Thanks for watching this video! Spellbinding Japan is a brand new channel, showcasing the beauty and uniqueness of Japan, in a “silent vlog” format. In order to influence the direction this channel will go in, please tell me what you like and don’t like about the content of the videos. Should I focus more on Japanese food? Should I visit certain places in Japan? Should I video staying at hotels? Should I cover travel by plane, ferry, bus, or train? Let me know, and it will have a big impact on where this new channel will go…
Before purchasing the Hakone freepass, please ask for the Hakone freepass brochure and read the fine print on the bottom of the front page. There is a rule that says, "The Hakone Freepass (including those valid for multiple days) cannot be used after returning to your departure station." Basically, the freepass is encourages people to stay in Hakone to fully benefit from it. It doesn't matter if two or three days pass once you return back to Shinjuku station, the freepass cannot be reused again. In our case the station staff took away our two-day pass which was only used for one day. Anyway, I think I should put it out there to let everyone know there is a rule they need to know about it. Love your videos.
This was a great video since it showed what it was like taking the Romance Car to Hakone and also showed the Open Air Museum, which I haven't seen in any other videos. I was hoping you could clarify 3 points. One, since you took the Romance Car, but had to sit backyards for the duration of the trip, while I noticed that this has large windows to see the scenery, did you really think it was worth taking (gather it takes an extra half house vs. taking the Shinkansen). I think you mentioned or I heard that you can typically view all the exhibits in 1 to 1.5 hours. Would you agree....since you mentioned the large Picasso exhibit, I wondered if this is enough time. I also noted that you said you'd be doing a vlog which shows the famous Tori gate & shrine, the ship tour (pirate ship) and a visit to Owakudani. Did you take this trip?....I didn't see any video and wanted to watch it. Thanks for making this interesting. Cheers, Ron

Videos like this are my guilty pleasure)
Great video. Just about all videos of japan are done in sunshine, so nice to see some real weather. Later next year I will be there.
Nice video
Please make the summer vlog so that people visiting in summer will know which clothes to bring.
