Hakone Trip Saving Money Tips. Great Buffet, Best View, However Had Worst Experience... Ep.496

[MUSIC]

there's something on the floor.

I don't know.

this area smells like restroom.

Hey guys! Good morning, everyone!

today, we are in Shinjuku Station,
heading to Hakone.

since it's a morning time on the weekday,
there are much fewer people in Shinjuku.

In the afternoon time, it will be
more and more people here though.

firstly let me show you guys how to get to odak q line

we are at East exit it's a little bit far from here

a the Q lines entrance is in the west part of shinuk Cur

it is one of the easiest and the fastest way to go to hakone

if you are heading to hakone from Tokyo,

I recommend to use the aak line.

so this is the way to go.

basically you just need to follow this blue sign.

shinuk station is a complicated station

but there is a clear sign

so maybe you can find it easily

and here we go

this is the entrance of this station

we need to use the special rapid train,
going to the hakone from Shinjuku

and I just reserved the ticket

this emot the pass is the easiest way to go.

I can just simply scan the code over here and we can go

so hakon 7 that's a train we got to take

leaving from truck number two

so here limited Express Lan car

that's a good name huh

seems like there are many TR heading to hakon 2

so basically you need to pay extra.

if you don't have the internet access,
you can buy it here as well.

Express ticket cost 1,200 Japanese additional

you have to pay train fair

so all together it cost about 2,400 Japanese G

but today I got the this hakone free pass,

which include the shinuk station to hakone OT Station train ticket

so I just had to pay for the express fee

all right here we go.

seems like train has arrived

it's my first time to use it it's a big train with a big window

wow nice

actually the seats are turning automatically

nice

it becomes more and more people now

so it's car number four

but seems like door hasn't open yet

so we got enter from the car number five

it's okay

that's so crowded here

so must be here

sweet

oh yeah here's my seed

oh yeah it's moving

so one thing we have to be careful is that

this train it's all reserved to seed

so if you want to ride this train,

make sure to reserve the seat before you ride on

otherwise you can't ride on

this from shinuk station to hakon Yoto station

it only takes 90 minutes

if you use the train it is really fast

so this is how the seat looks like

the seed is much bigger compared to the no machine G

there is a plenty space in front of me

and there is a table on your right hand

so if you want to eat station Bento or something

you can eat over here

and the reclining bottom over here

but seems like there is a no power outlet

so you know if you want to charge the battery or something

you can't charge it here

you just need to bring the mobile battery

let's explore the train a little bit

so there are six cars one vending machines

and and two restrooms

seems like this is the restroom one

and one big one over here

it seems pretty clean.

also there is a place to wash your hand and the face.

oh by the way...

hey guys welcome back to R TV

I'm Ryan s

please don't forget to check my Instagram T

let's go check the vending machine too.

so we have the small vending machine like this

there's a water tea apple juice and coffee

it's pretty simple but price is a regular price though

and there is a space that you can place the big luggage

and it seems like this is the bar

but uh I don't think it's working today though

maybe they are using it in the weekend or something

I don't know

since there are so many International Travelers here

I feel like that I'm not in Japan

but it's my very first time to P Aon

so I'm really excited

we got a nice hotel too

so let's keep looking

by the way, it's mid of June
in Tokyo, 26°C. Wind is 3 m/s.

however hakone will be on the mountain, so it will be cooler

let's see how the temperature looks like

uh lady from here we can see M fi beautifully sweet

all right sweet finally we arrived to hakone Yoto station

oh my goodness so many people here

STI in hako station there's a coin lockers

but seems like it's all used

however there's a backage delivery service too

our first destination it's hakone Shrine

but hopefully we can eat lunch in here though

if you have a hakone pass QR code you just need to scan here

so we need to take a bus from there

but beforehand let's explore the hakot station

there is a souvenir shops and restaurant street over there

that's what I heard

by the way there are coin lockers outside too

however it's in the weekend.

