Hakone Solo Trip Goes Wrong.. Gotemba Premium Outlet, Ropeway, Local Train Trip Ep.497

[@JohnLumagui]

Despite being bullied by Hakone, Rion can still smile. He's my hero!

[@ksenijacizek5901]

Dear Rion, you are such a positive personality, pure role model. The Hakone birthday adventure was really shocking from the late night changing the room, less sleep in the very first hours of your Birthday, then for you challinging ropeway rides, smelly volcanic inferno with experiencing a specially boiled only outside "black" egg up to the unfortunatelly cancelled special rapid train to Shunjuku. The fancy breakfast at the hotel in spite of yours cute sleepyness and the special birthday lunch with beer at the Gotenba Outlet overlooking the Mt. Fuji were highlights of your special day and you will for sure remember it forever. The Outlet itself is a nice place to visit even if you are not a brand addicted person. After a cloudy or even misty morning the sunshine during the rest of the day improved the atmosphere. In the end everything is fine that ends well, for you have safelly reached crowded Shinjuku Station. Thanks so much for enabling us to joyn your Birthday Trip. It was quite an experience. Let's keep on walking! GAOOOO...

[@kernmyrtle5283]

You show such resilience when things go wrong! Taking a break, having a coffee, and making the best of the situation. Plus I loved seeing the countryside out the window of the local train. Saiko! Happy birthday!

[@zennoodle]

Variety is the spice of life. Otherwise what fun would we have? Take every step as an adventure. Happy Birthday Rion!

[@RionIshida]

True!🥳

[@tns-rox]

Arigatougozaimasu, Rion, for sharing your Hakone birthday travel adventure. The ropeway was very scenic. Your birthday dinner was meccha oishi and the Mt. Fuji views were sugoi. You always have the best way of handling unexpected delays and changes of plans. You do it with a smile. 🙂👍🗻

[@eileenmunson7198]

So many beautiful angles of Mount Fuji! 🥰🏔

[@mangmango2653]

Thanks Rion for sharing, I been to the same place last Oct 2023. It worth visiting. Hope you enjoy your special day in Hakone.

[@RionIshida]

Arigatoooo @mangmango2653 , and sorry for my late rep😅 Yes definitely it was! Ganbarimaaasu! Let's Keep Walking ^^

Belated happy birthday, Rion🎉

[@Rainbowgem22]

Hakone looks amazing. 🤩 There were so many beautiful views of Mt Fuji in this video too! 🏔️

[@jomarionng]

Happy Birthday🎉 Your positive attitude inspite of the hotel and train incidents is so admirable. So glad that things all turned out well and you got to enjoy a great day.

[@trebornewo3354]

So glad you had a great birthday trip to Hakone (after the bad start and bad end). Your visit was very quiet. I visited Hakone on my birthday last November and it was very busy. One hour wait for the ropeway! It was great to re-live my adventure again with your video. It is amazing to see and hear all the sounds of Japan again. It is such a long way from the UK, but i will return again one day soon. Thank you Rion.

[@emmainjapan]

Happy birthday, Rion! You had good adventures today and a good attitude, as always.

[@spun_01]

Happy birthday brother. Still an excellent day. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@TenTenorioArt]

Happy Birthday, Rion! There were some bumps along the way, but it still looks like you had a great trip.

[@llcspy97]

Thanks for the 2-episodes videos Rion! I think it wasn't that bad the train had cancelled, as long as you still able to get back to Shinjuku via another train / other options. After all you got to enjoy different views and spent longer time with the beautiful sceneries too. All good! Looking forward to your Fantasy Springs visit videos !

[@ylc9744]

Wow!! This is great! Thanks for the video!!

[@elainecooper169]

Happy Birthday 🎂🥳 Rion! You did great on the skyline ropeway. Just keep looking straight forward when you get anxious about the heights. It helps to calm down and focus. I do it too. I'm afraid of heights as well.

[@mariagrant9684]

Happy birthday, Rion!🎉🎉 Thank you for taking us on a tour of Hakone & the Gotenba Outlets. Enjoyed watching from LA.

[@grandwarriorjames]

Happy birthday Rion. Thanks for the great videos.

