BACK IN JAPAN! 🇯🇵 Mount Fuji Tour & Tokyo Tower At Night!
The view is amazing. I feel like I’ve done enough exercise to last me a lifetime. But I did it. I did it. Hey guys. So, this is a very early start for us today. Um, so we’re going to be heading to Mount Bi, which is really exciting. So, um, we’ve just arrived on our coach and it’s going to be a 10-hour trip just for the whole thing. So, from pickup to taking us back to our hotel. Um, so yeah, it should be really, really great. The weather today is bad. It’s actually pretty warm, but it is expected to be pretty wind, maybe a bit windy. And I did actually bring my coat as well, just to be on the safe side. Um, cuz I don’t know how it’s going to be up up there. It might be a bit chilly, but to be honest, it is a bit warm. Um, it is cloudy, so they did say as well that sometimes it’s not guaranteed, but as long as we can see a little bit of it, I think that’s that’s more than okay. That’s so lucky. So we are on route at the moment. So our tour guide said that as obviously as I mentioned sometimes depending on the weather you will only be able to see Mount Viji like 30%. chance out of the whole year. Um so she said hopefully today um weatherwise it’s not too bad in terms of clouds. Um so yeah, we’ll see how it goes. So it’s actually a 2hour drive in total, but the whole trip will be 10 hours. Um and there’ll be stopoffs in between as well, which is great. So it’s literally just seeing the villages, seeing the countryides of Tokyo as well, which is it should be a really really um great experience. So definitely looking forward to that. Yeah, at the moment it’s currently on route. We also arrive at Zikashu village and it’s Japanese which means put your hands together like this. Yeah. And the houses they are sharp like this. And the the village was destroyed by a landslide in 1966 and wasn’t rebuilt until 40 years later. So the one we will visit is a new one. And after we get home. So after about a 2hour drive, um we arrived to the park that is just facing Mount Fiji. Um, it’s so huge and it’s just amazing to see this natural sort of countryside. It’s just absolutely amazing. Um, so yeah, we’re going to just kind of look around and see what’s going on. So yeah, this is kind of the area. It’s just absolutely amazing. Um, so yeah, she’s given us just under an hour to have a look, check, see how everything’s going, take in the amazing scenery. Um, and yeah, like this is just absolutely stunning. Like, I know I keep mentioning it, but it really is. Um, we’re going to just kind of see what’s around and, yeah, go from there. This area is just literally so peaceful. Like it’s just the perfect place to take a walk. Um and I’ve noticed as well there’s like little towns. Um I feel like people they actually do live here. We’ve just passed the school as well. So it is a proper community and people actually do live here. Um so yeah, it’s just it’s just amazing to see this kind of natural um wonder of the world. It’s just absolutely amazing. It really is. Um I can even just smell the fresh air as well. Yeah, it’s it’s stunning. It’s absolutely stunning. So, um, we’ve been given tickets to just explore this little village area. It’s just literally facing Mount Fuji. So, in this bit, there’s like little shops. Obviously you can see the natural wonders as well which is really really nice. Um so yeah this is pretty much the start of it and it’s so it’s so big like you can see like the way to kind of get to the top you got to walk up this really steep hill. So, I’m just like I mean it’s good exercise, but I don’t know if you can see that. You literally have to walk all the way up, but yeah, it’s just it’s just so pretty. I think this area kind of used to house a lot of the uh um locals in Japan, but now they’ve kind of changed a lot of um like modern spaces um where you can get things for the shop and things like that. But like I’m just really glad they’ve kind of kept the natural beauty of it because I feel like some things you just just can’t touch. Like this is just such one of those places where you just definitely can’t touch it natural. Um I’m out of breath. See I’ve been doing a lot of walking but just to touch this natural um scenery. So yeah. Hey guys, if you have made it this far into the video, I just want to pause you there and to remind you to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Make sure you hit that subscribe button and make sure to follow me on all of my social media platforms as well. Back to the video. Okay. So, right now we’ve finished our first location. Um, so we are heading back to the coach because um our tour guide was like at 11:00 they are leaving and it doesn’t matter if you are late because I think it’s just a