Kawaguchiko: Day 1 (河口湖: 1日目) | Yamanashi, Japan | October 2023

Hello fellow ticket holders. Join us for our first day around the base of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi as we explore the area around Kawaguchiko Station (河口湖駅). In this video we start our morning off with a fantastic view of Mount Fuji from our room at the Toyoko Inn Fujisan Otsuki-eki (東横INN富士山大月駅) as well as a surprisingly delicious free breakfast buffet from the hotel as well. With our hearts and stomachs full, we made our way to Otsuki Station (大月駅) where we catch the local train to Kawaguchiko Station (河口湖駅). After a delayed but successful train ride, we had lunch at KoKuaのからあげ スパムおにぎり, a local karaage chicken and spam musubi restaurant. Next, we had a look around the stores and shops near the Kawaguchiko Station, had a second coffee and just a relaxing time before checking in to our AirBnB accomadations. Once checked into our AirBnB, and evening had come, it was dinner time. For dinner we had a local noodle dish called Hoto Noodles from Hotou Fudo Kawaguchiko Station (ほうとう不動 河口湖駅前店). Finally, as the day came to an end, we grabbed and enjoyed our evening ice cream and snacks from the local Family Mart.

Don't get me wrong, your hotel breakfast looked terrific - but lunch at KoKua looked *_incredible_* 🤤 I am a sucker for spicy chicken no matter where it originates, but the chicken at this particular spot looked so fresh and juicy in your video! So sweet of the owner to give you all a little present, too. Kawaguchiko and the surrounding areas are absolutely beautiful, the architecture reminds me a lot of the urban environments in Demon Slayer. And speaking of demons... 09:00 I am electing to call this a 'child of the corn' lolol Good on you both for taking a mental health break when your physical health started to wane. More important that you get some rest and enjoy your trip than it is that you document every last second of it. 😊 We approve! Love your Mt. Fuji squish-mellow, too haha great video, guys! ✨

oh my goodness that chicken was amazing! 🤤 Being in Kawaguchiko was one of the best parts of the trip, and is very beautiful. More of it to show in the upcoming video. We are glad we had some wiggle room and plans that could easily be changed / canceled on the fly to give us the rest time we needed. But at the same time, it did give us the opportunity to see this area of the town and have that amazing lunch. Thanks for watching. -Chad 😀
