Happy birthday Shinichi!!

You two are the cutest couple! Happy Birthday and wishing you many more happy trips!

Looks like a great place. Satoshi is such a good boyfriend awww.

i love the romance train for couples! thats sweet of Satoshi still ur b-day...ty for sharing ur winter video in Hakone. nice video, great camera person

Tips if you wanna go to Hakone: 1. BUY HAKONE FREEPASS. I cannot stress it enough, it is a pass for almost all transportation in Hakone. Hakone freepass for 2 days costs 4000 yen if you stopped in hakone, or if you are from shinjuku it costs 5140 yen. I didn't buy it and it costs me easily 4000 yen or so just for 1 day trip. Buy it, even if you only go for 1 day. Buses there will increase in price every few stations and if you go from one end to another it will costs you at least 1500 yen for 1 trip. and if you look at the video, you need to pay a lot of things such as rope way and ship, if you use hakone freepass, all of them are already included 2. Plan your day well, every one and each transportation takes very long time to arrive to their destination. the train easily takes 20-30 minutes, and that is only to the ropeway. ropeway takes another 30+ minutes because it is slow and very long. if you wanna do return trip like them with ship, it will take another few hours. if you go to gotemba, it will be like 3 hours or so. it is a lot of time wasted on journey. 3. some places that I did go last time (2 full days): A. Onsen: Hakone Kowakien Yunessun is an onsen with many different type onsen, they have coffee, tea, sake, etc onsen. if you don't mind being naked (and no, it is not mixed) I recommend naked one since it doesn't smell like swimming pool (because I am sure they put chlorine in their mixed non naked onsen area). The non naked onsen area feels very gimmicky, but the naked one is so good B. Gotemba: Gotemba is discounted premium brands factory outlet in the end of Hakone, it is super far, but you can find many premium brands at cheap price. Honestly, the only reason why I wanna go to Hakone is for this place lol C. the sulfur mountain 4. I would take at least 2 days here if you wanna see everything, everything in Hakone closes early, so go out early, and you need to be ready leaving to your hotel in Hakone or to Shinjuku by 5 or 6 in the afternoon. if you missed the last bus, your next best bet is taxi to the nearest train station

cutest couple in japan you guys have alot of fun i envy you guys :3

I am so home sick for Japan. Hakone was my favorite place to spend my weekends. Thank you for showing so many of the places I love.

Satoshi must have planned this forever!!!!!! Glad you enjoyed it so much 😊

It look nicer now than 12 years ago . Should come back and go around more . I love Hakone .

You are my new favorite youtube channel! You two are SO sweet and wonderful, you are a treat to watch and I just love all the great Japan-related content you have. How cool! Keep up the awesome videos!

This was the most informative video of Hakone i have watched excellent job guys and thank you.Taking notes for future trip to Hakone

Omg thank you so much for the look at the volcano my daughter is absolutely obsessed with volcanos and we don't have any in Australia so she was so excited to see a real one. You have made a 7yo girl very happy.

Happy belated birthday and what a great birthday gift in this trip! Thank you for sharing it with us!

i just got back from a 4 week trip in japan, and your videos were really helpful! thank you :)

A over nite trip.to the hot spring how exciting

Boys..... You know that I absolutely adore ALL of your videos, but this one......this one has to be one of my all time favs! I love it when you share every trip from start-to-finish, and to fit all of that yumminess in between. Thank you! What a special birthday trip. Hakone and this Ryokan will be put onto our family trip destination list for sure! Thank you all of your hard work at putting together quality videos! Love you both so much!

hakone was very peaceful. stayed at a ryokan there and it had a private onsen....its was a well needed stop on our trip. beautiful in the fall.

Hakone is so lovely!! It was my favorite part of visiting Japan :) Thank you so much for sharing, and happy birthday!!

This video of your visit to Hakone is really marvelous! Thank you for taking us with you as you celebrated Shinichi's birthday. Satoshi, this was such a wonderful gift to Shinichi. It was such a special trip to beautiful Hakone. I'm glad the two of you were able to enjoy so much delicious food, including the Owakudani eggs to extend your lives by 7 years! I send good wishes to you both. I heard snow was expected there, and I hope you are staying safe and warm at home. Hugs!

I am so homesick for my time in Japan. Thank you so much for the delightful memories of many, many happy trips to Hakone. From the Romance Car to the Hakone switch back train, cable car, gondola, ship, and I took the bus back to Odawara to catch the Odyku line to Hadano. Awesome memories. Great reminders of the black egg, Hakone wooden items. I even have my tea ceremony items made of Hakone wood. I can watch this again and again. Domo arrigato.

