El lugar MÁS MAJESTUOSO (y caro) de Japón 🇯🇵 | Monte Fuji, Fujikawaguchiko.

Wow. Friends. Look what it is. Tremendous. It’s so real. I feel Japanese. The Japanese man is riding a bicycle. Do you understand? And just as it’s a volcano, it’s also the highest point in all of Japan. This is the panorama. Friends. The typical photos here. And look at what it looks like. Huh? What I do know is that I might have to highlight. It’s going to be kind of bad. Even. Do you know that a Domino’s Pizza commercial was filmed where a delivery man climbed to the top of Mount Fuji? Which he actually did climb to the top. Tuki. A success with this view. Friends. Welcome to a new video. We are in, for me, the most beautiful town in all of Japan. And now I’m going to tell you why it’s the most beautiful in all of Japan. For me. Huh. I’ve never been to a town in Japan. Let’s start from the base. I don’t know what Japan is without the massive cities. Full of tourists. And so you can really see that we’re in a town. Look what this is. Look at the tranquility here. I’m setting up a little piece of land here. Boom. A little pool. Don’t mind me. I know this isn’t very flattering. But what I have right here in front of me is going to blow your mind. I already want to turn the camera around and show you. But first, I want to tell you how I feel. A year ago, I came to this country hoping to see what’s right here in front of me. But I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t achieve it because I didn’t have the chance. I didn’t have the time. I didn’t have the days to come to a town like this. So, I was left wanting. But, friends, I’m fulfilling a dream. And I’m not lying to you. I’d like to focus on myself right now. But I can’t reveal the surprise back there yet. I’d like to emphasize the tranquility of this town. Look, I haven’t seen a single soul this morning. What’s right here in front of me is tremendous. I’m taking a long time. Right? But first, let me get this off my chest. I’ll tell you something. Since I was little, I’ve dreamed of visiting Japan. For me, it felt like something very far away. Something like, you know? When you daydream and say, “Well, I wish someday.” I don’t think so. It’s very complicated. It’s very far away. Uh. The situation is complicated. So it always felt like, “I wish, you know, someday.” That must have been about 10 or maybe even more years ago. And being here, honestly, excites me quite a bit. This video is going to be made with all the strength of my heart, as cheesy as it sounds. Because I really wanted to visit this place. And today it happened. And I can make a video for you guys so you can enjoy it with me too. So. Now I can tell you where we are. Friends. Welcome to Kawaguchiko. The quintessential town for seeing. For seeing the magnificent Mount Fuji. If it wasn’t one of the most spectacular intros I’ve ever made, I don’t know. And look, I could find you a slightly nicer view. But this is the reality. Let’s see. There are people who, until they find a good spot, don’t start recording. I start recording from where I’m standing. Which, by the way, is this complex. Uh. It’s an apartment complex, you could say. It’s great. Now, later, I’ll show you the apartment. First, we’re going to talk all about Fuji. About the town we’re in. Which is very difficult to mention. Fuji Kawaguchiko. Which the locals actually know as Kawaguchiko. I’m seriously thinking about putting up a tent here. Nothing. Lie. Don’t pay attention to me. Today we’re going to take the day, friends. We’re going to explore the town. There’s no theme. You see how we always talk about things? No? There aren’t any today. Today is about enjoying ourselves like this, really calmly. Because on top of that, look at what I have available to visit. It turns out that this place, where I just greeted the owner—and well, he won’t understand me because I’m speaking in Spanish— is right here on the side. I have bikes available. So, that’s great. Super cool. I don’t remember which one was mine. It was a green one with a Boss Gear thingy on it. This one. This is my bike. Now I’m going to show you how to unlock and lock it. Because the security system they use here is really good. This is also cool. Because literally nothing happens. Nothing happens here. So, friends. Today we’re going to tour the town par excellence to see Mount Fuji. We’re going to do it by bike. So I can show you the whole experience. I want to show you how it