Dear Rion, you are such a positive personality, pure role model. The Hakone birthday adventure was really shocking from the late night changing the room, less sleep in the very first hours of your Birthday, then for you challinging ropeway rides, smelly volcanic inferno with experiencing a specially boiled only outside "black" egg up to the unfortunatelly cancelled special rapid train to Shunjuku. The fancy breakfast at the hotel in spite of yours cute sleepyness and the special birthday lunch with beer at the Gotenba Outlet overlooking the Mt. Fuji were highlights of your special day and you will for sure remember it forever. The Outlet itself is a nice place to visit even if you are not a brand addicted person. After a cloudy or even misty morning the sunshine during the rest of the day improved the atmosphere. In the end everything is fine that ends well, for you have safelly reached crowded Shinjuku Station. Thanks so much for enabling us to joyn your Birthday Trip. It was quite an experience. Let's keep on walking! GAOOOO...
You show such resilience when things go wrong! Taking a break, having a coffee, and making the best of the situation. Plus I loved seeing the countryside out the window of the local train. Saiko! Happy birthday!
Rion! Happy Birthday! We just got back from our trip to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kinosaki Onsen! Watching your videos gave us inspiration and a lot of good information for our trip. We had a great time, GAO!
3:17 There are many choices for breakfast, which is good😋👍. 9:15 😯! these two kinds of salt wasabi and garlic wasabi can be bought and eaten 😋👍. 9:51 this kuro tamago with a smiling face is so cute, I will definitely buy it, when I come here😍😘😁🥚⚫️. 11:08 😄~ HappŸ BirthdaŸ to RiÖn ~ GaooooooooÖ 🥳!!! 12:52 curry 🍛😍😋. 15:15 Mt.

