Very unfortunate timing!!! Due to a global shortage of semiconductors, as of August 2 2023, all sales of NEW Suica and Pasmo cards will be temporarily suspended! (Nobody knows for how long) The Welcome Suica or Pasmo Passports will still be available on a limited basis. Welcome Suica will only be available at Major Japan airports. As of now, Pasmo is still available at locations outside the airport. They have also waived the ¥500 deposit. Please check the following links for more information:

Thank you. Your vid got us more confident to rent a car as we have a kid going around. More vids pls 😊
Very well made video. Thank you for this content.
I must say Kudo's to a great video, well explained, with map, details, cost and recommendations. Living nearby in Hachioji I will use this as a guide for my son and his family when they visit this coming spring. Nice Drone Shots. Thank you .
You got a new follower now.. thanks for all this tips.. planning japan it will help me the most :)
Exactly what I needed before I go to Japan. I booked my hotel in Shibuya since you mention the Highway Bus in Shibuya Mark. Thank you!!
Wonderfully done 👍👍
Thank you for showing things step by step, it does really help seeing that we can get around quite easily and feels way less daunting.
Great content and info! The way you explain things makes it easy for one to want to get out and travel in Japan! Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to your next trip and video 📹
I’m travelling sollo this coming feb 2024 i hope i can visit mt. Fuji
Excellent video thank you!
great content, thanks!
Wow, i just found your youtube channel and I'm obsessed! Keep making these type of videos, they are super informative and entertaining.
That's a great video, that's realaxing to visit this beautiful Mont Fuji area in your company !! Thanks for the good tips too.
Thank you so much for this vlog. Very useful
Great information! I like Yamanaka Lake!
Great vid!
Great Video!
Very informative! I enjoyed watching this (and all your videos) and living vicariously through them!
Thank you so much! We love sharing Japan with the world!
soak all tips as a sponge to plan trip to Japan for a future) After war in Ukraine will finish and my husband and I will be able to travel again, Japan is my TOP 1 destination to visit, and after 2022 I realized that I can no longer postpone this trip)
Thank you for the video 🤗
This video is very informative thank you very much. Will be there early December to see Chureito Pagoda 😍
Very informative video. I might stay in that area when I visit Mt Fuji. They’re kept their sense of humour those Ukraine girls.
Thank you so much ...I'll be going with some friends on the first week of May and this helps a lot!...i will be there a few days by my self and this seems like something i can do by my self.
You'll be fine.. Welcome to Japan.
Very good video sir
Thank you very much for making these videos! I'm going to visit Japan in April, so your videos are really helpful to get myself organised in advance. ❤
Waifu and I are planning a May visit, and she noted particularly your explanations and detail make your videos outstanding. Happily subscribed!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for the tips and the pin drop on Hancho street!
These are the biggest take away a from this video that helped us while we were there
1. Get there earlier, we beat the crowd at the Pagoda and got there at 6:00 and had a good hour to get all the shots we wanted
2. The mountain gets covered by clouds as the day progresses. By noon it was covered in clouds but the morning was completely clear
3. The Hancho pin drop.
Thanks again!!
That's so great to hear! So glad to know my advice actually helped someone. Thanks so much for your comment!
Great video! Visits to any tea farms in Shizuoka?
I love your videos. Very informative. Thanks. Btw what’s your camera?
New upload let's go!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this video, I'm actually going in 1 months time and am planning to propose at the chureito pagoda!! Will definitely take your advice to get there early, will i have room to set up my tripod to take photos/video of the moment ? You also mentioned that the lighting is quite backlit as the sun goes from right to left of Fuji.
Thanks again!
Bedankt
Thank you so very much!!
Great tips! I’m visiting Japan next month. Is 1 full day good enough to visit Mt Fuji and stay overnight in Fujiyoshida?
5:38 - I'm visiting Osaka and Tokyo soon, and in the week or so in Tokyo, I'm wondering if it's worth the trip to go specifically to that most photographed location by the Chureito Pagoda. I'm worried it could be cloudy. And as a three-hour bus trip, it would take a chunk of time just to go there for a few photos and then go back to Tokyo. It might not be so bad if I can get there really early. It seems most buses can't get there earlier than 8:25 AM; is that what you would recommend?
Great video! If combining with Hakone do you recommend staying near Hakone or where you stayed?
Depends on what you're looking for. Very different areas. PERSONALLY, I find Hakone to be boring and touristy. Not the "real Japan". I have a video being released this weekend that will explain what that means.
Any tips coming from Nagoya??? It makes me nervous planning 3/27 visit from Nagoya, any suggestions appreciated, thank you
Thanks for the video! If we're looking for these 'money photos' and do some outdoor hiking where should we stay? It's a bit confusing the whole Hakone, Lakes area. We're not planning on having a car, just doing the JR trains. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
Personally, I'm not a fan of Hakone. Everything shuts down so early and I find it kind of boring. If you want a place to relax, it's quiet and peaceful. As far as where to stay, as mentioned in the video, I recommend staying in the Fujiyoshida area near Mt. Fuji Station. All the "money photos" are within walking distance. If you're looking for specific lodging, again, I made a personal recommendation in the video. Train travel to Mt. Fuji Station from Shinjuku is about 2 hours.

@@DiscoveringJapan1 ok appreciate the reply very much! Was just trying to find a way to see Mt Fuji and on our way back from Kyoto. And do something a little different from Tokyo and Kyoto. Thanks again!
Great video. Do you think can rent a car to drive from Tokyo and back? Thanks
I'd actually recommend it for a trip like this. But, just my personal opinion.
Have you thought about doing group day trips? The company day trips seem to be so rushed, it puts me off from booking one.
Actually, I have... Seeing Japan from a local's perspective. Go where locals go and do what locals do. Yes, I agree. I hate being shuttled around like cattle.
I am planning to visit Hakone and Mt. Fuji in a 2 day visit. Should I stay longer and should I start at Fuji or Hakone
Depends on how must you want to see. When you say visit Mt. Fuji, do you want to go up ON Mt. Fuji, like to the 5th station or just view it? If you're not on a tight schedule, I recommend at least one additional day for these plans. I personally like to take things slow and not feel the pressure of a tight schedule.
How was your experience with driving car there with signs in Japanese? We are 2 adults and 2 small kids (3,5) thinking to rent car within kawaguchi area to roam around.
Well, I live here and drive every day, so I'm used to it and find it very easy. Maybe I need to make a video on this topic. Depending on where you're coming from, be aware that Japan drives on the left side. In short, I don't think you'll have any problems.
Hiya 👋 can you use your pasmo/suica card or do you need a special ticket to go to mount Fuji? As I understand there are two different train companies?
You can get to the Mount Fuji area by train using your pasmo or suica card. You can also use these cards to take a public bus to mount Fuji's 5th station. However, it is cheaper to buy a bus ticket to mount Fuji's 5th station from the Mount Fuji train station.
@@DiscoveringJapan1 many thanks for coming back to me, love your vids and it's so informative! One last question once you touch in with your IC card do you have to touch the reader again when you get to the other station to confirm how much you get charged or do IC cards have a standard charge across the board? Like we do in London with our "oyster card" a single trip is £1.65 again many thanks and appreciate the video 👍🏽
Hi again... Yes, you tap in and out with your card. Also when you change train lines. It will be very obvious when you get here. Check the video from 18:09.
I just bought Jr pass for 7 days, is it better to just rent a car?