works. I mean, look at the little key. It’s really cute. Just like you can see. It’s locked. But I put the key in. Tuki. It opened. And it turns out I can’t get the key out. So I have to leave with this in. Anyway, it’s pretty secure. So it’s not going to come out. Security measures made in Japan. I love it. On top of everything. I mean, it’s very Japanese. All the details they put in. I don’t know. It’s like very, very pretty. Very aesthetic. Look at this mural. I love it. And here, as you can see, I’m leaving the accommodation. Today we’re going to be Japanese for a day. Basically. Because they ride bicycles a lot here. And these bicycles even more so. These are the quintessential Japanese bicycles. I really wish a simple GoPro could do Mount Fuji justice. But unfortunately, it won’t. Not even recording it with a cell phone. Even if I zoom in. You can’t explain how gigantic it is. And dodging bullets on my bicycle. Tired. It’s here. In a town in Japan. See? I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to record and ride my bicycle. Because on top of that, they drive the wrong way around here. I’m really afraid of running into a car. Because these corners are dangerous. Look at the typical houses here. They’re bigger compared to Tokyo. Obviously. And Osaka. And any other city. This is the real Japan. You could say. Look at this house. Wow. These are really big lots. And I’m going this way. When I should be coming from this side. If I learned anything here, it’s to always keep to the left if you’re going to drive. Since here, for those who don’t know, things are handled the other way around compared to the West. Okay. Except for Great Britain. And the thing is, tranquility is priceless, friends. Hey. Look, Japan is peaceful. But a town is already quite peaceful. I hope you’re watching me on the other side with some mate, a coffee, a glass of water. If you’re having lunch, breakfast, lunch, whatever. Enjoy your meal, my friend. My friend. Relax. Today I’m taking you for a walk around here. In no less than the most dreamed-of place, for me, in Japan. I’m looking at Mount Fuji here. It’s beyond belief how big it is. It even makes me angry that the camera can’t do it justice. Just a plan of the moment. Now I’m going to take you to a viewpoint. A viewpoint, let’s say. A lookout point that’s the most famous here. It’s called Chureito Pagoda. Luckily, I think it’s free. But it’s going to be hard to get up there. So let’s give it a go. Because this video is about showing you viewpoints. Not just admiring it from the street. Okay. We’re in Fuji Kawaguchiko. We’ll call it Kawaguchiko because the name is too long. This is, I understand, the quintessential town for seeing Mount Fuji. Mount Fuji isn’t just a mountain. It’s a volcano. And it’s active. Now later we’ll talk about the last eruption. And more details. Anyway. It’s also the highest point in Japan. Almost 3,800 meters high. Wait. A separate point for the tranquility of the town. I’m going to emphasize this all the time. I’m very used to being, perhaps, in Tokyo, Osaka, or in very large cities. But coming here literally blows my mind how peaceful it can be. Anyway. How many people live here? Let’s see. From what I understand. No more than 30,000 people live here. According to the last census. Which was in 2024, I think. Uh. A little over 27,000 people lived there. So it’s not a small town either. Tiny. It has only 100 inhabitants, as we’ve already seen. Rather, it’s a village, almost a city. The vending machines are a must. What a different tour. Huh? Look, look. I’m taking you for a ride through Japan on a bicycle. The guy is really excited. It’s so real. I feel Japanese. The Japanese ride a bicycle. You understand? And how important it is to know how to drive backwards here. Because I could have easily gone this way and crashed into that truck. What really saves my life are these mirrors that you literally see coming around corners. