That was brilliant, I’ve been to Japan 5 times but have not had such a clear view of Fuji San. It gave me goosebumps. Thank you. 🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
Oh wow thank you so much!! Yes we couldn't believe our luck either! It was such a clear day, so thankful!!
Japan just seems like a huge real life Pokémon adventure
Haha the truth! 😄
Great video both of you, thank you for providing us with the great scenery
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoyed ☺️
Amazing guys! We're planning our one day next to mt Fuji and we'll take literally all from U!
We just used this exact plan in our itinerary except we went up the ropeway instead of walking around the lake and it worked out perfectly for a day trip to Mt Fuji ❤ Thanks for sharing! It was really helpful with knowing where to go for the bus and how to book 😊
Hey Heidi! Sorry for the late reply! We’re so happy we managed to help plan your trip here! How was the Ropeway?! We were gutted that it closed by the time we got there. We absolutely loved this day trip!
I'm planning on going early March. Can I know how much did it roughly cost for the trip?
0:40 ep😊
Amazing shots!!! Keep enjoying Japan!! 🥹🫶
Thanks so much! We love Japan!
I'm planning to visit tokyo & mt. fuji in end of March! thanks for this
Thank you for making this great video!
So glad you enjoyed! Thank you for the kind comment 🙏🏼 hope it helps 😄
Thank you for this. Arrived in Japan with little research done because it was a last minute trip and I'll go to Mt Fuji on a whim tomorrow and will follow your guidance! Cheers!
Amazing! You won’t regret it, fingers crossed for a clear day for you 😄☀️
Thank you so much for the video! I'm be visiting Japan in December and visiting Mount Fuji is on my itinerary. This was so helpful!
You are more than welcome! Hope you have the best time!
Epic views at the Pagoda❤
In a week I'll follow the exact same trip this video convinced me 👀
Best of luck! Have a best time!
Loved this! Super helpful! I have a question though, was the roundtrip bus you guys booked the one from Shimoyoshida? Also what is the latest you can leave the area? (If you know) I’m going soon and would love to know!
Thank you!
いい天気🎉
hello again, i already found an alternative route. I cant seem to find the direct route from Shinjuku to shimoyoshida. But i'll just go to Kawaguchiko station then Shimoyoshida station and follow your steps from there hihi!! I'll be travelling alone in Japan on January thanks for your video!!! very informative and helpful for me.
Another one of those late night In N Out and watch Twosome Travelers kinda nights 😌
Now that is our kind of nights!! (In N out that is! Not that we watch ourselves 😂) thanks bro! 🙏🏼
What time of the year were you guys in Mt Fuji? I'm heading to Japan for the first time in January and researching a bunch, your videos have helped heaps!
excellent!!!
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
Very nice video. By the way, how did you create the animated map video with the bus you used here?
love your video
Thank you so much for showing prices in AUD . All other vlogs use USD and man… tired of converting everytime 😅
Oh and Asian Queenstown 😂
Great video! How did you arrive in the pagoda first? It seems like the buses only arrive at Kawaguchiko or the Fiji park
My friend has 2 houses in Shizouka my first visit she took me up to her guest room and out the window was Mt Fuji .
Hey love your videos they’re so helpful and you’ve beautifully captured Mt. Fuji ☺️
I was just trying to to book bus tickets online using the link but couldn’t figure out properly as it does not allow me to book from Shinjuku to Shimoyoshida…do you have other link options on where to buy bus tickets in advance?
Beautiful vlog, I'm going to Japan next month... i can't wait 😂😂😂 I love your sunnies Alex, may i know what brand is that? Thanks ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for your kind words! Have an amazing trip! And yes of course they are from 'and other stories' :)
Thank you for this useful video. Just a couple of questions:
Can you book the bus tickets in advance?
Shimoyoshida stop isn’t on the timetable link you shared. Please help🙏🏽🙏🏽
Amazing shots, thank you for sharing. What time did you guys end up heading back to Tokyo?
Thanks so much! Can't remember the exact time but we walked back round the lake after the sun had set and think we got on the bus around 7.30ish :)
Thank you so much!@@TwosomeTravellers
Great Tips
Thanks so much! Glad they helped :)
Just came across your video as I’m planning for my Japan trip! A quick question, which stop did you alight at Shima Yoshida?
I’m tryna book the highway bus tickets in advance but not sure which route to take!
Great video! Where’s the blue jacket from - it’s sick!
Hey! Thanks so much! The jacket is from Zara 😁 so warm too!
Such a great video!! Just curious what was your route back to Tokyo?
