The giddy laugh I just let out really speak to excitement this video gave me for my solo trip to Japan coming up! This video is beautiful and informative!!! Thank you sm

[@jiamingji9760]

Best Kawaguchiko video on KZbin, thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@rayneroses]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! 😍

[@codytalatala]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH! The cinematic shots, the guides, the changing of background music... AMAZING! New Subscriber here!

[@roelchristian98]

I can't believe you hit all 7 locations in one day! What an awesome video and the places you went to were so beautiful. Love the narration as well. I want to go now!

[@rayneroses]

Hi Roel!! Aww, thanks for supporting the video! 😍 Hahaha yup, 7 locations.. it’s etching deep into my travel memories 😂 hope we can go together one day, there’s so much more to explore still!

[@paultaddayphotography7205]

I'm so excited! Another tragic Melbourne photographer here! We've just booked our trip for May 2025 and we're staying at Lake Kawaguchiko for three days! I already have much of the time planned out in my head but it's so exciting to see how much you enjoyed it! This will be exactly what I'll be like when we're there! 😁

[@corgolyin]

Thank you so much for sharing, I'm going during Sakura season in '25 and staying a few nights in the area so I'm excited to try and get some of these shots. Also those steps to the Pagoda kicked my backside when I went there in '23 I didn't do much when I went in '23 as I was just rushing around and lost what I wanted to do being overwhelmed this video helps

[@LavenLily4u]

I love the way how energetic you are and your editing skills that make people interested in the videos. I will watch your videos more.

[@thepetitediaries]

This video is incredible and seeing your genuine reaction to mt. fuji definitely added to the emotions of the video!

[@Sellinglobs]

Thanks, this video is incredible - so helpful and very beautiful cinematography! I'm in Japan for over 2 weeks between April-May and staying a night in Fujikawaguchiko so will definitely follow some of this itinerary, I just hope the weather is as great!

[@heychamie]

Wow I’m so glad I came across your video! I’m visiting in November and this is exactly the Mt. Fuji day I would want to experience, with all the nice photo spots and all! You’ve definitely earned a new subscriber! 💖🫶

[@Sellinglobs]

Hope your trip went well? I'm going in April and it can't come soon enough!!

[@michellelaadeedaa]

such an aesthetic video 😍 all the shots and composition was incredible!! I teared at the memorial park scene - it just hit me in the feels 😭 also I can’t believe there is a place where you have to pay to only shoot for 3 minutes!? You guys did so well cause I would not be able to get any good shots in 3 mins, that’s insanity! At least 5 mins!? Or 3 mins each!? Insane! Also LOVE the stairs shots so much 😍 such a dream!! 💭

[@rayneroses]

Thank you Michelle, how sweet of you! So grateful to have you to cheer me on every time! 😭 Ikr, the stairs is so amazing, it's actually so much better in real life, I hope you can see it one day! And yea..I'm not sure how we did it in 3 mins..it was really a lot of skilled muscle memory and funny posing practices hahah! 😂

[@halilozel1903]

Stunning guide! 🗻🍁 The spots around Mt. Fuji are breathtaking, and your Kawaguchiko autumn vibes are truly inspiring. 📸✨ Can't wait to explore these places myself-thanks for sharing such a detailed vlog! 🙌 Fyi.

[@MattCroker-e7i]

Thanks for the video, it really helped us plan our own visit to Mt Fuji. We have just returned from Japan and used the driver that you recommended. NAKAYAMA RIUICHI (中山龍一) was fantastic! The morning of our day trip was really cloudy and we thought it would be a dissapointing trip. He had checked the conditions and took us straight up to the highest point that you can get to by car. This put us above the clouds and gave us a great view (first snow for the season too!). He really went the extra mile! The rest of the day with him was also fantastic. To top it off we got him to get us to the airport when we started thr trip home. Thanks again.

[@seirrahlim9147]

Hi , how do I contact the driver ?

[@Adankayak]

Thank you so much for the tip and great video 😊

[@rafaelastaines]

your content is always so well put together and your insights are spot on!! 🥰

[@rayneroses]

Thank you so much! 😍 It lights up my day to know the hours spent working on it is appreciated! 💕

[@imaldric9457]

Seen this video 5 times already haha. Such a vibe!