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do. The main attraction here. First, is admiring Mount Fuji. We keep seeing volcanoes. Huh. A couple of videos ago. A couple. Quite a few videos ago. We saw the volcanoes in Chile. It also looks very similar to the volcano. And look at the security here. I practically have my phone there. Coming here means seeing Mount Fuji. But also seeing a lake that is very beautiful. It’s called Lake Kawaguchiko. You didn’t go to great lengths to think of the name, did you? Then, there are plenty of viewpoints so you can see Mount Fuji from different perspectives. Well, it’s not exactly small. You can see it from much of Japan. Why do I say much of Japan? Because you can literally see it, like, from Tokyo. I didn’t have a chance to see it from Tokyo. So you can appreciate it from wherever you want. And here it’s noticeably touristy. Uh. Because the accommodation was quite expensive. I think it cost me something like $96 or $98 a night. But I’ll show you the apartment later. It’s quite nice. I’m not complaining about anything. Besides, they give you a bike. They treat you really well. No, no. They’re lovely. What else can you do here? Aside from seeing the mountain. Aside from seeing the lake. Basically, being in the town. I mean, having a more local experience. I’m not saying you’ll socialize with people here. Because, like, they don’t speak English. Uh. Zero English. I don’t speak English either. So, it’s kind of hard for us. Right? But you’ll be able to immerse yourself in the tranquility and hospitality of the people who serve you. The treatment is different. Here, everything goes a little more slowly. You’ve already noticed. But the cherry on top. The icing on the cake, as they say in other places. Is climbing to the summit of Mount Fuji. I won’t deny it, friends. It’s a bit complicated there. Unfortunately, right now is not the time of year. Since you can only reach the summit in the months of July, August, and September. So there’s no chance. We won’t be able to do that. I wanted to do it. But no. It’s not possible. So I owe it to you. We’ll have to come back. That’s how we climbed to the top. Really annoying. I say it jokingly. And then I show up here. Huh? What a pleasure to ride a bike around here. God. Don’t skip this part if you can. We’re heading to the most iconic viewpoint here, friends. Join me. How nice to be able to make this video. How nice to bring you here with me. Right, right next to the street, a cemetery. I’ve never seen this before. Huh? Look at the graves. How well kept it is. At least here, the little trees, everything. You can see they clean it here. It’s maintained here. Wow. Would you live here? To think that’s where the houses are. Huh? I mean, look. It’s the neighborhood right next to the cemetery. There are houses. There’s no wall. A massive wall. Look at these graves with Mount Fuji there. How crazy! The highway goes up here. Huh. Luckily we’re avoiding it. Because if not, it’s going to be a little complicated. Okay, friends. We’re getting there. We have to go up there. So let’s see what the mountain has in store for us. Okay, friends. We’re here. This is the parking lot. Huh. I think it’s free. Huh. I wanted to pay, but it’s closed here. Okay. We have to face it with our feet. Good thing I have comfortable shoes. Really comfortable. But oh well. They accompanied me throughout the trip. I think coming to these places is like a second chance. Like a second trip to Japan. Because the first and most important thing is to get to know Tokyo and the big cities. Since we already know it. I want something a little more traditional. Anyway, all the people here are foreigners. Eh. I’ve heard from several people from Latin America. So let’s go, my brothers. What’s it like? Tourism. Right? From not seeing anyone to seeing a bunch of people on organized tours. Wow. It’s packed. Huh? Let’s go see the view, at least from here, of Mount Fuji. Wow. When I tell you it’s impressive. Trust me. It is impressive. Unfortunately, this video won’t do it justice. But I’ll do my best. There’s a little spot here. Wow, friends. Look at what it is. Tremendous. And it’s covered with clouds. Huh? It’s very common to put these little hats on the mountain. But it’s still very impressive. I’m not seeing it through the camera. I’m seeing it with my own eyes. And it’s tremendous. It’s majestic. Okay. We have to keep climbing. I’m sweating now. Here my friend is blogging like me. Look, look how interesting this is. Huh? There might be bears. I don’t know how many steps there are. But people are suffering. Huh? Ah. My friend stays here to rest. I continue. Phew! We can’t go any further. We’re stuck halfway. No, no, no. This is difficult. Finally, friends. I arrived. Okay. That’s a pagoda. When you read “pagoda” on Google Maps or wherever here in Japan, it means those buildings. And the classic photo is taken from there. It was overwhelmed with people. But here the idea is to come