Nice trip. I want to go too 🍁🗻✨
Such stunning views and locations. I am going to look into hiring a car for my next trip. Congrats on 30k subs, well deserved.
Awesome video, I enjoyed it a lot. Btw I can distantly heard Indonesian in the background saying the cloud is thick at 17:04, haha.
Great video Kengo-San!
Some viewpoints I'll definitely consider on my next trip when we are likely to hire a car 👍
Some beautiful sights in this video!
Wow, the waterfall and views of Mt. Fuji are outstanding. Amazing video.
Love the autumn colors!
Congratulations on the 30k subscribers Kengo, thats much deserved ! This road trip around Fujisan looks great, and its seems that Kenny also had a wonderful time, so thank you for sharing. I think that no matter if you travel by car or by public transport, having enough time (1-3 nights) is the most important, to maximise your chances at seing Fujisan.
We dont drive, so for us, staying in the town of Kawaguchiko was the best option. You can easily get there by expressbus from Shinjuku. There are several restaurants, things to do and see, the beautiful lake, the free footh bath at the station, sake breweries, a park etc.
P.S. I find it amazing how well Fujisan can "hide". Sometimes, its like in the postcards and some of the pictures you shared with us. And sometimes, its like the mountain "left" and you cannot see it at all.
ありがとうございました！👍️
This video was such a treat! So relaxing, and getting to see Kenny out and about was so cute 🥺
To me the star of the show has 4 legs and a curly tail 😊 💞
Kenny is the boss!
3:15 haha, always the way my man
What a great video. Thank you. The waterfalls looked so nice and relaxing and Kenny Chan is so cheeky. His little jacket looks so warm and cute
Hi Ken chan,
thank you for the video. this is just what we needed. my relative is going to lake kawaguchiko next week and this video is a GOD SEND!!!🥰
During our last visit in Japan, we rented a car to visit small factories in Niigata. Perhaps not the most picturesque area in Japan (Tsubame Sanjo), but definitely the most memorable experience. Just a simple Toyota Paso, but the freedom it gave us, the different way of blending with locals and the small street we happened to drive, was a unique experience. Looking forward to our next trip back to Japan and hopefully rent again a car.
Saying Lake Kawaguchiko is like saying Mt Fuji Shan
Very enjoyable video of travelling around with your car, with some great options for the visitors shown along with some fantastic views
けんごさん！登録者3万人超え、おめでとうござます！After the little break, it must be a great gift to yourself and something you well-deserve. Your dedication and passion, and of course your “hospitality” – still replying to each comment after you have earned this much popularity. This is why we are Ken-chan fans!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone’s episode of covering the entire area of Mt Fuji’s under-appreciated surroundings before, thank you for showing us around the beauty of it, we tend to forget it because we sometimes focus too much on the 3776m rock!
I enjoyed this episode very much and am looking forward to the next!
(英語だど余計にチープな言葉になってしまいすみません！)
Great video Kengo, a different view of touring around Fujisan for us all. Good to see Kenny taking a starring role, he looked like he was enjoying himself on your trip. And congratulations on the 30K subscribers too! A big achievement!
Thanks!
Another way of sightseeing Fuji San! Enjoyed seeing the various locations. And it was great seeing Kenny traveling with you. Hope we can this type of video more often. As a viewer I appreciate that you are producing a variety of travel videos, which makes your channel both informative and entertaining
Such a peaceful video! ❤
Adding those falls to my trip itinerary! So beautiful!
Amazing places and info about Mt. Fuji. Thank you for this great video 👏👏💪🙇♂️
Thank you, definitely a breath of fresh air compared to those usual tourist spots of fuji.
It also highlights how hard it is to see it and that one sometimes have to come back a few times before seeing it!
Looks like Kenny love the trips so much😍 i went to Kawaguchiko at last two weeks ago but now back to my country already but i wish or just dreaming that one day i will go back to explore more around Mt.Fuji just like you driving with my two doggies too😊
Hi do you know where to rent a car if we stay in Mt Fuji and drive a day trip exploring mt fuji as you show in your vid?
What a great video – thank you. I'm looking at the campsite – can you book far in advance do you know? It looks like I can only see dates two months in advance.
This driving concept is really good and you did it so well! Thank you again for another great video, I hope you can do more driving videos in the future!
Thanks
After Lake Kawaguchiko, do you have to enter any express way while driving around Mt.Fuji?
Thank you for taking the time to film this video especially for people who might be considering driving in Japan.
