Mt Fuji Shiraito Waterfall in Fujinomiya

Tokyo ended the state of emergency so we decided to go on a little road trip to circle Mt Fuji in a rental car. We're stretching our legs at Fujinomiya's Shirotaki Falls, one of Japan's Top 100 sights! It's a really nice waterfall more beautiful in the sunshine, but for us, we were jus happy to be in the grerat outdoors - fresh air, lots of trees.

Lovely to see you both out and about and great to see the ‘naked’ Fuji San with no snow on top. Beautiful waterfalls. 😊

[@andiedance8263]

[@GilAsakawa]

So nice to see you two out and about in nature if not in the city. Thanks so much for giving us a peek at Japan outside your apartment!

[@shellypriest5320]

Beautiful! Takes me out of myself for a time! Thank you John and Kanae!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Great to see you outside again! Fuji has its own coffee and ice cream too? Quite a popular volcano. Cool falls

[@megarusso]

Great to see you out and about John! We have been really lucky that we moved to a more rural location outside london in November last year. That means we have had a great time exploring the local footpaths with our dog, all while remaining isolated from others. It's important for people to see you keeping safe but please do enjoy having a bit of time outside. And as always keep up the great work!

[@okayklif]

Thanks for tnis beautiful trip to mt fuji , we need it too because of our mental. Keep safe too.

[@sydneydevries2352]

Yayy so happy to see you guys outdoors again!!! Japan is so beautiful! 😍

Thank you both for such wonderful video segments. It's like we are actually there!! Be safe

[@suechun8871]

Waterfalls were super...and shopping fun.

[@mokenshi]

That place looks amazing. Can't wait for things to get back to normal so I can go.

[@andiedance8263]

i agree .. they have the best of both worlds

[@otherhenry3645]

Thank you Kanae and John. I feel refreshed just by watching all that greenery. The sound of the waters takes me back to Noboribetsu. 💘 SF

[@andiedance8263]

'winter bamboo' sweet n tender soooo good

[@commanderstraker6732]

Hi John and Kanae. It's so great to once again see the beautiful views in Japan that you film for us. The lockdown seems like it's been going on for an eternity. Stay Safe!

[@KSPRAYDAD]

Glad we didn't have to go to Instagram...no access :) Great to see you out and about and that the falls were not over run with people. Everyplace you go I add to my 'wan to go here' google map so that when I eventually get to Japan there will be a lot of places pre-marked for adventure :)

[@victorygardener379]

So happy to see the two of you outside!

[@sakurafernandez5552]

what a beautiful place... I went there last year Januray....started off as a little road trip to feel better from morning sickness and ended up in Fuji...

[@lucketa5]

so glad to see you back on the field!

[@WhiteDragon689]

Beautiful and most important it looks safe. Kanae is your safety sensor... LOL Enjoy.

[@meimeiparker]

Wow John & Kanae! How beautiful the waterfall & Mt. fuji! I know you both needed this and I'm sure this must look so amazing in person. Thanks for taking one for the team! ❤😊🙋

[@marvicbartolome9556]

What beautiful surrounding. Nice waterfalls, it reminds me of Rainbow Falls in Hilo.

[@misskirimi6866]

I have a bad migraine right now, its 12 am. But this video is a must because my mental health is deteriorating. Mr. John please do a lot of this kind of tour, and the traditional Japanese house tour too I love those. Regards from Canada :)

[@ProfWilliam]

Finally outside! Good to see you out there! It's seems there are hope! :)

[@astroboy3507]

What guys your outdoors!!! 😯❤ that's so good to see you guys supporting that local place felt so good to see guys!! 😥❤ Yummy bamboo!! And sweet potatoes,daicon!!! Yum0!!

[@ariepaul]

So happy you guys are back on tour! I enjoyed watching it and I can feel you two did too. So, great to be back pn line isn’t it?! Best wishes from the south of Norway!

[@moriganbecks4811]

Nice to see you both get out and being safe as you travel. Many Americans aren't this weekend, crowded beaches. Stay safe.

[@bettyG101]

Thank you both for showing us this GORGEOUS PLACE!! OMG, point 17:29 min needs to be put on a canvas!! Your description made me feel as if I were there....sugoi!