probably you can't find the place though

oh here seems like there are many shops and the restaurants

so let's find the restaurant

hak is located almost top of the mountain

so if we get there probably it's hard to find the restaurant

so we better eat it here

that's what the station St me

so let's find a place to eat

uh ice cream looks good but I'm hungry

dango at the M shops at a sa

and the custom place pric is about 1,5 00 to 2,000 Japanese y

yeah that's a touristic Place price

oh how about here?

oong 1,500 and tendong 2,500

huh according to my experience,

if we go far and the far from the station,

the price will be cheaper and the cheaper

so let's see H in the backx TR

Hamburg steak 1,500 steak 2,000 Japanese

that sounds not bad nether huh

cat carry 2,000 that's a teristic price

wow that's a nice spot beautiful scenery

how about this backx TR at a Ramen Shop

but seems like it's closed

and the monak

and I guess that's it here

oh here the Hamburg sck 1,250 japanes

and that sounds not bad

seems like this restaurant looks nice and local

also the price is reasonable too

why not let's eat it here

hopefully it's not crowded though

so those are the price Hamburg 1,250 Japanese Y

and the fried rice it's about 890 to 930

here we go

fried rice arrive

thinking of place and the price that's pretty good huh

sweet

it the price is 890 Japanese

that was pretty good

to be honest it took a while to get the food

and food quality was not best of the best

however it was run by grandpa and grandma

and they were really rry as well

because it took a while to serve the food

they plac it the little broccoli and the corn and the salad on the house

because they old took a while to save the food

sorry that's what they were saying.

and I was like no no no please don't mind.

anyways it was a nice local atmosphere restaurants

and the price is good too.

if you want to enjoy the local retro atmosphere,

maybe you can visit there.

all right now let's take a bus to go to the sh

but beforehand I want to go to the restroom

so let's go back to the station.

the bus stop is right next to the station.

all right let's go to the bus stop.

it must be over there.

our bus supposed to leing in 3 minutes

so still we have time.

so bus number two that must be the one.

it takes about 40 minutes.

we need to take off the bus over here Moto hako

all right let's go

so we are going up in the up
in the mountain, so not really comfy.

but you know it's much better than work

by the way those are the best stuff that we passed

to going to the mot hako

that's a long way to go huh

so finally we arrived

and oh my goodness that's a huge t the bus

cost 130 Japanese y for one way

but since we have the hakun free pass it's free.

oh you see that pirate ship?

we will ride that later going to the hotel

seems like there are many restaurants and the shop over here

cdon is about 2,000 Japanese

so it's kind of like similar price.

the tendon is also 2,000 japanes and too.

wait maybe before we go there,

we better ask if we need to make a reservation

going to the pirate ship

so let me ask first

so I just asked and he told me that

basically we don't need to make the reservation

for riding on the regular seat

so I think should be fine.

I'm planning to ride on the special seat, which is the first class

it might be sold out.

however he also told me that it should be fine on the weekday

so it should be fine.

yeah supposed to be.

anyways let's keep walking to the hak it's the as

oh my goodness what a peaceful atmosphere

we can write the dark up to three people 1,500 Japanese

all right let's keep walking to the shrine

uh it's omor I Curry including salad 1,200 Japanese no h

speaking of the bus it was kind of you know rough street

so if you have a motion sickness,

probably you will have a hard time.

however for me it was all good.

but one thing it happens you know,

because it was a long ride right

and I was sitting over there.

I think someone was fart

and it has a really strong smell

but you know in Japan so no one react to it

but again it was so strong smell

so it was kind of funny

and I was like try to not to laugh like

so maybe some people told that I'm har

so it was kind of awkward

because people think that I fart

so my small advice to you:

if you are traveling bus in Japan

and then if you smell of the fart

try not to laugh

because people might think you are the one who fart

so watch out

anyways let's keep fcking

all right hopefully we almost there hopefully

by the way small Japanese lesson:

Lake in Japanese called mizi M

oh there's a SAA restaurant cash only

all right since like we arrived to the entrance

wow nice atmosphere

still we got keep walking

but this place much easier to walk

because it's much cooler

oh so finally we arrived to the main part

oh my goodness it's stunning

they always try to build a shrine in higher place

because it's closer to the heaven

because of that it's hard to visit the shrine

however always it's beautiful with the natures.

