I can't explain it properly enough to tell you guys how much I love your videos, and how much they've helped me. It's always been a dream of mine to see places that no one in my family could even dream of going to. And although I'm too young to start doing that kind of traveling, seeing the videos you two put up always inspires me when I start to think that I'll never get to travel :)
Nice to have another great trip together with u guys! Please keep on placing your vids!
So I counted the cars waiting in the line. I may be wrong but there were 115 cars plus 2 buses before the line breaks. One visible side had 7~ish cars and the other line had 53 cars until the video gets cut. After that, the video still showed 17 more cars and one bus. So that gives a total of at least 192 cars. Even if every car had to wait 1min to come in, the last car would have to wait at least 3h20mins. Ouch :P
living vicariously through others. the story of my meager existence. Please keep the videos coming.
This was the first video I ever watched of you guys when I first started researching for my trip to japan this April, and then I was hooked! I've watched your entire RTW trip and all of your adventures in Japan videos (currently working on the vietnam ones). :P Just revisited this one again to refresh my memory on the fuji 5 lakes area since I'm planning on visiting there. :) I always love all the insight you both give on your adventures!
+Naviielle Wonderful to hear you are using our videos for planning research! I love hearing that! Happy you have enjoyed videos in different places sometimes, we love exploring places that are unknown to us sometimes, it's so rejuvenating! Thanks for the kind words! -E
Once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH for another awesome video.
Watching your videos always puts a smile on my face.
You guys are like perfectly made for each other, normal bumps on the road off camera and all, you guys still give off that feeling of a perfect match :)
Hahaha, thanks! -Eric
Your videos are the only ones that I can watch for an hour without getting bored! Thank you for sharing your adventures :)
Thinking about moving to Japan in a few years :) Everything I've seen and heard about Japan is awesome :)
New video!!! Thanks guys for 1h of this!
I love when you meet random awesome nice people on your adventures. Thank you for making this video.
What a perfect pair! Thanks again!
Lovely like always! Keep em coming!
You guys inspired me to travel and maybe even live in japan some day, you guys are the best :)
Excellent video once again. I don't know if it is me, but I wonder if other viewers feel that they are drawn into the whole adventure. It feels to me like we are your travellng companions, dipping our toes into freezing cold water and shivering alongside you guys. It's amazing to think that your efforts are not professional productions. I mean that in a nice way. I have seen travel programmes on TV which cannot compete with your videos and they are professionally produced. Keep the vids coming!
I'm heading to Hakone in a couple of months. Your video has made me even more excited about it. Thanks!!
Yay!
Woohoo! New video! I'm so excited.
I really enjoyed that. Thanks for uploading!
Thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed! -E
Great video.
Nice funfacts too! I can't believe how long the line for the black egg was. Unbelieveble.
This is the video that got me addicted to your channel!!! Love it!!!
The sulphur gas part made me LOL!
Awesome, thank you! -Eric
I love these long vids there great ,
@38:05 Eric in the background just looking out of the box LOL, terrific!
Was thinking of traveling back to Japan in a couple of years, found your video as I was looking for paragliding Mt. Fuji. Now I am defiantly spending my year off in Japan. Sweet videos. I will be checking out more. :)
Gethin Jenkins Paragliding Mt Fuji? Is that a thing? That'd be awesome. Enjoy your future time in Japan! -Eric
thanks for the great video, it really helped me get a good understanding of the sort of views I can expect at each of the five lakes and hakone.
Awesome, have fun on your trip! -Eric
We are so glad to hear this! -Kyde
Kyde takes a lick of the egg ice cream and says the flavor is just on the tip of her tongue--it is LITERALLY on the tip of her tongue!
Ahh. I love you guys so much. :3 Your videos make me happy.
I love you guys !
Stellar. This drives me to make this happen.
Another awesome and informative video by you two, thoroughly enjoyed!
Ignore the nay sayers about 7Eleven food runs. When you are travelling convenience is what counts.
And food in 7Eleven looks better in nutrition then fast food we get in the west.
You guys deserve a sponsorship from 7Eleven and Japanese tourism board.
I found your video more detail & informative about locations and with travel tips then most tourist promo.
Keep up the good work!
