Day 7

Today we said goodbye to Tokyo (for now). We took the Shinkansen bullet train to our next stop, Miho, where we are staying in a traditional ryokan - Hotel Hagoromo. It has table and seating on the floor, as well as the beds. Definitely interesting.

It’s also near to Mt. Fuji, but unfortunately it was raining so we couldn’t see anything. Hopefully tomorrow after breakfast we get a nice view.

We have our own private bath, which is so relaxing, especially after the madness of Tokyo. They also give you really comfy robes, and funny toes that separate your big toe from the rest haha

We had a menu meal at the hotel for dinner, and that was some of the weirdest, most interesting food we’ve ever had. I can’t say I was a fan, but it was good to at least try something new.

Tonight’s an early night, as tomorrow check-out is at 10 and we want to see Fuji, plus need to make it to the train at 12. It’ll definitely be a tight squeeze, but at least we’ll have plenty of sleep.