[@wasabiapple2924]

Seriously! I might take some art classes just so I CAN paint it, myself, to put on my wall!

[@asamax64]

Wow. Hi Kanae hi John. Great to see you outside!!! And as always, Japan is so beatiful. Take care and stay safe. ❤🇮🇹🇯🇵

[@vincekimura3937]

glad you and kanae could take a break! i was there at the falls while visiting purpose company who mfrs Takagi tankless water heaters. i represent Takagi in hawaii. nice video of the falls. the black bldg was not there 2yrs ago. we stayed one night in Fuji city, via Shin fuji stn.

[@wasabiapple2924]

Wow!!! Breathtaking doesnt begin to describe those waterfalls!!! Thank you for ALWAYS delivering amazing, engaging, and POSITIVE content for everyone! I told you in person (I met you at the first NYC meetup), but I'll say it again. You've created a WONDERFUL community! The people who have rallied around you are so supportive and welcoming! Thank you for all you do and continue to do!!!

[@RamPageRodz]

Great to watch the livestream again. Bamboo shoots are a common delicacy here in my country.

[@OllamhDrab]

Fuji-san is just astounding. Where I'm from, our 'mountains' are much smaller, but often much closer and steeper. A scene like that it's like, clouds part and you're ....kind of lik on an airplane, but on the ground. :)

[@befairmonk5988]

Finally, you are outside!! I believe that even a tap water in this town taste like mineral water.

[@TeresaDavis-uk7su]

Awesome!!!!

[@malblount1792]

It was good to see you both out and about again. John you looked like a kid in a sweet shop😁....stay safe and enjoy. Big thumbs up to you and Kanae 👍

[@jason_from_canada]

Beautiful falls! Good to John and Kanae in the outside world again! 👍

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

OH! nice to see a walking stream!! I have been enjoying watching past streams with all my free time, loads of neat things to pick out in them that I never noticed before :) You gotta go on another adventure to Makuhari Messe, such an interesting place, and I bet it's empty now!!

[@joannewhyley4216]

Waterfall just Beautiful so peaceful place to walk. Love your channel Hi John and Kanae .Stay safe and take care.

[@smoaktree]

LOL I love your duck sounds, John. You look so happy!

[@ZoeLateNight]

You’re out! 🤩 gorgeous! Sorry I missed you guys. Will try and catch you tonight for the night-drive

[@scooternak53]

Great mask, looks good and gets the job done!

[@WeAreBikeScouts]

Aww, I missed this livestream! You're out in the real world again! Have fun!

[@bkhelen]

Support local businesses, good on you. Always support the small owner operated business.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

I wish we could have done more but I wanted to keep my distance from sellers (to make them comfortable) but I don’t think they cared. They just want to do business again. We’ll be back to the Fuji area in June.

[@Proberaumwurst]

I've by now witnessed John trying to communicate with cats, dogs, and ducks, in their respective languages and I've come to the conclusion that he's pretty good at this. John truly is a talented communicator! It's great to see you outside again, always enjoy your videos, thank you!

[@SuperSaiyaGinge]

When I went to Fujinomiya last year in March 2019, I wished that city was more public transport friendly. I thought about checking out that waterfall but it was just too far to walk from Fujinomiya train station as my hotel was quite close to it. I also hardly knew any Japanese so when I tried to investigate if there were any buses to get to it I had no luck. And Google Maps couldn't tell me either. I think for my next Japan trip I am going to do the travelling via car and visit more of the remote places that way. But man! That waterfall looks amazing! :D

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Christopher Brown i went by bicycle. It was a long ride but that was back in 2000. Yes, outside urban areas, you need to take a taxi or get a car - or hitchhike. It was worth the trip to visit Shiraito Falls. Def try to make it.

[@TDZune]

Finally we have japones outdoors again, I miss this videos

[@Palecpecvlogs]

oh how we've missed your outside adventures! great to see you outdoors again!

[@andiedance8263]

yes... you're back

[@halfey]

This is a good find. Since I couldn't go to Japan this year (cancelled my trip to Saga) I'm planning to go to Yamanashi next year instead. From the map this place seems only 1 hour drive from Yamanashi. Might rent a car to go here.

