Man, you tell an amazing story. So much facial emotion haha ... freakin love it. You're like a real life anime character.
I love how perfect the timing worked out. The moment you decided to track down your mic, the kind Japanese man brought it to you! Good thing you didn't miss him lol.
Everything about the background music is perfect!
I am very thankful for that man!
I have been in Japan since 2008, but this place still amazes me, and when I get to see wonderful experiences like this from new visitors to Japan, it just makes me smile. I have lost several things while being here, and have been able to recover them most of the time. Glad it worked out for you too!
Amazing video. This was basically my first time experience dealing with the same issue. Wind, rain, and fog covering Mt. Fuji. One day I’ll get “the shot” but I’m glad it worked out!

Sony camera instead of fuji camera🤣🤣🤣🤣 really top take
@@ashwinr7 should've at least brought the Fuji X100V with us!
this was so fun to watch, can't wait for the next episode!! give us part 2 of the kawaguchiko leg of your trip alreadyyyyy
we are working as fast as we can!! 🐹🛞
i really love the way you tell your story with such enthusiasm, you are really one of my favorites here in UA-cam
Wow thank you Aeron!
This is giving me flashbacks to my stay in Osaka. We booked the whole month of April for sakura season across Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. The first week was amazing. The second week was so windy that we spent 3 of the 4 weeks with no sakura. At least the ground was pink.
ouch!!!
Sounds like you got some awesome pink ground shots
It was very nice meeting you at the pagoda last November. Luck was on our sides that the next day the weather was way better!!! Best of luck on your next travels, Copter from Thailand.
Haha you met me at my worst moment 😂 What time did you go back the next day? It was perfect right?!
Great great watch! Glad it worked out, and you got some incredible footage/photos! Looking forward to more in the series!
So glad to run into you in Kyoto!
Oh my gosh, what a mission! Kudos for persevering and so glad you got such a beautiful shot in the end! 😍
thank you Karla!
I left my Sony A7R with Voigtlander lens on the train, had to turn back 3 stations and was able to be reunited with it after losing it for 2 hrs. Then the following day I lost my train pass and was able to find it at the station 👍
how many things and times did you lose?! glad you were able to retrieve 'em!!
@@JasonVong just once for my camera and once for my train pass
All of my clear shots of mt Fuji has always been early in the morning for some reason😂
U r crazy this 10:35 is so unique and powerful. Refreshing and shows power of nature at Mount Fuji.
A great story on your Japan, Mt. Fuji quest. I can only imagine the feeling of walking up the stairs can be an adventure of its own. The perseverance and patience presents its reward with its exquisite view. Wishing you both safe travels.
Thank you Henry!
Hi Jason…..Thank Photography God that I found you in YT…..I simply love your story telling style and most important your photos that you take
thank you so much!!!
the triumphs hit so hard in these videos!! awesome work jason! can't wait for the next one!
🥹🥹🥹 thank you
What an incredible video!!! You guys are the best!!!
🥹 thanks Faruk! happy to know you're enjoying the series!
Every video I watch = new fear unlocked, I’m scared. Love your content and commitment thank you!
Great story telling, Jason. love this series....can't wait to hear about the next!
Thanks Jason! Next episode in March!
Mount Fuji is considered Japan’s symbol. Not only because it’s the highest mountain in Japan, but also because of its distinctive beautiful feature.
It was inscribed on the World Heritage list in 2013.
Nice tidbit! thank you for that!
Excellent video you two! I love the thrill and drama. I say it was all success and really highlights what actually goes on in the life of our camera adventures.
It's never easy but it's worth it, right?
Great vlog series, keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Enjoying your story. Living here I’m amazed how Shy Fuji is. Hit or miss… mostly miss! Congratulations on your persistence.
Seeing Fuji on a clear day will depend on the individual's luck but getting Fuji on a clear day with either cherry blossoms or peak red leaves will take a divine intervention 😂
Better than a Hollywood blockbuster!
wow thank you James!
Awesome adventures.. very nice of that guy to look for the mic owner
I really thought nothing can level with Peter Mckinnon's Bucket Shot video, but this is it. Natural born storyteller!
aww thank you Ronnie!!
One of the best story tellers out there on youtube. ...❤
wow thank you!! 🥹
Don’t cry Jason and Vivian 😢 your adventures will fill your life for a life time 😊
Jason and Vivienne, I am loving your Travel Gone Vong episodes and your vlogs in general. The storytelling, humor, video edits and footage makes it a really enjoyable and entertaining viewing experience and different to the usual 'travel review' vlogs out there. Well done and looking forward to more.
wow thank you! really appreciate you taking the time to check this new series out! 🥰
Enjoyed this very much! Entertaining from beginning to end! Looking forward to more Vong adventures!
appreciate you watching both videos! thank you!
Kudos to you both. Inspirational story to not give up.
thank you Brad!
Got goosebumps from the hopes and prayers coming true to get that perfect landscape shot ❤ big ups to the video!! Love every bit of it
thank you Jon!
😂😂😂😂 epic… cannot wait for more
thank you!! Next episode in March! 🥹
Epic video! Loving the Japan travel content.
You should really thank and appreciate Vivian's persistence to follow you around and be willing to go up those stairs more than once. Great job for both of you. Congrats!
were you the one who left a similar comment in the last video?? haha blessed to have her by my side every day!
@@JasonVong no, I didn’t know that someone else shares the same thought. You’re blessed indeed.
I was there 2 weeks ago, and there were no clouds, except for the top 😭😭 Fuji was too shy to show himself in all it’s splendor
I love Lawson’s egg sandwiches too!! 😂
The best! And famichiki too!
Thanks, really enjoyed the video, gave us some good insights to just keep trying
I like to shoot grimier urban stuff, some backgrounds of you walking through the neighborhood were my "oh yeah, that would be a nice shot", overcast weather is welcome too 😆
Thank you for the video.. Anymore of these?
That leaf on your face felt like Will Smith's slap! XD
Slap heard across all of Japan 🤣
Great content Jason! looking forward for the next one! funny and inspirational :)
happy to hear you enjoyed it so much! Next episode in March !
The video shots with the wind! It looks amazing! What luck to run in to terrible weather!
you might call it luck. I call it trials and tribulations. 🫠
😅😂😁Love it😍😋😘
Great job 👏 👍 love the series keep them coming. 😀
hey! glad you got some time to watch this! thank you!
@Jason Vong quick question if you have time...when u do your vlogs do u have your camera constantly recording or try to catch moments separately....because I can imagine how much footage it would be if u have to go threw hours of video to make a video.
@@chickenandricecrew9867 I roll the whole time on the GoPro but record moments on the big cameras. Yes it is a nightmare to deal with all these footage. 🥲🥲
@Jason Vong thank you for the reply....same here I try to capture the moments or else it's a ton of video footage to go threw.
Your sufferings convinced me to like& subscribe 😂
haha thank you and welcome aboard!
Great video! Nice to see your perseverance paid off 😄
Enjoy your story n wonderful pictures.. Thanks for sharing.. Any trip/stories from your trip to Hokkaido?
Awesome video, I love the commentary and the way you told the story. The ultra wide footage from the new Sony 11mm F1.8 looks spot on and sharp. A great little lens, I have the same one.
11mm F/1.8 came in clutch so many times! With the crane m3, it was perfect! thanks for watching!!
This is very inspiring! :) Will prepare for next spring to capture Mt. Fuji.
Man, you're so talented
Thank you!!
I plan on doing some Mt. Fuji cherry blossom photography next spring when I'm in Tokyo. 😎
Fuji can't go wrong with the Vong !!! Congratz guys
the mt fuji shot is incredible
Thank you Ben! 🥹
Love both great couple, travel and overcome challenges together.
Many unexpected things will happen during travel.
Ha! Your storytelling is the best.
Thank you!!
Thank you for the beautiful shots of Mt. Fuji from Fuji-Yoshida/Kawaguchiko. I currently live in Yamanashi Prefecture, and getting a good shot of the mountain is really challenging due to unpredictable weather and ever-growing crowds. So glad that your prayers to the FujiFilm gods were heard!!
Hope you come back again for cherry blossom season!
We are making plans for Spring as we speak!
@@JasonVong Mt. Fuji is also beautiful at sunset when the mountain turns red in color, so hopefully you'll be able to check them out next time. (Aka-Fuji during the summer months, Beni-Fuji during the winter months, and Diamond Fuji when the sun sets just behind the peak of the mountain year-around).
These are great videos Jason! Excited to see the next one! 🙌
Thanks Matt! Next ep will be out early March!
I will go to Japan in March/April of this year, i really hope to be able to see the Pagona with the Cherry blossom hahaha.
I need the next episode so bad 👌🏻🙏🏻🤧
Nice! Enjoy! Spring time is a great time! Let’s hope the cherry blossoms will bloom 😅 Next episode will be released early next month!
“The wind got no chill”, about to use that line someday 😂
you should! I had that line in my pocket for years now! and finally! 💨🥶
You guys hit the sweet spot! Awsome job, I feel like I'm right there with you guys. I love it, so where's our next stop? 😁👍
Back to Mt. Fuji! 😂 still got two more shots to grab! Next episode in March! Thank you Bobby G Master!