[@Markandmelissatravels]

Thank u always for the positive vibes and awesome mt. fuji vlogs! Keep shining and cant wait for the next vlog

[@Yetravels]

I’m going in November and hoping to get a better fall foliage, I am so excited! We wanted to rent a car and drive by ourselves but kinda hesitant due to road signs and driving on the left side, although my sister is from London so driving on the left maybe not that much of the problem. But having a driver will be so much stress free and convenience.

[@Ntt5656]

really like your colour grading in both the snapshots and throughout the video!

[@rayneroses]

Aww, thank you! It makes my day to hear positive feedback! 💕

[@nickpic93]

this is so helpful.. im planning a trip to japan and shoot mt fuji in Dec..

[@rayneroses]

Thank you, so glad it helped! I hope you come home with lots of good photos and memories to cherish 😍

[@thirtiesdiaries]

Always killing it with these videos, girl! Can definitely tell you're putting so much time and effort into this one! (and all the other ones!) Every shot is so aesthetically pleasing, the photos that you took were absolutely amazing!! And ugh, the colourgrading! *chef's kiss* The Momiji Corridor & Fujisan Yumeno Ohashi are definitely my favorite to view mount Fuji, it feels like you guys are doing it in the right order as well.. I get so happy when you got to the bridge, all hard work paid off!! You guys planned this trip so well and together, you two are an unstoppable duo! Thank you for documenting everything, and bringing us along the journey ❤ I’m always itching for the time when I’d get to go back to Japan again.. Your videos makes me want to just book the ticket, pack my bags, and go!

[@rayneroses]

You're making me teary reading this comment! 😭 Thank you for being the biggest supporter, for guiding me through KZbin, and for acknowledging all the hard work behind this video! ily 💕🥹 I wish for the day to come when we can all go Japan together, just day dreaming of the things we'd do there already makes me smile so hard hahah! 😆

[@dominikle4936]

Perfect music at 21:23 Perfect scene. Just love it

[@AshraafM]

This video is very eye pleasing to watch. Im going there on april next year. Hopefully the weather is just like in this video 😁

[@rayneroses]

Hi! Thank you so much for the sweet comment! I hope you get to see the mountain in its full glory too, all the best! ❤️🤞

[@iTransfiguration]

love this vlog! Just what I needed ahead of my trip end of this month! Weird question but may I know the name of your north face jacket lol

[@rayneroses]

Thanks for the sweet message, so glad you enjoyed the video! Haha I'm not sure about the official name I'm so sorry, but I just saw them still selling it in Seoul a week ago, at the North Face shop under the White Label collection. Hope that helps!

[@sc8706]

Traveling to Mt. Fuji in less than a month and this is easily on top of my list of all the videos I’ve watched. Thanks for sharing this to us 💓✨

[@KahiriFamiry]

Hi! I’m curious about your camera setup! What lenses are you using for your shots?

[@sackwhacker]

Awesome video! Have you considered visiting Fuji-Q Highland? It hear there are great views of Mt Fuji from there as well!

[@rayneroses]

Hi and thank you so much! I heard about Fuji-Q Highlands and their roller coasters, sounds like a fun idea! I'm keen to go one day, if I do, I'll definitely make a video on it 😍 Thanks for the great suggestion!

[@lecreativecontent]

Love this vlog soooo much!!!

[@brianbach5096]

Love the vlog sister, do you have any tip on how to pick a good day to go visit mt fuji ? Also may I ask for the len you use in this vlog please 😅. Thank you very much 😊

[@storypals2903]

I sat with my popcorn and everything.

[@storypals2903]

The crowds in Japan really give me *anxiety* sooooo many people everywhere

[@SashaLaboy]

I’m going to Japan in October and you’re making me wanna go to Mt Fuji specially with someone driving us around, love your videos ❤

[@rayneroses]

Wow I'm excited for you! Do go if you have a chance, it's interesting to see it in Oct, the mountain might be a little bald because of the weather, but worth a try to see it in its full glory if you monitor the live cam 🤩

[@SashaLaboy]

@@rayneroses oooh did not know there was a live cam, I’ll look into that, thank you 😊

[@maritesdelosreyes6629]

Hi Your video’s fantastic it helps a lot for upcoming trip on November thank you for that video. I’m not sure if appropriate to ask how much you pay for the one day trip for the driver so I can have idea. Thank you

[@rayneroses]

Hi! So glad you enjoyed it and find it helpful! 😊 I’d say it depends on the hours and distance, I paid ~50,000 Yen for a full day, from Lake Kawaguchi back to Tokyo. With that, we got a door to door concierge service, driver and a personal tour guide 😉

[@maritesdelosreyes6629]

Thank you for your reply! You’re the best ! Goodluck to your journey 😘

[@rhadz_na]

I lervvvv your vlogs, absolutely stunning shots. Which month you went to Mt Fuji? thanks

Hi Rayne, may I know if you have any recommendations for accomodations in kawaguchiko area and hakone thanks! Going this NOV, thanks for the video, love the vibes!