Japanese culture. I think it’s just the Japanese culture that you have to be on time with everything. So, we are making our way back now and hopefully they’re still there by the time we get back. But we it’s literally not too far. Like we only walked up like 5 minutes, so it’s all good. But yeah, it’s very important to stick to it because I know she said that if um people do come late, they can get a cab to the next location, but I don’t know if there’s even cabs or anything like that around here. So, just want to make sure that we’re on time and we can go to our second location. So, as you can see behind me, another view of Mount Fiji, but this is by the lake. So, our tour guide actually took us a bit closer, so we can actually see the lake and a really good view of Mount Fiji as well. So it looks absolutely beautiful. It’s so beautiful here. Like it looks amazing as you can see as well. Like there’s like clouds. You can see the clouds really down below. Um but yeah, it’s just amazing. Like can’t stop looking at it. So, we just finished lunch right now and we are heading with the tour guide to our next point of call. Um, so this is like the proper countryside of Tokyo cuz I everyone knows like the the main city center, but there’s always like these parts of town which aren’t shown and there’s more like nature and it’s just very very chilled and the vibe is a lot very much quieter. than in city center. So yeah, this is kind of give you just an idea of the vibe. So it has gotten a little bit chilly to be honest and I think it’s because where we are seated like literally the wind is you can just feel it. So I’m glad I actually bought my jacket. Um this is actually a really warm one. So I’m so glad I bought it. Um, but yeah, I feel a lot warmer now. It’s not like a cold that you can’t cope with, but it’s just it just you just feel more comfortable having a proper jacket. So, I’m just going to head up now. I don’t think I’ll be able to do 380 steps, but let’s see how I go. I think I’ve done like 30 so far. So, let’s head on. Yeah. Yeah. I spoke to him. Is it okay? Look how steep these steps are. They’re literally so steep. But made it. I can see already the steps go all the way back there. But I think I’m okay for now to be honest. But the view here is amazing. Pagoda. Yeah, pagoda. You can see such a great view of Mount Fiji. I’ll bring the camera a bit closer. You’ll be able to see an amazing view. Oh, not even zoom in. I can’t see anyone. So, we actually did end up climbing the 3 and80 steps. Wow. I thought I couldn’t make it, but I eventually did. And you actually get an amazing view of Mount Fiji here. So amazing. So yeah, the view is amazing. Feel like I’ve done enough exercise to last me a lifetime, but I did it. I did it. Hey guys. So it’s actually the evening right now. We are heading out again, but this time we’re going to be heading towards Tokyo Tower. We actually was supposed to go um midweek, but we just didn’t get around to it. There’s just so much to see and do, so we’re heading there now. Um so yeah, see how it’s like up close and personal. So yeah. So, um, the journey actually felt pretty quick to be honest. cuz I know it’s like rush hour for them, but I actually felt pretty quick. So yeah, we have made it to Tokyo Tower. I am going to go a bit up front so you can just see just a little bit of it. You can see that behind me here. If you can just see that. But yeah, so we made it. It looks really big. It’s really, really big. Um, and I think there’s actually stairs that actually leads us up to Russo, a bit closer to it. So, yeah. And it’s actually pretty warm as well, which is great. Um, but it’s nice. It’s just nice to not be able to bring like big jackets and stuff. Um, but yeah, so we’re just going to have a look, have a browse around, take some pictures. And we was told as well that especially when it comes to sunset, that’s when the tower lights up and that’s when it’s it prettiest as well. So I think we came at the right time. It’s around 5. Was it 6 now? Um but yeah, so this sun is setting. So yeah, we are going to take some videos and yeah, do some content and stuff like that. But yeah, it looks so pretty. Looks so nice to see it in person as well. So yeah. We kind of went a bit closer. Um, so we can see the tower now. Um, but yeah, it looks so pretty. So, so pretty. So, it’s literally just becoming sunset now. So, we’re we’re going to make sure to get those pictures in as well. So, I feel like it will look really really good. I did bring my professional camera as well. You know me, I have to bring my professional camera because there’s no way I don’t think iPhone can catch some of these qualities that I’m looking for. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
