    Shinjuku Gyoen: Tokyo's BEST Cherry Blossom Spot?

    In this Japan travel vlog, I test whether Shinjuku Gyoen is truly the best cherry blossom spot in Tokyo during peak sakura season. Want my Google Maps links?

Here’s what it’s really like visiting Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo during sakura bloom. Every travel guide calls Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden the best cherry blossom spot in Tokyo — but I had to test that for myself. After completely missing the reservation window the day before, I came back with a strategy: arrive early, beat the crowds, and see if this iconic sakura park actually lives up to the hype. In this Japan travel vlog, I show you: • Whether Shinjuku Gyoen is worth visiting during cherry blossom season • How the reservation system works (and how to avoid messing it up) • The best time to arrive to avoid crowds • What the park looks like during early bloom • My ultimate cherry blossom photo secret that works anywhere in the world With over 1,000 cherry blossom trees spread across Japanese traditional, English landscape, and French formal gardens, Shinjuku Gyoen is one of Tokyo’s most famous spring destinations. But is it really the best sakura spot in Japan — or just the most popular? I’ll be ranking this against other Tokyo cherry blossom locations throughout the series, so subscribe to see which one wins. #ShinjukuGyoen #ShinjukuGyoenNationalGarden #CherryBlossoms #Sakura #SakuraSeason #TokyoCherryBlossoms #TokyoSakura #JapanCherryBlossom #CherryBlossomSeason #Hanami #TokyoTravel #JapanTravel #JapanTrip #JapanVlog #TokyoVlog #SpringInJapan #VisitJapan #ExploreTokyo #TokyoParks #JapanSpring #SakuraJapan #CherryBlossomPhotography #TokyoItinerary #JapanTravelGuide #TokyoAttractions #BestSakuraSpot #TokyoSpring #JapanAdventure #TravelJapan #AlexTravelsFar

I break down the Top 10 Mount Fuji mistakes travelers make and how to avoid them so your Japan travel experience doesn’t turn into a rushed, cloudy, one-day disappointment. From choosing the wrong season to relying too much on public transportation, these common Fuji travel mistakes can completely change your trip. If you’re planning a Mount Fuji itinerary — whether during cherry blossom season, winter snow views, or summer hiking season — this guide will help you: • Choose the best time to visit Mount Fuji • Decide whether to rent a car near Fuji Five Lakes • Find better Mount Fuji photo spots • Avoid weather and cloud disappointments • Pick hotels with real Mount Fuji views • Plan sunrise and multi-day Fuji travel properly Mount Fuji isn’t just one viewpoint — it’s an entire region around the Fuji Five Lakes, Kawaguchiko, hidden waterfalls, scenic drives, and quiet local villages.

This covers: How to travel from Tokyo to Mount Fuji Renting a car around Kawaguchiko Every Mount Fuji lake ranked (with the best one revealed) Chureito Pagoda at sunrise (without the crowds) Honcho Street hidden Mount Fuji views Mount Fuji Ice Cave & Aokigahara Forest Shiraito Falls with Mount Fuji in the background Fuji’s musical fairy tale village Dream Bridge sunrise Torii gate reflection shots The worst Mount Fuji tourist stop — and the best local meal A hidden neighborhood sake brewery If you’re planning a Mount Fuji trip, this is the full experience most travelers never see — and exactly why Mount Fuji deserves more than one day. #MountFuji #JapanTravel #MountFujiGuide #JapanVlog #FujiFiveLakes #Kawaguchiko #ChureitoPagoda #AokigaharaForest #ShiraitoFalls #JapanItinerary #JapanRoadTrip #HiddenJapan #TokyoDayTrip #TravelJapan #MountFujiViews

    I Jumped Off a Skyscraper in Dubai - XLine Zipline Podcast

Drop them in the comments—I reply to everyone! ABOUT THIS PODCAST: Billed as the world’s longest urban zipline, XLine sends you soaring across one of Dubai’s most luxurious neighborhoods — from skyscraper rooftops to the sparkling waterfront of Dubai Marina. In this vlog, I take you through the entire process: check-in at Dubai Marina Mall, signing the waiver, getting geared up with the harness and helmet, the van ride to the launch platform, and that nerve-wracking moment before stepping off the edge of a skyscraper. Then comes the adrenaline rush — a 170-meter-high launch, reaching speeds of up to 80 km/h, with breathtaking views of the Marina, yachts, and skyline below. I’ll also share insider tips to make your experience smoother: how to find the check-in location, why the waiting is harder than the jump, and why booking the GoPro video package is worth every penny. 📍 Want to try it yourself? Book your XLine Dubai tickets here: https://www.xdubai.com/x-line Whether you’re planning your first Dubai trip, searching for the best things to do in the city, or just curious about the world’s wildest adventures, the XLine zipline is one of Dubai’s ultimate bucket list experiences.