[@suntzu4607]

Oh it's Shiraito falls.. I hate those damn stairs, reminds me of how much out of shape I was and it seems that they've finished the construction from the last time I went there.

[@dutchmangoesjapan]

Bwhaha I laughed so hard when you quacked to the ducks

[@onlyinjapanGO]

I’ve missed the animals 🦆 in the wild. I wonder if they’ve missed us?

So lucky we were! 🏔 got a clear view! It had been going in and out of clouds all day.

[@Eric-vh1zv]

Finally, John u free. I have been waiting for your outside live stream for a while.

[@oleksandrzubchenko210]

"It's nice to be in the great outdors" - this is exactly what we all like after almost 3 month of quarantine.

[@OllamhDrab]

As much as I sometimes envy people who live in hopping cities like Tokyo, I'm a mechanic in the woods. There may not be pretty waterfalls here but 'quarantine' means 'about seven acres' instead of 'Apartment walls.' :) Glad to see you guys get out. John was looking a fair bit frayed back there last time. :)

John should carry portable battery pack to recharge batteries. MT. Fuji is a Ninja Mountain.

[@FBNdude]

Thanks for this. Definitely on the list for the next Japan trip. Were there any restrictions on using a drone there? It would get some spectacular shots.

[@thatgirl3757]

The top of Mt Fugi is a beautiful way to end the video

[@steadholderharrington9035]

Ahhh. The fresh outdoor air, the gorgeous Mount Fuji views, the gurgling brook (stream) below you.... and L O T S of R O O M to stretch your legs in (where are all of the people? ^_^ ). How many times are you able to do that on a mini vacation around one of the 100 top sites in Japan? I am so jealous of you and you wife right now. Be safe, stay healthy! = - )

Thank you for taking us here John & Kanae! 🙌 I agree 17:29 is spectacular! I can’t wait to be able to come again and next time definitely get a car and explore these areas! Thank you so much, it must have felt great to get out of the house and have this as your first destination to recharge your batteries! 💚

Been there in September. Amazing place. Not very nice surroundings though

[@blth123]

Hi John, Thanks for posting the show. I am curious, if there are any quick stops on the highway? Do they open during this time?

[@katesommerville7217]

We have more restrictions being lifted tomorrow, social distancing just feels normal. I would have been in Tokyo in a couple of days 😢. Oh well, maybe next year 👍

[@Glutinous_rice5707]

Hi john, i been searching for japan waterfall video , and i guess i found only afew ppl doing waterfall video. I wonder is japan only have afew waterfall or it’s just not that popular for japanese to travel and camping around waterfall?

[@xcalibertrekker6693]

If only this was in HD.

[@PMX]

No japan video is complete without some traffic cones (japan loves cones), but these were awesome lol 36:05 🗻

[@edwardwong8202]

Its great you and Kanae can go outside today. Too many people are not distances themselves in the US. How are the people handling it right now? I heard they lifted the stay at home in Tokyo.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Technically, we should NOT get out of the car - but we just came to stretch our legs. We just wanted to drive around today - around all of Mt Fuji. Kanae got a chance to practice driving too. People are handling it too well. I’m afraid people will rush out, but everyone is wearing masks and doing their best to keep distance. I’m going to be careful going out and try to stay local b from June, I have to start filming again.

Just trying my luck here for a quick question :) I'm planning to head over here in February 2024 around 4pm; would 4pm be too dark during the winter season?

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Too dark for what? 😉 you can use Google maps and it will tell you the open/close times. You can also google search and ask sunset times, it’ll tell you if you put the date and place. 4pm is right before sunset 🌅

The real Mt. Fuji! (Not a picture on the TV)

[@SuperSaiyaGinge]

19:17 I would so love to stand under that waterfall. Why does Japan like to have no signs for everything...so annoying. But, there's a really small one I know of out in the Scottish countryside where I live and it runs down after a lot of rain. Gonna have to do that soon. There is just something nice about doing that when you know it's crystal clear water as well.

Is it hard to get there by train?

Yes, bicycle is good but it’s still far. Car is best - hitchhiking does work though!
