Mount Fuji

The next morning was dry and bright and after a coffee stop just down the road from our hotel we were soon back at the station for the 10 minute rain ride to lake Kawaguchi.

The Intermediate station is ‘Fuji Highland’ where is a large hotel, a theme park and surprisingly, “Thomas the tank engine land” . Something none of us expected.

Arriving in Kawaguchiko we passed a restaurant with a great sign which lost nothing in translation.

Just down the road we had some very nice noodles for £3 at a roadside noodle bar. The choice on the menu was, noodles or fried rice, both were delicious

Down by the lake the views were fantastic!

Whilst we were down at the lake Diane bought us all tickets for the boat trip and cable car, so off we went.

Great boat trip over, we headed for the nearby panoramic ropeway.

After a couple of beers we were soon back at our hotel after 2 great days in Fuji and looking forward to a couple of days in Kyoto.
