2 Nights at Lake Kawaguchiko (Fuji)

Ahort penguin today! Had a bunch of photos of Mt Fuji so uploading them all here.

After Kyoto, we got the bullet train up to Lake Kawaguchiko where we have just spent the last 2 days.

This town is part of the five lakes surrounding Mt Fuji which means some amazing views of the mountain. We didn't get perfect weather so it was never really completely clear of clouds but I did manage to get some nice blips. There are certain streets in the town where Fuji towers over you, was quite surreal and the pictures don't really do it justice to show how big it looked.

The morning after we arrived I went on a long run around the lake, one of the most scenic runs I've been on. Then we did a load of walking, hit one of my highest ever step counts of 38k! The day after we hired bikes and cycled to some nearby areas, was really nice although tough up the hills! At one point we accidentally stumbled into a 2km downhill tunnel on the bikes which was actually really fun.

Have uploaded a few of my favourite pics I got of Fuji and the lake. We are in Tokyo now! Just arrived a couple of hours ago.Read more
