Thanks for the video. I was in Mishima in December of 2017 for a conference at the College of International Relations. It was my first trip to Japan and I enjoyed it immensely. While I also did spend a day in Tokyo, which was an amazing experience, it was particularly nice to stay in a much smaller town, to ride the Shinkansen and also to see Mount Fuji. Coincidentally, I too stayed at the Toyoko Inn Fujisan Mishima-eki. My room was small, but it was clean and comfortable and the hotel also offered a nice breakfast. So, everything I needed.

How far is Mishima to Mount Fuji?

[@carlrosa1130]

Taking a bus from Mishima Station, the commute is about 90 minutes (to the ground level, named Kawaguchiko). Then, from the Kawaguchiko station, it's about 2 hours to get to level 5.

I saw mishima island on a map, and its the only place ive wanted to go, (not the same place as you)

[@reylbeckmercado9967]

Thanks for the video! What is currently true about the repopulation initiative that supposedly pays nationals and foreigners to relocate and start a life in rural areas of the village of Mishima? I understand it refers to an island in the Kagoshima Prefecture... Please take care and enjoy!

[@carlrosa1130]

Not sure about that. I'll look into that next week. I have a friend who lives in Mishima (near the border of Nagaizumi) and I can ask them about your question. Thank you so much!

@@carlrosa1130 Hello, I was also hoping to hear about “repopulation initiative in Mishima” in this video

[@carlrosa1130]

@@parkourphiri8452 Thank you for the comment, Parkour but I don't believe someone visiting Mishima for the first time would be interested in anything like that. The videos have to be kept to a minimum to explain the city and what to expect, without getting too detailed. Thank you again.
