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 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 Odakyu Line.

We are at East Exit.
It's a little bit far from here.

Odakyu Line's entrance is in
the west part of Shinjuku.

It is one of the easiest and
fastest way to go to Hakone.

If you are heading to Hakone from Tokyo,

I recommend to use the Odakyu Line.

So, this is the way to go.

Basically, you just need to
follow this blue sign.

Shinjuku 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 Hakone from Shinjuku.

And I just reserved the ticket.

This EMot pass is the easiest way to go.

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

So, Hakone 7.
That's the train we got to take.

Leaving from track number 2. So, here.

"Limited Express Romancecar."

Haha, that's a good name, huh.

Seems like there are many travelers
heading to Hakone, too.

So basically, you need to pay extra.

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

Express ticket costs 1,200 Japanese yen.

Additionally, you have to pay train fare.

So, altogether, it costs about
2,400 Japanese yen.

But today, I got this Hakone Free Pass,

which include the Shinjuku Station to
Hakone-Yumoto Station's 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 big window.

Wow... Nice!

Haha...

Actually, the seats are turning
automatically. [CHUCKLES] Nice!

It becomes more and more people now.

So, it's car number 4, but seems
like door hasn't open yet.

So, we gotta enter from the
car number 5. It's okay.

It's so crowded here.

So, must be here...

Sweet.

6D? Oh, yeah. Here's my seat.

Oh, yeah. It start moving.

So, one thing you have
to be careful is that

this train, it's all reserved seat.

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 Shinjuku Station to
Hakone-Yumoto Station,

it only takes 90 minutes
if you use the train.

It is really fast.

So, this is how the seat looks like.

The seat is much bigger compared
to the Nozomi Shinkansen.

There is plenty of 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 it eat over here.

And reclining button over here.

But seems like there is 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 machine.

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 hands and face.

Oh, by the way...

Hey guys!
Welcome back to Rion's TV!

I'm Rion. Seeno... Gao!!

Please don't forget to
check my Instagram, too.

Let's go check the vending machine, too.

So, we have the small
vending machine like this.

There's water, tea,
apple juice, and coffee.

It's pretty simple, but price is
the regular price though.

And there is a space that
you can place the big luggage.

And seems like this is the bar.

But 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 visit Hakone.

So, I'm really excited!

We got a nice hotel, too,
so let's keep walking!

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.

Oh, already from here, we can
see Mount Fuji beautifully.

Sweet!

All right, sweet. Finally, we arrived
to Hakone-Yumoto Station.

Oh my goodness, so many people here!

"Hakone-Yumoto." Sweet!

In Hakone-Yumoto Station,
there's coin lockers.

But seems like it's all used.

However, there's a baggage
delivery service, too.

Our first destination is 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 Hakone-Yumato Station.

There is souvenir shops and
restaurant street over there.

That's what I heard.

By the way, there are
coin lockers outside, too.

However, [if] it's in the weekend,

probably, you can't find the place though.

Oh, here. Seems like there are
many shops and restaurants.

So, let's find a restaurant.

Hakone Shrine is located almost
top of the mountain.

So, if we get there, probably
it's hard to find a restaurant.

So, we'd better eat it here.

That's what the station staff told me,
so let's find a place to eat.

Oh, ice cream looks good, but I'm hungry.

Dango. It's a mochi shop.

It's a soba and katsudon place.

Price is about 1,500 to
2,000 Japanese yen.

Yep, that's a touristic place price.

Oh, how about here?

Oyakudon, 1,500. And tendon, 2,500. Huh...

According to my experience,

if we go far and far from the station,

the price will be cheaper
and cheaper, so...

Let's see.

How about in the backstreet?

Hamburg steak, 1,500.
Steak, 2,000 Japanese yen.

That sounds not bad neither.

Huh... Katsu curry, 2,000.
That's a touristic price.

Wow! That's a nice spot.

Beautiful scenery.

How about this backstreet?

It's a ramen shop, but
seems like it's closed.

And the monjayaki.

And, I guess... That's it here.

Oh, how about here.
The Hamburg streak, 1,250 Japanese yen.

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 yen.

And fried rice, it's about 890 to 930.

Here we go. Fried rice arrived.

Thinking of place and price,
it's pretty good, huh.

Sweet.

Itadakimasu!

The price was 890 Japanese yen.

That was pretty good.

To be honest, it took a while
to get the food.

And the food quality was
not the best of the best.

However, it was run by
grandpa and grandma.

And they were really friendly as well.

Because it took a while to serve the food,

they placed the little broccoli and corn
on the salad on the house.

Because they're old, took a while
to serve 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's restaurant.

