I love Hakone so much, you can see Mount Fuji, experience onsen from the mountain or even coffee onsen! a very interesting Hydrangea train, go down the big lake with big Torii Gate, and go up to the sulphuric Owakudani mountain which apparently sells black egg that believed can make you stay on earth for 7 years longer 😂 plus there’s Hakone open air museum.. haven’t been to Nikko, but i think Hakone is hard to beat tho! 🤭

@user-dy4qn4eu8u Год назад

If travelers would like to challenge to go to deep place of Japan courageously, I recommend them to go to Dewa sanzan, especially Haguro mountain in Yamagata prefecture where mountain preasts called Yamabushi or spiritual psychics train on the mountain. Travelers can also experience their ascetic and a little severe practices wearing characteristic white clothes.

@Pvemaster2 Год назад

I was in Tsuruoka during the snow storm so unfortunately couldn't go, seems like an amazing place

@shaunaobrien2763 Год назад

This was one of my favourite trips in Japan. We stayed in a shukubo (temple stay) on Haguro San. Loved seeing the beautiful pagoda, climbing the 2,446 stone steps and seeing the Yamabushi (mountain monks) with their conch 🐚 Yamagata is such an underrated prefecture. I recommend Yamadera if you're visiting the area, too!

@user-dy4qn4eu8u Год назад

@Pvemaster2 Oh,That was a shame.You seemed to be so close to Mt.Haguro.I hope you could walk up to the mountain next time. The many steps to the pagoda and shrine are sorounded by clear sacred air and very tall old ceder trees. I think little waterfall also still exists one the way to the shrine.

@user-dy4qn4eu8u Год назад

@Shauna O'Brien It's great!! you made it!! As you tell us, I think Yamagata is one of the hidden good tour destinations in Japan. Especially, their beef, ramen, fruits, sake, vegitables, imoni potato soup and soba are very good taste. Yamadera is also wonderful place which temple is on the mountain.

@user-dy4qn4eu8u Год назад

@Eversteijn Oh,that's great.Thank you for adding it to your maps. Mogami river cruise and Japanese cherry picking might be also interesting.

@lwajun5681 Год назад

Great video. Japan is rich in tourism resources, and Japanese people frequently travel within the country. Each region has its own specialties and offers delicious meals and souvenirs that make the most of these specialties. As a volcanic country, Japan has hot springs all over the country, and bathing in hot springs while enjoying nature is a regular trip for Japanese people.

I'm going to Kyoto next week, but I can't make such an attractive video. Please continue to travel to Japan. I do too Oh, I have to study English too. ^^

@TravellingSunglasses Год назад

My first “Let’s go” was at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="33">0:33</a> seconds :D the first of many! Buying your guide as soon as the video ends, we’re hoping to travel next year with our 4-year-old :)

@BenfromBrilliantSide Год назад

I just bought this guide and WOW!!!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for putting this together. I am headed to japan for 2 weeks in april and I'm already going to Tokyo, Kyoto, and probably Kanazawa. But I had a couple extra days I needed to fill and I wasn't sure where to go. So this guide has been a life saver. Thank you for putting it together. And I encourage anyone thinking of going to japan to buy it!

@CurrentlyHannah Год назад

That’s so great to hear! 😍 I’m so excited to start seeing people travelling to these places!

@alwaysinsearch 10 месяцев назад

Did you go in your trip? What were your must see places?

@BenfromBrilliantSide 10 месяцев назад

@@alwaysinsearch I did go on my trip! It was great. I spent time in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Kanazawa. All three places were quite different. I liked Kyoto more than Tokyo. In fact, Kyoto is a city I could see myself living. Kanazawa was also AMAZING, and sort of a hidden gem. My favorite place I went was Lake Shoji which is one of the 5 lakes near mount fuji. I got an absolutely epic picture of myself with Mount Fuji. The weather was perfect, but that isn't always the case (sometimes the mountain isn't even visible because of the clouds). Fair warning, if you take a bus to lake shoji I think there are only 2 per day, and it makes trying to connect to the train very difficult. If I had to do it again I would stay at a hotel that is near Lake Shoji (you can google it).

@_y_aiueo Год назад

These recommendations are AMAZING!!! As someone who has lived in Japan for a long time, just thinking of researching transportation and translating is overwhelming lol I'm surprised you didn't include Tohoku. Highly recommend Towada-ko and Oirase-Keiryu if you haven't been there! Also all the small islands like Tsushima and Hachijo-jima

@tamerebel Год назад

I'm living in Tohoku region now, thanks for the tips!

@shaunaobrien2763 Год назад

Love this! I have been to a few of the places on your list - Nikko a few times. Shirakawago was magical, it snowed a bit when I was there. I also recommend nearby Hida Takayama. Beppu was so lovely, and I loved visiting the art galleries in nearby Oita City, too. Ouchi-juku was beautiful in the autumn. I had such a nice day there. I loved the whole Aizu area of Fukushima, and stayed in an amazing vegan-friendly guest house in an old school, called Dana Village in Nishi-Aizu. So so recommended. I lived in Japan for a few years and this year am going back for the first time since leaving. I have visited every prefecture, but Nachi Falls is still high on my list! Maybe this time. Just to echo your tip to rent a car - please do! I loved driving in Japan. It was so easy, as I'm from the UK, so used to driving onthe left, all the cars are automatic and the roads are really good. You see sooo much beauty. Aso San was one of the most beautiful drives I've ever done. I really loved it there. Also, you get to stop at roadside service stations and pick up lovely local souvenirs and local produce. Can't wait to come back, you have really inspired me ❤️

@CurrentlyHannah Год назад

Oh I see you’ve really done a lot of travel in Japan too! I just added Dana Village to my maps 😄 Thanks for the recommendation!