and enjoy it. Not to take a photo. I’m taking home a little souvenir with this beautiful YouTube video. By the way, you can also admire the volcano from here. Look at what this is like. Wow. I mean, take a closer look. Please. Take a closer look. Look at the city down there and the mountain. I mean, the cloud at the top just hides it. But imagine how imposing it is. I don’t know how to say it anymore. How to convey it. I don’t think it’s going to be possible to convey it as I’m really experiencing it. It also reminds me a bit of Mount Etna. I think that’s what it’s called. It’s in Naples, Italy. Which is literally in Naples, down there. And the volcano is right there behind you. You can see it from everywhere. It’s quite a few stairs. Uh. A lot. More than 100 steps, for sure. By the way. Mount Fuji is almost 3,800 m. 3,776 to be more exact. And just like it’s a volcano, it’s also the highest point in all of Japan. There’s no place higher than the one behind me. So we’re not just anywhere. We’re standing on an eminence. The last eruption was a little over 300 years ago. In 1708, I think. And as I said, it’s an active volcano. But with low risk. What does this mean? That it’s not going to erupt violently. And people can predict when it’s going to happen. Well, people can’t. It’s not like I’m going to tell you when it’s going to happen. It’s the experts. Right? And look how interesting. We have free Wi-Fi. Look. How crazy. Huh? There are monkeys. Look. Don’t feed the monkeys. And also, be careful with the bears. What kind of bears are there? No. Look at the pagoda, friends. How beautiful. Huh? Very Japanese. Kyoto is full of these buildings. People here relaxing. Eating their lunch. Their lunch. What a beautiful day we had too. By the way, I know it has clouds. Sorry, man. We couldn’t agree, and Mount Fuji said: “Today for the video, I’m going to have clouds.” Unfortunately, I can’t handle that, friends. So, well. I had to see it with clouds today. But, you know what? I have shots where Mount Fuji is completely clear. This isn’t my first day here. It’s already my second. And yesterday, when I came, it was completely clear. I think we’ll have a beautiful sunset today. So I think we’ll be able to see it clear as well. Okay. Nature does what it wants. I can’t promise anything. But clear. You don’t know what that crater is. It’s huge. To think that you can go there in the summer. From here it looks spectacular. Huh? And you don’t even have to go to the main building to take a photo. Wow. How beautiful. And I even brought my mate. Coming here to the Chureito Pagoda is like taking the typical photo. I don’t think I’ll take it because there are so many people. But just so you know, if you’re a big fan of selfies, I still think this is the most famous viewpoint of Mount Fuji in all of Japan. So I recommend you don’t skip it. Although you can come here and not take a photo, you can come and admire it. It’s tremendous. Look at the pagoda and Mount Fuji. Wow. But it’s like I said. If you want the perfect photo, it’s going to be a bit complicated. Huh? We’re in Shinjuku, rush hour. The number of photos they take is unbelievable. But anyway. This is the view, friends. The typical photo is here. Imagine this place full of cherry trees in spring. Beautiful. Wow. It’s cold. Huh? And it’s not exactly warm here. Last night it got to minus one degree. If you’re from Canada, maybe it’s not that much. If you’re from Sweden, it’s not that much either. But for me, coming from Buenos Aires, it’s a lot. Before I go get my bike, friends. If you want to support the video, you know what you have to do. Just leaving a like is more than enough. And it goes without saying that, if you want to subscribe to the channel, you can do so for free. Be part of the family. I’m inviting you. It’s free. And if you want to see behind the scenes, what’s not on YouTube, follow me on Instagram: Los Viajes de Nicov Villa. That way you can see where I am in real time. When this thing about Japan is uploaded, I’ll no longer be in the country. Okay. Let’s go downstairs. By the way, how do people make a living here in this town? Uh. Let’s see. They basically live off tourism and also agriculture. So you’re going to see a lot of fields with lots of crops here. Look at this pretty road. Huh? Everything’s quite pretty here. Just the people. People who are on the cutting edge, on their last gasp. The same thing happened to me. I just had a lung and a kidney