Mt Fuji

Ahmed our driver picks us up at 8 am warning
us that the traffic will be heavy on a Saturday as many locals head to Mt Fuji on the weekend. Lots of traffic but so worth it as we wind our way to the 5th station two thirds of the way up the mountain. It’s cloudy foggy and we can’t see anything but are still so excited to be here. We leave and magically the clouds disappear and we are rewarded with a clear of the peak. A miracle! The rest of the day is spent admiring the mountain from the van, a boat, a garden, while eating ice cream and from every vantage point that Ahmed can manage to take us. What a perfect Mt Fuji day.
We head back to ABC Ramen around the corner from the hotel for more gyoza deliciousness and a waffle on the go for Mike and we agree a great day was had by all.Read more
