Great video summary!
Keep it up man,
hope soon I can visit fuji
what hotel is this?
I'm so happy I found your video. We do exactly have the same mindset on adventure vs cost vs experience. And of course the experience of driving in Japan. Me with my wife and daughter will be visiting Tokyo very soon when this pandemic is over. I've been thinking of visiting Mt. Fuji by car and was a bit worried about having to drive in the opposite seat (I'm from the Philippines) but I'm now good, so great to find your video. Thank you very much!
I drove this route in 1970 when I was there for British week with the Royal Marines. Amazing memories! Plus the Ginza strip and the Bullet train! AND everything was so expensive! But worth it..
I would like to do a driving adventure . Can you share what number and where to go to see Mt. Fuji so I could put it on my navigator ? I’ll be driving from Saitama . Haven’t tried to drive to mt. Fuji. Thanks for your video and I watched it from start to finish ! Btw. How many hours was the drive to Fuji?
Its a great idea too to try to go back on a different way.even if im not on a budget constraint,im going on a different way back. Would love to see different scenery. Take the chance.😊
Thanks for the video, I’m planning to visit Japan in November 27 2022
what are the requirements to rent, can international licence be used? and do the staff speak English or must i speak Japanese