come out of my mouth. Yeah. So people live off tourism. And it shows. Prices are more expensive. Whether in hotels, restaurants, or just about anything. Not excessively expensive either. I mean, you’re not digging deep into your pocket either. But it’s understandable. Tourist places are like that. And I was surprised that this place is free. Huh. They can easily charge for admission. At least a few dollars. And they’ll make a fortune. But no. It’s free, free. So, okay. Really good. Look, look, look. Shark mentality. I’ll put in a funicular. We go up. We pay for the funicular. We pay the entrance fee. We become millionaires. I’m going to propose that deal to the local government. But anyway. For now, it’s free. And I hope it stays that way. So you can come and enjoy it like I did. The phenomenon of the clouds that form above the volcano is curious. But it’s very common. It’s like a lottery, as far as I know. Uh. The best time to see Fuji without the clouds is now. But anyway. Just today, it happened to have Howard’s little hat. I’m telling you. Yesterday I came and it wasn’t there. It was completely clear. It was completely flat. There wasn’t a drop of cloud. Nothing. So, anyway. I’m lucky enough to have been able to see it like this. And let’s hope we have that good fortune today. Let’s hope it clears up. Because that could go away at any moment. Anyway, we didn’t hold back. We saw it quite well. And I left you many shots. So we’re doing it completely. It’s a question. The apartment cost me 96, 98, 100 somewhere around there. And I promised I’d show you. So, while I go get the bike, I’ll leave you with the clip of the apartment. For those curious. This is my place. It’s kind of weird. But anyway. Let’s take it step by step. Here we have a microwave. A refrigerator. A fridge. Electric kettle. I’m always grateful for this. Okay. Basic stuff. I still don’t know where to turn on the stove. But anyway. This is the induction stove. What matters is the room. Right? Which is quite large. Quite expansive. Here’s a workplace. With a television that, most likely, I won’t use. And a sort of bunk bed, as we say in Argentina. But it’s not a bunk bed, it’s a bunk bed. I don’t know how to explain it. But anyway. Uh. Great. Look at the little step there. Uh? So you can climb up. So you don’t jump and break the whole thing. A washing machine. Outside I have the dryer. Which costs 100 yen per drying time. And I reckon this is the shower. It looks like a bathroom. But no. This is a shower. How do I open this? Ah. It opens inwards. These are really first impressions, friends. Uh. Yes. It is indeed a shower. The great thing about Japanese showers, look at this. Well, the shower is there. It has a bathtub. You can also bathe here. And from there you regulate it. I mean, there you choose whether you want the water to come out from the faucet or if you want it to come out from the shower. Well. Here in Japan, they always leave you shampoo. Uh. Shower gel. They leave you conditioner. Great. And it also includes an armchair, which is where I’m sitting. These are really first impressions. Look at how I’m dressed in a previous video. Ah. So, good. It’s comfortable. What it did cost was quite expensive. Quite expensive. I don’t know why. And it was one of the cheapest. But oh well. You’re already watching the video. And you’re seeing that it’s worth coming here. Right? Besides, I’m in the middle of a town. I’m relaxed. The accommodation is large. There’s Wi-Fi. I have a work desk. Ah. I can’t ask for more. We continue. Well. Here we are with the rude woman. Huh? Whoops! Here comes the stock boy. We’re going to have to make a little space. I was just going to buy a drink. For those who didn’t know how they refill drinks. It’s not that they’re born here. It’s just that the man comes here and refills it. We’re going to have to let him work in peace. We’re going to Lake Kawaguchiko. Hey! The clouds settled a bit. If you look, the weather forecast says it’s completely sunny. Liar. I’m about 30 minutes into the bike ride. So let’s get going. Uh. Okay. Look at what a neighborhood is. A town. This is Japan. This is another similar part. Uh. I’m pretty far from where I started the video. And look what you’re painting. Uh. What I might have to highlight. It’s going to be kind of bad. But not too bad either. I have a lot of vegetation growing around the sidewalks. The pavements. The street. It seems like they’re not very well maintained. You