9 Day JAPAN ROAD TRIP to Izu Peninsula, Mt. Fuji & Tokyo
Join me for an epic 9 day road trip across Japan. We’ll really get off the beaten tourist path outside of Tokyo, into the Izu Peninsula and the Fuji Five Lakes area. As we go across this journey I’ll of course show you the things we did, but also include the food we ate, and the amazing Japanese hotels that we stayed in.

Great content thank you for sharing! I also do enjoy these longer videos, they're great!
Video is a bit too Long. Great work through..
Watched it all, and loved it. Its great you time stamp and name the places you visit!!!!
Do more like this !
Im in the middle of a 2 week trip to Japan now. We have done Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Nagano so far. We have a bunch of loosely planned days for Tokyo/Yokohama coming up. Do you think its worth us considering us trying to change 2 days to Atami?
Did eating sushi ever make you sick? I never ate any meat raw before. Does it upset at first and you get used to it?
Love the long format!
I liked it and watched start to finish. Thanks a lot.
At around what time of the year did you go on this trip? I’m hoping to catch the cherry blossom around the Fuji five lake area next year!
Omg she’s so cute 🥰 love watching her on your trips! Thanks for the long video!
Loved it and added to my future japan trip notes. Also watched Singapore videos.
Loved the long video! Thanks!!
Oh i ve been to nakamura tokichis original shop in Uji ❤
That hotel in Atami looks awesome! Our kids would love it. We haven't done a Japan roadtrip yet. Maybe someday. 🌺 Heidi
That sashimi bowl looks fantastic!
Can you eat the fried shrimp head?
I watched the whole video. It was excellent!
What a great video, nice work putting it all together!
The long format seemed human and indicative of a real trip. Make more.
Hi Chris and family! Thank you for your video. I did watch it in its entirety, although paused it a couple of times. 😁 I enjoyed it and will most likely watch it again as I put together my own trip to Japan. Thank you for showing all these great places. The five lake region looks amazing! Thank you for posting!
hi Chris,
absolutely loved that. I cant wait to go myself now. I bet you cant wait to go back yourself! its a hell of a long way form the uk though!
Epic!❤
I’m really enjoying these long-format videos, it’s giving very travelogue, which are my favorite. Kudos to your editor for the transitions. Great work!💛😆
Nice video..but at 1:08:58 you show a building and point an arrow saying it's the Landmark Tower…well actually it's the APA Hotel & Resort Yokahama!
Then yes you show the Landmark Tower in the 2nd picture…Cheers.
Thank you fr this complete beautiful video. Having been to Japan total 4x, and recent tour to Mt Fuji & Tokyo in October ‘23. Perhaps you may want to make a video of Hokkaido. Princess is indeed very cute❤
Great video, Chris! Made me want to check out some of these areas!
We are planning to go around the Izu peninsula coming March😊 May I ask you what time of the year was this filmed? Sorry if you already mentioned💦
Excellent video ! I really enjoyed watching your amazing trip to Japan. You definitely packed a lot of experiences and memories in. Great info as always, excellent views. Loved the Yokohama Air Cabins they are just like the Skyliner at WDW. Loved all the places you visited especially the Tokyo content. wonderful food reviews. Makes me want to go back to Japan even more. Thanks Chris
The little girl is so cute. I watched this video from start to finish. This content is so wholesome and fun to watch. I love Japan. Iam planning on visiting first chance I get so im glad I seen this video.
I'm always amazed by how you're familiar with places in Japan that are not usually known to tourists from abroad, such as Suage, Royal Host, etc. Those are all some of my favourite places in here! I'm a Japanse living in Tokyo btw and I love how much you love visiting Japan😊
Hi Chris and family, we have recently found you here and watched your 7 days road trip from GC, Bryce and Zion and now you've got a new follower. My husband and I really love your videos, so please keep traveling. ☺All the best from Germany and take care!
Hi Chris. Are Uber services available in this area? I will be staying in Izu and would probably like to explore some of the places you've visited.
Love your work, Chris (viewer from Singapore). Do you happen to have the location pin of the Panorama-dai Mt Fuji view?
Really cool video! Mt Fuji is so pretty! YP4L! Thanks for sharing!
you have some of the best videos for traveling to Japan with kids. Really appreciate the content!
Hi Chris able to share your routes for the 9 days road trip ?
I have a 3 yo and will be in japan in March 2025. Your videos are such god sent
Just curious.. sounds like you all go to Japan every so often. Is your wife Japanese?
I dont know what to say but the quality of your content is amazing surprised not enough likes and views. Will be going to izu around may. Im curious why didnt you go to more south of izu to exprience the beaches
Have you recorded any videos on the west coast of the Izu peninsula?
Thankyou for this video. My husband and I are planning to take our daughter next year who will be 6. We've been to Japan twice and looking for somewhere different to visit thats close to Tokyo and was curious about the Izu Peninsula and what it was like to drive. I'm off to watch your driving video next 😊