Thank you ☺️ We grabbed a coach back from Kawaguchiko. We booked this return leg when we were in Tokyo 🙏🏼
Drone shots were amazing! What drone do y’all have? And I’ll def be adding this day to my itinerary! I’m going for 2 weeks in November to hopefully catch the fall foliage
Oh wow that will be such an incredible month to visit Japan! We use the DJI mavic air 2S drone :)
@TwosomeTravellers what are the current drone rules for tourist please? is there an official site you can direct me to please thanks
Fantastic - heading there later this year and looking forward to it. What month did you travel?
We travelled in mid February 😊
Beautiful shots! Thank you for sharing these tips.
Question: I am currently looking for an everyday backpack that is comfortable and spacious enough to carry with me every day during the trip to Japan. May I ask, what backpacks do you both have and do you recommend them in relation to being comfortable and spacious enough to carry around for multiple days in a row (to carry essentials etc needed for the day)? Thank you :)!
Hey! Yes of course we use Wandrd backpacks, great and super comfortable. They also have a bottle holder which is amazing (we have 1.2L bottles), and fits all our cameras and other bits and bobs no problem.
Hi thanks for the video ❤just wanna know is it possible to bring our babie s stroller up to the viewing point ? Or is there any place to keep that and go???
Travelling to Mt. Fuji next month and you’ve just showed me the best spot to view it from Lake Kawaguchiko. 😊👏🏻 May I know what which song from artlist you used at 11:52 mins? Thanks. Love your vids!😊👍🏻
Through the sunset- Kasseo
Great stuiff, thanks. What month were you there? (I believe Winter is best for clear sunny days for Mt Fuji . Dec - Feb.)
Thanks so much! Yes we were there early March time 🙌🏼
Thanks for this video. I'm heading to Japan in Sept and was wondering how to do a day trip to see Mt Fuji. Now I can do this cheaply and on my timeline.
So glad it was helpful! Have an incredible time, we miss Japan so much already!
@@TwosomeTravellers do you know if mt fuji is visible in sept?
Great vlog guys!!! What are the drone requirements to fly a drone in Japan? I'm wanting to fly mine but I'm clueless 😂
Thanks so much! We registered our drone with the Japanese authorities :)
Hi. At 4:33-4:37 mark, can u tell what street/place u recommneded? ty
Hello , it has been really a helpful video for me .
Just wanted some suggestions from your side .
Actually Im planning a trip to Japan this april , can you please look into my itinerary if its fine
Starting point - TOKYO ( 4 days )
➡️KYOTO(2 days ) ➡️ OSAKA( 3 days ) ➡️ Return to TOKYO for departure.
P.s : should i prefer a day trip from tokyo to Mt Fuji or should i stay at Hakone ?
Would it be possible to get your transportation notes for this Mt Fuji day? I am going in March for my dream bucket list trip to Japan. I am planning to do a day trip from Shinjuku to do this exact itinerary ( with ropeway) I was almost planning to skip it and do Hakone instead because it’s easier to get too, but I just feel like this is a lot less touristy and memorable. I am reading that it’s best to reserve your bus ticket ahead of time to make sure you get on it early in the morning which is concerning because I would rather make sure I get to go on a good weather day, but I want to make sure I have enough time to enjoy the area and get there at an earlier time. Around what time did you head back to Shinjuku that evening?
Great video! Will be in Japan & will recreate your day trip to Fuji-san - am inspired! Just a question re the drone : did you just launch it at will in Japan (within reason) or did you get permission to fly before heading there? Would love to take mine but aren’t sure of the viability.
We applied for a permit to fly our drone in Japan. There are usually signs where it will state not to drone if drones aren’t allowed, and of course abide by any drone rules as with other Countries :) DJI also cover a bit of information about flying in Japan and share where you can find more info on dos and don’ts :)
@@TwosomeTravellers Thanks very much - will consider doing that too.
Is it really allowed to fly drones across Kawaguchiko? Where else can we fly drones in Japan?
Hi guys, the bus u took from Tokyo to which destination?
Could you please share the link you used to reserve your bus bookings? The bus timetables link doesn't have any Shimoyoshida option.
Hi there, we booked our tickets at the counter at the station. Not sure the best link sorry 🙏🏼 the bus we got on ended in Kawaguchiko and we just got off the bus early at Shimoyoshida
View as Fuji in Home School.
Where did you book your bus? 😊
Is it good to visit it on may is there any snowv
Where can you fly drones around there?
Nice video and grest tips for that trip to Mount Fuji.... did you have to register your drone and notify that you wanted to fly it?? if so, it is a difficult process?? My Wife and I will be traveling to Japan in November
Hey, did you find out about the drone rules yet?
@@felixsarfo-darkwa4177 yep, done and dusted. You need to register a drone if is above 100g and pay a fee of 1,450 yen. All the process takes about a week to complete
thanks dude
Is april a good time to visit with an infant i have
Really like this video! Could I fly a drone without permission?