Thank you so much for Rion's Hakone trip on the second day, let's keep riding cable car to Owakudani Gotenba and the wide Premium Outlet 🫡🤝!
Thanks for the 2-episodes videos Rion! I think it wasn't that bad the train had cancelled, as long as you still able to get back to Shinjuku via another train / other options. After all you got to enjoy different views and spent longer time with the beautiful sceneries too. All good! Looking forward to your Fantasy Springs visit videos !
Arigatougozaimasu, Rion, for sharing your Hakone birthday travel adventure. The ropeway was very scenic. Your birthday dinner was meccha oishi and the Mt. Fuji views were sugoi. You always have the best way of handling unexpected delays and changes of plans. You do it with a smile. 🙂👍🗻
So glad you had a great birthday trip to Hakone (after the bad start and bad end). Your visit was very quiet. I visited Hakone on my birthday last November and it was very busy. One hour wait for the ropeway! It was great to re-live my adventure again with your video. It is amazing to see and hear all the sounds of Japan again. It is such a long way from the UK, but i will return again one day soon. Thank you Rion.
Gotemba, been there twice, back in 2016, our first time in Japan and then on 2018. Miss that place, a good spot for big discounts on a lot of items. Good spot also for a Mt Fuji backdrop.
There's always something new to experience in every adventure of yours which never fails to make my grey days brighter!😊 I really admire your optimistic personality in facing any challenges. Smile!😊Gaoo🦁
On my first trip to Japan in 2012 my friend took me out to Hakone and it was awesome. SO last year I decided to make the trip by myself from Tokyo, alone. It was a long day but it was really cool to navigate all that way by myself and just enjoy the trip. Also, Happy birthday!
First of all, Happy Birthday Rion! Last year me and my GF took almost the same trip as you, just reverse. 😃 Hakone-Yumoto, Gora, Owakudani then the pirate ship was our tour. It was very nice and nostalgic to see it again in your videos. Thank you. Besides your hotel and train cancellation I think you had a great and beautiful tour. 😉 Keep walking Rion!
Thank you for taking us on your journey, you stayed positive despite all the hiccups along the way which was really amazing! Edit: * Happy belated birthday~~~
Happy Birthday🎉 Your positive attitude inspite of the hotel and train incidents is so admirable. So glad that things all turned out well and you got to enjoy a great day.
Thanks for sharing with us how you celebrated your birthday. Even if things went wrong, you still make things better with your positive attitude. On the bright side, you get to see Mt Fuji with a clear view. Happy Birthday once again :)
Hi, happy birthday Rion🎉. Your trip in Hakone had its ups and downs but overall very interesting. The gondola trips were really scary for me and I wasn’t even riding it. You also were lucky to see Mt Fuji which I thought was exciting. I really enjoy watching your videos and learn so much about these locations. So enjoy your birthday and look forward to many more travels😊
Happy Birthday! I've been on that cable car! Although no view of Fuji as usual. This was back in 2005, the volcano area seems much nicer now than back then, but there was also that eruption a few years ago.
Rion, happy birthday! My wife and I have been watching your videos. However, this video is the most intriguing because we did the same last year where our train was cancelled from gotamba to shinjuku. We ended up at matsuda, transferred to odakyu kine and took local train to shinjuku.
Happy Birthday 🎂🥳 Rion! You did great on the skyline ropeway. Just keep looking straight forward when you get anxious about the heights. It helps to calm down and focus. I do it too. I'm afraid of heights as well.
Finallyyy! you went to Gotenba Premium Outlet where I spent thousand of yens to buy Sanrio souvenirs back for all my Sanrio fan friends! Love the Mt Fuji view there too. My next challenge, to eat all the Takoyaki I find in Osaka next year.
hello Rion. watching here from the Philippines. We always watch your videos to get some tips before going to Japan. It really helps a lot. Continue to make some videos its really amazing. sugoi
Tried smoke egg vs black egg prefers smoke egg as it has a soya and smoked taste 😄 The 2nd room is so nice, love the view! I think Fuji san likes you loads, he is smiling at you everywhere on the mountain 🥰 Btw, love your optimistic even though things go wrong, you are maintaining a good calm state of mind 👍Keep your video coming Rion.
What a day-from kanpai with the majestic Mount Fuji 🍻 (I’ll never get tired of this view 🤩) to a sudden stressful situation back to Shinjuku (as one who is less familiar with the transportation system and much less competent with the language, I’d totally panic 😖). This reminds me of one of your favorite quotes-I smile not because I’m happy; I’m happy because I smile 😊 No matter what high highs or low lows are coming up in this next year, let’s keep walking… and smiling!
All those unexpected events made really good video content and you express your feelings so well that we can feel with you. Excellent photography as usual. That was so bad for that expensive hotel to give that room to you in that disgusting uncleaned condition.
Happy Birthday 🎉❤ Glad to see that you got home safely. The lake was beautiful and it sorta reminded me of Lake George in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. 🎂🥳
- Happy Birthday, Rion. 25:59 The right pronunciation Lacoste’ in French is Lah-COss-tah. Most Americans pronounce it Lah-Coss, which is wrong too. Sorry for being pedantic.
Rion, never use a hotel/public usb wall port. They can be easily tampered with by hackers, then you are plugging your device directly into it; giving direct access to the device. Always use a wall plug adapter.
You should have taken the bus from Gotemba going straight to Shinjuku. That's the route we took going back to Tokyo. Although I don't know which one is cheaper. Looks like what you took was a very cheap ride. Might do it the next time we visit Gotemba.
Happy Birthday, Rion-chan 💝🎂🎉. Glad they did change your room, would have been a bad start to your birthday 🎂 🎂 (yea I know things are going to go wrong, but I haven't watched that far yet).
Dude is celebrating Bday by himself and paying a meal set for ¥2,500 still saying it expensive. I like his videos, and subscribed, but sometimes his antiques on being “cheap” really amaze me! 😂 “Maybe next time…” Happy Birthday Rion! Hope you always healthy and successful 👍🏼
Merry Otanjobi Rion....Sorry for the mishaps but I think it made content. haha.....in the end, you smile and memories are made. Most of the time, it all works out. Gambatte ne...miteru yo~
Hi Rion i am watching this video now and 遅ればせながらお誕生日おめでとうございます🎉🎉😂😂😂..also thank you for showing these as I have not been to this part of Hakone yet😂😊..oh the train to Hakone n bk to Shinjuku always cancel..i had that experienced😅 before
Despite being bullied by Hakone, Rion can still smile. He's my hero!

