3 Day Mt Fuji Trip in Autumn | Japan travel vlog

Spend 3 days in Mt Fuji (Fujiyoshida)for the weekend. We spent most of it chasing the elusive Mt Fuji. It can be pretty hard to catch Mt Fuji sometimes as it likes to hide behind clouds a lot, but we try anyway. FYI this was filmed in mid November which was a great time to see the Autumn / Fall colours.

✍🏻I've written a blog post with more details on this trip & high res photos: bit.ly/4bgrR6D

I really enjoy the side comments you add into the video haha, great work vlogging your trip. I found it difficult to record video, focus on street photography while enjoying the moment of visiting Japan for the first time. 🥲

[@Itchban]

Appreciate it man! I don't always feeling like yapping to the cam so have decided to just add some text in. You just gotta pick your battles. If you try to do it all, something will suffer. Some times I do photo, sometimes video (to the very least pick one to prioritise)

[@PhreestyleNYC]

@@Itchban agreed! For me video footage suffered incase I wanted to post on KZbin but instead just took mini clips for short form content for reels and prioritized my photography mainly because I want to create my own photobook out of the trip. Plus it’s nice seeing everyone else’s videos on KZbin about their trip Japan.

[@bramvanhout2740]

Love the video, love the vibes ✌🏼

[@Sohaib_Akhtar]

Love the video, nice chilled out vibes and such a calm vlog! Glad you got to see Mt. Fuji though! Looking forward to your next vlog 🤞🏼

[@JRAlli]

my friend and i stayed one full day in Lake Kawaguchi, the shot at 4:26, the way the clouds hug the top of the mountain is so serene. great video, love how chill everything feels especially with the music!

[@Itchban]

Thanks bro!! Yeah Fujiyoshida is chill. You got more Japan vids coming?

[@vishshsh]

that lawson at the end was actually really nice and chill

[@Itchban]

Yeahh it’s on the outskirts of town just before the highway to leave is prob why haha

[@dlin22]

great video, love everything about it. From the photos, cinematography, color grading, music choice..!

[@Itchban]

Thanks bro!

[@shawneydepp]

Amazing shots! I love how chill you are even when it's cloudy. And the last part honking the pedestrians, I'd love to do that one day LOL

[@Itchban]

Haha gotta be patient with the weather man can't really do nothin.

[@KillerTacos54]

Incredible!

[@Itchban]

Fuji never dissapoints (except when it hides).

[@yendor2043]

I love your content , Keep up the great work.

[@Itchban]

Thanks for watching!

[@jimjimgl3]

Great pics. And looks like an amazing journey. Years ago, I was sent to Mexico to shoot a travel story (Travel + Leisure) and part of the shot list was the volcano Popocatépetl. The summit was always covered in clouds. Luckily, one day we got up super early before the air warmed up and did get to shoot the mountain before the clouds rolled in. A lot of time can be spent waiting for nature to smile upon photographers...

[@Itchban]

Yeah patience is key! Glad it worked out for you.

[@PatrickSchraner]

I did a 4 day roadtrip in Japan in a Kei car, and trust me it's more than enough if you sleep in hotels. You really don't need a big car in Japan unless it's to seat a lot of people.

[@yendor2043]

Also, I want that food robot.

[@little-paper-plane]

Yoo we love Fooj 🏔 Bring on Taipei!

[@Itchban]

Who doesn't love Fooj!! Yeah Taipei should be good! Expect lots of cats lol

[@sharingan7517]

Another awesome vlog man, those 'autumning' leaves really added to the shots, glad you were actually able to see fuji and get some sick shots, how long did you spend in japan this time or you still there?

[@Itchban]

This was from last nov haha i was there for like 40 days for that trip. Next vid should be Taiwan (for a week) then bakc to japan for like 3 more weeks haha

[@sharingan7517]

@@Itchban Oh thats awesome gonna get some more banger insta photos from the trips, you still based in Sydney/have you considered moving to japan with the digital nomad visa stuff?

[@dylanzchen]

Ah the nostalgia bringing back the good vibes from the last JP Vlog series... also what in the tripod ahah that was tall as

[@Itchban]

I stood next to him and saw his shot and it was not great haha

[@hotherside]

[@Itchban]

[@Itchban]

Haha lil ol Kermit

[@dlin22]

what fonts do you use for your videos?

[@gerryaf8827]

nice

[@Itchban]

thanks for watching!

[@AllenRReid]

Great video, but from last fall?! How many more shot, but unedited videos do you have for us?!

[@Itchban]

Too many man haha it's either i travel or i sit at home and edit vlogs.. tough choice lol

[@1surftheblue]

Where did you stay in Fujiyoshida? I’m currently researching but can’t decide!

[@Itchban]

Hmm i think it was called blue bird or something. You can see the sign for the place when we're packing the car. Hostel Saruya is also pretty nice and aesthetic. You should probably get a car if you want to cruise around the area tho.

[@daniel-mac]

fire content, brotha. where do you find copyright free music like the ones in this video?

[@Itchban]

Thanks bro. I use Artlist (have an affiliates in the description 🙏🏼)

[@ryan_bednar]

Yo the music you use is super vibes, what music licensing do you use if you don't mind me asking?

[@Itchban]

Appreciate it. Takes so long to find good songs. I’m using Artlist

[@ryan_bednar]

@@Itchban I feel you bro 😂 thanks, good to know 👌

[@alecanos99]

What is the name of the font used for the thumbnail?

[@Itchban]

Hey man.. can't really give away my fonts but if you screenshot it and google "what font is this" it should point you in the right direction.

[@Consumer11]

I wonder if locals want all the town fenced off now 😂

[@Itchban]

haha you say that but i reckon that main lawson has had a dip in revenue since the fence went up.

[@miguelmartin963]