These videos make me feel warm and fuzzy :) happy birthday sir!!

Starting a birthday trip right with the romance car haha

Such a lovely quiet place, delicate dishes and raffled food.....you'r both lucky! Thanks to take us in your journey/travel...

That fish looks so tender and soft, but as though it still has a little snap! The food just seems to be one of the many perks of Japan, hope I can visit Hakone in the future!

Would love to go there one day, Japan is always that one country just speaks to me... living in New York for more than 10 years .... I can't wait to make Japan my forever home ! ありがとうございます。

Happy Birthday Satoshi 🎈🎉🥳🎉🎈 have a great time enjoy 🎂🎈🎈

I loved this video the first time I've watched it, and I loved it even more today. What a fabulous place Hakone is, and that ryokan was very nice indeed. You've been also so lucky to be able to see Mt. Fuji too, your birthday trip was simply perfect! 😍

Japan is another one of those places that I really must visit one day! Thanks for another great video guys!

Great view! Happy birthday again✌🏼❤️ I’d love to stay there. Looks so peaceful.✌🏼✌🏼❤️❤️

Thank you so much for sharing this video. This is exactly what i needed! I’m planning on visiting hakone in May! Now i know what to expect

This fish looks amazing and when you added the lemon ooo yumm

What beautiful warm people, keep making people smile guys.

I enjoyed the video with reminiscence. My family used to go Hakone every summer when I was a kid. Happy birthday again, Shinichi! What a wonderful day you had! Great planning, Satoshi!

Great video as usual. My group of friends and I are planning to go to hakone and this video really helps.

What a lovely trip... this video is a real treasure for me in cold, dark and windy Germany right now 😍

This video made my day. I did the same thing for my birthday and this brought back a lot of memories. I love Owakudani and the Lake Ashi cruise. Aside from my crappy ryokan, my only regret was not exploring the areas around Hakonemachi more. Caught the bus right after the cruise and should have taken more time to explore the area. The bus ride through the mountains was amazing in itself so I hope you guys got a chance to ride on it.

Beautiful! This location was absolutely beautiful and it was very special to share this with you

Thank you for sharing your trip, it looks so beautiful there

Another beautiful showing of a part of Japan not many see!! thank you for the video and glad you had a great time there :) :)

I did not know Japan had such wonderful flour-based foods. "Yum."

great video guys! I can't wait to visit Hakone myself! It looks so beautiful there! Thank you!

Yay a 25 minute video!!! As usual, informative and fun video👍😁

Satoshi did a wonderful job of making that a special day and the videos are great. Thanks for bringing us along.

Thank you for this interesting two day adventure at Hakone!

Brilliant video and thanks for sharing your birthday 🎂 with us 😀🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Happy Birthday. Hakone is an interesting place & loved you showed some of it's crafts & foods.

What a gorgeous place and awesome birthday present!

I loved Hakone! We went to the Hakone Open Air Museum. It’s my most favorite museum ever! We went to Hakone machi and ate at Bakery & Table. Such good delicious food! We never got to the volcano but maybe next time...if the wind is calm.... glad you had such an amazing day! I can’t wait to go back!

I really enjoy watching your videos, you are both very entertaining. Keep the videos coming. Happy Birthday 🎈

Did a Fuji/Hakone tour and it was awesome! Glad I found this channel

Beautiful sleek train! OMG! The booooooat was so cool!

Hakone, looks so amazing. There are so many things to do and see! Will definitely put that on my to do list when back in Japan. Awesome, you must have had a great time! Xxx

This is an amazing video, me and my boyfriend booked a ryokan for hakone around march as well and I was already wondering where to go and what to do! Thank you so much for the video upload. I always love to watch your adventures and delicious foods!

I was really surprised with the volcano part, that's definitely a view you would never see often or at all! So cool and lovely trip =]

Very nice vid.... to get away from the hustle & bustle of Tokyo life I was in Tokyo for 3 days shopping & eating & took another day to sight see in Kamakura and it was so peaceful and relaxing there

Hakone looks like fun! Thanks for the video !

Really enjoyed this video guys. Seen Hakone pop up a fair bit lately, think it’s time to check it out for myself. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love to watch your videos and you are both so adorable together!!. I love the food ideas that I see on your channel!! Thank you!

Thankyou so much for sharing your experience 😍😍

Thanks for sharing your journey both! I missed Hakone's scenary :)

I took the romance car to Hakone 2 years ago! I really loved it!!

This is one of TabiEats BEST videos EVER!!!! Great job!!!

