Good morning guys! We're on a road trip today, we're heading to Nokogiriyama
Nokogiri Mountain. When I asked my sister where she wanted to visit in Japan
this is one place that she found online
I've never been there before, but we looked it up
and it looks pretty neat! It's a really beautiful hike and they have lots to see
At the top there's this really scary viewpoint hanging over a cliff
And you stand on the edge of the cliff, so looking forward to that!
It should be really cool
The drive is pretty long so we'll be there in a few hours
But I'll see you guys when we get there!
All right so this is where we are right now and over on this side of the bay is Tokyo
So if you want you can also ride a ferry across the bay to get here
This is where we are right now, and we're going to ride the rope way all the way up to the mountain summit
And then around here is where all the sights to see are
This is the creepy hanging off the cliff viewpoint
And then there's a giant Buddha carved out of the side of the mountain
Apparently it's the largest buddha in Japan, bigger than the one we saw in Nara
So that's pretty cool!
They're roasting dango! I wonder what the flavour... Ooo are they sakura? I think they're Sakura mochi
Shay look at all the cats!
Look! Three on the mountain
Why are there so many cats
I wonder if they're all related, they all look kind of the same
I'm surprised they don't eat these koi! Maro would devour those
Must be friends
Wow look at the view
So high up!
There's Mount Fuji, so I guess that means...
Yeah, it's a little too cloudy today
All right we've made it to "Jigoku Nozoki" - "The View of Hell"
That's the little cliff spot that I was telling you guys about
It costs 600 yen to go in
All right we've arrived it's just beyond this turn here!
Keyboard-san is... This flower is Utsuki!
Wow, all right. Gotta climb this!
Make sure you bring good shoes guys! This isn't a simple hike
We're rock climbing now
Apparently there's wild monkeys on this mountain, we've yet to see one
There was a sign that said "Don't feed the monkeys!" so I hope we run into one
Wow, this is scary!
Holy crap we're high
We're hanging over the edge of the cliff right now
Yikes...
Wow this is scary
Not for people that are scared of heights that's for sure
It's a really beautiful view though
I love the colour the trees how some of them are yellow
I wonder in the Fall if this would be all red
Oh that would be cool
The flowers smell so sweet, they smell like vanilla
All right next stop is the daibutsu! The big buddha statue
I guess it's not a statue, it's a carving, a carving straight in the side of the mountain
There's a little pathway off of the path here, what's down here?
Oh it's a little, pool of water.
that we can't cross
No monkeys? Darn, no monkeys
This looks like a spot there would be monkeys
Is that a monkey?
I don't know...
Probably not
Shay, do these all have different faces?
Looks like it!
Apparently you're supposed to start counting at one of them, you can choose any one
Then just count until you get to your age and then that one represents you
Let's see which one I get... 1,2,3,4,5... 27, 28, 29, 30, 31!
In the background with no head!
This one represents me
Well it has a head, it's just on the ground
At least it's a pretty one
That one's me
The one that looks like it's meditating?
Could be worse, you have a head
Coulda been that guy, he just looks depressed
2nd row 3rd from the top
The one that's kinda green?
No underneath that one, the yellowish one
This one?
Yeah
He got that one
That looks accurate
The path is really neat, you go under rock tunnel ways
there's statues everywhere
We've made it to the daibutsu! Are you ready?
Ta-da! It's huge! It is huge. That's incredible!
I had no idea there was a daibutsu larger than the one in Nara, so close to Tokyo!
This isn't very well known at all, I wonder why
I'm surprised there aren't more tourists here... I guess since you have to climb a mountain to get to it
It's very quiet here. Yeah it's nice!
It's so cool
And it's carved into the mountain, that makes it even cooler
Look at all these tiny little statues
It says "onegai" so I guess you can purchase them from somewhere
and leave them here and pray and make a wish
Those look like they've been there for a while
We're making our way back to the ropeway
We were gonna try and hike the way down
But apparently that would leave us nowhere near where we parked our car
So we don't have a choice, and we're headed back to the ropeway
But it was nice, it was a really beautiful view so I'm kinda glad we get to ride it again
Where is it? It sounds like it looks cool but I can't see it
Oh they're on the counter!
There's a little cafe at the ropeway station where you can get some drinks
But there isn't any food on the mountain so make sure you eat lunch before you come here
All right guys I guess I'll say goodbye here!
I hope you enjoyed the video!
Please give it a thumbs up (^^)b
And I'll see you guys soon! Bye!
