HIDDEN JAPAN | the best Mt. Fuji day trip spot NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT! ๐Ÿ—ป fujinomiya



I can’t believe I’ve never been here before ๐Ÿ˜ณ I’ve lived in Tokyo for over 3 years now and I’m always desperate for a hidden spot to visit that is easy to get to but isn’t packed with tourists…and this is definitely it ๐Ÿฅฐ

Thank you so much to the city of Fujinomiya, Shizuoka for inviting me out to participate in their taxi tour around town! Fujinomiya is easily accessible from Tokyo, just take the Kodama bullet train to Shin-Fuji Station about an hour away. If your reserve a taxi tour, you can hop in your reserved taxi and see the best spots of the city without having to plan or worry about making buses or anything (public transportation in rural areas can be difficult…) ๐Ÿฅธ

Ngl I am getting tired of the typical Mt. Fuji spots…I went to Kawaguchiko recently and it was so packed with tourists that it was difficult to enjoy some spots. Fujinomiya really is still a hidden destination, and all the content you see in this video was filmed on a Sunday!! I really didn’t try to not get people in the shots or anything by the way, this is just how it is ๐Ÿ˜‡ Amazing!!

Even without this being sponsored I would say that taxi tours are definitely the best way to see rural Japan! I’ve said a lot that cars are the best way to see rural Japan, but driving here can be stressful if you don’t know Japanese and it’s easy to take a wrong turn. Taxi tours have the route planned in advance (and you can make requests!) and you will have a local taking you to the best spots ๐Ÿ’›

    have you seen mt. fuji before!? it's a quintessential ~Japan~ spot but the most popular destinations are seriously overflowing with tourists so this is an amazing solution for people who want to skip the crowds and see a new place โคโค

    My aim is to visit Japan within a year, and be able to hold conversations with natives to a decent level. Love your channel.

    Hi Allison, Mount Fuji really is so majestic, I love the camera shots of the clouds circling around the middle. Iโ€™ve mentioned this before but Iโ€™ve always loved the way the Japanese merge water and nature together. Great to see that this is only an hour away and seems straightforward to get to as well. Thank you for sharing this experience with everyone. Best wishes to you

    Very nice video!
    I definitely also recommend Hakone and Odawara, they are a bit more well known but still not incredibly crowded (I was there in August of this year) and especially Lake Ashi is lovely. If you're lucky (which I was not), you can even see Mt. Fuji from the very relaxing sightseeing cruise!

    Also pro tip: the Taito Station arcade which is 5 mins away from Odawara Station has claw machines which are less rigged than the bigger arcades in Tokyo or Kyoto, personally with a bit of help from the employees and luck I was able to bring back a full suitcase of plushies ๐Ÿ™‚

    Next time we come to japan I would love to do this taxi tour. Thanks for sharing! BTW.. love your videos!!!!โค๏ธ

    Informative video! I would never have considered taxi tour. Is there a website I can look for that? I'll be going to Jpn in Jan and bringing an older relative with us, so that is probably the best to use for transportation.