Weird question but did the bus have a toilet on board?
I was at Honcho street at 7 .30 am and a guy was walking his dog and took a photo of me in middle room was not busy that early
Hi! For the 2h bus ride, were there any toilet stops in between? or is there a toilet within the excursion bus itself?
There wasn’t a toilet stop no, but I believe there was a toilet on the bus
12:02 고요하고 웅장한 후지산
It’s so beautiful 😍
Top vlog. Guys, I have a ques, if there's only one day to spare, should I do Kawaguchiko or Hakone? (Assuming that both aren't possible on the same day).
P.S.- I'll be visiting in mid October and there is a constraint of time
So sorry we missed this comment! Kawaguchiko has amazing views of Fuji but not too much else to do there. But Hakone has more things to see, that will be your decider :)
@TwosomeTravellers no worries, I'm back from the trip and l did Kawaguchiko. Luckily, the weather was amazing on the day and I caught some beautiful views of Mt Fuji
@joemama2899 that’s awesome! So lucky to see it. We didn’t realise but it’s often covered in cloud!! Amazing 😍😍
11:54
I really liked the video!
I would like to ask a few questions, in the images of the lake, with the background of Mount Fuji approximated, which camera did you use?
How did you achieve this effect? Thank you 😀 Hugs from Brazil!🇧🇷
Hey! So sorry for the delayed response! We missed this comment. We have a LUMIX S5II and used a 70-300mm lens to achieve this effect. Hope this helps 🥰 big hugs back! 🫂 🤗
i love the photo spot...what month u came to japan at this video?
Thank you ☺️. We visited during February 🙏🏼
Hi! Can you share the time for sunset when you were there?
Hey! We wouldn’t have a clue sorry! We were there during the month of Feb. If you google sunset time in the time of year you are going that will be the best guide ☺️
Hello, is it possible to go from Shimoyoshida to Tokyo with the JR pass? Or maybe from Shimoyoshida to Hiroshima?
Hey! I don't think it is possible to use the JR pass on this line, you can double check though on the JR website on the map. We got the bus and so had to purchase a ticket :)
Guys, how do you go back to the train station then from the lake ?
We walked back to the train station from the lake :) about 20-30 mins walk. Think there was a bus available to catch if you wanted to get that instead
Do the buses from tokyo to mount fuji allow luggages? Thanks!
Yes there was storage area underneath for luggage :)
@@TwosomeTravellers awesome! Thanks for the response!
Hi guys, we’re going to Japan next month and we planned to do the same day trip to Mt Fuji. Could you send where we can book tickets in advance from Shinjuku to Shimoyosida? Cheers :)
Hey buddy, not sure if you can book this online. But worth checking out KLOOK. You can use our discount code TWOSOME to grab 10% off anything in your checkout. Apologies if we are too late in replying to this comment. Hope y'all are having a great time if you are there already!
What time did you arrived in Kawaguchiko station?
I believe we arrived around 11am ish :)
3:35 What's the weather like in August?
I think it would be cooler than in Tokyo, but it is still summertime so warmer than when we visited during Feb/March time! :)
Hello! Where can I book the tickets in advance?
We're not quite sure sorry. Perhaps Shinjuku buses have an official website?
Ahhhh. Was this really in July? Cos we are going there in July this year and Im afraid it will be too cloudy for Mt. Fuji to show up.
We visited in February. However we did recently visit Mt. Fuji again in June and managed to see Mt. Fuji. Tbh you have to get lucky. You can visit any time of year but it comes down to the weather.
@@TwosomeTravellers thank you so much! 😊
Hi guys. Is it worth taking a drone to Japan?
It depends where you plan to visit. There are some beautiful scenic spots definitely worth droning. However we always recommend you check the local rules, laws and regulations with drone use depending on the location/prefecture/city etc.. 🙏🏼
Great. Thank you!!
Do you need to apply for permit to fly the drone
For recreational use, not that we are aware of. However this may differ depending on how close you intend to fly. Best check the local gov't website/laws prior to flying
What's the total travel time from mtokyo to Fuji?
It depends what part of mount fuji you are visiting. But it took 2 hours to get to where we got off the bus from Tokyo city :)
What month did u guy go?
We visited during Feb time :)
@@TwosomeTravellers thank you 😊
Arent flying drones prohibited in Japnan?
Only in certain areas
@@TwosomeTravellers just curious as how you where able to bring your drone in Japan. Assuming yours is a sub 249 grams as well. What requirements did immigration asked from you? Thanks for the reply in advance.
When was this?
0:24 The ticket says February 17th.
チケットには2月17日と書いてあるようです。
I agree that the view to Fuji-san across Kawaguchiko from the Tomoniko Hotel frontage is mind-blowing. As a matter of fact, I'm looking at it now...
