Hi Ana Grace Saab-san☺️ Thank you for your comment! If you go to Aomori or Hokkaido in the first week of May, you should still be able to see cherry blossoms. By the way, that time falls during Golden Week, a major holiday period in Japan, so everywhere will be quite crowded. I highly recommend booking trains and buses as early as possible. Wishing you a wonderful trip! 😊🌸

Hi! Jan T-san🥰Thank you for your comment! I'm so glad my video was helpful to you! Since it will be a busy time of year, I recommend booking trains and buses early. I hope the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the skies are clear when you visit the Mt. Fuji area! 🌸

Hi !Jarolim Jánoš-san🥰🥰 Thank you for your comment! As you said, Iriomote Island is a very beautiful place filled with incredible nature. The only downside is that access can be a bit inconvenient, but the beaches are uncrowded, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful time. I hope you can visit soon and experience it for yourself!

Kon-nichiwa, Elise Swn-san. ! Certains bus express s’arrêtent à Shimoyoshida, tandis que d’autres ne le font pas. Veuillez vérifier et réserver un bus qui s’y arrête. J’ai inclus un lien vers la compagnie de bus dans la description. Sinon, vous pouvez rechercher en japonais « 東京 下吉田 高速バス » et traduire la page qui apparaît. Je vous souhaite un excellent voyage et j’espère que le temps sera parfait le jour où vous visiterez le Mont Fuji !

Hello, Justine-san! Thank you for watching my video! Sending a big thank you from Japan. You’re absolutely right-Shinjuku is quite bustling and can feel overwhelming, plus the station is complicated with multiple exits. In that sense, I think Ikebukuro is a bit easier to navigate. Currently, the rooftop garden at Ikebukuro Seibu Department Store is likely closed due to renovations. The garden at Shinjuku Gyoen, however, is much more beautiful, so I highly recommend visiting there instead. I hope your trip to Japan will be a fantastic experience!😊❤️🩷

This is Joenji Temple in Shinjuku. Be sure to visit during cherry blossom season! joenji.jp/

Hello! Marsionn-san, thank you for your comment. Yes, the train I took was Fuji Excursion No. 7. Am I correct in understanding that your question is whether it’s possible to get to Shimoyoshida Station using regular trains without taking this limited express train? It will take some time, but it is possible to get there using only regular trains. You can also use an IC card. Downloading the red app called “JAPAN Transit” is very convenient for checking train times. Have a great trip!

Hello! Thank you for your comment. 😊 The departure time from Shinjuku is mentioned in the video, but it was 8:30 AM. As for Chureito Pagoda, the level of crowding can vary depending on personal perception and the specific day, but in general, popular spots in the Mt. Fuji area tend to be busy no matter when you visit. I hope this helps, and enjoy your trip!

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether hello, thank you for replying, its my first time going to japan later on feb 25! i decided to use fuji excursion than highway bus because i've motion sickness

@@VianneyRosaria The train tickets go on sale at 10:00 AM Japan time, one month before the boarding date. I recommend making your reservation early! I hope you have great weather on the day of your visit!🥰🥰

Hi! Tita Joy in Dubai-san, thank you so much for watching my video! The name of the inn is "Attamariland Fukabori: Niji no Yakata." I could only find a website in Japanese, but you can make reservations through the following links: go-nijinoyakata.reservation.jp/ja travel.rakuten.co.jp/HOTEL/19279/19279.html There were no private onsen available, but the onsen water was fantastic and very relaxing! I think it’s a hidden gem near Ginzan Onsen.🥰🥰

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether thanks a lot! Appreciate you noticed me😉

Ohisashi buri desu!　How are you? It's been a while.

@GetToKnowJapanTogether I'm good..now days no videos from you..?

Hi, Sunny-san! Yes, you can also charge a mobile Suica! 😊

Happy New Year, tms-san! I didn’t buy a bus ticket in advance; I simply paid in cash when I got off the bus. (The clip of the ticket vending machine was taken on my way back and added during editing.) I believe if you use the vending machine, it will give you a ticket, which you can hand to the driver when getting off. There’s usually a tourist information staff member near the ticket vending area, so I recommend asking them for guidance!

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether thanks a lot for the details, happy new year !

Hi, John-san! Thank you for watching my video. I’m not very good at explaining the location of the bus stop in words, but it’s right in front of the station. I bought my bus ticket in advance, so I’m not familiar with where the ticket counter is. However, there are bus attendants in the rotary area, so it would be a good idea to ask them. That being said, I think bus tickets might sell out on the day of travel, so you probably won’t be able to buy one then. I recommend booking as soon as your plans are finalized. The buses and trains to and from Kawaguchiko are extremely crowded. Have a great trip!

