Going up a hill at Lake Kawaguchi

Went up to the top of the hill to see Mt, Fuji but unfortunately it was covered by clouds. Even on a good day, Mt. Fuji is hard to come by which is a real shame really for any travelers who wants to see it. It's incredibly lucky I even got to see the top once.
Here's a photo of where Mt.Fuji is supposed to be, yep behind all that cloud... At least it's a nice view with all the maple red leaves.

Off to Shin-Yokohama, here's a lovely doggy I saw on the way!

Lake Kawaguchi (Hotel Konanso)

My dad decided to treat us to a posh and expensive hotel. It is the nicest hotel I have ever been in, in my life and thank god because it served the nicest food too!

The hotel was called Hotel Konanso and it's a hot springs hotel so more Onsen!
The onsens over looks Mt.Fuji so that's also why it's so expensive.


A photo from the website and my photos below, pretty similar!


Unfortunately the weather did not get better :( and Mt.Fuji was not seen from the onsen, well not the top of it anyways. So here's me and the beautiful pattern on the carpet!

The food deserves another blog post!

Day 4 Mt.Fuji & Lake Kawaguchi

The incredible Mount Fuji!
On clear days, the top of the mountain can be seen but on cloudy days like my day chances are very slim.

I only saw the whole Mt.Fuji in all its glory for a brief 5 minutes before it was covered by clouds :(
But still it was amazing!

Before & After


Only stopped off at Mt.Fuji for a few hours as it was on the way to Lake Kawaguchi, the view from the lake should be able to see the mountain, so let's hope the weather clears up tomorrow.
