Anyone else notice Chris going on about his great 6k camera but the video he uploaded is in 1080p? Are 4k videos only for Patreon backers? Or did he have to render this one quickly so he could get back to editing the octopus porn movies that pay his rent?

I was really hoping they'd go to Fuji-Q! I went last year and it was nuts. Here's hoping they might in a future episode?

[Music] you're not gonna say journey across japan destination to suck i'm not fat perfect no no way i need to pull over now good morning and welcome back to journey across japan escape to mount fuji six days and a thousand kilometers of despair and we in a capsule hotel inside a shipping container at the base of mount fuji and yes that is as ridiculous as it sounds but we're here to do one thing today and that is to see the iconic mountain itself and it's just outside that door so grab your cameras let's go and take a look at mount fuji oh god getting out of it we've traveled almost a thousand kilometers for this view and it is spectacular is what i would have said if we'd seen the view of course it's not there expectations reality can't even see a single piece of mount fuji yesterday there was a typhoon right the weather said oh tomorrow morning it's going to be a blue sky does that look like a blue sky i'm a little bit angry as you can probably tell but we are gonna be loitering around mount fuji for two days uh around this area so hopefully at some point over the next two days we can catch a glimpse just a fragment just a piece of mount fuji and i will be vindicated and i'll be happy anyway speaking of happy look it's joey the anime man how you doing jay hi i'm good you're not gonna see it i'm just letting you know right now we've got two days left and as you said we traveled five days this is the fifth day we're on the road and we get this journey across japan destination to suck apparently destination anyway we've got a challenge what we got today you guys have been sending us challenges the last five days of our trip uh we've had about 5000 submissions we've wheeled it down to just three from our production team and joey has chosen one what we got all right this one is from bowie davidson bowie davidson either fake name or the best parents in the world what kind of music they listen to who says because of the pandemic traveling overseas is difficult right now it is that's right each take a selfie that looks like you're not in japan and let viewers choose the winner right interesting i mean we certainly can't do it here given this or pagoda is one of the most iconic views of japan every single japan guide has this on the front cover with an actual view of mount fuji so let's get out of the rain and uh let's get going this is the more i stand here the more depressed i feel with that view all right let's go [Music] so as day five of our journey across japan gets underway we make our way around the beautiful lake kawaguchi at the base of mount fuji the perfect weekend escape away from tokyo being just a two-hour drive from the city today is actually the shortest drive of our trip so far as we effectively circumnavigate the mountain with our final destination being izu peninsula which juts out into the pacific and allegedly offers some of the best views of mount fuji in the coastline and amidst the drive in our desperate attempts to see the mountain confusingly we've got to somehow try and find the least looking japanese place for our challenge seriously i'm starting to wish i'd brought a bloody green screen i'm not gonna lie that was the most elaborate opening we've had to uh video on journey across japan escape to fuji so far we climbed up a mountain no less ladies and gentlemen yeah and as you climb up the stairs to the pagoda there's a bunch of warnings for a whole load of boss battles you have to get past it was the monkeys bears bears and a wild boar yeah electric fences wizards and witches and [ __ ] weather and [ __ ] weather it's a really arduous climb to get up there yeah but it was a bitter pill for me to swallow given that most of the photos i get from uh viewers bragging about their mount fuji view it's always from the churrito pagoda right right i've never actually been to the trudeau either so i was hoping to get that same experience but i guess the the abroad in japan curse was upon me as well abroad in japan i've never been able to see fuji so have you ever been to lake kawaguchiko yourself jerry no i haven't i've been nearby it since i've been to aokigahara but i've never actually been at the lake before so it's a really beautiful place like uh i would put it on my top 10 list of places to come to japan you've got all right uh you get the blake itself is beautiful you've got hot springs nearby some nice real cars you've got fujiku highland park the best theme park in front of that in japan and they're not too far from there you've got hakone of course japan's premiere hot spring no what no no way no no i need to pull over now oh my god no way [Music] there it is mount fuji we're filming this in 6k take that to all the haters all the people that sent me photos themselves selfies without fiji i'm the winner now i've done it i've got it it's there i don't know what to do now in some respects we weren't actually expecting to see it especially this morning there was so much cloud over it screenshot that take that that's going to be everywhere every time someone sends me a photo hahaha look i found mount fuji never again because look ha 6k have we never done cgi right that's not a green screen look i can reach out i can touch it i can touch it yeah we've done it [Applause] [Music] i'm not leaving until i've got a proper view that's a little bit of it that's like 100 meters i want all 3776 meters anyway we've stopped here at family mart which seems boring now but in alpine regions mountainous regions in japan they changed the branding for convenience stores as you can see family mart is usually bright green it's actually got this kind of wooden finish and in fact of all the family marts i've seen in japan this one is the nicest looking it looks like a swanky four-star hotel but the reason they do that is to blend the convenience stores into these mountainous regions just makes it look more aesthetically pleasing and nice now joey mentioned he'd found somewhere potentially for us to take a photo and i just can't concentrate because look it's mount fuji look there it is again it's there yeah it's about fuji joey the tiny tiny tip of it it's their hair i know our journey's over thanks for watching guys hope you enjoyed it all right what you got oh i got your family chicken you really are a great friend you know the you know the way to my heart joey oh well guess what i found another way to your heart because i happen to find a british theme park a british theme park a british theme park an ing land good god what what what why how i've been to england once right and it it looks better than england it looks pretty insane wow yeah all right so i think that might be the perfect spot to film uh our challenge for today well i'm gonna finish this family mark fried chicken while overlooking the summit of mount fuji the abroad in japan dream and then we'll go this british theme park and we're going to uk in it has he got a double-decker bus i [ __ ] hope so good god we've just arrived and uh there is the british theme park it's like a little village is it nostalgic it's very nostalgic it's like i'm home wow let's get in there