I Rented a Camper Van To Roadtrip Around Mt Fuji - Shizuoka, Japan

[@phantom7748]

You never fail to impress with the music selection and related editing, whether it's soaring ambient in the mountains or a road trip groove. Seriously great work as always.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you 😊 It’s always a challenge to edit upbeat kinds of video cuz they’re not normal for me but I liked how this ended up

[@TreeChap]

Looks like a dream trip and you guys had a memorable time! Thank you for bringing us along with you❤️ Sorry for your drone Chris!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

An absolute dream trip (minus the drone mishap)

[@williamarthurgeorgedeacon9702]

Such a wholesome group of friends! I was constantly smiling throughout that.

[@tirtaswari9614]

Such a mood booster as always. This video came at such a perfect time as I was feeling really low far from family and friends (I live in the Shikoku countryside) and the editing, the music, the laughter... God I miss all of that. Thank you so much as always, Hannah. This is incredible. x

[@ggauche3465]

Free spirited young people, carefree, having fun. Even the music!

[@mymidnightjapaneserecipes6579]

Mount Fuji is like a mother for all Shizuokans. I miss her a lot. Thank you for sharing beautiful pictures!

[@gabriel-de8yv]

This channel is so underrated! The production value, effort and content of the videos are top tier.

[@AwSamWeston]

Hannah, you're one of only a handful of channels where I watch the whole thing at 1x speed- your sense of pacing is impeccable! Great stuff!

[@lschantz64]

The ending "bloopers" are really cute, another great video and your friends look like they are a lot of fun.

[@KirstenReusch]

Beautiful FPV footage. Glad you had a blast with your friends and were blessed with great weather. So much Fuji-san! Hope the magic of Japan works and Chris gets his drone back. 👐

[@aquaarietta]

This edit was incredible. So much fun! Loved the music choices, too. And Hannah, your laugh is infectious 😂

[@beebeetee88]

Love these videos and hearing your ocker accent in such gorgeous surrounds. I’m watching in reverse order from present day and the CHEMISTRY between you and Chris is hilarious. Happy for you!!

[@nanakon1258]

I love your energy, Hannah! This is literally my first time ever commenting on youtube, but I had to! Your videos are just AMAZING. I am a Japanese myself living in Canada for 6 years. You reminded me how beautiful Japan is and made me want to move back there!

[@thornton]

I am always in awe of your editing, but this edit was just pure vibes. omg

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks Tom!

[@Gantorin]

What BEAUTIFUL sight of Fuji-san!

[@yousefsonbol2960]

Seriously Hannah that drone footage was superb…. That’s the first time I watch something like this. 👌🏼

[@LemifromJapan]

It was a soo much fun video, Hannah chan!✨😆 I love your video with both 'quiet version' with calm music and the fun music like this one. Well done!👏✨☺️

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Glad you enjoyed it! I really love editing both kinds of videos also :D

[@teneileharris2650]

This has been a dream of mine for ages, not to lose my drone but drive around Mt Fuji area. Thank you Hanah I'm living vicariously through your videos and it's keeping the dream alive! Really happy you found your drone I know that sinking feeling ( I even did a little fist pump for you when you found it.) Great video, I too could watch an hour of it.

[@adammontebello702]

Great video! Also, I am so happy to see that you've found someone special to share your passions/hobbies with :)

[@Taikun787]

Love your work, Hannah. I’m here for the humor + beautiful visuals

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Haha thank you!

[@kurofune.uragabay]

Happy to see you having a -good- great time. Gorgeous photography all around (beautiful weather helps, doesn't it...) but favourite bits: Chris's skater shot at Fujiyoshida, and the cliffs at Jogasaki. 🗻🙏

[@kurofune.uragabay]

I think it's Lake Motosu, not Kawaguchi... 🙇‍♂️ There's something mysterious about Fuji-san's effect on those that gaze at it: the big boy is a good looking mountain, but there's more to it. A view like that @2:23 gives me a frisson every time 😶

[@shnozzberriez]

I love this so much aaahhhh I'm so glad you had such a great time on this trip! It makes me want to explore more of Japan so badly.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks so much Shannon! Happy I can share my joy!

[@livingoverseasadventures4192]

I love Shizuoka and you just made me want to get a drone and capture these amazing views! Love this!

[@pix4japan]

Shirahama Beach has been one of my favorite destinations for the past 30+ years. Never get tired of it!

[@sofianeboucif4798]

Honestly it's always so pleasant to watch your video. This one made me feel so good and i am definitely packing my bag and just go to Shizuoka prefecture next week !

great video as always. love the bloopers section at the end.

[@soniajaimesaguilar8002]

My favorite video on earth, this is so amazing, congrats, and woa I'm feeling envy because of this quality and this adventure you just lived.

[@rollingjunkie]

Very glad to see you enjoy the clear water of Lake Motosu, where I kayak every week.

[@SparkFromWithin]

Dang! I do wish you videos would come more often, but whenever I watch one I am reminded that quality and good content take time. You also keep on making them better, so no complaints. But definitely the best part is that it looks like you guys had a lot of fun and I got a couple of spots for my checklist once I can visit Japan again. Thanks for the video!

