Argh!!!!! I’m so far behind on my blog!! This happened ages ago and I feel like I have another billion photos that I’ve taken since then. Which I actually do. Maybe I’ll be able to get up to date after I leave Japan??  Anyways. I went to Mt Fuji area May 30 & 31st with my roommate Lisa. We took a bus from Nagoya at the crack of dawn and arrived at the entrance gate to Fuji-kyu Highland - an amusement park famous for it’s world record breaking roller coasters and great views of Mt Fuji (weather permitting). We planned to ride the coasters and try to give ourselves heart attacks all day, then go to Kawaguchi-ko area (one of the five lakes around Mt Fuji), relax, and then try to climb a bit of the ole mount the next day! and then of course take the bus back to Nagoya in the evening so that we could return to our glorious job the next day. So it was a two day trip. Are you with me so far? I don’t know why this sounds confusing as I type it… Anyways. Read the pictures!!

I must interrupt the photos to plug the fabulous onsen we went to after dinner. Here’s their website. We got a discount coupon from K’s House and checked it out. It was a little late at night so it was pretty much deserted. There is an indoor pool, a bubbly spa, an outdoor pool, three outdoor ceramic tubs, plus a dry sauna upstairs!! Nice and toasty water - the perfect way to warm up and relax after wandering around in the rain or climbing a mountain. And back to the photos:
