Good morning!! It's 11am!

I thought I'd make a video in Japanese since it's been a while

and my friend Ben is studying Japanese so

Let's try to speak Japanese all day today!

Your Japanese doesn't suck!

We are at Mt. Takao right now!

Can you see? It's so beautiful here!!

This video was filmed last fall!

Wanted to wait until this year to post it

So you guys would still have time to go see the leaves

while they're in season :)

This is the first time I've come to Mt. Takao

I've been looking forward to it!

Cold, pretty cold

Shall we go?

Let's go~

Oh wow it's so pretty!

Oh above the river there? So pretty!

Oooo they have sake manjyu!!

I wanna eat it

Wanna get some on the way back?

Let's get some on the way back

Or how about now?

Sake manjyu! This!

This is it

I don't like these beans

Ahh you don't like anko?

These are dango! Made from soba

I don't like dango either

Oh. Well we're outta luck then, haha

I'll get some for myself on the way back

The steepest slope in Japan

I wanna ride in the cable cars!

and on the lift!

I wonder if we can

It's pretty crowded right now

Getting on the lift!

Ahhh scary

It's movinggg

We made it!

Wow this is fun!

I've never been on a lift like this

Only the ones at the ski resort

These trees are ridiculous!

Ahhh this is terrifying

What if we fall!?

And it's gonna go way higher

We're just getting started

Can I get off now?

And it's shaking

What's that!?

A scarf

Oh it's someone's scarf!

I thought it was an animal

We're so high up!!

DON'T SHAKING

Hello!!

This is terrifying

I wish they would give us seatbelts

We're just sitting here like this hoping we don't fall off

Scary scary scary scary

Those look good!

Amazake please

That'll be 310 yen

Amazake is a sweet drink made from fermented rice

It's good!! So good!!

You like it?

You don't like it!? No way!

If you want delicious amazake come to Mt. Takao!!

Lots of places in Japan have stamps that you can collect!

We came to get some udon

Check out the view outside!

It's amazing!

So pretty!

The menu is on the wall

I'm not wearing glasses so I can't see anything

Leaving it to you Ben!

I can't see it at all

Amazake! Maybe I'll get another one

Hmm wonder what they have

Yummy!

Check it out!

Looks so good

That's so good

I wonder what it actually is

Ahhh cocoa

Peanuts

Oh it's probably actually tastes good then

I wanna eat wasabi chocolate

I bet it's awesome

So beautiful~

I wonder what's up at the top

I wanna go! There must be something up there

Apologize in advance if there isn't anything lol

There was nothing xD;

But it was pretty!

We're almost at the top!

A little further!

The weather is awesome

It rained a bit but it has cleared up now

The air is nice

Ahhh my muscles hurt

Might not be able to walk tomorrow

Oh wow!

So nice!

Still got a ways to go, let's do it~

We made it!

Yaaaaay

It's my first time to make it here

His first time to the summit!

How many times have you been to Mt. Takao?

Maybe about 5-6 times?

That many and still haven't been to the top!?

Well yay then! :D

More than that maybe!

I don't remember...

Really??

Yeah cause I live really close by

Lucky~ the countryside is nice

I love the countryside!

Lots of mosquitoes though

On clear days you can see Mt. Fuji from here right?

I wonder which direction it's in

I wonder if there's a sign... doesn't look like it

By the way it's about 600 metres tall

Yaaaaay scary scary scary

HOLY FUCK this is scary

It doesn't look scary on the camera but it's scary!

Let me angle this

Why are we swinging so much this time?

I don't know, it hates us

We are on the lift on the way back down the mountain

I hope you enjoyed hanging out with us

It was a gorgeous day

The weather was perfect

And I think we came at the perfect time to see the fall leaves

The leaves were just beautiful

And this lift is really friggen scary when you're going down

If you're scared of heights this might not be for you

Heights and loud clanky sounds

But Mt. Takao was so beautiful, I totally recommend it if you're in Tokyo

It was about an hour out of Shinjuku

So not that far out

Yeah the Keio Line comes straight here

Thanks for watching guys! Bye!

The fall leaves at Mt. Takao will look their best

from the middle of November until the beginning of December this year!
