with some major highlights on Route um we are then leaving Tokyo we’re driving into the neighboring prector our journey this morning is going to be a couple of hours driving West about 70 M or so towards the first startop for the day and we’re going to make a stop next to Lake kawaguchi right then right then so we are at lake kamaguchi kawaguchi kuchi lake k Gucci and it’s pretty spectacular should we turn around and show you look at this wait for it how awesome is that M Fuji M Fuji known as fujian is Japan’s tallest peak it’s 3,776 m high and is considered as one of three mountains in Japan that have sacred status it’s actually a volcano but hasn’t erupted since the early 1700s it’s been the object of worship for thousands of years and has a massive influence on how Japanese people view nature we supped a man as we came in s strawberries and strawberries over here look delicious so we’re going to go back and find them and see how much they are I’m really enjoying the fruit in Japan and I poly you are you’re you’re very fruity I am fruity 500 how much is that poly that’s £50 okay thank you can I have a strawberry please you have come on something in there pass with strawberry why’ you ask for a bag and then you’re going to take him straight back out bag you’ve always got to take your rubbish home look at those you’ve always got to take your rubbish home um into which is great so let’s [Music] try that’s the next level strawberry AR M delicious or more please put a little rubbish in there cuz we’re good citizens look at this oh eating strawberries with a new view of M Fuji quite awesome in it paing very practical lunch stop because there many options they all in the same place um you can purchase your own lunch you have options from the noodle bar you could try Japanese cheeseburger that’s uh something tempting to use there’s also a big Supermarket where they have the ready packed Bento and Sushi oniri sandwiches lots of fruit and salads and things like that so many options for launch also in the department store there is a Dao anyone know about Dao we’ve been to Asia before one of my favorite places in the world it’s the equivalent of the pound shop but it’s Japanese styling so it’s the 100 yen shop actually 100 yen plus tax so plus 8% and you’ll find the world’s best cheap and cheerful souvenirs in there things like Chopsticks and fans lovely little Ceramics made in Japan fun things things I’ve never seen before in my life anywhere else for example little socks for chair legs because they could get feet he was looking at me like what do you mean that’s perfectly normal um then we have all the paper for origami beautiful paper get packs of 10 or 20 or 100 sheets of origami paper lovely I like to take that home right then so we’re in a local supermarkets come shopping mall by m Fuji and look we come for udon noodles PA’s got Curry udon with this is mixed vegetables this one and PRN I’ve got mixed vegetables onion and i’ got some condiments here Ginger and I got just the noodle soup the noodle soup that cost the princely sun of £850 £850 for all that how awesome that’s the original curry sauce oh that’s nice is that like the one for breakfast yeah lovely this soup here wo try the Bro oh it’s lovely fishy broth what not this I think it might be um Ginger just try a little [Music] bit yeah I’m stick that in stick all this in right let’s go for it [Music] M absolutely delicious so if you get the chance to try UD on noodles then we definitely recommend right then look at this tomato sweets have you ever seen such a thing mat be a hat to be tomato so Paul’s not very impressed he’s not a big tomato F but I love tomatoes Tomatoes but don’t have tomato sweets let’s have a look crazy to look at that oh my God does it taste of tomato it does Taste of tomato like sweet tomatoes they like Bloody Mary M so they’re a hit so get yourself some tomato sweets now I’m only guessing but this is what I’ve bought so I reckon I discovered Japanese where as Originals this lovely Paul was talking to himself it Donuts they got great Donuts store Mr donut but you don’t need a donut I don’t I don’t need a wife but I do quite like it sometimes right then so just for your information um in supermarkets you can use cash or you can use cards we’ve got two Monza cards that have worked really really well and you get the best exchange rate at that time so we definitely recommend that w we poly we most definitely we sound like we’re um what working for monzone huh well no but it’s w for us uh all through our Asia trip so that’s great but they they take cash as well so just so you know right so we’re going to go back to the coach and uh see we’re going to be heading off I think now to our hotel in HCK it is pronounced hacky trip oh yes we’ve got a boat trip tell you some it’s good job one of us is paying attention it is it is after lunch we then board the coach again we have an hour and a half drive to the second Lake that we visit today Lake ashy the ashy is a Crater Lake it was formed a few thousand years ago by the last eruption of Mount honei so it’s a Crater Lake it’s a beautiful Scenic spot and our hotel is located right on the shores of the lake in order to get there we will have a boat trip from the north side to the South Side about 30 minute Journey very enjoyable and very very pretty a [Music] right at a con Hotel the Lakeside view so let’s go and see what this uh entails looks very uh interesting right nice