouldn’t move there! Would love to travel for sure.

Kagurazaka and Akagi Shrine were THE highlight from my wanderings on my first trip to Japan. Love seeing it again, thanks Norm!

I love your videos and watch them all the time, especially when you post a new one. I've lived in the US all my life but your videos help me learn and see where my grandparents and my ancestors lived and grew up. It is so interesting to see how different Japan looks compared to the Google images. I hope to one day get to visit, or even live in Japan. Keep up the great work and keep exploring!

i can feel your love for the ambiance and the mood japan gives off. i'm so happy i found your channel.

Love the way you present your videos, it's like we are all walking there with you + all of the knowledge you have of so many different areas! Greetings from Aruba.

Absolutely loved the concept using some thing new for some thing old to do and surprisingly it came off with out a hitch and worked really well with some improv kudos to you norm and cant wait to see the next thing u decide to pull off

I have been to Japan twice, 2 weeks each, and have the same love for exploring you do. I often find myself pausing your videos just to let myself experience the FEELING of being in Japan that your videos often evoke. I love it.

i can not stress enough onto how underrated you are, i enjoy every single video you make and seeing u walk trough Tokyo inspires me to do thesame thing when i arrive in October. Its fun,its good for the body, it doesnt cost anything and you find small things that many tourists overlook when visiting Japan. Amazing video once again.

Videos like this make me realize how much I truly missed on my first trip to Japan. Despite just getting back a few weeks ago, I already want to go back. Based on thos one trip, I can see why people love Tokyo and never want to leave. Thanks gor sharing this amazing content!

This was really fun, Norm! What an interesting way to plan an adventure for the day. We've tested ChatGPT for recipes, but not for an itinerary. I loved seeing all the shrines and different areas with their specialities. That lady in the shrine was so sweet, too. Hello from Australia if she's watching and really comments! 😃👋 I

Norm, I wasn't expecting such an AMAZING video. I saw the thumb but didn't read the title lol, but when I clicked to watch I just smiled in less than 5 seconds. After that, I was more and more amazed by the things you have shown. Thanks for the vid!

There was SO MUCH in this video that all I could think of is how long it must have taken you to edit this! Overall I'll still plan my own trips but interesting to see what AI came up with (& its fallibility: some things were gone etc). Thanks, Norm!

I found out that a loosely planned day strikes a good balance between seeing things you want to see and giving the freedom to explore. I think walking down random alleyways or streets while on your way to your destination is a fun way to find things. Also if you can change your keyboard to type in 日本語 it opens to a whole new range of places when searching maps

You explored many places in one day, Norm! 😳The moment lady who approached you and subbed to your channel made me smile😊✨ Thank you for another fun video!😆

Notification came at the perfect time ~ That was fun!! Next time I don’t know what to do I might try this out for myself 🤔 Loved the shrines it took you to, definitely gonna check them out myself! Also after this video + the recent livestream I really want to explore Kagurazaka, seems like a nice area.

10:40 that was a really good shot of you coming up the steps. didn't blow my mind, but wanted to appreciate you putting the camera down, walking away, and walking back.

Norm, your positivity and excitement is just such a light. I think we would all be served to explore the world with the child-like wonderment you bring to your videos!

Awesome video man, love the side streets aswell, can't wait to visit Japan again. Keep up the good work !

I loved this video, it was one of my favorites. I hope you upload more videos exploring different neighborhoods in Tokyo. This city has a lot of interesting places that it would be nice to see in more videos. I really want to be able to live in Tokyo!!!!

This is such a good idea. The amount of things to do and see in Tokyo can be overwhelming and this kind of takes the stress of figuring out what to do. Also, love the shirt.

Great video, I was cautiously optimistic when you first said you used chat to create your route. I was pleasantly surprised at what it came up with..it also showed its flaws with the restaurant being torn down. Its only as good as its inputs but a great view of Tokyo with all of its many sides and hidden treasures. Thanks for taking us along.

Thank you for showing us the hidden parts of Tokyo that we may not come across if we plan the trip for ourselves. All the shrines and hidden walkthrough is amazing!

Your videos always look so amazing, and of all the amazing things you film, the thing I love the most are the streets. There's just something about japanese streets and like alleys/back streets that is so fascinating.

Another fine video. Thanks Norm. It's Sunday here in Vancouver. What a great way to start the day, sip my coffee and see the wonders of Tokyo.

Another great video, love all the side streets and shrines, all those book!!!!!! I'm in love 🥰 the old lady was adorable too. Keep up the good work! 😊

I felt like I was walking around with you! Nice to see you explore the not so known areas as always

Love exploring Tokyo/Japan just like you! Thanks for your videos!

Your energy and enthusiasm is infectious!

loved this so much! Going to Japan for 3 weeks in september so this was for sure very nice to see. Thanks for everything!

Love the video! I'm visiting Tokyo right now and it's awesome. Seen some of your video's before coming here. I love that you asked for hidden gems in your prompt too. Gotta fit the book area into my schedule now.

Norm's explore spirit is something so unique. A breath of fresh air that I don't see anywhere else.

Your videos are part of my peaceful Sunday morning routine. Thank you!

Great fun video Norm! Kagurazaka is a great fun french area love the swanboats close to Yasukuni Jinja Shrine! It’s great to see some corners of Jimbocho I haven’t been recently! The non touristy spots of Tokyo are my favourite :) we’ve actually used ChatGPT a few times to build a few long livestreams itineraries (no trains involved) 😅

I loved that prompt, I will adapt it for my local cities Cambridge and London and see what it comes up with! Really loved this video, especially the callback to your Nakasendo vid which is where I first discovered your channel, I'm going to check out the places you explored on street view because there was so much fascinating stuff going on!