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 shrine.

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 leaving
in 3 minutes.

So, still, we have time.

So, bus number 2.
That must be the one.

It takes about 40 minutes.

We need to take off the bus over here.
Motohakone-ko.

All right, let's go.

So, we are going up and up
in the mountain.

Curving, so not really comfy.

But you know, it's much
better than walking.

By the way, those are the
bus stops that we passed

to going to the Motohakone-ko.

It's a long way to go, huh.

So, finally, we arrived!

And oh my goodness, that's a huge torii!

The bus cost 1,030 Japanese yen
for one way.

But since we have the
Hakone 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 shops over here.

Katsudon is about 2,000 Japanese yen.

So, it's kind of like similar price.

The tendon is also
2,000 Japanese yen, too.

Wait, maybe before we go there,

we'd 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
toward to the Hakone Jinja.

It's the Ashinoko (Lake Ashi).

Oh my goodness...
What a peaceful atmosphere.

Haha, we can ride the duck.

Up to three people, 1,500 Japanese yen.
Not bad, huh.

All right, let's keep walking
to the shrine.

Oh, it's omurice curry, including salad,
1,200 Japanese yen. Not bad, huh.

Speaking of the bus, it was kind of,
you know, rough street.

So, if you have 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 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 thought that I fart.

So, it was kind of awkward because
people think that I fart.

So, my small advice to you:

If you are traveling [on the]
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 walking.

All right, hopefully, we're
almost there. Hopefully.

By the way, small Japanese lesson:

"Lake" in Japanese called "mizumi."

Oh, there's a soba restaurant.

[CHUCKLES] Cash only.

All right, seems like we arrived
to the entrance.

Wow... Nice atmosphere.

Still, we gotta 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 shrine built in 757.

It has over 1,260 years history.

Many samurai who created
Japan's era and history

came over here to pray.

There is a national flower
symbol of Japan,

chrysanthemum, 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, Heiwanotorii, 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 are 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 are almost there.

[CHUCKLES]

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... Oh, yeah.

I don't want to bother other people
much, so I need to finish it quick.

Sweeeet! I'm lovin' it!

Finally!

And now, seems like line gets longer.

I believe not that many people expecting

waiting 30 to 40 minutes
from there though.

[LAUGHS]

It was so funny because
everyone was, you know,

"Duck, go away! Duck, go away!"

But duck was, you know,
taking photo of us.

So...

They never move.

And my photo becomes like this:

It's okay.

One another interesting was that
while I was waiting,

there was a kid.

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 Tabasco."

And I was like, "Oh! Very interesting."

Because in Japan, usually,
the kids make onigiri rice ball,

or, you know, cup of rice or miso soup.

It's my first time to see the kids
making pizza and Tabasco.

It was a very nice interesting
culture different moment.

So, I'm lovin' 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.

So, it costs 1,200 Japanese yen for adult.

But if you have the Hakone Pass,
it will be free.

But also, they have the
first class seat as well.

If you add 700 Japanese yen
for the Hakone Pass,

or 800 Japanese yen for the regular pass,

you can upgrade the ticket.

And I just upgraded, so we will
go for the first class.

Hai, arigato gozaimasu!

We still have 30 minutes
until the boarding time.

So, let's get the ice cream.

Oh, look at this kin no azuki monaka.
That sounds good.

Oh, price is 398 Japanese yen.

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 eat 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 cam.

This ice cream monaka must be
pretty fluffy. Itadakimasu!

Nice flavor of milk with the
sweet red bean paste.

It's perfect in the summertime.

So is the coffee, too.

In the shade, much better.

But the lighting is not that
great though, but it's okay.

Oh, there is an Evangelion collab bus.

This Hakone is a model place
of the Evangelion.

So, there are many Evangelion
stuff 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 want 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 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 Togendai Station.

Oh my goodness, you know what?

It is pretty high.

You know, I- I don't want to get closer.

[CHUCKLES]

Never mind. Maybe we can stop here.

All right, finally moving. Let's go!

Yep, that's the shine.
We just took the photo over there.

Haha, maybe they are like,
now, you know,

"Go away, go away, ship!"

Since like there are so many
people still making line.

Yep, it is scary.

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 outside
from here, too.

How about inside of the ship?

Huh, it looks pretty fancy.

And there's a... birthday seat.

[CHUCKLES]

You know, tomorrow is my birthday,
so this seat is for me today.

Well, supposed to be tomorrow,
but you know, it's okay.

Saiko!
(The best!)

So, there is a map.

Seems like we are almost halfway there.

There is a nice seat in front.

This place, there is an 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 café, too. Nice!