[@miyuki8179]

Thank you for taking us on your journey, you stayed positive despite all the hiccups along the way which was really amazing! Edit: * Happy belated birthday~~~

[@embersurge]

Rion! Happy Birthday! We just got back from our trip to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kinosaki Onsen! Watching your videos gave us inspiration and a lot of good information for our trip. We had a great time, GAO!

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooo @embersurge , and sorry for my late rep😅 Sweet, glad to hear that, Ganbarimaaasu! Let's Keep Walking 😊

[@Sotiri]

Happy birthday 🎉 love the positive energy 🙌

[@dimo560]

Hi, happy birthday Rion🎉. Your trip in Hakone had its ups and downs but overall very interesting. The gondola trips were really scary for me and I wasn’t even riding it. You also were lucky to see Mt Fuji which I thought was exciting. I really enjoy watching your videos and learn so much about these locations. So enjoy your birthday and look forward to many more travels😊

[@loudsisi7895]

Happy birthday! 🎉May all your wishes come through 🎉🎊🎂🍾

[@IzumiHiro]

First of all, Happy Birthday Rion! Last year me and my GF took almost the same trip as you, just reverse. 😃 Hakone-Yumoto, Gora, Owakudani then the pirate ship was our tour. It was very nice and nostalgic to see it again in your videos. Thank you. Besides your hotel and train cancellation I think you had a great and beautiful tour. 😉 Keep walking Rion!

[@JiuYangShenGong]

Thx Rion for showing Hakone to us ❤

[@hellshire11]

wow. your birthday is the same with my mother's birthday! what a coincidence. Happy birthday Rion-san!

[@nancywibowo8632]

Happy birthday Rion, HOPE THIS YEAR YOU ARE MORE STRONG to face any changes and turbulances and circumtances this era. Say GAOO!

[@christycpark]

Tried smoke egg vs black egg prefers smoke egg as it has a soya and smoked taste 😄 The 2nd room is so nice, love the view! I think Fuji san likes you loads, he is smiling at you everywhere on the mountain 🥰 Btw, love your optimistic even though things go wrong, you are maintaining a good calm state of mind 👍Keep your video coming Rion.

[@longjohntravels]

Rion i love youre videos so much ! I am sorry you have the difficult time in the hotel. Maybe next time though :).

[@ItsTeresa15]

Somen live stream sounds fun! The machine is such a unique idea 💡

Happy belated Birthday!🎉

[@dasullivan27]

Happy Birthday! Love your trip and mt. Fuji!

[@stretchedandy]

As always amazing!!! Happy birthday Rion 🎉🥃

[@kingofpapaya]

On my first trip to Japan in 2012 my friend took me out to Hakone and it was awesome. SO last year I decided to make the trip by myself from Tokyo, alone. It was a long day but it was really cool to navigate all that way by myself and just enjoy the trip. Also, Happy birthday!

[@2626mrchris]

Happy Birthday Bro 🎉 just show your show today. 😊

[@icebalm]

Happy Birthday Rion! りおんさん、お誕生日おめでとう!🎂🎉🥳

[@traveller_andrew]

Happy B'day mate! Thanks for the tip on the travel razor! I've another brand that's a single foil, it just doesn't work. This looks good

[@SeventhSwell]

I missed this episode. It's late, but Happy Birthday!

[@thousocheat8653]

Happy birthday to you 🎂🎂🎂

[@tandiwijaya3317]

Rion, happy birthday! My wife and I have been watching your videos. However, this video is the most intriguing because we did the same last year where our train was cancelled from gotamba to shinjuku. We ended up at matsuda, transferred to odakyu kine and took local train to shinjuku.

[@paula2651]

Happy Birthday!! 🎊 🎉

[@MaryAntonia-tc9rv]

Happy Birthday 🎉❤ Glad to see that you got home safely. The lake was beautiful and it sorta reminded me of Lake George in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. 🎂🥳

[@ronald_queh]

Finallyyy! you went to Gotenba Premium Outlet where I spent thousand of yens to buy Sanrio souvenirs back for all my Sanrio fan friends! Love the Mt Fuji view there too. My next challenge, to eat all the Takoyaki I find in Osaka next year.