Lovely trip you had, well done Satoshi!

Happy Birthday Shinichi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You inspire us as a family to travel to Japan, it’s most definitely on our bucket list!!! Xxx

I love this trip, onsen, gourmet food, and tourist events and sites! Also, the famous artifact of Hakone, Yosegi, looks beautiful! If anyone is reading this comment, Yosegi is made by putting different kinds of wood together. All natural colors! That's how craftsmen make beautiful patterns:)

New to this channel. You're the cutest couple. But also wonderful guides. I was looking up the places on google maps as I watched the video, the whole place looks so wonderful, with so many museums and galleries, shops, restaurants and so much more. Amazing to have that so near to Tokyo. Need to save some money and get to Japan!

The new intro looks so good!

This video makes me want to visit Hakone this spring!

I loved the view from the cable car. Such an otherwordly landscape, it's like out of a science fiction movie.

Thank you my friends for making me discover 箱 根 町 (Hakone). It looks like a really nice and beautiful place to go to. That's certainly a place in which I want to go when I visit Japan one day.

This place is so beautiful! The volcano, the lake, everything is stunning! Thanks so much guys for sharing! Great video (as always)! You're really, really cute together 😍. Take care guys! Love you

Oh, Shinichi san, your Himono breadfast is ultimate. I love Himono esp Saba Mirinboshi...I envy you. You two had a wonderful Hakone trip.

Glad you had such a nice birthday celebration in Hakone! We visited the area in early October and loved it. Wish we had known in advance what their specialty foods were, but at least now we know. Loved the wonderful fish you had at the first restaurant you ate in. My mouth is watering!

Wonderful video! I am amazed by how precisely the sandwiches are cut … all are the exact same size and the bread is not smashed down at all from cutting them. I guess I can find joy in the simplest of things 😁

Dope Video! Sending blessing your way, Keep inspiring!🎒🙌🏻

Was just there last week and I loved it 😄

Oh Hakone looks awesome!!😍😍

Thank you for this video ,, my busband and I planning to spend 2 weeks i. Japan , our first plan to see Mt ,Fuji. And Hakone , i love watching your videos its very clear and very interesting ,, i love also your other channel of course,, Hope everything will be ok ,so we can travel on october , ,

Fascinating travelogue thank you for sharing

The dango looks delicious 😍 Hope you guys are holding up well with the Japanese weather! Heard on the news it's quite cold over there at the moment ❄️

We took the Shinkansen XD from osaka but we did saw the romance car was quite a good alternative from Tokyo :) have to agree owakudani is a spectacular place :D - not the easiest to get to with all the diff transport to get there :D but the views! :D was sooo worth it! - i didnt get to explore hakonemachi soo much :D except for the pier to take the pirate ship :D, thanks for the food tour! wew that dango looks heaps yum guys! :D next time im gonna explore down here haha

Thanks guys for this video. I have forgotten how interesting Hakone is and will be going there in April again. You mentioned Odawara several times, but is is one of my favorie places that feels like country compared to Tokyo.

Nice a new post ! You both are so cool.

I’m glad I’m watching this video after lunch. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fantastic video Shinichi and Satoshi ! Love watching your videos , we will be visiting your beautiful country very soon and we are visiting Mt Fuji and Hakone and Lake Aishi. Wow Japan is so breathtakingly beautiful i am sure we will be visiting more than once. Big hello from Australia xx💗🗻🌏🌸🌸🍲🍣🍤🍥🍡🍠🍶

This video came at the perfect time because my bf and I are going to hakone soon!

Happy Birthday Shinichi! Great hair day too! 😊

Omg you are the cutest birthday boy💕. You two make a sweet couple❤️

thank you very much, great video and really useful

Wow Hakone looks amazing! We'll definitely need to visit when we're back in Japan! Thanks for the video guys 😁

Wonderful video! Thank you!

I think that this is your best video.

What an AMAZING place. I would love to go see and do everything that you guys did. I love the hot springs and the beautiful atmosphere of the town. So refreshing to see after being in the city. Is it tourist friendly, meaning are there are lot of signs, menu, etc in English? Do many of the shop owners speak English? I have never traveled out of the country so I"m always nervous traveling abroad. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place!

Love Hakone

お誕生日おめでとうございます！！！！：）

Wow, I wish I had gotten to stay longer in Hakone, unfortunately the tour guide made the decision to send us to the next destination early due to an incoming typhoon. Kind of bitter-sweet getting to see all the things I missed out on! It looks so beautiful there!

I love that they cut off the bread crust in Japan. 😍
