Tokyo is great — there’s no doubt about that — but sometimes you just want to escape and see another side to Japan. Within 2 hours of the big city, you can get uninterrupted views of Mt. Fuji, beautiful national parks and Kyoto-like shrines and traditional buildings.

first!
Was planning some last minute day trips in my itinerary. Thanks a lot for this video!
Another great day trip is mt nokogiri and kusatsu
This is going to come in so handy for my trip in October. Solo, one week, not much planned (yet)
Excellent video!!
This gives me such great ideas. Ive been many places around Tokyo perfecture. Fuji. Saitama. Totoro Forest. More places to come. I absolutely love this country.
Totoro Forest near the Lions stadium is a must see dor Totoro and Ghibli fans. I took 3 trains from Shinjuku to get there. I think about 2 hours each way? Doesnt matter. It was the trip of a lifetime. It was like being transformed into the My Neighbor Totoro movie! 😍. Absolutely enchanting!
Also can take a day trio to Nagoya and go see Mei and Satsuki's house and the new Ghibli theme park! It's a bit far. Plan for about 3 hours each way but how can you pass it up? it's a little closer from Osaka and Kyoto, which could be good day trip options albeit, again, distance by train is well over 2 hours.
Tokyo Disneyland is amazing. Go see both parks.
There's so much to see and do in this amazing country.
Thank you! my flight is in 12h😂I was actually planning just to do day trips around Tokyo instead of visiting the big cities for my first time in Japan, so this video was fate