[@AFN12315]

did you use the car from Tokyo ? or only around Mt Fuji area

[@bluuazn]

A concern of mine is getting to Arakurayama Sengen Park from my hotel by the lake.. are many taxis around? I would love to get there before those crowds arrive. 😅 Your video is just what I need thank you!!

[@majflores]

your vlog is such a vibe!

[@thekristineway]

Hope you have the best time in Japan and glad this video helped! And great request, I can definitely do that, maybe in Shorts if that's easier 😆👍🏻

[@hainamdao2153]

What kind of Filter do you use for your Kamera

[@1960snowwhite]

Hi Rayne, like your video! Just to check with you on your rented car service . . . I will be visiting Tokyo next Mar and also like to do a day visit to Mt. Fuji. Was your rented car driver picked you up from Tokyo? And how much did he charge for the trip - to and fro? Appreciated your advice. Thanks.

[@vickychow5777]

Hi Rayne, I am from melb also! Thank you so much for this amazing video!! Me & my partner will go to Japan for the first time & we will stay in lake yamanaka area for 2 nights. We will def following your itinerary!! However, can the driver speak english?

[@Juan-ci3ge]

Hi! What focal length did you use in chureito pagoda? And what is your recommended focal length? Thank you!

[@Jason_Montana]

Amazing and aesthetic video Rayne! 👏👏 New subscriber here. Love the shots, the color grading, the soundtrack and videography, it's awesome! 😍 May I know which platform are you getting your soundtrack? Thank you so much!

HI! WHAT MONTH WAS THE VIDEO RECORDED?

[@maswillem]

good job!! please make more videos!! 👍👍

[@emma-kw6iu]

beautiful video! i was thinking about getting a driver as well to make travel around easier, can i ask you how was the traffic especially going back to tokyo? thank you so much 💗

[@DianaZonedFilms]

Super great video! perfect for tourist who is into photography and videography! may I know how many days are you? and where do you check in? Can a driver be your assistant to if your a solo traveller :D

[@rayneroses]

Hi Diana! So glad you enjoyed the video! 😍 I went there for 3 days 2 nights, it was a good amount of time for us to not rush for checking in/out. I stayed at an airbnb, which was cheaper; I shared some deets in the previous vlog ☺️ I think a driver is cheaper if you can share with a bigger group of people, but if budget is not an issue and you're limited with time, a driver is always a good choice!

[@JiEunLee-ns9gk]

Hi. What time did you start your tour? Also, were you already staying near Mt Fuji or did the driver picked you up in Tokyo? :)

How to reach Fujisan Yumeno Ohashi Bridge from Kawaguchiko?

niceeee May I know @16:53 which focal length did you use? I envision doing the same shot there soon next month? Thank you.

@@rayneroses aw thank you so much for taking your time to answer. Your video looks awesome and I watched the whole thing without skipping as it really gives me good reference on what to expect for these locations lol I plan to bring 3 prime lenses with me :) I probably wont queue up for Asama Torii like you suggested and go straight for the shot on the right… looks a lot better too.

How to avoid clouds

[@xenophh]

This car has a white licence plate, meaning it’s not a legit commercial car for hire. Be prepared if you got into accidents or any disputes.

[@kunthiralaphathi799]

What a car company?

[@ops-iy4ve]

Japan nowadays is way overhyped. People are flushing in because it's cheap.

[@succulentdesire1188]

Thanks for the tips! When was the exact date when you visited Mt. Fuji? I am estimating the autumn foliage because we will there be in November. 🥰

[@rayneroses]

Hi! I was there during 14th Nov 😊 I think it was the first day we get to see the foliage against Mt Fuji with snowcap because the weather wasn't great before then. We also heard from our driver that the autumn foliage was later than usual last year. Hope this helps!