hello all rooms are twins here apparently unless you B book a honey room honeymoon room honey room a honey room oh dear it’s been a long day already in it poy so number three I bet that’s the bees KN is being in a honey room isn’t it right then so we just arrived at the hakone hotel and we’re here for one night with Riviera travel on our tour of Japan so there’s poy Morgan do come in and let’s start right at the very beginning which is the bathroom and as you can see soon as you get straight through here wonderful toilets in Japan which we’ve been thoroughly thoroughly enjoying maybe a little bit too much yeah you’ve got an over bath shower with uh body soap conditioner shampoo products there and if you come around here we can see that obviously you’re provided with obviously all your toils razors all there’s hair bands in this vanity sets and body tail and you’ve also got a hair dryer there too do I need a hair band do you need a hair band what do I do no not yet so that’s got everything we need spare toilet rolls Etc so we’ll enjoy that and opposite there’s a cupboard isn’t the Ping slidy wardrobe slidy wardrobe so you’ve got extra pillows and quilts at the top you’ve got slippers here and you’ve got um shoes and jackets to way to this on is it on Spa it’s got a onen spa it’s got a naturally um aspirated hot Spa which is from the volcanic rocks yes but it’s a proper Japanese traditional one so there’s separate ones for men and separate ones for ladies you have to wear nothing at all in your birthday suit yes you have to have showerer before you go in and then you put your pajamas on get to your one stage and then you Dr you got a little towel to cover your um your modesty and then once you get in you ease the toil up as you walk into the water and then to keep your toil dry you wear it on your head you do but I’m not allowed in because you’re not allowed to have a tattoo yes and it’s to do with the Yuzu who’s the the Japanese Mafia and if you’re um if you’re deemed to have tattoos you’re deemed to be a wronger Bas so even though I got little funny funny black panther that cost me £6 about 100 years ago I’m not allowed it no let’s go into the main room and show your around the other side oh and you’ve got um some drawers there as well deodorizer spray you’ve got a torch and some more drawers so that’s it I mean it’s not as big a room as we’d hoped it’ be nice to have a bed yeah so thanks for what so look at this now we’ve been told with our tour with revia travel that the hotels room rooms that we’ve showed so far a big for Japan and this is huge there’s no double rooms here well that’s a lie there is double rooms here but you have to book for a honeymoon uh every other room is a twin or they’re slightly wider than sort of regular twin beds aren’t they but look at the size of this but also interestingly there’s some extra features where you wouldn’t expect them so if we start in a little cupboard there where you see you can set you’ve got a clock and you can set your alarm and you got your night lights I don’t know that’s a Japan these thing because um our last hotel at a clock hotel atani in Tokyo we left there this morning ‘s that so if you look in the bottom here you’ll see a really big safe which is unusual isn’t to have it there with a key but that looks a really good size to be able to keep laptops in by the bed you’ve got USB ports there and two plugs so that’s always good to see so that’ll feed both both of our beds and then over this side here let’s go to the drinks which are all complimentary as you can see here we’ve got what they call the drip pot cofes you’ve got complimentary water yeah the drip pods and then in here you’ve got the fridge got the fridge where we can pop our water in a moment and the other side you find all your your cups and sauces ready for your coffee now Wi-Fi is included and you can see you’ve got your it looks like you got the modem there you’ve also got uh a desk area which should be very very handy cuz we need to do a little bit of work work and then around here you’ve got a TV and you’ve got more space here that you look like you got three shelves wait for it Paul is going to open the curtains and show you this fabulous view I don’t if I am going to open the curtains I can’t to do it well if you just pull them apart then you can see your right if you can see cuz the Sun so bright you’re right on the lake which is beautiful and you’ll see that was the pirate ship that we arrived on yeah so how cool is that i’ got to be honest we travel a lot I’ve never stood in a hotel room and said the words that’s the pirate ship we are on no exactly so the sun’s about to go uh set over the the hills there in the distance you can’t quite see it from our room but you can see Mount Fuji but um this is going to be great for one night before we get on the bullet train tomorrow paie and head to hoshima right then so we’re dressed we’re showered we’re ready to go it’s a really quick turn around when you’re on a Rivia um escorted tour like other tours that we’ve done so just prepared to be busy busy busy but included dinner now isn’t it Paulie yes it is and a free drink if we can get down to the bar by 6 so this is just the front of the hotel by the lake and look the Sun is setting over Mount Fuji how cool is that and if you can see through that window there PA Morgan’s just uh sat there and we’re just having our complimentary drink of amoretto and tonic which we were like