see? For example, this is all kind of raised. It looks like it needs a little bit of grass cutting. But then nothing more. Eh. Pipón, pipón. What we were talking about about the plantings. I don’t know what they’re planting here. But oh well. How peaceful. Eh? The tourist crowd has disappeared. And these trees are very classic. You’ll see them on almost every house here. I love them. I don’t know what trees they are. I’d say bonsai. But maybe I’m wrong. See? Those trees are everywhere. Let’s see. This one’s like another one. They’re like pine trees. Look. They have like those little tops. Like Carlitos. FL. This is typical. A typical Japanese house is this. So you don’t think everyone lives in cramped 9 m² apartments. What’s it doing? I’m going through a tunnel. It’ll be impossible to talk here. So I’ll see you at the exit. Okay. There aren’t that many cars. You can talk. The infrastructure. Right? What’s there here. I thought it was going to be a somewhat forgotten town. But in the end, look. We have a tunnel that runs under a mountain. Here, that’s for you. And look how my bike lights up as I pedal. Uh. That smells like fuel. Okay. When I told them I wouldn’t be able to talk, I meant this. Half an hour later. 2,500 m. I get out. Oh my goodness, what a struggle it was. And how much pollution there can be in a tunnel. All this, I don’t know if it’s dust or a combustion product. A strong smell of gasoline. My lungs feel completely clogged by combustion. I’ll never go through a tunnel like that again. With a bit of fresh air. I was really dying. On top of that, it was so hot. Half an hour to cross that. Doesn’t matter. Afterwards, it’ll be an anecdote, asshole. At least it’s a little clearer from here. Of course. I crossed all the mountains. You behaved, rude. Huh? With your little keychain here from Boss Jerry. From Woody. Come here, so you can see. That’s what I’m saying. There’s like vegetation that sticks out on public roads. Uh. Nicolás, in Argentina. I know it’s in Argentina too. But just as I say the good things, I also have to say these things. Right? Look what this is. I wiped my hands because they were dirty from the tunnel. And look how black it came out. This paper makes no sense. How much pollution can there be! Eh. Ah, well. And another thing to note is that, see all this? It’s salt. Because it snows here. We’re lucky it doesn’t snow right now or these days. So we were lucky. Can you imagine riding a bike in the snow? I’m going to see San Pedro as quickly as possible. I hit myself. Lake Kawaguchiko. Snot all over me and with the rude woman. Okay. I hope you’re enjoying the video, friends. I’m taking a nice walk. Burning calories. Burning off the fried chicken I ate. It’s kind of dry here. No? It’s like when you go to Cusco. Where everything is like this. The terraces in Machu Picchu or those places. Peru. How beautiful. I hope we can go back someday. It was one of the first. Actually, it was the first country I visited. I recorded vlogs. The lake we’re going to now isn’t the largest lake in Japan. Okay. I’ve probably already shown you shots, and it looked big. But no. It’s not the largest lake in Japan. Nor the deepest. It’s 15 meters deep. No more. Still, at 15 meters deep, I’m telling you, you’ll drown unless you’re Aquaman. Ah. Look, there are all these fancy places around here. Okay? Look. Base camp. They’re like container houses. And over there, you have a kind of glamping site so you can see the stars. You have no idea what the stars look like here. Okay? I saw it last night. Wow. Awesome. How much will it cost last night in one of these places? I’m paying almost $100. I can’t even imagine. I really need an electric bike. Man. Mount Fuji is getting more and more obscured. What are we going to do? Nature does what it wants. We can’t control it. To think there were people getting angry there because they didn’t have the perfect photo. Because Fuji was covered in clouds. Okay. Go ahead. Send them a message. Tomorrow, Fuji’s mood will change and everything will be clean for you, dear. Look how nice the buses are. By the way, how did you get here, Nicolás? There’s a video where I showed you in detail how I got here. So I invite you to watch it. I also showed the bullet train. I mean, it’s like I gave a lot of detail. I showed various public transportation options. The subway. The bullet train. The buses. So go watch that video, it’s super interesting. And I show you how to get here. By