- ▽▲Cherry Blossom Mania: Mt. Fuji and Nara▲▽
Let's leaves Tokyo for the Japanese countryside.
Mt. Fuji's Kawaguchiko (lake) and Yoshinoyama (mountain) in Nara Prefecture. Yoshinoyama is the no.1 spot for viewing the cherry blossoms in all of Japan.
We also look at some of the unique foods made from cherry blossoms at Yoshinoyama: ice cream, yokan, sushi and sakura liquor.
Knowing the cherry blossoms (sakura) is to know Japan itself. Their beauty comes quickly and is short lived -- falling from the tree after only 10 days. The samurai lived knowing their life would be short, and that spirit is in each cherry blossom.
Called "mono no aware" which is deeply rooted in Buddhism, Japanese have a strong connection to all things. The beauty felt for the sakura is deep. Mono no aware is also an important factor in how Japanese connect to manga, anime and things important to them.
This show has been created and produced by John Daub. He's been living and working in Japan for over 15 years and regularly reports on an International TV Show for Japan's International Channel.
Casting light on quirky, funny & amazing Japanese culture in a way only seen through the eyes of a foreigner! Join us as we penetrate deep into the heart of Japan!

We have cherry blossoms in Washington D.C. They were a gift from Japan. Though they're not displayed so fantastically like the ones in Japan. Japanese know how to truly showcase and compliment the beauty of the Sakura. Your narration, camera angles, and resolution quality makes watching these videos a therapeutic experience. Subscribed!
Your countryside videos are always a treat. The shots with all the Sakura in bloom on the mountainside where magnificent.
Thank you! New shows are scheduled to come out every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.

Seeing all the beautiful sights in Japan..make me want to cry for sure. 😉

Greetings from Tel Aviv.
I have been to Nara but I did not know about Yoshino Yama! So pretty! I can't wait for the toilet video!! Looks so funny!!
Beautiful scenes of spring! I can't wait to go back to Japan!! Appreciate this series. Thanx!
Mt Fuji and Nara seem like such peaceful places to enjoy the Sakura season - As always thanks for sharing.
:) :)
Keep making the videos i love Japan and this channel
This is one of my favorite episode. The Cherry Blossoms are amazing! I've always wanted to plan a mountain full of the blossoms in Sikkim where I have land to do so. Perhaps I'll make it there someday and bring home with me the Japanese varieties. Thank you so much for this amazing video of Yoshinoyama, it's so beautiful.
I’m talking from 2019 and decided to see every video from the beginning of the channel. I’m lovin’ the content so far.
Thanks much for indicate the exact location, John! I've marked on my google map. I shall visit this path next year. Enjoyed your "only in Japan" TH-cam shows. Please keep it up!!!! Bravo!!!
a love this and miss this season in japan, wish to come back....arigato gozamasu!!!
Really enjoying these videos, please keep them coming!
thanks again for the vid :D , beautiful view, I wish I can go there :D
You're lucky being there. The best timing of cherry blossoms! Since cherry blossoms in Kanto area ends in a week or 10 days, it's hard to be in the spot at the peak time.
wow, the Kamisenbon looked amazing.. you must do more sakura videos next year!
Hello AZ-Zakwanul Faiz bin Zakaria! Well, there are so many! It's best to make a reservation online before going during peak times like this.
I did day trips (a shame because I didn't want to leave!)
jalan.net is the no.1 hotel reservation site in Japan. Google Translate can help and there are photos and a phone number to call. Many hotel clerks a bigger hotels can speak a little English.
LOVED IT..........
Im soooooooooooooo jelly right now!
I really dream of coming here and this channel helps my dream grow
Very very beautiful!!

Hey mate I'm on route to Japan soon and I've really been enjoying your videos! Cheers & keep it up!
how was ur Japan trip?
How was your trip to 🇯🇵 ?????????????????!!!!??!!
splendid
Hey John! Thanks for making all these videos, I love them and they inspired me to visit japan and rediscover all the place you covered. I was wondering what train/train station did you take to get to Kawaguchiko Lake? There seems to be many ways but I'm not sure which one I should travel by. Also what's the must thing to do while in Fukuoka to go to (if you know any spots) I'll be staying there for semester for college so I want experience as much as I can.Thanks!!! Huge fan Keep up the videos!
Thank you Nima5124!
🌸cherry blossom🌸
Spectacular!
john this is great but I can see how much you have grown since this video was shot
Thank you for the video.
i love japan
3:51 I want sakura softserve too! 4:45 I also want the sakura yokan!
Hey mate when are you going to put some more videos up. Totally hanging out for them
Thanks Astroboy3507! Next: The Amazing Japanese Toilet!
John you really need to put in how to get to Yoshinoyama. Hyperdia had no directions from Kyoto. From Osaka, you really can only use Kintetsu Rail, which can be booked up in advance. We had JR West passes and could only get to Nara. We enjoyed Nara, but our trip emphasis was cherry blossoms.
Can you please please make a list of places to visit while vacation in japan ( 7 days ) ...!!!
one day trip isn't enough. any hotels you can suggest?
Yes I know thanks for yr reply !!
Hey John! You mentioned that its good to go in early spring because the air is cool enough to keep the air clear, but when exactly did you go on this trip to Kawaguchiko and Yoshinoyama? Were Kawaguchiko and Yoshinoyama back to back trips? I'd like to go visit Japan within a year, and I'd like to time everything perfectly if possible for a 2 week trip!
10 days seems like a very short window of opportunity haha.
Thanks :)
Next weeks looks funny.
♥♥♥
I did d110th like
Can you please tell me where this Sakura path exactly is by the lake Kawaguchiko? I just visited Kawaguchiko this past March but failed to discover it.
Really? It's quite famous. Sorry you missed it :( it's on the back side, about a 12 min bus ride from the train station, across the bridge.

Hope that helps :) -John

Japanese native cherry blossom trees do not have any edible fruits, their ones are usually very tiny and just seeds, since they are similar, but different species/varieties from cherry trees who got edible ones. So they are simply for viewing pleasure only.

Ugh I wanna live there
There was no Japanese subtitles, I tried to review.It may also went to Yoshino in Lake Kawaguchi. It is a place very beautiful.
By the way, can you read me Japanese comments?
I'm really interested visiting Japan. But, I'm a little worried, since I'm a vegetarian. And sadly, I don't see many vegetarian food options in the Japanese restaurants in the country where I live. :(
May be a Japanese can clarify in this regard?
or come to the neherlands for the flowers! ......neeeh japan is probably cooler, here it`s coolest if you have a boat. witch I don`t have. (I so need to win the lotery or something)
And a bunch of fishing retirees XD
