Tokyo: Mt. Awesome, I mean Fuji

I'll wrap up the Tokyo posts with, what else, Mt. Fuji! We jutted across the city at 6am on our second morning there to catch a bus to a little town called Kawaguchiko, which is famous for having one of the best views of Mt. Fuji. Since Mr. Fuji is renowned for being quite shy, we were worried that we wouldn't get a good view of it...but we SO did, as you can tell by the pictures. :) We strolled along the lake in the morning and spent the early afternoon at an onsen (Japanese spa.) Other than that, there was literally nothing to do in this town, since it was the tourism "off season" so to speak. By early afternoon, the view of Fuji had pretty much disappeared, so it's a good thing we got there so early!

Other than that, there's really not much to say about Mt. Fuji other than...WOWZA!!!

Mid morning snack -- locally grown blueberries were the specialty.
