    I know I shouldn’t, but I giggled every time you wanted something to eat only to find the restaurants all closed each time. Love this channel, keep up the great work.

    Wow! That was a really beautiful view of Mt. Fuji. It was a surprise - I didn't think you could see it from that island. But I'm glad you survived to post this and didn't starve on the remote, undeveloped island that has no food! No wonder they have those refrigerator lockers on the ship so locals can bring food to the island!

    And yeah, little towns can be pretty much dead commerce wise certain days of the week, and tourist can just starve, pretty much. Hopefully you found at least a conbini open!

Other than The Bahamas I have never been out of the states. Before I watch your video I look around on Google Earth at where you are traveling and I am learning a lot about beautiful Japan and her culture. Thank you. P.S. Tokyo is stunning at night.

    That was a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji, I wasn't expecting that you would be able to see it from there at all, let alone so clearly. That crashing noise early on sounded like someone was bashing on a small gong or cymbal, either that or some pans fell off a shelf. Too bad nothing was open when you wanted breakfast, but we have your second channel to look at food tours.
