Day 357: Mount Fuji

Stunning Mt Fuji - we were very lucky to get a pretty clear day, apparently "she doesnt show her peak very often".

I'd fallen asleep in the coach, and the view when I woke up took my breath away.









We sat down to a bento box lunch, with Miso Soup in a very pretty restaurant...


Before we went for a wander in the grounds. Oh thank the lord we spotted this rollercoaster after lunch!


This is the Mt. Fuji Art museum. The exhibits were pretty dry, but the building itself was beautiful.


A wee cruise over Lake Hakone, to Hakone peak - on which I saw Pirates! Well, an old chinese junk now toating tourists around ...


Before we we went up the most terrifying cable car (only as it was soooooooo high), to one of the most breathtaking scenes I've ever witnessed.

Then back to the city.
