HIDDEN JAPAN | the best Mt. Fuji day trip spot NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT! 🗻 fujinomiya

- I can't believe I've never been here before 😳 I've lived in Tokyo for over 3 years now and I'm always desperate for a hidden spot to visit that is easy to get to but isn't packed with tourists...and this is definitely it 🥰
Thank you so much to the city of Fujinomiya, Shizuoka for inviting me out to participate in their taxi tour around town! Fujinomiya is easily accessible from Tokyo, just take the Kodama bullet train to Shin-Fuji Station about an hour away. If your reserve a taxi tour, you can hop in your reserved taxi and see the best spots of the city without having to plan or worry about making buses or anything (public transportation in rural areas can be difficult...) 🥸
Ngl I am getting tired of the typical Mt. Fuji spots...I went to Kawaguchiko recently and it was so packed with tourists that it was difficult to enjoy some spots. Fujinomiya really is still a hidden destination, and all the content you see in this video was filmed on a Sunday!! I really didn't try to not get people in the shots or anything by the way, this is just how it is 😇 Amazing!!
Even without this being sponsored I would say that taxi tours are definitely the best way to see rural Japan! I've said a lot that cars are the best way to see rural Japan, but driving here can be stressful if you don't know Japanese and it's easy to take a wrong turn. Taxi tours have the route planned in advance (and you can make requests!) and you will have a local taking you to the best spots 💛

have you seen mt. fuji before!? it's a quintessential ~Japan~ spot but the most popular destinations are seriously overflowing with tourists so this is an amazing solution for people who want to skip the crowds and see a new place ❤❤
Hi Allison, Mount Fuji really is so majestic, I love the camera shots of the clouds circling around the middle. I’ve mentioned this before but I’ve always loved the way the Japanese merge water and nature together. Great to see that this is only an hour away and seems straightforward to get to as well. Thank you for sharing this experience with everyone. Best wishes to you
Thanks! I love when the clouds circle Mt. Fuji, it really is so picturesque 💞
This was a really well done and put together video. Great work.
0:42 Legit Travel Channel opening. Hands clasped and all! 🤭👍
Hehe my secret dream 🤪
@@AllisoninTokyo Get her on your radar, @TravelChannel! 🙏👍
Shizuoka prefecture has so many amazing Fujisan viewpoints. I think most tourists tend to visit Yamanashi which is also great, but Shizuoka is awesome because of the lack of crowds. It really is a hidden gem. In some ways I hope it stays like that, but they also deserve the recognition.
Looks like you managed to visit on a great day, thank you for sharing.
My city 🥺🥺 so cool to see you share these places, I love it here
That looks like such a nice, relaxing tour! Thanks for sharing it.
Possibly the best view of mount fuji ive seen
What a great travel destination. Thanks for taking us with you 😊
very cute video. and your tour guide at 9:40 adorable haha:)
Amazing video! Such great vibes 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for showing us your time at Mt. Fuji. It looked absolutely amazing there and you were so happy to be there. 😁
Beautiful video! Will definitely add this to our itinerary when we visit Japan a few years from now.
☀️☀️
Looks like a really cool trip and so glad the mountain came out to play 😊
Me too 🤪
this was a nice, mellow, girls day trip - super chill vibes
Ok first I thought ugh YT click bait is disgusting. Fujinomiya and no one knows? It's like the most famous photo spot of Fuji.
You didn't go there lol I honestly didn't know about most of this ^^;;;
I lived at the base of Fuji in Gotemba for a year and every video I watch with her just makes me miss seeing her some mornings or walking the hall of the school I worked at. I played red rover with my 4th graders with her in the background... I miss the shy girl so much!!
Great video Allison!
"girl dinner" 🤣 When I was in Japan we drove up near the summit and I had Fuji San shaped melon bread that was still warm and soooooo good. And I sent a postcard to myself from the post office there. It was so pretty. Our tour guide said that Mt. Fuji is really hard to see in summer and she had prepared postcards with pics of Mt. Fuji on it for us, but when we were there the skies completely cleared and we had a picture perfect view for the 40 min or so that we were at the summit. It was amazing!
Such a great video!!! I can’t wait to see you get more opportunities like this and show us around Japan! ✨✨✨
Just got back from a 3-week trip to Japan and your channel and passion for the country were an amazing source of inspiration to plan our journey! Can't wait to visit again to experience more of Japan's culture and people!
I enjoyed this video immensely. I would love to enjoy these same places, if I get to return to Japan. My son and I visited in March, but didn't make it to Mt. Fuji, sadly.
Very nice video!
I definitely also recommend Hakone and Odawara, they are a bit more well known but still not incredibly crowded (I was there in August of this year) and especially Lake Ashi is lovely. If you're lucky (which I was not), you can even see Mt. Fuji from the very relaxing sightseeing cruise!
Also pro tip: the Taito Station arcade which is 5 mins away from Odawara Station has claw machines which are less rigged than the bigger arcades in Tokyo or Kyoto, personally with a bit of help from the employees and luck I was able to bring back a full suitcase of plushies :)
Next time we come to japan I would love to do this taxi tour. Thanks for sharing! BTW.. love your videos!!!!❤️
🚕🚕
Really enjoy how you present yourself and Japan. If I were a lot younger would love to live in Japan. Thank you for the videos
It's such a great place to visit. Nice work. 🎉🎉 Have a lovely day 🎉🎉
Thanks for the video, I am always looking for different places to go in Japan, but especially different views of fuji.
Ohh💙🗻
My aim is to visit Japan within a year, and be able to hold conversations with natives to a decent level. Love your channel.
Good luck 💪
Informative video! I would never have considered taxi tour. Is there a website I can look for that? I'll be going to Jpn in Jan and bringing an older relative with us, so that is probably the best to use for transportation.

Omg. Looks so nice and peaceful. Incredible vibes. I'm going to drive my gf crazy mentioning this place after we visit NYC 😂. Thanks for this video!
omg this vid is like watching a tv show with a proper guide!!
love your videos ❤❤!!!

There are a lot of videos about Mt.Fuji, but from this Fujinomiya area is rare. Thank you and I would like to visit there.
This looks really amazing! Our trip is booked for next year, but I'm still researching things to possibly do and see. Thanks for something to add to the list of possibilities!
Rất đẹp .. ❤❤❤
"Tastes like mountain" was a great word choice.
I like this more than Tokyo Creative videos.
Visiting Fujinomiya and Fuji City is on my to-do list. This area is south of Mt. Fuji and if I want to have a photo of a sunlit mountain, I have to be on this side. It also helps that Yuru Camp has scenes around here and the Izu Peninsula to visit too.
What a lovely trip! 😊
so nice thanks for the trip, love the 🐢
This video deserves more views. It was so well shot. Great job, Allison!
Hello, big fan. I saw u 2 days ago. I was about to say hello, but the intervertness held me back 😂
🥺
Japan has loads of man- made beauty, but imho the natural beauty is saikou❤
When you are driving it’s hard to take in the sights, sonic a taxi is driving then you can see the sights and take photos too.
Hi Allison! So sad, we just got back from Tokyo and are only seeing this now!! It looks wonderful, we’ve visited Yamanashi in winter earlier in Jan this year and Fuji-san was utterly majestic, we were lucky it wasn’t too crowded! Wish we could’ve also seen Fujinomiya this autumn!
May I ask for Fujinomiya- are there other package options for the taxi tour if you have a set budget ? Thank you so much!
Wow the views are so beautiful! I will definitely be adding this to our future trip list. Could you share which taxi package option you did? If I had the right site, I saw they have several and we'd definitely want to stop for the yakisoba and blue mountain ice cream!

Allison I would love to do this exact itinerary. But when I go to the link to book, it's only in Japanese. Can you please advise how to book a private taxi for this Itinerary. Would like to book for May 14, 2024. there is 8 in our group staying in Shinjuku. Thanks Allison.

Beautiful 😊
whens the best time to go to be able to see mt fuji without clouds blocking?
Thanks for great video. It's great that Fujinomiya isn't overrun by tourists. Would it be difficult on a taxi tour without speaking Japanese? How did you book the taxi tour?
Hello! You can book it here: forms.gle/hJTSbFsy1VnUVBUW9 :)
Hi Allison, If I'm planning to hike Mt. Fuji, would Fujinomiya be a good place to rent an airbnb for a few days?
Hello Allison,
I’ve watched this video many times!!! I’d love to do this exact itinerary!! I keep going to your suggested link hoping the taxi company’s website will be in English-- to no avail. Is there a way you could give me there email link or some idea when the “English coming soon” will be? I am travelling May 2024, we are a party of 8 friends and would like to do this trip to Fujinomiya May 14. We are staying in Shinjuku across from the Gov. BLDG. and park. So difficult trying to book this, I really don’t want the tourist riddled Hakone, Fuji Tour!! Please help is you can!!
Lisa 🇨🇦
Hi!! They actually just sent me the English website if you are interested!! fuji-fujinomiya.taxi-tour.jp/
@@AllisoninTokyo fantastic Allison!! I’m on it now!! Thanks for replying this information, super appreciate this:)
Price of the travel without being sponsored?
Between 20,000ish and 40,000ish depending on time (4/6 hours) and size of taxi (normal or van)! I think it's a good price if you are a family or split it as a group 🤗
@@AllisoninTokyo That's a good price. I paid 8000 for a one hour taxi tour on Mount Rokko in Kobe. The driver took me to the observation decks for the famous night views.