all right what are we waiting for [Music] i'm home [Music] [Music] there's like a working train station here with a little train actually yeah yeah this is actually quite impressive if i was drunk and i woke up one morning with a big hangover i would probably think yeah i'm not in the uk but it looks like the uk still it's really surreal but very interesting to see a sort of japanese interpretation a japanese perspective on what the uk looks like well there's a pub over there called uk margaret uk margaret margaret i don't know and there's humpty dumpty as well just like the uk look at this that is the most sinister interpretation of humpty dumpty that i've ever seen like growing up as a kid we brought up to love humpty dumpty he's kind of this friendly character who accidentally falls off a wall i think we can all relate to that but that is not someone i can relate to that is absolutely horrifying it feels a bit like uh stratford-upon-avon which is the town where william shakespeare was born and kind of got that architecture from the tudor era yeah right so we've got about an hour joey to go around and take some photos this is a home run in terms of taking photos somewhere that doesn't look like japan couldn't be better so now joey and i are going to split up and take three photos each around the park and uh come back and uh then we'll get you guys to vote on which one you think is the best which person took the photo that looks the least like japan i'll meet you back here in an hour good luck okay all right so uh let's start with the railway [Music] all right i've only ever been to england once but i know enough about it to uh know what looks the most england like let's go this way there's this little kind of 1920s 1930s style form of transport i don't know what it is is it a bus i think it's a bus there's a train coming over what there something like this yeah something like that that was pretty british all right let's do that looks kind of cool from the outside but i've been playing around with it i can't even get in look at this door doesn't open very far but and i've got passengers teddy mcbee basil the bear i think this could be a good a good place to kick things off opened in 1990 shizenji park has spread over 50 hectares with the 15-inch gorge railway built by a british company i know the park may seem like a ghost town today the uk is one of the most desired travel destinations for japanese travelers a study in 2019 ranks the uk as the fifth most desirable place to visit with hawaii taking the number one spot followed by france italy and australia and the mainland us in sixth place after an hour of taking degrading selfies joey and i meet back up to see what we've got [Music] so we've taken our photos and we're about to go through them but before that just as we walked into this place we took a photo of joey and i standing in the street and i wrote great to be back home showing my good friend joey around he's come all the way from australia and he's not disappointed and we thought we'd do it to see if people actually thought it looked like the uk and what have we got joey well we got uh a bunch of comments a lot of them are just you know unclearly understand our sense of humor like i feel there's a joke here i'm not getting this picture is trying to tell us something but i can't point it out but then you have some people who are genuinely like not gonna lie didn't think the uk actually looked like this do you want to start with your first photo jay will go one at a time sure uh so the first one is this one right here it's me in front of the double decker bus penny lane yeah uh i call this uh barber shop on the corner barbershop on the corner yeah because that's how penny line goes right penny lane there's a barbie on the corner that's a very clever one yeah my first one is me driving that little truck over there and i call it who's driving this thing uh it's me with a little bear you put way more effort into your selfies than that i don't i get carried away with this stuff i love it i love it but what do you got next uh i got this one right here oh wow i snuck into a train station i snuck into a train station yeah without a train yeah early morning train station there's a train here but i haven't i've heard it but i've not seen it every time i go to see it it's like pulls out the station and drives off somewhere my second one is back at the uk margaret my favorite pub um but wait it uk margaret sounds like some sort of abrasive british grandmother but it's the pub that the uk deserves all right what's your final photo then this is my final photo it's the side of the bus of the first photo but i just wanted to get this because this has to be quote of the year right at the on this thing it says upon the theme of human nature and culture with its wealthy natural environment we create this park to give you a breathing space prepared for the coming year wow romney bus transport carrying on the theme of kind of bizarre japanese english my third and final one is this one and it's called the thorno of the rose there's a little rose bush over there just like the uk and there's a sign warning people about the thorns on the rose and they've cocked it up over it and please note the thorn of the rose so there you go those are our three photos please vote on the one you like the most write the name of the photo in the comments and uh see who the winner is but for now let's get out of here karen on journey yeah let's go see if we get one last glance of mount fuji while we're here [Music] i did i broke i broke the uk as we're leaving the park by good fortune we catch the eye of the park manager and to thank us for turning up he leads us into the gift shop to generously gift us a pair of flip-flops so the manager of this place has seen us walking around with a camera found out where youtube is and is now giving us a present this is a unique thing of the british theme park fish flops they're sandals they're flip flops the shape of a fish genius [Music] fish floss this day just got at least 25 percent better but the generous gift-giving wasn't over yet it seemed for me the friendly park manager had one more item in mind wow tonight i'm not fat yes this is the shirt that speaks to me this is the best day of my life finally a t-shirt that speaks to me debbie deny i'm not fat perfect [Applause] [Music] oh wow good god i didn't actually think we'd see mount fuji on their journey across japan escaped mount fuji in the last few days it's been nothing but rain clouds typhoons but look at that seriously that's an insane shot and it's not it's not green screen it's real it's actually this is a real thing again i can touch it's there why am i green screen green screen it's not real look at his face well seriously i'm i'm ecstatic i feel vindicated and it's it's the end to what's been a relatively good day that british theme park was uh interesting certainly interesting be sure to vote on who you think took the best photo there was certainly some uh exciting some exciting photos taken along the way but for now guys we're gonna end things here our hotel is just around the corner be sure to join us for the final episode of journey across japan escape to mount fuji for now guys as always many thanks for watching i'll see you right back here on the aboard japan channel take it away mount [Music] fuji next time [Music] [Applause] [Music] journey across japan is supposed to be a family friendly series and this is very far from
