(intro music)
- Today we're exploring Mt. Fuji, Lake Ashi,
and riding a bullet train, and we couldn't
ask for a more perfect day to do that.
We stopped up here at one of the viewpoints
on Mt. Fuji, and we get this incredible view of
some of the other Japanese mountains.
The peak of Mt. Fuji doesn't seem that high
when you're up here at the viewpoint, but
it's actually almost 4,000 meters above
sea level.
(intro music)
We've made it here to lake ashi, we're gonna
hop on the boat and sail away.
So we're out here on Lake Ashi, and not
only is it breathtaking and known for
its hot springs, but most importantly, it's
known for the incredible views of Mt. Fuji.
Got my ticket, gonna head up the Hakane ropeway.
(upbeat music)
So the ropeway has brought us up here to the
top of Komagatake, and the views are breathtaking.
You have Mt. Fuji, you have Lake Ashi, and
then in the distance
I'm in love
(upbeat music)
- This lake is just so tranquil, and
just beautiful, wish I could stay here
longer too actually.
- Now I have a bullet train waiting for me to
take me back, so let's hop on board.
Japan is home to the second fastest train
in the entire world, so when you visit this
country, you have to go take the opportunity
to ride on the train.
Today has been epic, I got to see Mt. Fuji,
and Lake Ashi, and now I have a bullet train
that's taking me home.
Life is good.