and this is the main hall

I believe this rine built in

757 it has the over

1,260 years history many Samurai who

create the Japan's era and history came

over here to

play there is a national flower symbol

of Japan chran over there too so that's

one the popular spot over here actually

you can drink the water and you can

bring back to the home well I just got

the water so maybe next time

though after going down the stairs there

is one of the most popular photo spot

he over there so must be this is the

way oh yeah that must be the place okay

seems like there's a long line you know

we are not in hurry why not let's be in

line so for people who makes

Line This is the way so we will make

line from

here probably it's much better compared

to the weekend but let's time it how

long it will take so that's the center

of the line over there so must be less

than 20 minutes or even 15 I don't know

let's see

wait it's about 5 minutes past but still

we here it might take longer than what I

thought let me see all right so another

5 minutes passed and we are here another

10 minutes passed but seems like we

almost

there maybe 10 more minutes and now it's

30 minutes passed almost there yes

almost all right finally we are here it

takes about 36 minutes wow how yeah I

don't want to bother other people much

so I need to finish it quick sweet I

love

it finally and now seems like lying gets

longer I believe not that many people

expecting waiting 30 to 40 minutes from

there

though it was so funny because everyone

was you know duck go away duck go away

but duck was you know taking a photo of

us

so they never moves and my photo becomes

like this that's okay one another

interesting was that while I was waiting

there was a kids since she had to wait

for a long time too she kind of got

bored so she was making something on the

ground and I asked her what it is I

thought it's a pancake or something but

she told me it's a pizza and then I was

like oh that's interesting and then she

asked me take a guess what's next and

then I said oh I have no idea maybe it's

a pepperoni and then she said no it's a

Tabasco and I was like very interesting

because in Japan usually the kids makes

on rice bowl or you know cup of rice or

Misa soup it's my first time to see the

kids making pizza and a Tabasco it was a

very nice interesting culture different

moment so I love it now

let's go to the pirate ship place we

still have 45 minutes until the

departure so should be fine we got all

the way

down and we will take the next one that

one leaving

now all right so we came back you can

enjoy the season so it cost 1,200

Japanese for adult but if you have the

hakon pass it will be free but also they

have the first class sh at well if you

add 700 Japanese Yen for the hakone pass

or 800 Japanese Y for the regular pass

you can upgrade the ticket and I just

upgraded so we will go for the first

class

hias we still have 30 minutes until the

boarding time so let's get the ice cream

ah look at this

kimon that sounds good price is 398

Japan that's a little bit expensive but

why not oh and also I'd better get the

snack for tonight as

well all

right let's see outside oh my goodness

this must be good by the way it's a

little bit shiny but this is the only

place that I could find you know I need

to find a place that I can place the Cs

this ice cream Mona must be pretty

fluffy nice flavor of milk with the

sweet ribbing paste it's perfect in the

summer time so it's coffee

to in the shade much better but the

lighting is not that great though but

it's

okay oh there is the Evangelion Club bus

this hakon is a model place of the

evangelium so there are many Evangelion

staff over here oh seems like there are

many people already waiting but today we

ride on the first class so this is the

line we have a priority entrance sweet

so that must be the pirate ship that we

are riding on that front area will be

the first class seat so if you to stand

in

front you need to get the first class

ticket all right let's go so this must

be the place let's go up and good find a

good seat huh that looks pretty

fancy hopefully we still have a seat in

front oh it's light let's go higher

place so I guess this would be the

nicest seat so that we can see the

shrine while we are heading to the toen

dce station oh my goodness in a lot it

it's pretty high I I don't want to get

closer on second floor and

back never mind maybe we can stop here

all right finally moving let's

go yep that's a shine we just the follow

over there

maybe they are like now you know go away

go away the ship since like there are so

many people still

making yep it is scary yeah I already so

let's go explore the area so basically

this is the area for the first class and

those are the areas for the regular

ticket let's see what's special here

there is a

table and

also we can see out side from here

to how about

inside of the

ship huh it looks pretty fancy and

there's a birthday

seat you know tomorrow is my birthday so

this as for me today well supposed to be

tomorrow but you know it's

okay so there is a map seems like we are

almost halfway there

there is a nice seat in

front this place there is a AC so you

can see outside peacefully the seat on

the side there is a table so you can

place a drink and you can watch the

outside oh there is a cafe too nice and

from here it will be the regular seat oh

there's a elevator too so must be nice

for the people who has the wheelchair

how about

upstairs

so I think it's pretty similar if you

want to see the view of the

backside this reg right seat will be

better there is a seat outside as

well and also we can go up

higher that's a pretty good view from

here too

it's a little bit crowded but I think

it's pretty nice uh that's another

popular spot in hakone K Shrine but it

is hard to visit so maybe we can visit

there next time so that's it we 700

Japanese for the first class well I

don't know for the week day but if you

want to enjoy the kind of luxury

atmosphere it would be good but in the

week and probably there will be so many

people because in the regular seats are

a little bit crowded so if you just

don't want to you know Be In Crowd much

probably you can get the this first

class ticket but you know if you had the

700 Japanese Yen you could buy the two

that funy Mona ice cream too so yeah

always there's

option so finally we arrived to the toen

D Port our hotel must be there so let's

keep fing oh look at that pirate

the pirate ship has the real pirates I

think that ship is

better so this is the station of hakon

walkway we will use it tomorrow there is

a restaurant but seems like it's already

closed

though uh that's Evangelion collab stuff

[Music]

