Return to the lost green tea farm 失われた茶のファームに戻す – Abandoned Japan 日本の廃墟
Updated: Oct 1
And here is the original video when I first discovered this abandoned farm.
Sometimes the time is not right for adventure. Other times the moment is pressing yet the opportunity is not present. In both cases a second try might be what’s needed to turn a previously failed endeavor into a success. Here’s one hike which required both a second try as well as a renewal of resolve to overcome both physical barriers as well as some lingering trepidation over uncertain fears which, though knowingly dispelled, had somehow left a lingering sense of doubt which irrationally cautioned I spend the day elsewhere. I’m glad I didn’t listen.
A well sealed and weatherproof structure.
Not a single pane of glass broken on this abandoned farm building.
The interior of one farm shed is still in very good condition.

Abandoned nest of the dangerous Asian Giant Hornet.
Abandoned farm building.
Another farm building swallowed by the forest.
A farm shed falling over.
The remains of a small farm shed.
A small stream which was once crossed by a wooden footbridge
Reflecting on the farmer’s last day of work.

The Path of Wildness is easy to find The course of a stream Leaves blown in the wind A beast’s track through the brush And the direction of our first inclination
The Path of Wildness is an answer and response to a prescribed way of life which may leave some individuals with a sense that their living is little more than a series of pre-determined, step-like episodes between birth and death. The stages of living between these events: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood and senior are themselves natural and in accord with the needs of the species and most individuals. Many find their satisfaction in living this course and to these individuals I have little or nothing to say. Others though long for something more; something innate, genetic and seemingly calling. Adventure and change can give a degree of satisfaction and relief yet even these may seem too tame. To those who feel drawn to something beyond the entertainment and stimulation of senses I offer a walk along The Path of Wildness. Don’t bother penciling the event in your schedule, preparing a pack with goodies and supplies or even inviting a friend along, for this experience is along the course of your first inclination and you must surely always go alone.