Best series! It´s all about the journey, not the destination! ^^
Thank you Ben!!
路不拾遗 is a virtue also practised in Japan. Good to know!
Great video and story! We are planning to go this December, hope for the good weather to take some epic shots
this is bloody epic
thank you!!
Yooo nice!
I miss Japan so much!
We visited in 2023 and it was so foggy and rainy we couldn't even see mount fuji - so you did very well!
Nailed the shots at the Pagoda. You said it best, sunrise is the best time there and if you really want them shots, more days are usually necessary 😂
Let's do Cherry Blossoms together!
Dropped my 100 dollar lens filter at Mt Washington last spring.
i... im.. sorry
Excellent 👍🎉
Thank you!
I've been prioritising sakura when in Japan but I am so hyped for the autumn trip now hahha
what time did you make it on the top? 7ish or even earlier in the morning?
The Luck of Vong! Getting as popular as Murphys law.
Your story telling, editing skills combined with the music absolutely AMAZING! Been watching you since the A6400 days #3yearsago 🙏🏾
thank you guys! hows the ol' a6400?
@@JasonVong oh that’s sold long ago 🫣 A7iv with the 16-35gm now for our travel content #NotSoLight #ShoulderDayEveryday🥹🤣🤣
Expectation, deception, hope, despair, joy... this video got it all!!! 😄. Thanks for sharing! But wth was happening with dji mic? Bad clip? Kind regards
the jacket I was wearing has thick materials so the magnet didn't hold up. 🫠
@@JasonVong 😓😓😓
😂😂🙌🙌 love it
Thanks for documenting your experience! I'm going with my mom in April and we're hoping to get some good views 🙏
have fun!! watch out the stairs though
So good, really enjoying
so amazing ~~~~ beautiful
I must have been there a few days before you. The leaves were all there and we didn't have the wind or clouds. I'm pretty sure the weather was perfect because I shoot with a Canon! Your pictures turned out great though! I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one struggling with the stairs!
ah damn! Fuji Gods are biased with Canons eh? Should've known...
“The answer is now obvious” for a second I thought jason was going to say “I need that shot don’t care about the world!” 😂😂😂 .
if it was a good weather day, I would 100% ditch the mic!
@@JasonVong a 36 box of apple air tags 🏷️ , for the mic for the camera for the gf . phone #1 phone #2 , wallet , bags , baggage , 😆😆😆
Fricken AWESOME!🎉 I hope to have da same luck with weather as you two did! When’s da next episode??
thank you my man! Next episode will be out early next month!
Hey Jason! That's cool you follow Vong too! Nice seeing you here on youtube!
@@motonagam Hey Masashi🤙🏽 Fancy meeting you here… yup I follow Vong for reviews on stuff I wanna buy and places I wanna shoot… plus his content is pretty funny too! Glad to hear from you!👍🏽
Great work Jason, excellent storytelling!
wow thank you! 🥹
perfect! just got to work time to eat my bfast and watch!
That's what I used to do too. Clock in and watch UA-cam 😂 (for research purposes)
Mt Cloudji. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I had to pause there to comment.
Mt Cloudji makes it's return in the next episode... 😶🌫
Great storytelling and editing!
thanks Will!
What lens did you use to take those photos?
Dam 400 steps each for two days straight.. I nearly died my first round 🤣
I visited during January and had 3 clear days - my redemption trip to see Fuji-san after two previous trips failed.. it was heartbreaking.
LOVE this video! What lens did you use for your x3 Mt. Fuji photos (14:18 minutes)? Thank you!
Loving your Japan series! Keep going!
thanks for tuning back Taison!
This should be a TV show!
im ready for netflix or somebody to green light me. I already made all these pilots! 😂
You make such a nice couple 💚
Ha so funny! This trip surely reinforced your marriage.
These videos are great !
thank you!
Great video! Interestingly the landscape photogs I follow hate blue skies and like a bit of mist, cloud and rain, so next season dramatic thunder and lightening behind mt Sony or was that mt Nikon ?? 🤣
This was me and my wife in Banff.
nooo!! did you guys end up getting the shot?!
@@JasonVong I did not. We will be heading back to Banff, hopefully later this year. It will happen next time!
Hey, thanks for the video! Which month / week of the year were you there for the red foliage?
That location near Fuji is notorious for ruining the view with cloud. People have spent years visiting it to get that shot and never seen it, you have to be very lucky.
nice story