PS. they were drift racing in Hakone at night :)
hahah so many good one liners Eric! "You look like a kid that wore helmets". The porn star deck comment was pretty damn funny too. You guys seriously are so much fun to watch and learn from. Thankyou so much for taking your time to show us dreamers what it's like to truly be free out there. I'm from Winchester,VA so hearing you guys are from fredricksburg is so cool! Representin' us Virginians out there! Stay safe and keep up the awesome work! I'll donate what I can!
mrBcomplete VA!! Our brethren! Glad you enjoy the videos. If we can make a fellow Virginian smile, we've done a good job! -Kyde
Thanks for the great video. Now I know Mt Fuji.
Awesome! -Eric
Lol I liked this week's Sakurajima video so much I decided I wanted to come back and watch all of your guys' volcano & mountain Japan road trip videos ( *Edit* Again, I meant to add) XD ^_^
i love this one among all your vlog.
You are best couple if you ask me.
nowgaku Thank you so much! -Eric
This is one of my favorite videos you've posted so far. The ending title, with the sound of what I assumed to be the "box" door opening was really neat, and I can't explain why. It was just really fitting.
I was on a tour up to Hakone, I forgot which stop we got off the Shinkansen from, but we took a tour bus up there. I say we say in traffic for nearly 3 hours, of course it wasn't to bad because, when your on a tour bus and you don't know it going to take 3 hours, you just watch the scenery and the time flies by.
I really love all your comments here! Thanks! -Kyde
We were so surprised!
Hooray!!
Awesome!
At 30:57 a butterfly enters the screen and flies in a corkscrew pattern toward Kyde. That was kind of magical.
Eric the polar bear!! Lol What a fun trip you two. Luv your videos!!!
Fun fact! (I just learned this from a swedish podcast haha): Viking (or biking as japanese often spell/pronounce it) comes from a Japanese hotel restaurant where the owners went to Sweden and where fascinated with the Swedish smorgasbord and wanted to bring the concept to Japan. But since the name was too complicated they just ended up calling it something different that still connects to Sweden: Viking!
+aiklund Haha, yea. "Buffet" sounds weird in Japanese too. They have a Japanese word that means vaguely the same thing: 食べ放題
Thanks for explaining!
We will!
That's awesome to hear! If you set your mind to it traveling is something you should be able to do. It's easier than it looks, I promise! -Eric
Awesome long video. Looks so beautiful ! My wife and I went to Beppu once and I can remember that sulfuric smell halting me from eating any eggs lol.
You two are awesome,love ur videos,greetings from mexico :D
javier torres Thanks! -Eric
Love right back at you! Hope to see you somewhere in the world! -Kyde
Love all your videos. Thanks!! Wondering how difficult it is to drive in Japan regarding understanding rental agreements and reading the road signs? Also wanted to know if you ever encounter any snakes with all the hiking you both do??
Barbara Bartram Driving here is pretty easy. People here are super cautious drivers, and most of the signs are either super logical by their shape or have English on them. It takes some time getting used to driving on the left side of the road though, if you are from a right-side country. We never have come across any snakes...thankfully. -Eric
Thanks for the info!
yay long video!
Awesome adventures as usual ;)
Nice video!! The blue\green thing is funny! And those black eggs hahaha i really wanna try that once! Thank's for this nice video!!
We are currently using a Sony DSC-HX20V!
Yeah! -Kyde
You both are AWESOME! Yay! I'm planning on going to Japan this coming new year and was wondering on transportation methods. How much is it to rent a car there? And maybe how much was it to rent the type you used for the trip, a.k.a "box"? Hahahaha! Cute~ Take care you two! And thanks for the awesome videos.
Yea, that was fun!
Hey what camera do you guys use? I'm going to start up my own page and I'm looking to buy something...and I really like the quality of your videos!
That cave is a former lava tube that is emptied once the eruption is over. It is called Viking because that is a smorgasbord, buffet, and that is the japanese slang for that. The sulfur bonds to the dew and settles at ground level, then burns off at dawn. The green-blue thing is that there wasn't a word for green. Those two colors were called the same thing., when westerners came it changed There has been a Frieches Big Boy in my home town for decades. It used to be a drive-in.
Driving on the other side is pretty easy. I just forget to use the other hand for the signal and turn on the windshield wipers a good bit! The driving test is known to be very difficult, but I passed it the first time!
What camera settings/ software rendering settings do you guys use???
The word 青 is used for blue or green or shades in between. It's the color of the sea.
I think it's because in old Japan colour theory held that blue was just another shade of green. Meaning that blue and green became synonymous with each other.