Happy birthday, Rion! You had good adventures today and a good attitude, as always.
箱根旅行後編ありがとうございました！なんか、ラストに衝撃の惨事で驚きました。誕生日だったのに😭でもそんな日もあるでしょう、ドンマイです👍ロープウェイ🚡からの景色が絶景でした、ちなみに秋の紅葉🍁の時期もめっちゃキレイです、もう一回乗らないとね😂！黒卵一個で7年寿命が延びるそうです🥚電車キャンセルだったけど在来線で大自然の景色に癒された事と思います🌳✨無事新宿に到着出来て良かったです🚈👍ありがとうございました！
Happy Birthday, Rion! There were some bumps along the way, but it still looks like you had a great trip.
Hakone looks amazing. 🤩 There were so many beautiful views of Mt Fuji in this video too! 🏔️

Happy B'day mate!
Thanks for the tip on the travel razor! I've another brand that's a single foil, it just doesn't work. This looks good
First! Awesome video rion!
Have you watched the vid? Even in the intro it's obvious that Rion is not happy in this vid.
Arigatooo for your expectation for the video and First Comment ^^
@@YosuaNangin I understand why tho
i like the music you were playing when eating the steak and garlic rice, looks good
Finallyyy! you went to Gotenba Premium Outlet where I spent thousand of yens to buy Sanrio souvenirs back for all my Sanrio fan friends! Love the Mt Fuji view there too. My next challenge, to eat all the Takoyaki I find in Osaka next year.
Happiest Birthday Rion Ishida! Keep sharing your adventures!
Yes, Gotenba Premium Outlet has massive discounts for watches there, was tempted when I was there last summer 😂

Happy birthday, Rion! 🎉🥳🎂

You should have taken the bus from Gotemba going straight to Shinjuku. That's the route we took going back to Tokyo. Although I don't know which one is cheaper. Looks like what you took was a very cheap ride. Might do it the next time we visit Gotemba.

39:13 those guys at the back tho 🤣
Happy birthday Rion! And many more🎉 kanpai 🍻
Happy birthday dear Rion🎉
Outlets are regular price.
Items are cheaper because they are specifically made for Outlets by the same brands but with cheaper materials.
I see....🤯
Dude is celebrating Bday by himself and paying a meal set for ¥2,500 still saying it expensive.
I like his videos, and subscribed, but sometimes his antiques on being “cheap” really amaze me! 😂
“Maybe next time…”
Happy Birthday Rion! Hope you always healthy and successful 👍🏼
It was expensive. Prices just shooting up everywhere. So I understand
🤣👍LOL
Happy birthday! 🎉May all your wishes come through 🎉🎊🎂🍾
Scrumptious breakfast. Enjoy Rion.😊. Happy birthday🎉
Somen live stream sounds fun! The machine is such a unique idea 💡
Please post a video of you just going on trains and maybe go to the tama doubutsuen
Happy Birthday Rion
Happy birthday 🎉 love the positive energy 🙌

Happy Birthday! Love your trip and mt. Fuji!
Rion, thank you for sharing, can wait travel to Japan in few months as 🙂🙂
I'm sorry your birthday didn't go as planned. Glad you still had a good time. Happy late birthday!!
In 2009 we climbed up the Owakudani area to the hut on the top and bought the eggs there. Each egg is supposed to add 7 years to your life.
Happy birthday!!! Keep watching your journeys!!!
Merry Otanjobi Rion....Sorry for the mishaps but I think it made content. haha.....in the end, you smile and memories are made. Most of the time, it all works out. Gambatte ne...miteru yo~
awesome hotel!
I stayed over at Hotel Green Plaza last time, maybe I could consider this next!
Next time if you revisit, you can definitely try the Owakudani curry at the station, it's actually very good especially with the fried minced beef
Hi Rion i am watching this video now and 遅ればせながらお誕生日おめでとうございます🎉🎉😂😂😂..also thank you for showing these as I have not been to this part of Hakone yet😂😊..oh the train to Hakone n bk to Shinjuku always cancel..i had that experienced😅 before