Cool. It's a nice way to augment your travel. Glad it made suggestions for places you haven't seen in awhile.

Watching your videos has become a wonderful part of my days. Watching you, Makes me want to drop everything and move to Japan.

What a fun video! Thanks for sharing all the different spots. Makes me want to visit!

At 18:45 you talk about how streets have this ''happy'' feeling. Both in the English and Japanese language there is no real word for what the dutch call: gezellig. Gezellig means kind of a mix between cozy and busy in a positive way. It feels cozy because a certain space is getting busy. It feels like you and a bunch of other people are there for the same reason to hang and chill out. I would call streets like these in Japan ''Gezellig''!

That was fun and Interesting idea to let the AI plan your day. Nice to see you visit old areas again. Keep up the amazing work.

Next time, ask ChatGPT to write an entire Tokyo Vlog video script (with narration, camera shots, etc) and then turn that into a video

This was so fun, hope you do another episode like it!

this is awesome to see thanks Norm! the hotel im planning on using when i visit Tokyo is actually in Ningyocho so great to get an idea of what the area is like! :D

This was a fun and unique concept for a video, don't think I have seen anything like it before. I hope you're doing great, Norm! :)

Absolutely fantastic video! I had the exact same idea a little while ago and after watching this video it makes me want to try it even more!

Love the video! It’s these kind of video that inspired me to move to Japan in the first place. Sadly I have moved out since but this video definitely is telling me to go back

Already did this in March. Had delightful days in Shibuya, Asakusa and Odaiba. I didn't knew there was a lo of restaurant stores near asakusa. ChatGPT showed me and even recomended lunch and dinner plans. Best travel companion.

I wouldn't have expected the day to go so well, glad it turned out awesome! The little old lady asking for your KZread channel was so darn cute

Oh, yes. Ningyotyou is a great town.There are nice traditional or modern restaurants, good sweets shops, beautiful shrines, interesting souvenir shops. This town was on the Japanese popular movie too.

That’s really cool that they organize the city by theme even for niche categories like snowboarding. I’d imagine it makes it easier to find people who have the same interests as you because it’s like you have your own street to hang out in.

So many unique artitectures all over the different areas of Tokio, travelling all that much really shows how one area is different from the other!

how interesting. I like how areas are filled with specific things and the happiness is people with a common interest gathering together in the same space. reminds me of a convention vibe. you find your tribe by how you vibe.

Thabks for another great video. Love all the hidden spots. Japan is so pretty!

Very good video and it's always nice to see your passion in these videos.

love the videos i cant wait to visit japan next year :) explore some of the back streets too

Loved it. These kinds of Tokyo Lens travel spots are my favorite. One thing, what were you so excited about at Daiso? I missed that and just ran along with you, instead of stopping and reviewing! LOL.

Thanks Norm. I do love strolling through the backstreets of Tokyo. I was recently channelling my inner Norn with a wonderful stroll from Nezu Shrine, across to Yanaka Beer Hall (which is a tiny old home converted to a cool bar) then through and old cemetery to the JR station. Lots of character of contrasts. Such fun. Thanks for the inspiration!

That was fun watching! Love the little shrine in one of the backstreets 🤗 How did you came up with this idea? I've never used ChatGPT but maybe I try this in my hometown and see where it leads me 😁 Thank you very much for all your vids and the effort you put in every one!

this was fantastic! so glad it worked out well for you

Was quite interesting and hope you can do more such type of videos. I think with more up to date data ChatGPT tours could be pretty interesting!

That was an interestng walk. Thanks for sharing and I like that you didn't totally stick to the AI plan. Beautiful areas to see and explore! Always look forward to your videos. Cheers from the US!

Thanks for sharing all the book shops. I now have a new area added to my travel list.

I'm a bit late to this one becuase of how busy I've been the past 2 to 3 months. BUT! Finally managed to watch this, and not only did my heart melt with the shot of that older woman asking to join your channel, I also couldn't stop laughing with your reaction of the food location hahahaha! Love the idea, I use ChatGPT for quite a lot of documentations, work related info etc - easier and quicker than searching loads of links through Google - but the database is only based on 2021 data. AI is definitely a game changer for A LOT of things, from travelling, photography, video editing and even school work! I love learning about it, and being used to get your itinerary while in Tokyo, I am 100% doing it next time I'm there ;)

Yay!! A Sunday sit down with a cup of a tea and Mr Norm!!👌🖤✌️ Edit; as always Mr Norm, your excitement is contagious! And for someone who probably won't ever be able to explore these places due to health issues, it makes me feel like I'm right along with you on your explorations!🙏

Wow!! Nice video...such energy and confidence has been released.

Love the content, keep up the good work Norm.

It's amazing how gpt can suggest hidden spots. I thought it would give only touristy places. I'll give it a try! Thanks for the great video, Norm

I love all your videos but I think exploring the hidden gems in the countryside and the backalleys of Tokyo. I am constantly adding places to visit in Japan to my list :D Also Jimbocho is a dream come true! I would love just explore the different bookstores and buy as many books as I can fit in my suitcases for Japanese practice 😊

AI is certainly an interesting concept as it’s portrayed these days. The Nakasendo is definitely a must do. Another great one, Norm!

This was such a cool idea🥰 hope you are having an amazing day 🌞