oh okay and you know what it’s strangely nice dinner’s at 700 so we’re just going to watch the sun go down over Mount Fuji and enjoy our drinks after enjoying a delicious dinner which was included in the tour price we reflected on how lucky we had been today with the weather allowing us amazing views of Mount Fuji and not forgetting of course that we sailed on a pirate ship feeling pretty tired from the day’s exertions we headed off to bed in Readiness for the early start tomorrow good morning from hakone oh we’re tired so here’s the reality of touring what about we’re a bit Delirious no no not we’re a bit Delirious she’s a bit Delirious here’s the cuz I need to go to breakfast so otherwise she could take four days cuz she’s breaking some teeth in for the dog I think the reality of doing an escorted tour is it’s early mornings virtually every day now today no exception 6:30 to get up suitcas is out the room by 7 breakfast by on the bus for 10 past day as we head to the train station to get on the bullet train yes so let’s go and see what breakfast has to offer yes well said Paulie thank you so this is um lovely it’s supposed to be one degree today we’re getting colder as we’re getting sort of um south of the island but as you can see you can just see Mount Fuji in the distance and the pirate ships still there’re ready to go goes back and forth to the side of the lake but what a lovely quiet spot there all the canoes there so obviously all the water sports some more um boats over there but how peaceful is this some people fishing over there look but this is the hakone hotel we’ve literally been here for about 14 hours so it’s um it’s a bit of a Whistle Stop all here nice hotel but it’s been great for one night it’s a perfect spot dinner was lovely but now better get back in cuz I can see the q’s moving into the dining room and we’re going for get some breakfast so hopefully it’s a decent breakfast before we get on our coach and take him to the train station to get the bullet train so that’s pretty exciting after a fairly uninspiring breast breakfast we headed for the coach it’s that time of day again it’s the the seat Lottery time where we be to the day paie 11 oh he’s cheated AR he he’s already look oh you’re a cheater see if we have been seeing M Fuji today we wouldn’t have seen a thing so that’s really lucky isn’t it because it’s covered in clothes St so we’re now off to the bullet train okay then right we’re away now we have a um shortest drive probably 45 minutes up to an hour if there’s any traffic but not more than an hour we’re driving to Mishima station which is a quiet station and it’s not all chaotic so it’s quite good for our first introduction to the shinen rail network so there’s no stress right then so we’re here at the train just wait to get on the bullet train you can’t have any snacks or drinks we’ve just been to the little convenience store there to get some snacks and uh we’ve got two trains we’ve got to be very quick in between because there’s a 2minute stop uh and that’s it so we’ve been told certain um instructions that we have to do so it’s going to be a a bit of a military procedure be no dithering so I’m fairly confident Carol’s going to get left behind hopefully not so let’s go so here we are the shinon Jr line so we’re going to just find a toy let which are this way and we’ve got a meet back there with Yuri and uh Bernie for 25 pass and Yuri is going to be um saying out F Wells to Yori so uh tipping isn’t normal in Japan however for the tourist industry and if you’ve had a good guide it is quite um usual to tip so we’ve just given yel every tip and she was very very happy with that so let’s go to the toilet and let’s get back and get ready for our epic train journey [Music] that’s funny we just start saying that this is quite intimidating if we weren’t in a group because it’s um so different signs um however uh as we’ve already found out Japanese people are really really helpful so but yes we’re up here so here we [Music] are oo a bit quick quick yes exactly that made us all jump oh my so make this jump oh my God everyone on everyone on thank you thank [Music] you here so here we are so we’re on we’ve all been allocated seats in this section PA Morgan should be coming any minute here he is the perfect gentleman everybody on okay another seat stopped for 2 minutes is it but it’s 2 minutes and then we’re off say here we go what’s your thought so far I have to say uh it’s everything that I thought Japanese efficiency would be T of room even for a i me I’m not it’s massive for 10 but T of room plenty of overhead storage for your over storage yes so bring on the picnic I say [Music] [Music] right first leg Done Right po managed to have a 2 minute snooze in that 2 minutes we do 7,000 miles sa F trainers H but everyone’s getting ready we got our stuff here ready because it’s a quick apparently got 2 minutes to get on the other train no pressure so let’s see how that goes [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] go go go he beat us we’re on woohoo hey so we’re going number we’re going number 10 [Music] right well that wasn’t complicated was it no was right so off and back on and everyone’s getting s and this time in 10 and again the same leg room in theing so it’s so so comfortable so you don’t get a you can’t buy Refreshments on the bullet train so look what we got the Super Market Jack uh yes please so also on Shin can you can get obviously free