Day Trip to Mt. Fuji Area from Tokyo | Winter Train Trip | JAPAN TRAVEL VLOG

0:39 Good morning everyone, this is Mona😊 Right now I’m riding the train

0:49 that runs on the closest railway to Mt.

0:56 Fuji.

0:57 I can’t stop being excited by the amazing scenery♡ This time,

1:06 I’m traveling to a day trip from Tokyo to visit beautiful Mt.

1:14 Fuji spots.

1:16 I want to get power and relaxing from Mt.

1:22 Fuji.

1:35 There are fewer and fewer people.

2:52 I have arrived at Kawaguchiko Station.

3:02 Let’s head to my first destination.

3:17 Oh, it’s already crowded.

3:30 I think I’ll take a morning walk in a quiet place.

3:46 The water is really beautiful.

3:56 It makes me feel calm.

4:07 In spring, cherry blossoms bloom all at once around here.

4:20 I can’t wait for spring🌸 Hmm, I feel like relaxing a little more.

4:43 Let’s go to the observation deck and the museum.

5:01 Wow, what a spectacular view🤍 There

5:18 are eight spring-fed ponds in Oshino Hakkai.

5:28 It’s said the meltwater from Mt.

5:35 Fuji is filtered underground for decades before springing up.

5:45 The eight ponds are registered as components of Mt.

5:56 Fuji, a World Heritage Site.

6:03 I have walked further inside.

6:13 Wow, a big thatched house!

6:24 This is the oldest thatched house still standing in Oshino Village.

6:34 It is now open as a museum.

6:46 Important documents and furniture and tools from that time are on display.

7:03 Oh, it looks like you can go upstairs too!

7:14 This is a room that was used for cultivating silkworms.

7:35 Now, I’m starting to get hungry.

7:45 Let’s enjoy the food of Oshino Hakkai😋 Wow, it looks delicious!

8:05 I’m having trouble deciding what to eat.

8:33 This is so plump and rich in flavor♡ Hmm,

9:09 I don’t really recommend this Takoyaki.

9:29 There are various flavors.

9:42 They’re slightly sweet and have a chewy texture,

9:48 making them delicious😍 Let’s take a look at the souvenirs!

10:42 These candies are super cute♡ It’s a little sad to leave,

10:53 but let’s head to my next destination.

11:05 I board the bus again.

11:13 I have arrived at Lake Yamanaka.

11:19 It feels great!

11:38 This shop has a great location, right in front of Mt.

11:48 Fuji.

11:56 It has a nice atmosphere.

12:05 I think I’ll get takeout.

12:19 Now, let’s take a walk around Lake Yamanaka🩵 Wow,

12:35 there are lots of swans gathered here!

12:42 Lake Yamanaka is known as "Swan Lake." Let’s feed them.

13:03 Ah, eating the feed♡ Swans are slowly

13:14 coming closer😂 The feed is being targeted.

13:31 Do you eat?

13:41 Let’s give some to the little ones too!

13:57 See you soon🥰 I came here for a late lunch.

14:17 It looks like a restaurant visited by many famous people.

14:33 Relaxing space.

14:45 It’s very filling!

14:59 "Hoto (a kind of noodles)" is a typical local dish of Yamanashi Prefecture.

15:16 Wow, it’s more delicious than I imagined♡

15:24 The smelt is bitter and also delicious.

15:46 The approach to the shrine surrounded by cedar forest.

15:52 Stone lanterns lined up on both sides.

15:59 I can’t describe it, but I feel a very sacred power.

16:15 This is the shrine with a history of over 1900 years.

16:27 Like Oshino Hakkai, it is one of the constituent assets of Mt.

16:39 Fuji, a World Heritage Site.

16:51 I cleanse my hands with the cold meltwater from Mt.

17:01 Fuji.

17:03 A cedar tree that is over 1000 years old.

17:11 It’s very sacred.

17:23 Let’s worship.

17:35 l have come to the back of the shrine grounds.

17:44 In fact, there is a historic mountain trail here

17:51 that people in ancient times used to climb Mt.

17:58 Fuji.

17:59 I would like to try climbing Mt.

18:04 Fuji myself someday✨ This channel brings you unique travel experiences in Japan.
