It took us a good part of a day (about 7% of our total trip) to get to Kawaguchiko to see Mt Fuji.
This is what we expected to see:
This is what we actually saw:
For the first 2 days that is. It cleared up enough on the morning of our departure so we could experience it in its' full glory from the front verandah of our glamping tent:
It wasn't all doom and gloom of course. At one point at sunset, the view was pretty specky:
This place is truly beautiful. The camping site was set up half way up a mountain, above a small sleepy town set on the lake. We hiked a bit, drank vodkas and beer waiting for the glorious mountain to reveal itself whilst talking to a local who happened to have lived in Adelaide for a year and was very excited to meet us. We cooked our own food (OK, some of it was 2min noodles), hung out in the hammock by the fire listening to music and reading books.
We feel recharged enough after the hectic adventures in Tokyo, ready to tackle our next adventure in Kanazawa before heading back home.
And as a goodbye present, I received some hickeys from some lovely Japanese mozzies:
