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!