the way, if you want to come here from Tokyo, from Shinjuku Station, there’s a direct bus. It costs 2,500 yen, I think. And you’re here in two hours. So it could be a great day trip from Tokyo. I decided to come and stay for a couple of days. And here we are, ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen. Lake Kawaguchiko. Wow! What a beautiful lake! Huh? And we have Mount Fuji, shy with the clouds above. We have more mountains now. I know. Okay. This is a long ride. So let’s take a look. What I cycled is pointless, folks. I’m going to be very honest with you. My whole butt hurts. But hey. He who wants it, it’s going to cost him. Right? What could be better than being able to ride a bike in a town in Japan. Blessed by life. By the way. Mount Fuji, what’s so striking is that, look, there are tons of volcanoes around the world. It’s not just that it’s the only volcano. There’s one in Japan too. I even think the most impressive volcano here is a volcanic island basically in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and belongs to Japan. But what’s striking about this volcano is its perfect conical shape. Which, unfortunately, we can’t appreciate from here. But here are some shots of how it looks clear. And it literally looks like a cone. Okay. A pretty gigantic cone, right? Which makes it incredibly photogenic. But it doesn’t end there. This volcano is so important. Its shape is so important. It appears on Japan’s 1,000 yen bill. Let’s see, I have a little bill. Look. How interesting. I have two 1,000-yen bills of different designs. In this first one, we can see that Mount Fuji is there, along with a lake. I have no idea if it refers to this lake. And in the other one, it looks much smaller. There, if I zoom in a little. But it’s with some waves. And they’re not just any waves. These waves have a kind of importance. I mean, you’re going to see them in various works. The amount of information I’m throwing at you. No. You leave this video and run to your friend: “Hey. Did you know that Mount Fuji is on the 1,000-yen bill?” Better not. You’ll look really weird. But, did you learn anything new today? Okay. Let’s take this walk and see what’s up. I brought the mate to drink, obviously. Wow. There are restaurants here. There are hotels. Look how beautiful it is here. Eh. Even though it’s winter and everything’s bare, like this tree. Everything looks beautiful here. They say this is the best lake to come and see Mount Fuji. Wow. How imposing. The thing is, there are five lakes surrounding the volcano. This is one of the five. They say it’s the best. And you know what? Regarding the climb. Uh. It’s not like two or three people go to the summit. It’s said that more than 200,000 people a year come to summit Mount Fuji. But only during the established time that I tell them is allowed. I mean, from July to September. In fact, you know what? A Domino’s Pizza commercial was filmed where a delivery man climbed to the top of Mount Fuji. He actually climbed to the top. To deliver an order. To deliver a pizza. I mean. What’s the point of this? Basically to show that Domino’s can reach anywhere. And that they’re geniuses. And before, things were a little stricter. Since only men were allowed to climb it due to the religious beliefs of the time. Women were allowed to access Mount Fuji in 1868. I know it took quite a few years. But oh well. The mountain is millions of feet high. So imagine. No. I’m killed by the story of the guy who carried the pizza up there. Total boss. Did they leave him a tip? Since we don’t tip here in Japan. That blows my mind. Friends. This is for you. Hey, hey. Nico, what’s up, you don’t make a mountain? A mountain, no way? Here we drink mate as it comes, Dad. Tuki. A success with this luxurious view, Dad. The best mates of the month. Do you think the gauchos in their time made a mountain out of mate? No, dear. Why did he talk like that? Isn’t that crazy? No. Gauchos drinking mate with a woman who knows where they got it from. The kettle, all rusty, all busted. They heated it with knives. The mate, who knows what little bowl they used. And the straw was so covered in mold they never washed it. And you want to make a little mountain out of it? No. I make a little mountain sometimes, but I’m too lazy. And the mate is very small. Anyway. You have to enjoy this, nothing more. You have to enjoy it. I’m already leaving a like. Not for me. But for this beautiful view. The best view you’ll