Wi-Fi and we bought some snacks as well we don’t really know what flavor it is Swiss roll it could be it could be jam and cream it could be fish and banana you just never know in Japan never know that’s quite days looks nice looks nice and soft and fluffy yeah fish and banana is it what is it really it’s jamming Bri tree and as always You’ got to take your rubbish home so we got a little bag here which we put all that in and we’ll take make sure we take that off the train and take it with us it’s a good choice in paie bullet trains in Japan can travel at speeds of up to 3 320 kmph which equates to 199 mph let’s see how fast ours is going to go [Music] it’s so lovely when you’ve got a guide and you don’t have to think or get stressed about being which way to go isn’t it Paul it’s just lovely there yeah thank you we just have to wait over here until we’re instructed to do the next thing so we don’t have to think do we poing I never think anyway no he [Music] doesn’t so how efficient is that we’re on the next coach for our our next part of our Excursion and our first one in harashima now we just have literally a 10-minute drive to the hotel and we only have this bus service just for this transfer we don’t see this coach again so it’s best not to get comfortable really and put things in pockets and you know let’s just keep our things where they are so we don’t leave anything behind we won’t see it’s just a transfer service for us now this lovely lady at the front is our local guide for the next three days fuman so just before fumo um introduces her properly so you know it’s a very short Journey to the hotel the hotel is very well located and walkable distance to most of the interesting sites we are just making a brief stop you know ready just to drop off our luggage it will be stored securely for us while we have our afternoon visit to the peace Memorial Park Museum and also spending some time with uh the Survivor the survivors talk so it’s just a brief stop there they may have room keys ready and if they’re ready we’ll pick them up just for convenience so that you have them already Park and we go on foot and it’s a short walk the peace park by the way is open 24 hours so if you want so this is our new hotel ooh this looks rather the porh doesn’t it right so we’ literally just dropped our hand Luggage in reception there and we’re already off our next door so you haven’t seen our room yet we’re off to the Memorial Park and for a talk with one of the survivors from harosa so it’s about 15-minute walk and they’re going to show us some local restaurants Etc on the way so um that’s where we’re headed now no time to stop and do anything the ab bomb Dome is the ruins of the former hoshima perur industrial promotion Hall which was destroyed by the first atomic bomb ever to be used by humankind on August 6th 1945 the atomic bomb was detonated in the air at an altitude of approximately 600 M directly over the hall the explosion by a single bomb claimed the LI of over 200,000 people and the city area of a radius of around 2 km was turned to ashes the ruins of the building will be preserved forever as a reminder to succeeding generations and a lesson to mankind Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is dedicated to the direct and indirect victims of the first ever City to suffer a nuclear attack the park was designed by renowned Japanese architect Kenzo tang and opened in April 1954 it’s open 24 hours a day 365 days a year the flame of Peace depicts the hands facing upwards and represents the thousands who died in the aftermath of the bomman begging for water the flame was lit on August the 1st 1964 and has been burning ever since as a protest against nuclear weapons included in this tour was a visit to the Memorial Museum which details what a rashima was like before and after the bombing we also met bombing Survivor sedo Yamamoto who told us what it was like to be in a rashima on that fateful day the museum also has a digital reconstruction of the actual Bowman to say today has been an emotional roller coaster would be an understatement the museum has been visited by over 50 million people and after today it’s easy to see why [Music] right then so we’re back at the reg RAR and we’re trying to find our room and we are 22 29 2223 it looks a Lovely Hotel from the lobby poly so let’s see if the room reflects that 2229 here we are that’s it green light do you have to put your card in the hole please deposit your card in there and let’s see what this room looks like oh nice now this is the observation we’ve now had a few rooms on our Tokyo Tour on a Tokyo tour our Japan tour with Rivera travel and a lot of the hotels only have t beds and this is quite an historical thing isn’t it po quite an historical thing now um earlier earlier in the cruise in the cruise in the tour uh one of the factory we were given is that the population of Japan is dwindling by 100,000 a year maybe get them beds put push together yeah exactly get some more double beds which is just alien to us isn’t it cuz whenever we travel we like a double bed and we like to snuggle up however it is what it is we can’t change that so no point worrying about it but look at this we got a lovely little table for working Bley oh that’s awesome no I’m about that that’s oh that’s I mean that’s save the holiday hooray and then we’ve got a nice little area here got Kettle oh we’re always happy with a kettle and let’s check out the bathroom