In This Podcast:
This Japan vlog starts with a simple plan near Mount Fuji that quickly turns into a solo adventure off the map.

I thought I was heading to a well-known waterfall, but a wrong turn, icy mountain roads, and a rental car mistake took me somewhere completely unexpected. With no signs, no people, and snow closing in, I ended up hiking a hidden trail that led to one of the quietest and most unique Mount Fuji views I’ve ever seen.

This wasn’t a planned itinerary stop. There were no tour buses, no crowds, and no guarantee it would even be worth it. But sometimes the best moments in Japan happen when things don’t go according to plan. From confusing toll roads to empty mountain paths, this day became a reminder that travel isn’t always about hitting the famous spots — it’s about staying flexible and trusting the adventure.

If you’re planning a Mount Fuji trip, this podcast shows what it’s really like to explore beyond Kawaguchiko, drive in rural Japan, and chase views most tourists never reach.