And from here, it will be
the regular seat.

Oh, there's an 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 regular seat would 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.

Oh, that's another popular spot
in Hakone, Kuzuryu Shrine.

But it is hard to visit.

So, maybe we can visit there next time.

So, does it worth 700 Japanese yen
for the first class?

Well, I don't know for the weekday.

But if you want to enjoy the
kind of luxury atmosphere,

it would be good.

But in the weekend,

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
this first class ticket.

But, you know, if you had
the 700 Japanese yen,

you could buy two that fancy
monaka ice cream, too.

So, yeah. Always, there's an option.

So, finally, we arrived to
the Togendai-ko Port.

Our hotel must be there.

So, let's keep walking.

Oh, look at that pirate ship.

That pirate ship has the real pirates.

I think that ship is better. [LAUGHS]

Arigato gozaimasu!

So, this is the station of Hakone Ropeway.

We will use it tomorrow.

There is a restaurant, but seems like
it's already closed though.

Oh, that's Evangelion collab stuff.

Really cool, huh.

Do they have a special gachapon?

Haha, Hakone 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
Owakudani by the ropeway.

They have the onsen egg.

And we can see the
beautiful Mount Fuji, too.

So, please look forward to it.

Ropeway costs 1,500 Japanese yen
for one ride.

But if you have the Hakone
Free Pass, it will be free.

So, that's the 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.

"Hanaori." 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 onsen in the room, too.

Sweet! It's always great
meeting with you guys!

Are you guys ready?
Seeno... Gaooo!!

Lovin' it! [LAUGHS]
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 "Gao!" 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 check-in first.

So, firstly, let's go to check the room.

It's in the second floor.

So, there is a yukata here.
It's the room wear.

This one seems like...
I'm 178, so LL.

[CHUCKLES]

Yup. 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 konbini around here,
but we can buy the beer.

320 Japanese yen. A bit expensive,
but not bad thinking about the place.

The regular drink, regular price though.

Maybe my hotel plan was
not that fancy plan.

So, we gotta go all the way down.
[CHUCKLES] It's okay.

Let's keep walking.

[LAUGHS]

Yep, all the way down.

Oh, yeah. 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 an air purifier.

Couple of waters and 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, shouganai.

And restroom here.

It's pretty nice.

There's something special over here.

Yes! we got an onsen here.

Sweet!

But seems like it's not working.

I thought hot water must be
coming out from here.

But... [CHUCKLES]
Let me figure it out.

And also, there is a nice place
to relax as well.

All right, first things first.

You know, let's clean up a little bit.

Aah...

Oh my goodness.

Saiko!
(The best!)

Ah... You know, today, it wasn't that bad.

But I had a long walk in
the Hakone Shrine, so...

Feels pretty nice.

So, speaking of the hotel price...

This place costs
36,000 Japanese yen 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 bath.

Well, of course, it really depends on the
dinner and breakfast quality as well.

So, let's see.

Oh, wait

I just realized, probably, we need to...

...place the blinds like this.

Otherwise, people from the outside
could see it. [CHUCKLES]

Well, for me, it's okay.

But for ladies, just be careful.

How is it? It's a little bit colorful.

Again, this is the only color available.

I think there is a foot bath.

So, let's explore the hotel before dinner.

So, we can place the phone
and 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! It's a nice view.

So, in the front lobby,

there are place that you can
relax and watch the outside.

There is a small bar over here.

It's the welcome drink.

I think there is tea. And also, coffee.

Oh, really? There's a wine
as well. White wine.

Also, it's the souvenir shop.

And we have the foot bath outside.

Oh, we can enjoy the foot bath over here.

And...

Watch the scenery.

Why not? Let's try white wine.
It's a chardonnay, 2023.

Well, I think the sunset time is coming.

So, it will be more and more
people will be here.

Anyways, so... Kanpai!
(Cheers!)

To be honest, I can't really tell
the taste of the wine, so...

Still, it's meccha oishii.

Well, today's sunset time is 7:00 p.m.

And I booked the dinner at 7:30 p.m.

So, I think we can enjoy
until the dinnertime.

[MUSIC]

I've been here about an hour, but still,
outside is not that dark yet.

It's okay. I got the lantern, too.

But, yeah. From 7:30, it's dinnertime.

So, we gotta go to the restaurant.

By the way, I see many people wearing
the, you know, the darker color one.

This is too light.

So...

I want to have the darker color.

Oh, yeah. This one over here,
it's much easier to move.

There is a pocket as well.

So much convenient.

So, let's go to the dinner.

All right, so I got a nice seat
at the corner.

