Day 4: Nagoya / Mt. Fuji / Lake Kawaguchi

DAY 04


Started off today early as we will be departing to visit the symbol of Japan, Mt. Fuji.
It takes about 4 hours to Mt. Fuji by coach.
Along the way, we en-route for a short bullet train experience from Kakegawa Station to Shizuoka Station.

There are 3 types of bullet train in Japan, Nozomi, Hikari & Kodama.
The bullet train we were boarding was Kodama, the slowest among the 3 as it stops at every station.

Here we were at Shizuoka Station!
Hopped back into our coach and continued journey to Mt. Fuji.

We were lucky that day as we can viewed Mt. Fuji from far distance due to the clear weather!

We were getting nearer to the Queen!!

Amazing view of the mountain!

Before proceeding to the 5th Station, we stopped by for lunch at Lake Kawaguchi.


Part of my lunch..Freaking good!!

Off we go to the 5th Station!

Here we were!

The icy summit of Mt. Fuji.

The building here is where you can get some souvenirs and enjoy a cup of piping hot coffee at the cafe.

Really breathtaking panoramic view.


Frozen snow.

Off to Oshino Hakkai next.

Nothing much to here. But you can snapped nice shot of Mt. Fuji from here.

Called it a day and off to check in to the onsen resort, Fuji View Hotel.

Changed into yukata and proceeded to the dinner venue.

My dinner!!


After dinner, went back to the room and was contemplating if I should try the onsen.
Fyi, for onsen, which is PUBLIC, you need to be completely naked to dip into the hotspring!!
I was so freaking shy!
I don't feel like exposing myself in the public..
After an hour of deep thoughts, in the end I just plucked up the courage to go!

I went to the hotspring area nervously.
And guess what?
No one was there that time.
Basically the whole hotspring area was conquered by me!
Whee~~
No one saw me naked!! :D
I am glad that I tried the onsen..
Felt so freaking good dipping into the onsen..
