The three of you had a great time going around the lake. The scenery was beautiful, and the trees shedding their leaves were magical. Love your videos going around Japan.
Kilamanjaro is so on the list too!! Fuji isn’t too hard to get to from Tokyo luckily!! And flights to Tokyo have been getting more and more affordable. Before the pandemic they had a $99 flight from HNL that was planned and just about to start. Not anymore but, maybe they’ll pick that back up one of these days.
河口湖（Kawaguchiko), 湖(Ko)＝Lake Lake Kawaguchi is one of the lakes around Mt. Fuji and is located at an altitude of about 830 meters, making it cooler than Tokyo even in mid-summer.
It was definitely cooler when we visited, and such a nice break from the city!! Thank you for the info on it, I hope future visitors find it helpful! :)
Hi!! Thank you so much!! We visited in mid-November (11-13 to be exact)... the fall colors can change a little every year, but this is a good time to visit for a solid chance at seeing the peak colors!
Ah I live so close to this area, I’m so jealous you were able to see the leaves. I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to make it there during this time of year. Fuji San is so so beautiful and this is definitely the best time of year to see it
hi Brianna do you know when is the exact best time to visit Momiji Corridor? I really want to see the leaves in full autumn bloom so i will plan my trip accordingly to those dates. Please do let me know if you're familiar with it thank you
Thank you for the beautiful images of Mt.Fuji. Mount Fuji is the heart of the Japanese people. I will subscribe to your channel. I look forward to seeing more great videos.
So happy it was helpful to you!! It was very very beautiful! In more crowded areas they had designated bike parking areas, but in most places just parking them off to the side was fine! :)
I have really enjoyed your tour of Mount Fuji . I never get tired of enjoying the great atmosphere of this area. Thanks for sharing. Like and support from Bangalore
ようこそ日本へ！そして山梨県へ！地元人としてとても嬉しいです。ディズニーランドの動画も楽しく拝見させていただきました！もちろんチャンネル登録もしましたよ！ Welcome to Japan! And to Yamanashi Prefecture! I'm very happy as a local. I also enjoyed watching the videos of Disneyland! Of course, I also subscribed to the channel!
Can you give a time stamp for the exact shot? If I remember correctly I think oishi park was right on the lake, so the area that would have boats, but I want to make sure 🤗
Hi!! That's awesome you have a trip coming up! I hope you love it! I am not sure which exact bus we took, I think it might have been the Shinjuku expressway, but I don't remember for sure. I do know that it was from Tokyo Station directly to Kawaguchiko. Bags are not a problem on these tourist buses! They have a section underneath the seating area and as you get on the driver (or their assistant) will take your bag and give you a ticket to hold on to until you get to your destination. You can collect your bags at your stop! :) As an extra tip, I would bring valuables, breakables, or electronics with you as a "carry on" type item. Japan is very safe, but all of the bags get put below and you don't want your stuff squished!
Hello. Looks amazing. We are a family of 4 with 2 younger kids and no car, unfortunately. Do you think we can stay there for 3 days and just take the public transportation and bikes to site see?
Hi Hang!! I think it would be absolutely doable! There are buses that run around the lake and it is a very walkable area too! As far as having young kids on bikes, there are some roads you may need to bike on depending on where you go. None were very busy when we went, but I would be very careful with small children... or perhaps call ahead to a few bike shops to see if they have one of those bike trailers you can put kids in. :) Hope you have an amazing trip! :D If theres anything else we may be able to help with, feel free to reach out anytime!
Biking looks so fun. Are locks provided for the bikes or do you leave them in the racks with no fear of them being taken? We will be in Japan for the first time in May. We enjoy your videos so much, you guys are so easy to listen to and very warm.
Wow thank you!! The bikes came with locks attached, they’re a key lock on the rear wheel! but Japan is also a very safe country! You’d probably be able to not lock it too, but always better to when you can! :)
Lovely video! We are trying to do the same route this October, however my partner just recently learnt how to bike so this trail is sounding too ambitious a beginner. How long did it take for you and was is too tiring ? I understand it depends on if you are used to biking often too but wanted to get a general idea of difficulty level
Ahh awesome! It will be a lively time to visit! I think it was relatively easy and flat, a few hills but nothing too steep. They have e-bikes available and they do the hard work for you, makes it super easy!! :) though I’d do a quick lap around a quiet area because they can feel a little unwieldy if you haven’t ever been on one! (It’s quick to learn but takes off a bit faster than you’d expect lol) To bike around without filming maybe takes half a day. For perspective: Alan’s mom who was in this video is in her 60’s and did just great!! How are you on your balance?? Most of the trail has a dedicated path around the lake, but some parts require you to bike on the road. People are respectful and it’s easy, but something to be aware of if you’re afraid of falling.
Ohh both are so lovely!! You can actually see Fuji from the Izu peninsula if both are on your bucket list. What time of year will you go?? If Autumn, Fuji is just incredible. So much fall foliage. Also would you prefer a quieter sea-side experience? Or a slightly busier mountain town?
@@IfWeGoTo That's so cool! We're going for sakura season next year! I'm not quite sure hahah I'd prefer quieter places I think but I'm bringing my parents and brother with me so this trip is mainly for them. My dad would enjoy a more luxurius place I believe.
@@QueenJaneway Ohh that is tough!! Where in the Izu Peninsula are you considering?? Honestly for a one time trip, I'd probably choose Kawaguchiko because it's SO iconic and very beautiful. As I understand, Izu is rarely visited (except for Hakone)... more off the beaten path. On the other hand, it's likely Kawaguchiko will be very crowded in sakura season.
We would leave them in designated bike parking areas or in spots where other people were leaving them! The bikes came with locks so we did lock them, but we didn’t have to lock them to anything. Japan is pretty safe and it would be highly unlikely it would be stolen even if entirely unlocked! Hope that helps!!
Hi! on What time did you begin your day as on the video? I'm currently planning but doesn't know what time to arrive and when to start, wether I should stay 1 night or 2 night, thank you!
Hi!! We started in the morning, probably 9-10 am and finished at maybe 5-6pm! I think you could do the lake in a day, but if you really want to relax i would do two!! :) Hope that helps!
@@IfWeGoTo me and my mate walked around there pretty sure yous passed us a few time I remembered seeing you recording under the trees and at the shrine on to of the big rock thing
@@IfWeGoTo we walked the whole way around the lake. Definitely should have hired a bike but we didn’t know anything about the area so just started walking
@@IfWeGoTo thanks for the response. Looks like it was November 11 on your phone. Do you think 3 days is too much? I'm thinking day 1 go to Fuji from Tokyo. Day 2 fully in Fuji area, and day 3 is half day in Fuji then return to Tokyo?
Anytime! And yes, we stayed November 11-13! Fall colors can vary a bit year to year, but I think that would be about right! I think your schedule is good, that’s about what we did!
We had a GoPro mounted to the bicycle frame using one of those bendy tripods so it was hands off!! 😊 (Except that one single selfie shot you may have seen in the beginning, we filmed that on a totally empty side street and only for that second - I don’t trust myself to film and ride 😂)
The fall color is amazing! I love it!
It was definitely the most beautiful fall we’ve experienced!!
Great vid guys! Can't wait to see your Miyajima content!
Thank you!!! I hope that one turns out well, the island was gorgeous!!!
晴れて、富士山がキレイに見えて良かったですね。紅葉も見ごろで美しい。
秋に訪れることができてとてもうれしいです。それは絶対に豪華でした！
The three of you had a great time going around the lake. The scenery was beautiful, and the trees shedding their leaves were magical. Love your videos going around Japan.
It was a really beautiful and fun experience!! So happy you enjoyed the video and views too!!!
Beautiful and colorful landscape around Mt. Fuji.
Japan in the fall is absolutely stunning! Mt. fuji was an absolute treat to see that time of year!!
I can't wait to visit Japan. Japan so amazingly beautiful!!! We love Japan!!! 🇲🇾♥️🇯🇵♥️♥️
Hope you get to soon!! It is a wonderful country!! Are you writing from Malaysia?
I hope you to have a great time ! Welcome to Japan
I have always wanted to visit Japan’s Mt. Fuji and Kilamanjaro
Kilamanjaro is so on the list too!! Fuji isn’t too hard to get to from Tokyo luckily!! And flights to Tokyo have been getting more and more affordable. Before the pandemic they had a $99 flight from HNL that was planned and just about to start. Not anymore but, maybe they’ll pick that back up one of these days.
Great video! It’s looks so beautiful over there, and those old shrines are incredible.
Thank you!! Very happy you enjoyed it!! It is definitely a beautiful area with fantastic history! Thank you guys! Happy holidays!!

