Tokyo Day 3: Mount Fuji

After a nice breakfast at the hotel, and preparing a lunch bag to go, we jumped in our car for the day and headed out to Mt. Fuji!

As our car made the way up the mountain we were greeted by “mountain music” which was made by the intentional design of grooves in the road (like on the side of US highways to wake drivers up) that were positioned in various places and of various sizes to create a melody. Pretty cool! 
We were lucky to have a clear view of the mountain, but unlucky because it was closed to climbers because of the season. 

On our way back to Tokyo we were delighted to find a mountain roller coaster to pass some time before dinner.

The remainder of this post will be delivered in Haiku (a traditional Japanese poetry style).

Red, orange, green
Colors of the changing seasons
Summer fades away



Snowy mountain peak
Fog covered hills obscure view
One with nature


Peace and tranquility
Crowds of people stand silently
Communion with nature


Round and round
Up, down, over, and through
Roller-coaster ride two


Seafood capacity maxed
Ham sandwiches as western lunch
Pizza for dinner

(food consumed before photos could be taken!)

Continue to Osaka Day 1 here.
