hello again, i already found an alternative route. I cant seem to find the direct route from Shinjuku to shimoyoshida. But i'll just go to Kawaguchiko station then Shimoyoshida station and follow your steps from there hihi!! I'll be travelling alone in Japan on January thanks for your video!!! very informative and helpful for me.

Loved this! Super helpful! I have a question though, was the roundtrip bus you guys booked the one from Shimoyoshida? Also what is the latest you can leave the area? (If you know) I’m going soon and would love to know! Thank you!

We applied for a permit to fly our drone in Japan. There are usually signs where it will state not to drone if drones aren’t allowed, and of course abide by any drone rules as with other Countries :) DJI also cover a bit of information about flying in Japan and share where you can find more info on dos and don’ts :)

Hello , it has been really a helpful video for me . Just wanted some suggestions from your side . Actually Im planning a trip to Japan this april , can you please look into my itinerary if its fine Starting point - TOKYO ( 4 days ) ➡️KYOTO(2 days ) ➡️ OSAKA( 3 days ) ➡️ Return to TOKYO for departure. P.s : should i prefer a day trip from tokyo to Mt Fuji or should i stay at Hakone ?

Would it be possible to get your transportation notes for this Mt Fuji day? I am going in March for my dream bucket list trip to Japan. I am planning to do a day trip from Shinjuku to do this exact itinerary ( with ropeway) I was almost planning to skip it and do Hakone instead because it’s easier to get too, but I just feel like this is a lot less touristy and memorable. I am reading that it’s best to reserve your bus ticket ahead of time to make sure you get on it early in the morning which is concerning because I would rather make sure I get to go on a good weather day, but I want to make sure I have enough time to enjoy the area and get there at an earlier time. Around what time did you head back to Shinjuku that evening?

Just came across your video as I’m planning for my Japan trip! A quick question, which stop did you alight at Shima Yoshida? I’m tryna book the highway bus tickets in advance but not sure which route to take!

Thank you so much for showing prices in AUD . All other vlogs use USD and man… tired of converting everytime 😅 Oh and Asian Queenstown 😂