Hi! Nudin17-san Thank you so much for watching! Chūson-ji is such a peaceful and lovely place! If you have the chance, I definitely recommend visiting. Unlike busy Kyoto, you can take your time exploring the temple at a relaxed pace.

Hi Kuek Yujing-san, I seem to recall an event where you could reserve a kamakura , but I can't find any information from back then even after searching, so I’m not sure. If there is an event where you can reserve a kamakura, it should be listed in the festival information for that year. Please check the website. The kamakura experience was very enchanting and beautiful, so I hope you enjoy it as well!🥰

Kon-nichiwa! itsmeeh Lala-san!Thank you for watching my video. If you're using the Japan Rail Pass to take the Fuji Excursion train, you can pay the fare difference for the non-JR section (from Otsuki to Kawaguchiko) when you get off at Kawaguchiko Station (though you may have to wait in a long line at the fare adjustment counter). You don’t need to get off at Otsuki Station to buy a separate ticket. I confirmed this with Fujikyu Railway over the phone, so there is no mistake about it. Since Fujikyu Railway is a different company, JR staff may not always be fully informed and might give you such guidance. Technically, that guidance is not incorrect. The standard procedure when transferring from JR to another company is to purchase a ticket for the other company before boarding. However, since the Fuji Excursion train runs directly to Kawaguchiko as a special service, you can settle the fare at the station where you disembark. However, if you take a train that doesn’t run directly from Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko, you will need to get off at Otsuki Station, buy a ticket, and then board the Fujikyu Railway. Be sure to book your bus or train to Mt. Fuji as early as possible, and enjoy your trip to Mt. Fuji!

@ thanks so much for your quick response and clarification. Much appreciated 😊

Hai. Can I confirm with you one more time about JR pass. Im plan on getting Tokyo Wide Pass. In this pass, it stated that it will cover Fujikyu line as well. It means that I can take the train from shinjuku directly to Kawaguchiko with this pass, without having to buy another fare at Otsuki. Can you confirm this as it getting confusing​@@GetToKnowJapanTogether

Hello! llaoyaooo-san!😉😉 Thank you for watching my video. Although I don’t remember the exact time, I took the bus home at around 6 PM. Since it was a weekday, there was no traffic. However, on weekends, holidays, or if there's an accident, the roads can get congested. More important than the traffic situation is securing a seat on the bus early. Right now, the area around Mount Fuji is extremely crowded, and bus reservations fill up quickly, so make sure to secure your seat as early as possible! Enjoy your trip to Mount Fuji!🗻

Good morning, Zeitnot-san, Thank you for watching my video and leaving a comment. How wonderful it is to travel in Japan for 20 days! I’d love to travel to Brazil for 20 days too! I’m not sure if Okutama fits what you described as tourist-friendly, but there were plenty of tourists, both from Japan and abroad. While there weren’t any materials in Portuguese at the tourist information center, there were some in English. Since buses and trains are infrequent around Okutama, I recommend checking the schedules in advance. The red app called “Japan Transit” is convenient for checking the times. Also, please note that some roads might be closed due to landslides. Make sure to check the road conditions using the link in the comments section before heading out. Have a great trip!😉😉

Hi AP-san! Thank you for the advice! I agree with you😆the bus is faster and cheaper. One good thing about the train is that the toilets are spacious! Were the cherry blossoms beautiful? This year, the blooming was quite late. I hope you were able to enjoy the cherry blossoms. If you have any other tips or experiences to share, I'd love to hear them!🥰Arigatou!

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether you’re welcome! I arrived at Kawaguchiko two days after Sakura opened so I was able to see it in full bloom. Some tips for your future videos. • some hotels in Kawaguchiko have free shuttle buses from the station to the hotel • if you want to see Sakura at Chureito Pagoda, it’s better to go from sunrise. After 9am the line was up to 4hrs+ long and harder to take good pictures without crowds. I had lots of space and freedom from 6:30am - about 8am with no crowds • once the Pagoda observation deck becomes busy, there is a 5 or 10 minute limit you can stay before they tell you to get off and new people can enter. If you come early enough or in the evening, there is no line • besides the Pagoda, you should rent a bike for a day or half day and ride around the nearest lake, Kawaguchi. There are many other Sakura spots when riding around the lake and also the nice view spot, Oishi Park. • many people don’t know FujiQ Highland is free to enter unlike Disneyland or Universal Studios. You just pay for individual rides or purchase a day pass • JR railpass doesn’t work from Kawaguchiko station to Otsuki station because it’s a private line (Fujikyuko-sen / 富士急行線) These are some tips I remember for now and I can update later if I remember more. Hope this helps! 😊

How did you manage to visit the Pagoda and the Lake in the same day? How did you plan the trip please?

@@tyronecamilleri4277 Hi, Tyrone Camilleri-san! Thank you for your comment. You can visit the pagoda and Kawaguchiko as shown in my video.