there’s a big safety on the bottom and let’s check out the bathroom and then we’re here for two nights we’ve got some more sight SC to do in hoshima nice seems to be a feature as well the show over the baths to be a feature as well got some products nice looking products and happy happy happy there’s a lot of buttons on there there a lot buttons got massage paie oh oh my God massage oh get out I’m going to sit down oh my God we do love the toilets in Japan so we’re sort of settled in our hotel our luggage still isn’t here because uh kamata kamata son yes fair play to him we we’ve gone 400 something miles about 430 Mi yeah well on the bullet train that took us we had to do one change but it took 5 hours three and a bit three and a bit we left at 9ine we got here at two we got on the train at quarter to 10 and we got here at just put ha a SW it took about 4 hours um no for poo um kamasan our wonderful driver he’s bringing our main suitcases and he’s expected here about 8:00 so he dropped us off at the train station about4 9 so he had about 11 Mar’s driving so he hasn’t got here yet so we’re smelly we don’t care we’re not smelly we’re we’re washed but we got the same clothes on stupidly do we didn’t put any in our hand luggage so we’re going out we’re going to have a beer and we won’t be late because it’s another 6:30 start tomorrow yes but we’ve just spent the last hour so just trans we’ve got so much footage that we can’t wait to show you about our trip here uh we just spent ages transferring over to an external drive so we’re ready and raring to go out for the next hour before we have like you say if we don’t go now she’ll be asleep I know and I’ll go on my own and then I won’t come in at a sensible time no oh that’s true come on so this is the reception area where what’s the hotel I forgotten the hotel’s name again R Royal R Royal and as you can see it’s really really plush we’ve been very impressed so far aren’t we PA with the little bit I’ll a couple of hours car was Hing I’m going to take her shopping later and buy her that dress we get married again even though she’s my princess no lover that’s never going to happen right is this the right way out to get out it’s pants the shops isn’t it we can look at the wedding dresses again probably we can have a uh what’s the what’s it called We’re new in our vowes look you can wear this lovely blue suit look and I can get one of my legs in this dress do you like that BL suit I do like that blue suit that would be nice for cruising B this is diaper changing room yeah that’s just the toilet oh okay right so I think we found the right way first teral that’s it so we’ve got breakfast included in our room with our room included in our room not in our room with our room and it’s here so that’s from 6:30 in the morning we’ve got an early start again our bus is at half eight isn’t it for we got an Excursion it looks very popular restaurant but check out this um little what would you call this area out here poy the little Atrium this is the atrium a p but look at the escalators they’ got a fountain in the middle how cool that just makes me feel like I need a Wei now so we’re going to head out here and turn right so harashima seems a very after Tokyo it seems a very chilled out City doesn’t it po it’s very reminds me of it you know how we felt when we went to CM reap of going from the madness it was just like going to a city where you think oh you know this has got a really nice vibe to it I know we’ve only been here a short time but it does seem to have that niceness in fact talking to Bernie who’s our lovely tour guide she was saying that the feedback that Riviera got was that they used to just spend one night here in hoshima however uh all the guest feedback said hoshima is amazing can we you know our best advice would be can you change it for two nights so that’s what they’ve done so it’s great that Riviera listen to all the few is yet go the other thing we love well there lots of things that we love about Japan but one other the things that we really love is just their organization and just they just don’t break any rules today no so with pedestrian Crossings everyone just Waits they wait behind the yellow lines there and uh everyone’s very respectful so you feel very very safe so poor spotted spotted the bed wise sign beer and bar let try there Sam’s Cafe ooh let’s see where this uh takes us a lot of restaurants in Japan up the down stairs and they po oh oh this looks cool [Music] wow say how awesome is this bunk isn’t it see the things you find the things you find when Mr Morgan’s got his eagle eyes on but look let’s just bits and Bobs everywhere how cool I’m already happy with the menu because look what I spoted and I haven’t seen that Bloody Mary I need turn around and she was there they do all sorts of beers here don’t they look WIS I’ll show you so if you look beer this seems to be the place got beers from all around the world all around the world all demonstrate Mexico they got Guinness and all around between sort of 700 and 800 aren’t they which is how much foring uh well 1,000 is a f so it’s 4 and 1 half qu it’s not bad is it but the only drawback is they only take cash we’ve only got about 3,000 cash left with this so we’ll have to go the cash point we find someone else that takes cards but it’s easy to do with drout money as we explained before with our monzer accounts so we glad we got those yeah they got single loves to sing so yeah so
