00:00What's your confidence level that this is going to go well?

00:02Eh, maybe like a five, but we'll see.

00:06Good morning. We are leaving Tokyo today and we are renting a car and heading towards Mount Fuji

00:11and we are staying at a ryokan, so we're super excited. We're going to go to 7-eleven, grab

00:17some road trip snacks, and then start heading that way.

00:22Bag secured. Now let's try to drive a car in Japan.

00:26I'm a passenger princess on the left side of the car. Yeah!

00:35Let's get on the highway.

00:38He's anxious. I don't know if I understood a word he said.

00:43I mean, it looks like a car. There's no charger in here.

00:47We've made it onto the highway. It was eventful. Garrett turned on the windshield wipers like

00:53probably nine times. We've got, um, 70 kilometers on this highway and so now we just have to try

00:58not to accidentally exit.

01:03Much safer.

01:23Welcome to our room. We have our toilet. We have our living area. This is where we will eat dinner

01:40together. There's chairs so we can look out the window at the lake and the people on the little swan

01:46boats. This nice area to get ready. Garrett, go ahead and show yourself in the mirror. Yeah,

01:50we got matching fits. Heated floors. We have a private bath. We have the area that will become

01:59our bedroom area for the night. When we came in, they had these like little s'mores looking things.

02:04It's like two little wheat crisps with a little bit of chocolate inside.

02:07Not red bean.

02:08It might be red bean.

02:11I think it's red bean. All the desserts here aren't too sweet. So this is nice. Look at my outfit.

02:16I feel like I might be, I don't know if I like went back in time 5,000 years or I'm a sumo wrestler.

02:25You can see they give you towels and a little hand basket. So you pick it up here.

02:30Got my basket and then I just walk around the hotel. Just a couple on their way to the spa.

02:38All right. We just got back from the private bath. It was so hot. I am like dripping sweat. That's

02:46sweat right there. Just like, I don't know. I got out and your heart rate starts pounding. Anyways,

02:50it was amazing. It does take a little bit getting used to being naked in a hot tub. I don't know,

02:56being from the United States, being naked in bodies of water is a little weird. So anyways,

03:01that was an interesting experience. But now we're going to relax a little bit. We have a traditional

03:05Japanese dinner at 6 30 tonight. So I think we're going to go walk around town a little bit.

03:10Look at the scenery behind me here in this town. It is just beautiful. And we just saw a wild monkey,

03:17which I don't think I've ever seen a real monkey before up close. And I've heard their means. So

03:21stay vigilant. You got to watch out. Walking towards the light.

03:32Sad in Tokyo because I thought I missed all the cherry blossoms. We came a little late,

03:37but they're in full bloom here since it's cooler. So it's very pretty.

03:42I don't know how much food in Japanese style. There's going to be a little piece of meat

03:47with the bones in it, but we're going to eat anyway.

03:56This looks so incredible. I'm so happy. I don't know where to start though.

04:01She told us what everything was, but honestly, I don't, I didn't really follow,

04:04but here it is. It's like 12 courses. It's just like.

04:10All right. To start as our aperitif, we have this cranberry liqueur.

04:14This is the taste. It's very sweet. Nice first palate cleanser.

04:20Next up, we have this sashimi plate, which Garrett is dying to dive into.

04:27What else in your mouth?

04:30Beef hot pot.

04:32Looks like he's still looking at me. I just had an epic hot pot fail. I thought that egg

04:37might've been a hard boiled egg. I cracked it on the table and it was a raw egg. And I put it in my hot

04:41pot after my hot pot had already cooled. So now I'm in love with that. I finished dinner. I'm

04:47definitely in a food coma. I'm just so tired after all of that, but it's been a really great day. The

04:52drive out here was awesome. I got to see the cherry blossoms, which has been a really cool experience.

04:58So definitely glad that we came out here.

05:06So this is, we're sleeping tonight. It's essentially like a pad on the, on the mats and it's a

05:14comforter and a sheet. So it honestly looks very comfortable. I'm excited to get some rest. I am

05:18so tired after that huge dinner, we're going to crash and then wake up early tomorrow morning.

05:24So we'll see you then. Good night. If you enjoyed this video, subscribe to our channel.

05:28We'll be taking a train to Kyoto where we'll be spending the next two days.
