Japan travel/3 days in Tokyo/DisneySea/Mt.Fuji/Hakone Volcano/Pirate Ship@Lake Ashi/Pick My Path
Hey, greetings from Japan. We’re on vacation mode. Landed at Narita Airport, courtesy of Japan Airlines. Touchdown at Narita. We got straight to business. Picked up a Suika car, a J pass, and a DKO. With all that in hand, we were all set to explore like locals and grabbed a taxi to our hotel. Taxis are quite expensive here, so you can take a train to go to Tokyo City. The room was pretty decent with a smart bathroom. We’re staying in Tokyo, right in the heart of Ginsa. It’s buzzing here. Shops, lights, and energy everywhere. [Music] Dinner plans hit a curve. Most places close by 8ish. So we did the late night hustle. So fried chicken rice bowl and onigiri from one of the trusty 24×7 condies. [Music] Next day was all about Disney sea, the one and only in the world. It was a week day, but the lines were wide. Still one stepped inside the place opened up. Massive, magical and totally worth it. [Music] We used the Disney Resort app to lock the priority passes for the popular rides and even booked lunch at one of the Disney restaurants. We kicked things off with a gondola ride. It felt straight out of vents. Smooth and magical. The park is massive, so comfy shoes were a lifaver. [Music] Then I hit the big ones. Journey to the center of the earth, 20,000 leagues under the sea, and the Disneyland Electric Rafeway. [Music] [Music] Lunch at Sakura was a total be authentic Japanese flavors that hit the spot. Then it was time to head back to our hotel. We hopped on the Disney train, made it to Disneyland station and got the next ride straight to Kinsza. [Music] We headed out on a package tour to Mount Fuji, Lake Ashi, and ended up with jaw-dropping views and peaceful boat rides. Just tapped a few times on Cloop and next thing you know, we’re floating in the air and cruising like pirates. Not bad for a day, huh? Just cruising through late April. And guess what? Sakura is still showing off. It took us about 1.5 hours by bus to reach Mount Fuji viewpoint. Lucky us the snowy roads had just [Music] It included a good soulful lunch, too. Next stop, a fancy shopping complex. There was a big sale going on, and if you had your passport, you could snag an extra 10% off. Perks of being a traveler, I guess. [Music] [Music] It’s crazy how much beauty all around and we barely stop to notice. But honestly, I love how Japan’s all modern vibes but still totally in sync with nature. [Music] The weather was all over the place. We were up on the Hakon Ro and got a peek at Wakuani Valley. Absolutely stunning, even with clouds playing spoiler. Couldn’t capture it on camera, but the views aged in our minds, clear as day. Now we have reached our next stop, Hakone Volcan, and no, it’s not erupting anytime soon. It had its fairy moment in 2015, but the stream stills rising like nature’s own tea kettle. [Music] [Music] Japan has multifarious beauty to offer to the world. Nothing less than a Swiss village. What do you think? [Music] We wrapped up the trip with a pirate ship cruise across Lake Ashi. Final stop and total showstopper. The views were unreal. Mountains, lush forests, and that iconic toriate from Hakone shrine stealing the spotlight. [Music] We docked at Hakone Machi port and hopped back on the tour bus, still buzzing from it all. Ending the vlog here. Rest in my next Japan trip video. Bye.
Tokyo DisneySea is a theme park at the Tokyo Disney Resort located in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, just next to Tokyo. It opened on 4 September 2001, at a cost of 335 billion yen. The Oriental Land Company owns the park, and licenses intellectual property from The Walt Disney Company.
Japan’s Mt. Fuji is an active volcano about 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. Commonly called “Fuji-san,” it’s the country’s tallest peak, at 3,776 meters. A pilgrimage site for centuries, it’s considered one of Japan’s 3 sacred mountains, and summit hikes remain a popular activity.
Mount Hakone, with its highest peak Mount Kami, is a complex volcano in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan that is truncated by two overlapping calderas, the largest of which is 10 × 11 km wide. The calderas were formed as a result of two major explosive eruptions about 180,000 and 49,000–60,000 years ago.
Lake Ashi, also referred to as Hakone Lake or Ashinoko Lake, is a scenic lake in the Hakone area of Kanagawa Prefecture in Honshū, Japan.