really cool huh do they have a special G

phone H pins I don't think that's

something special because I saw it in

the souvenir shop too so maybe next time

I'm afraid of the high place but

tomorrow we are heading to this Oak Dan

by the

rway they have the onen egg and we can

see the beautiful Mount Fuji too so

please look forward to it ropeway cost

1,500 Japanese for one ride but if you

have the hakon free pass it will be free

so that's a ropeway I assume it's not

that scary because it's a big one and

today's Hotel must be that one over

there oh that must be the entrance so

from the station it's pretty close

hanoli Yep this is the

one

welcome today's Hotel plan includes the

dinner and also the breakfast I think

it's pretty small one but we have the on

in the room too sweet it's always great

meeting with you guys are you guys

ready

love thank you today already I could

meet several groups of you guys I love

meeting with you guys if you see me on

the street don't forget to go to me so

that I can realize you are a viewer so

see you in Japan so this must be the

entrance I believe let me see okay seems

like it's a pretty nice hotel let me

checking first so firstly let's go to

check the room it's in the second

floor so there is a Yukata here at the

room

where this one seems like I'm a

178 so

LL yeah this is the only option that we

have that's okay and I want to pick up

the

toothbrush huh seems like it's a pretty

nice

hotel there is a vending machine there

is no comen around here but we can buy a

beer 320 Japanese a bit expensive but no

bad thinking of the place the regular

drink regular price though maybe my

hotel plan was not that fancy plan so we

got go all all the way down that's okay

let's keep

working yep all the way down oh here we

go this must be the place so I can just

touch it and here we go oh sweet so it's

like the house huh there is a air

purifier cup of water and a tea

plus small refrigerator and

also we got the shower room inside

that's pretty clean the water pressure

it's okay but you know thinking about

the place sh and restroom

here it's pretty nice there's something

special over

here yes we got on here sweet but it

seems like it's not working I thought

hot water must be coming up from here

but

uh let me figure it out and also there

is a nice place to relax as well all

right first thing

first and know let's clean up a little

bit

ah oh my goodness psycho you know today

it wasn't that bad but I had a long walk

in the

hakun feels pretty nice so speaking of

the hotel price

this place cost

36,000 Japanese y per night well for me

it is pretty expensive but thinking

about the international Standard Hotel I

think still acceptable huh especially we

have the outside bus well of course it's

really depend on the dinner and the

breakfast quy as well so let's see oh

wait I just realized probably we need

to place a blind like this I otherwise

people from the outside could see

it well for me it's okay but for ladies

just be careful how is it it's a little

bit color for

it again this is the only color

available I think there is a hoop bus so

let's explore the hotel before the

dinner so we can place the phone in the

key over here and let's go well I think

this is too small so it's okay let's

wear the shoes let's go

wow that's a nice

view so in the front lobby there are

place that you can relax and watch the

outside there is a small part over here

it's the welcome drink I think there is

a tea and also coffee oh really there's

a wine as well white wine also it's the

souvenir

shop and we have the hoop B

outside uh we can enjoy the ho look B

over here

and what the

scenery why not let's try white wine

2023 well I think the sunset time is

coming so it will be more and more

people will be here anyways uh come

by to be honest I can't really tell the

taste of the wine up still that's

my well today's sunset time is 700 p.m.