see today. And you saw it completely for free. For you. I love you all. And, well, some of you are going to wonder how the water is. I reckon it’ll be warm. Caribbean-like. Like the sea off Punta Cana. Ah. Oh, oh, oh. Colder than a penguin’s butt, this! By the way, did you know that the water we drink here, I mean, tap water, comes from Mount Fuji? It’s very interesting. There’s a little sign at the inn that says: Drinking water from Mount Fuji. Yeah. Look. Uh. I drank water from Mount Fuji. Nice. My friends there, fishing. Let’s see what we catch. Some trout. Okay, friends. I’ll leave you with this last view of Mount Fuji, like this at sunset. And down there, the bride and groom. Long live love! They’re freezing to death, poor things. Look at this. Huh? What a sunset, Dad! Come on. I want to tell you something interesting. This is still going on. Okay? I put on my jacket because I was freezing to death. Literally. I was going to be frozen stiff. As stiff as a statue’s curl. As stiff as a metal flag. Look. I’ll tell you something. A little tip. These trees are cherry trees. When it’s spring, everything turns pink. So I really recommend coming here during peak season. Because you’re going to have a blast. And you’re going to get the best photos. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I already fulfilled a dream. I already saw Mount Fuji. What a sunset, Daddy. Hey. I’m heading back because the temperature is dropping really suddenly here. And it’s going to reach 1 degree, 0 degrees very quickly. I don’t know how many degrees it is right now. We checked it out. The situation is a little complicated. Okay? 8 degrees. Enjoy it, Bibi. Enjoy it. Even if it’s cold. Enjoy it. Okay. He who can, drives a Porsche. And whoever doesn’t, rides a bike with a duck. There are levels. And I’m going to do this on foot because it’s uphill. And ugh. It’s killing me. There are many more viewpoints in Kawaguchiko. So it’s a matter of getting informed and seeing which one you want to go to. Chureito Pagoda is the classic. You can’t miss it. You have to go there no matter what. Not so much for the photo. But rather for a good view in the traditional Japanese style. Right? With the pagoda there. I think it’s priceless. It’s free. By the way. Tomorrow the tour will continue here. I’ve already fulfilled a dream. I don’t know what to tell you. I just wanted to see Mount Fuji up close. I mean, I already saw it yesterday. I saw it super clear. So I can die in peace. What was wrong with it? So excited. See? I love you all, friends. If you want to support the channel, I’ll leave you my Ko-fi page. My Patreon page. Scan the QR codes and leave whatever contribution you want. Anyway, for me, the most valuable contribution you can make is simply enjoying the videos. With this beautiful view of Mount Fuji, which still has clouds on its summit. I say goodbye. I love you so much. Take care and be very happy. Dreams are made to come true. Bye.

Cumpli un sueño al conocer el Monte Fuji, el lugar mas majestuoso e icónico de Japón. De paso conocemos Kawaguchiko con su Chureito Pagoda, el mirador mas recomendable para ver el Monte Fuji.

  1. Me encantó este video, Nico!!
    Qué lugar tan hermoso, y se traspasa por la pantalla tu emoción de cumplir ese sueño ❤
    Cuando mencionaste el Volcán Osorno, de Chile, me causó mucha gracia porque en Twitter hay una cuenta llamada "Cascadas Japón" que trollea que el volcán Osorno es el Fuji, y en general se ríen de la realidad de Chile y del sur. Son muy ingeniosos!
    Este recorrido tuyo también me recordó la serie japonesa Hot Spot (está en Netflix), que transcurre también en un pueblo a orillas de un lago a los pies del Fuji, en la misma prefectura de Yamanashi, donde estuviste. Las vistas son muy similares y el pueblo también.
    GRACIAS NICO X PERMITIRNOS VER UN LUGAR TAN ESPECIAL!!❤

  2. Sos muy crack Nico, hace rato veo tus videos pero tengo que comentarlo, la transparencia y curiosidad con la que descubris cada partecita de estos destinos me hace sentir como si estuviera ahí y te lo agradezco un monton, abrazo enorme desde Rosario.

  3. Hermano, un saludo. Hace un año estaba buscando videos sobre cómo es Japón y todo eso, porque me preparaba para mi primer viaje. También era mi sueño desde niño, y me topé con tu canal.

    Ahora me estoy preparando para regresar en noviembre y me entero de que andas por allá otra vez, jaja. ¡Toca ver tu serie otra vez!

    Un saludo y cuídate.
