Day 5 Part 1: Fuji Farewell & Travel Day

We started our last morning in Kawaguchiko early, climbing once more to the Chureito Pagoda to watch the sunrise over Mount Fuji. The colours were soft, the air chilly, and Fuji stood perfectly clear—one more moment to store in memory before moving on.

Back in town, we walked to Honcho Street, the classic “Fuji through the main street” view, where the mountain rises dramatically above the shops and power lines. A quick final stop at the shores of Lake Kawaguchiko gave us one last look—and one last photo—of the mountain that had been our companion for the past days.

Then it was time to travel. We took the bus to Mishima, boarded the Shinkansen, and watched Japan blur past the windows on our way to Okayama, ready for the next chapter of our journey.もっと詳しく