[@Bicketybam68]

Lesson 1 from now on... back up all footage after each flight as while losing the drone is a hard pill to swallow, having the footage would take a little of the sting away. You hope you never lose them but as they say, _plan for the worst, hope for the best._ Other then that, the footage you showed was amazing. Cheers.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah we definitely learned our lesson! Always backup. The loss of footage hurts more than the drone sometimes :(

[@Cir4Wushu]

@@CurrentlyHannah Been there, done that with a DSLR... Lost a camera, but that didn't sting nearly as much as losing three days worth of traveling photos on the memory card (and potentially the best photos of the whole trip too :P ) :D

[@sdqsdq6274]

really ? think the drone is more impt , lol

[@Bicketybam68]

@@sdqsdq6274 You can replace hardware, you can't replace footage lost. It could be good footage, could be bad footage, but with it gone, you're more likely to believe that it could have been magical footage (even though it probably wasn't).

[@COYSMate05]

This is my favorite of your videos so far! I love Shizuoka. It's where my best friend is from.

[@kvinettaf09]

Holy crap Hannah, best vlog ever!! Unreal. The views of Mt Fuji and all those stunning places, so wanna do this some day. And that sponsorship, what a dream. It looks like you guys had so much fun, apart from the drone downer, but you also looked so happy throughout :') Thanks for sharing! xx

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I’m so glad you liked it so much 😁

[@AdamKuzniar]

That was so well edited. I'm a professional video editor and a 30 minute version of that could be easily played on major streaming and TV networks. Great job Hannah! Also a lesson to everyone watching - offload your footage regularly! Losing your drone/camera is one thing, but losing the footage at the same time is sometimes even worse and can be easily avoided :)

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Ah thank you so much! The video could’ve been much longer but I cut a huge chunk for viewer retention haha. And yes we definitely learned our lesson this trip! Gonna make sure to offload footage often on longer trips like this!

[@SamFigueroa]

Been checking your channel for the latest vid the last few days. Well worth the wait. Great edit and so many lovely drone shots in there as well. Makes me want to hop on a jet right now to see JP for myself.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

Aussie Aussie oi oi, Thanks for sharing around Shizuoka. I'm looking to relocate next year to Shimoda area so any video around here is great to see. Cheers 👍

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

This may have just become my favourite video of yours! Loved this. Great editing job. I’m curious what percentage of footage you had that didn’t end up in the video? How much unused footage is there? Great video, again. 😀

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oh there was SO much footage that didn’t make it into this final product haha. This is probably about 60% of the footage 😆

Another amazing trip and amazing video! Thanks Hannah! Did not know that Shizuoka is so nice. Really sorry about the drones though. I hope somehow they do make their way back to you guys!

[@mr.aroundo]

This is one of your splendid videos since I've been following you (from a different account but already subscribed by this account too!) Shizuoka is the most favourite place of mine so far. The latest visit was when I climbed Mount Fuji. Anyway, It's so nice to see such a cool video! Have fun and be safe from Covid-19 everyone!

[@lakayvideos]

I have been to the places you guys stopped over, except for the Ryugu Sea Cave! That looks really impressive rock formations and worthy to be explored. I wonder how many drones are lost around Shizuoka. I also lost a drone while filming around a waterfall, GPS signal was cut off and the props was tangled with a vine nearby. It fell on the river which is not accessible just after a typhoon, went back a week later and the river was knee-deep and I found the drone at the bottom stucked in between rocks. The drone is now a paperweight but I was really surprised that the footages are still intact. Everything is readable and SD card is still ok after a week at the bottom of a river. I enjoyed your roadtrip, keep safe!

[@goodDIR]

hannahさん、何時も日本の素晴らしい自然の中で楽しんでいますね❗️ これからも日本を楽しんでくださいね。

[@baywest]

The music is so different from your other videos but it fits the vibe perfectly! Instead of the serene, more calm music that's played when showcasing cultural landmarks this just has a chill but upbeat summer vibe which I'm sure is what you're going for. Idk what I'm trying to say I just like the switch-up but I've also always loved your previous stuff so....yeah.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Ah thank you so much! It’s always a challenge to find the right vibe for these kinds of videos but I’m glad you thought it fit well!

[@d3n0tz_]

You guys look like having a lot of fun! Very unfortunate with Chris' drone. But it looks like a great trip overall 😄

[@marcusa3177]

Press F for the brave drone, may it turn up at the nearest koban and find its way back to you guys somehow. Shizuoka is so underrated as a foreign tourist destination right? Almost to the same levels of under-appreciation as Shikoku. Can't wait to be able to travel again and spend at least a week in both places. Great job here Hannah!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

😂😂😂 Fingers crossed it finds its way back! And yes Shizuoka is SO underrated which is surprising since it’s so close to Tokyo! I wanna go already!

[@marcusa3177]

@@CurrentlyHannah I guess it's because of people min-maxing the JR Pass (not that that's a bad thing) and that there's no decent pass connecting Shizuoka to either Osaka, Nagoya, or Tokyo ie relegating Shizuoka (and Nagoya to an extent) to the shinkansen equivalent of a flyover state. What *is* the most cost-effective way of visiting Shizuoka from Tokyo or Nagoya, right? There's no easy answer for this unlike say, Osaka to Hiroshima (JR Kansai Hiroshima Area Pass, hands down)

[@geraldbaria]

That looked so fun. All these random places to swim you guys find, especially that last river one. Beautiful👏🏻

[@rahulghosh6049]

Though I see Mt.Fuji daily from my office window. But your video made Mt.Fuji look so beautiful and I discovered Fuji-san and the surrounding lakes in a very different way today.

Due to the crazy up's and down's in Japan with Corona, I have to stay put and wait until I can go on a trip on my own. But yes, just getting some more inspiration through your eyes which is...indeed pretty cool! Last year I was on a hiking trip through Nagano to visit all the post-towns of the Nakasendo. I want to do it again, but next time with a drone and some more friends. Haha. Enjoy your time guuuurl! Let me know in case you're about to hit Hiroshima at some point!