And this is the plate.

Oh, that's a roasted salmon trout.

Oh my goodness, looks pretty good.

And it smells pretty good, too.

So, I guess those are the veggies.

And so many small dishes.

Oh, that shrimp and eggplant
looks pretty nice.

It's the duck, and also, squid.

It's a cold pork meat platter.

Also, smoked salmon.

Minced yellowtail. And tuna.

Also, so many different kinds
of dessert here.

Oh, sweet! We got macaron.

And those are the drinks.

Apple drink, grape juice, barley tea.
And also, the flavored water.

Oh, interesting. Roasted sea bream
with sherry vinegar sauce. Nice!

And it's a whitebait spaghetti
with yuzu pepper.

This must be nice!

And that's tofu.

Plus, so many sauce.

All right, now, let's get
something to eat.

This trout looks good.

Wow, this one with ikura.

That looks pretty good, too.

And this shrimp.

And duck looks good, too.

Oh, it's the sweet shrimp.

Why not?

Oh, here. It's a grilled beef steak.

Huh. This must be nice, too.

Onion sauce works.

[CHUCKLES]

Already, I can't place it. It's okay.

All right, for the first round.

Well, you know, while I was checking,

already, it's about 30 minutes past.

So, I gotta eat quick.

Okay... Let's eat!

So, let me start with steak.

The shrimp and egg.

Really gentle taste.
Nice flavor of ginger.

Oh, I just realized I can
show like this, huh.

So, it's the salmon with ikura.

Nice salmon flavor.
Really good with ikura.

And how about this baked salmon?

The salmon, really good match
with the tomato sauce.

And the last one...

...is the duck.

The duck had the nice smoked flavor.

Sweet shrimp is my favorite sashimi.
I can eat forever.

It is sweet.

Yeah, you know, it's because
"sweet" shrimp, so supposed to be.

I'm lovin' it!

All right, so let's go for
the second round!

They have the ramen. Interesting.

Sweet.

And here is the steamed pork
with vegetables.

That sounds good, too.
Why not? Let's try it.

Let's go with the sesame sauce.

And also, I want to eat something healthy.

So, let's go tofu

Oh, it's "e goma miso."
Miso mixed with tomato.

That must be perfect with tofu, I believe.

And this tomato and cheese
with olive oil sauce.

That sounds good, too.

And let's go for the squid.

And salmon with ikura.

The second time.

So, let's go with ramen.

There's a chashu pork.

And, oh, it's a wonton!
And plus, noodle.

The best thing, it's only one-bite size.
So, itadakimasu!

It has very gentle taste,
so it's super easy to eat.

And it's time for tofu.

Oishii!

Sweet miso taste.
Really good with tofu.

And how about this squid?

Itadakimasu!

Pretty much, it was just a squid.

And salmon ikura, second time.

And this is something interesting.

It's a cream cheese.

This must be pretty good.
Itadakimasu!

Meccha oishii!

Nice flavor of olive and tomato.

It is really sweet.

I'm lovin' it.

So, let's go for a third round.

Because of the review on the website,

I didn't expect that much
for the dinner, but...

It's much much better than what I thought.

Lovin' it!

And this will be my last round.

Macarons, strawberry cake, mochi,
and mango parfait.

Plus, café latte.

That's perfect for the end.

I am so full.

I can't eat anymore.

And also, I woke up this morning early.

So, I'm kind of already sleepy. Yup.

I can sleep pretty well.

And then, we gotta wake up
early tomorrow morning, too.

I got café latte to go, too.

You know, since I ate too much,
I gotta use the 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, 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 stars,
but not that much. Yup...

♫ No more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars ♫

Not today though... Maybe.

Seems like today, still,
we need to count dollars.

[MUSIC]

Seems like that hot water is
not working neither.

But still, it is pretty warm.

So, you know, maybe when
the water gets less,

they will automatically refill it?
I don't know how it works.

Anyways, so speaking of the hotel,

today, I stay in the Hanaori 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 breakfast.

I'm really excited, too.

And also, we will use the ropeway

and explore the more, you know,
the valley area.

It would be fun.

Seeno...
(Ready, set...)

Gaooo!!
(Lion roar in Japanese)

Have a great day! Bye-bye!

So, you know, I usually stay
in the business hotel.

It costs about, you know, 10,000,
less than 15,000 at the most.

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, 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 APA hotel, and
it will be more fun, right?

Yeah, so I think that's a good idea.

Anyways, let's see.

Yup. 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.

[CHUCKLES]

By the way...

Happy birthday to me!

So eventually, I got the new room,

which seems like it's a bigger 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.

But their service 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!
