We went to see MT. FUJI! 🇯🇵 It’s MAGICAL ✨ Lake Kawaguchi Honest Experience & Travel Tips! 🗻👀

Welcome back to a Mount Fuji vlog! Today in Japan, we’re heading to see the magnificent Mount Fuji at Lake Kawaguchi! 🗻 It’s been a dream for my bestie and I to see Mount Fuji together, but as we all know, it’s difficult to see Mount Fuji, let alone seeing it with the red maple leaves during autumn. It’s our final week in Japan, everyone told us there are no maple leaves left, but we still crossed our fingers and prayed for the best. This is the most unexpected trip of our lifetime, and I just love that I’m able to share it with you all!
