3 days with 5 friends stuffed in a campervan driving around Shizuoka and Mt Fuji - what could go wrong? Turns out... quite a lot! Regardless, this was still probably one of the most fun trips I've ever been on and I hope I was able to convey it in this video!

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

[@williamarthurgeorgedeacon9702]

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

[@Matthew_McRae]

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)

[@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

[@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

[@Gantorin]

What BEAUTIFUL sight of Fuji-san!

[@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. 👐

[@lschantz64]

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

[@aquaarietta]

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

[@gabriel-de8yv]

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

[@FireMouse2]

These epic videos are soooo worth waiting for!! Thank you for your hard work!

[@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!

[@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!

[@AmbientWalking]

How beautiful. I really love this. Thank you Hannah!

[@AndryRakotomalala]

This video was a great vibe Hannah! Love these videos with friends and they all seem fantastic.

[@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 !

[@aymaned]

these shots are epic, they're really beautiful and make you love the scenery even more. Great work

[@adammontebello702]

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

[@geraldbaria]

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

[@chuckmontecillo9620]

It's been so great watching you develop your style and your channel's evolution. Keep up the amazing work!

[@mymidnightjapaneserecipes6579]

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

[@rollingjunkie]

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

[@yousefsonbol2960]

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

[@PatrickSchraner]

Really love this style of video! Absolute joy to watch! Please keep up the great work!

[@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 😆

[@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!

[@kayteeflick]

This was SO good. The footage, the music, and your friends are just so delightful. I did a van trip last year in Japan and it did not go so smoothly (even including the lost drone).

[@bombtham]

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

[@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.

another beautiful video, love every single footage and music you used! and of course, beautiful place ❤

[@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.

[@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 😶

[@Taikun787]

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

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Haha thank you!

[@Tyler380]

The drone shots are spectacular.. I love when you fly it..

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!👏✨☺️

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!

You’re absolutely right😊

[@TankPlaysGames]

Hannah! Oh my god you look amazing! I've been going through a weightless journey myself and seeing how healthy you're looking is inspiring!!!!

[@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!

[@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).

Deep inhale: NEICHAAA! ♥ I really enjoyed watching the video. Next to great footage, it is just a nice relaxing and funny story with friends. :D Just what I needed. 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!

[@faitsang7139]

amazing video, thank you for going to and showing Kawazu. Brings back memories when I was there years ago. Did you guys stay overnight at the ryokan?

[@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.