If you are going to Kawaguchiko, I recommend the hotel called "Kukuna". You can see Mt. Fuji from your room. Have a nice trip!
That is awesome!! Thanks for the recommendation!!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks
You too, thank you very much!!!
We were here in 2019, amazing place! Wanna go back :)
Hope you make it back soon! It is gorgeous!!
Ah I live so close to this area, I’m so jealous you were able to see the leaves. I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to make it there during this time of year. Fuji San is so so beautiful and this is definitely the best time of year to see it

Thank you!! So happy you enjoyed it!! I hope you get to visit soon!!
What a great view while you are biking.🐸
It was amazing!!! Happy holidays you guys!!
Perfect
Thank you for the very informational video! Looks amazing. Are there convenient spots to park the bicycles as you hop from location to location?
So happy it was helpful to you!! It was very very beautiful!

Hi love your videos.
When you went to Lake Kawaguchiko, was it the peak autumn ? Or you preferred if you went earlier
Hello!! Thank you so much! So happy to hear you’ve enjoyed them!
It seemed to be peak autumn when we went, it was just perfect!!
@@IfWeGoTo Very pretty indeed 😊 Thank you and look forward to more of you guys !
Thank you!!
とてもきれいな映像です🤭
ありがとう!
what date is your visit? i need to adjust my date this year for autumn leaves.
Hello!! We visited in mid november! But the colors can peak depending on the weather that year!
Hope that helps!