and I booked dinner at 7:30 so I think

we can enjoy until the dinner

[Music]

time I've been here about an hour but

still I it's not that dark yet it's okay

I got Larter too but uh yeah from 7:30

it's dinner time so we got go to the

restaurants by the way I see many people

wearing the you know the darker color

wine this is too light so I want to have

the darker color oh yeah this one over

pocket as well so much convenient so

let's go to the dinner

kind of already

sleepy I can sleep pretty well and then

we got wake up early tomorrow morning

too I got calot to go

to you know since I ate too much I got

used to stairs yeah and probably I'd

better take a walk a little bit I'm just

wondering if we can see the star There's

a Moon over there but uh I don't think

we can see the star maybe this place is

too bright let's take a walk outside

maybe we can see the star how about that

side oh maybe in the

ocean we can see the

stars oh I see maybe because it's cloudy

today so that we can't see the stars I

can see some stairs but not that

much No More Counting dollar will be

counting

stars not today though maybe seems like

today still we need to count

[Music]

dollars seems like the hot water is not

working later but still it is pretty

warm so you know maybe when the water

gets less they will automatic for it I

don't know how it works anyways so

speaking of the hotel today I stay in

the Hana Ori Hotel the dinner buffet was

pretty good so thinking about the price

I think it's pretty good however one sad

thing is that the smell of the room you

know usually this kind of hotel if you

pay this much money

there is a good smell however I don't

know the reason why maybe the room smell

or maybe the seat smell

but it's not that great you know so

that's the only negative thing but

except that I'm pretty satisfied

including the dinner so tomorrow we will

have the break first I'm really excited

too and also we will use the ropeway and

explore the more you know the ballet

area it would be fun if you haven't

video say go have a great day

bye-bye so you know I usually stay in

the business Hotel it cost about you

know 10,000 less than 15,000 at almost

but today since it's my birthday trip I

try to stay in the nicer hotel with the

nicer room and you know what actually I

like it so before I didn't feel like

that I don't want to pay that much for

the hotels but uh yeah maybe in the

future I will also stay in the nicer

Hotel so that I believe you guys can see

the more different kinds of Hotel not

only the upper hotel and it will be more

fun right yeah so I think that's a good

idea anyways let's see yeah I'm pretty

tired today so I think I can sleep like

a baby oh and also today's trip I always

post it on my Instagram account so if

you haven't please don't forget to check

my Instagram account as well all right

so everyone thank you so much for

watching my video always so see you in

the next video oh my goodness I tried to

sleep but this Place smells so

bad especially beside the bed there's

something on the floor too I don't know

this area smells like restroom probably

I'd better make the phone call to the

front and if the room is available I'm

going to ask them to change it's almost

12 a.m. though so I just called to the

front desk and he told me it might be

the sulfur because there's the mountain

beside it but I don't know it smells

like a restroom so let me

see

yeah by the

way happy Birthday to

Me So eventually I got the new room

which seems like it's a biger one and

this place smells much better so

probably I guess that room over there

wasn't cleaned enough much especially

the bed side anyways I feel so bad about

there was pretty good and then very

polite as well so thank you so much for

them uh it's 1:00 a.m. now almost so I

will sleep and I will give you guys the

room tour in the next video so see you

soon in the next

video oh it's going to be a good day
