Today was our day trip to Mount Fuji. We were so excited to wake up and see the mountain from our hotel room window. This is very rare because normally you can only see Mt. Fuji from Tokyo on very clear days.
After our bus ride to the mountain, the clouds started rolling in. We were able to catch a few glimpses of the summit.
The summit is behind us here, I promise:
At the 5th Station on Mt. Fuji:
Shrine at Mt. Fuji:
We took some fun pictures on the hiking trail at Mt. Fuji:
Our tour included an authentic lunch:
Lake Yamanaka:
We took a boat ride on Lake Ashi:
Our last stop was a gondola ride up Mt. Komagatake:
Once at the top, we were completely fogged in and couldn't even see ten feet in front of us:
We ate dinner in Shinjuku again and found a trendy restaurant in one of the big department stores. It was filled with young professionals and the food did not disappoint.