[@junlim4355]

Thanks for sharing with us how you celebrated your birthday. Even if things went wrong, you still make things better with your positive attitude. On the bright side, you get to see Mt Fuji with a clear view. Happy Birthday once again :)

[@alanr585]

All those unexpected events made really good video content and you express your feelings so well that we can feel with you. Excellent photography as usual. That was so bad for that expensive hotel to give that room to you in that disgusting uncleaned condition.

[@Tori69]

Happy Birthday, Rion-chan 💝🎂🎉. Glad they did change your room, would have been a bad start to your birthday 🎂 🎂 (yea I know things are going to go wrong, but I haven't watched that far yet).

[@louisluiser4734]

🎉🎉🎉🎉Happy belated birthday from Thailand🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@debbiefonte1975]

I'm sorry your birthday didn't go as planned. Glad you still had a good time. Happy late birthday!!

[@TheBaldr]

Happy Birthday! I've been on that cable car! Although no view of Fuji as usual. This was back in 2005, the volcano area seems much nicer now than back then, but there was also that eruption a few years ago.

[@somchaipongpiyapaiboon1642]

Happy birthday!!! Keep watching your journeys!!!

[@fruiitpunchsamurai2158]

Happy birthday 🎂🎈!!

[@actng]

happy birthday rion~

[@inisipisTV]

- Happy Birthday, Rion. 25:59 The right pronunciation Lacoste’ in French is Lah-COss-tah. Most Americans pronounce it Lah-Coss, which is wrong too. Sorry for being pedantic.

[@manojfernando1028]

thank you RION always enjoy your videos

[@TheBeatles..]

super nice of cable car driver re-open the door! only in japan 🥰

[@dtwong100]

Scrumptious breakfast. Enjoy Rion.😊. Happy birthday🎉

[@MaiNguyen-t6m]

Rion, thank you for sharing, can wait travel to Japan in few months as 🙂🙂

[@XDproductionsXD]

Merry Otanjobi Rion....Sorry for the mishaps but I think it made content. haha.....in the end, you smile and memories are made. Most of the time, it all works out. Gambatte ne...miteru yo~

[@ChonkyMochaCat]

Yes, Gotenba Premium Outlet has massive discounts for watches there, was tempted when I was there last summer 😂

[@AY-sp4nn]

Happy Birthday Rion!! 😊

[@paripitiffany]

What a day-from kanpai with the majestic Mount Fuji 🍻 (I’ll never get tired of this view 🤩) to a sudden stressful situation back to Shinjuku (as one who is less familiar with the transportation system and much less competent with the language, I’d totally panic 😖). This reminds me of one of your favorite quotes-I smile not because I’m happy; I’m happy because I smile 😊 No matter what high highs or low lows are coming up in this next year, let’s keep walking… and smiling!

[@ajbarrett2360]

First! Awesome video rion!

[@YosuaNangin]

Have you watched the vid? Even in the intro it's obvious that Rion is not happy in this vid.

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooo for your expectation for the video and First Comment ^^

[@TheBeatles..]

@@YosuaNangin I understand why tho

[@gls8383]

Happy Birthday, Rion🎉😊

[@aya-san119]

箱根旅行後編ありがとうございました！なんか、ラストに衝撃の惨事で驚きました。誕生日だったのに😭でもそんな日もあるでしょう、ドンマイです👍ロープウェイ🚡からの景色が絶景でした、ちなみに秋の紅葉🍁の時期もめっちゃキレイです、もう一回乗らないとね😂！黒卵一個で7年寿命が延びるそうです🥚電車キャンセルだったけど在来線で大自然の景色に癒された事と思います🌳✨無事新宿に到着出来て良かったです🚈👍ありがとうございました！

[@Adi_effendy]

Dude is celebrating Bday by himself and paying a meal set for ¥2,500 still saying it expensive. I like his videos, and subscribed, but sometimes his antiques on being “cheap” really amaze me! 😂 “Maybe next time…” Happy Birthday Rion! Hope you always healthy and successful 👍🏼

[@TheBeatles..]

It was expensive. Prices just shooting up everywhere. So I understand

[@RionIshida]

🤣👍LOL

Gotemba, been there twice, back in 2016, our first time in Japan and then on 2018. Miss that place, a good spot for big discounts on a lot of items. Good spot also for a Mt Fuji backdrop.
