[@RianaSoumi]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful ❤️

[@icreader3034]

Wow, the swans are so cute!!! I had no idea you can see the swans so closely there!

[@RianaSoumi]

Yessss, there are dozens of them on the lake! I got so disappointed that we couldn’t attract them while riding the boat, but luckily we were able to interact with them later! And even get bitten 😅😂

[@ValeriaHeikkila]

I laughed my ass off when that swan started to bite you 🤣🤣🤣

[@RianaSoumi]

I know right 😂😂😂

[@user-rh4cl9et6n]

I would like to know information about the places you mentioned in your video!

[@RianaSoumi]

Oh that’s a good point! I will list all the places and locations we visited in the description!

[@user-sd7yb8lu8r]

When did you go there? I also want to visit this place on a clear day to see mount Fuji!

[@RianaSoumi]

Thank you for the comment! We went there just a couple of weeks ago. June is considered a rainy season, so the chances of seeing Mount Fuji are very small actually, we just got very lucky! So yeah, I don’t recommend going in June or July. Other months - chances are pretty high!