I was thinking something similar. At some point I questioned what would be the result if kyde and eric had made an introduction for the video which had been recorded after the adventure. I realized that it would totally destroy the sensation of it. The feeling of 'going along' is just epic in these videos. Feeling that is always destroyed when the professionals say the words "COMING UP..."
Yeah! We were in Zama!
We did make curtains for my car back home, but we didn't have time to do that for this van!
Enjoying your videos guys. Have you guys tried using some kind of off line android navigation map system to get around? or know or heard of other people using same to assist in finding local highlights and directions? appears to be 34:51 (M:S) dragon fruit.
yup
Home of Bob's Big Boy .... California. My sweetie was so happy to see that!!!
Not yet!
Regarding the distinction between blue and green, the Chinese language similarly groups green and blue (I've studied Chinese and Japanese and lived for awhile in China). It's interesting to note that not all cultures and languages distinguish colors along identical lines. Wikipedia has an informative article about color distinction: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinction_of_blue_and_green_in_various_languages
Nice
If you do, we'll be watching them!!
Great video, how much did it cost to rent the Box?
The blue and green thing also exist in Cambodia. Although I haven't seen in text, I've heard it in conversation.
god, your videos are so sweet. i really wish i can be just like you two, travel around, make a video out of it, your life is so much fun~
OK, Thanks for the reply.
I have no internet where i live now. so i drove 45 mins to a place that did and downloaded this episode so i can watch it at home with some sushi. 1.5 gigabytes. lol
That's a gloriously nice review of our videos! I'm not sure how we are capturing that either, we certainly are just winging it, haha. -Eric
Nice audio editing during the sped-up footage.
I'm Vietnamese and we use the same word for both blue and green also.
Love the video. Glad to see them on a regular basis. I think the Viking name for the "all you can eat" is too difficult for Japanese - Smorgasbord
Are people allowed to go in?
Looks like your van features a MiniDisk player just beneath the radio. They still use those things in Japan right? Kind of the Japanese equivalent to the eight-track cassette ;) Of course more advanced than the eight-track. ^^
GANGSTA!!! -Kyde
Awesome! We are way too lazy to go to the effort of making "Coming up" videos, so this works out great! -Eric
You didn't fix kind of curtain or something like that at windows? Many people do sleep in cars at night when going to travel but a bit worried about privacy and security stuff.
Always good to see you guys having fun on road trip though :)
How was it driving on the opposing side to American vehicles? Was getting the drivers license easy?
LOVE YOU GUYS! I WISH I COULD MEET YOU SOMEDAY!
An hour! Yeahhh gurrrl!
"fart science" lololol. one of your best videos, really enjoyed it.
You were right, Eric. Japanese used to have only white, red, blue and black. They just used blue for green :D Good guess!
Have you guys been down here in Okinawa yet?
Have you been to the Kawachi Fuji Garden?
In different languages and such they don't usually have two words for blue and green like English... To them blue and green is just a different shade of the same color so that's why they call it blue~
Where and how did you rent the car? Was it expensive? :)
We rented it from Toyota Rent-a-car I think. There are lots of car rental places in Japan. It was really cheap, actually, but we got some sort of deal through our company who has an account with the rental place. No idea what things usually cost. -Eric
Ah okay, thank you so much! Your video inspired me and my boyfriend to try to rent a car as well, so thanks :D Really liked the video!
SheWhoLovesJapan
Awesome. Do beware: Driving in Japan isn't a perfect solution. Parking is expensive, gas is expensive and tolls on the highway are absurdly expensive. Often trains are a much better solution for traveling, especially if you will be in cities. If you are just going to be here for a few weeks I'd strongly suggest looking into a JR Pass. -Eric
We have an offline map program (rmaps), but I don't think an offline navigation program exists. Like, if you make a wrong turn or something nothing can re-update your route without an internet connection. -Eric
@ 34:06 Corn is actually a grain, not a vegetable! And what's more, I found a page on Yahoo (can't post the link of course) that says that it's more correct to call corn a "fruit" than a "vegetable" (though "grain" is even more accurate). If you search you can probably find the page without trouble.
What is Geo cashing? I don't even know if I'm saying it right! Love this video!
angie hines anjhines@yahoo.com It's like a global easter egg hunt! www.geocaching.com
This was a really nice trip vlog! Otsukare sama! By the way, maybe you looked it out but that was a Dragon fruit not passion fruit.. X)
